Jeremy Piven Soy Milk Man Breasts

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

23rd Annual Nautica Malibu Triathalon

Actor Jeremy Piven is in the news alleging that soy milk might make him grow double D’s.

“I was the guy that dabbled in soya milk, but now I’ve found out soya milk has enough estrogen for me to grow breasts, I had to put the soya milk down.”

“It was a very confusing time.”

It might help to add that Piven isn’t exactly known for moderation, given the fact as a self described “fish eating vegetarian,” he ate so much seafood it gave him mercury poisoining.

There has been controversy surrounding the risk of soy products to males.

But often the problems are discovered in those that tend to consume large amounts of the protein.

In fact, in one documented case of gynecomastia (medical term for big man boobs) found the subject in question drank as much as 3 quarts of soy milk a day.

That’s 12 cups a day.

How on earth did he ever find time to look for a good bra?

Bottom line is, you can overdo a good thing.

And men, if you’re that afraid of developing your own vegan chichis, drink some rice or almond milk instead.

Jeremy Piven either hasn’t learned a lesson or enjoys playing marine Russian Roulette.

Piven was spotted at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Chicago recently chowing down on a piece of whitefish, according to suntimes.com.

Seems he has forgotten about the mercury poisoning incident months ago that caused him to drop out of the Speed The Plow play production.

Earlier this summer, Piven claimed to be fish free for 10 months. Is it time to go back to rehab?

Whitefish is supposed to be considered lower in mercury than other varieties, but that’s only helping Jeremy, not the fish and other marine life.

Overfishing.org has suggestions for combating the problem of commercial and non-commercial fishing depleting the oceans such as limiting the number and type of fish captured.

We’ll go one step further and recommend Jeremy and other “fish eating vegetarians” to take the plunge into the veg ocean themselves-give up flipper completely!

Jeremy Piven Learned “The Sweet Truth” From Kelly Keough

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 17th, 2009 in Actors, Chefs, Film & TV, Food & Drink.

23rd Annual Nautica Malibu Triathalon

Jeremy Piven received a sugar free, gluten free and dairy free birthday cake while on the set of Entourage from chef Kelly Keough.

Yeah, the former mercury poisoning bedfellow was probably disappointed the cake was fish-free as well.

But the event led to an increase in Keough’s sales and she has her own cooking show on the Veria channel called The Sweet Truth.

Kelly is also the author of Sugar-Free Gluten-Free Baking and Desserts.

Jeremy Piven Claims He’s Fish Free, Says “Don’t Blame Fish.”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, June 20th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

The Malibu Lumber Yard Opening - California

After a bout with mercury poisoning last year, actor Jeremy Piven says he’s hasn’t eaten fish in 10 months.

“I’m a lot better,” Piven told PEOPLE. “What basically happens is when you work your whole life without stopping like I’ve done, you end up in the hospital. Basically, I had a cardiologist say your body is trying to catch up and it can’t. I had a resting heart rate of 47, something called arrhythmia, along with all the mercury poisoning.”

Piven claimed that years of being a “fish eating vegetarian,” caused him to get sick.

If Piven claimed to be a fish eating vegetarian before, but has dropped Flipper from the plate, has he picked up other animals instead? It would be great if Piven learned a lesson and is now following a totally vegetarian diet.

He alleged his illness caused him to drop out of a play production, Speed the Plow.

Piven gave a public service announcement about fish and wanted everyone not to blame them.

“By the way, for the record, it’s the not the fish’s fault. It’s a man-made problem. It’s all the mercury being dumped. Women shouldn’t eat tuna, especially when you’re pregnant.”

Goodness, he’s almost sounding like an environmentalist now.

Hell’s Kitchen Ben Thinks Tuna Is Vegetarian

Take a good look at this man, folks. If he is preparing your vegetarian meal, run away and don’t eat it.

Twenty-six year old Ben from Chicago, IL is the latest contestant to burn in Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen.

After last week’s performance, we’re not surprised.

You see, Ben asked Gordon if a vegetarian salad needed tuna.

The question resulted in a slew of tirades from Ramsay, but Ben just didn’t get it.

Later to the camera, Ben boasts the only reason Ramsay yelled at him is because Ramsay see him as a potential winner in the contest.

Maybe Ben himself has been eating too much tuna like Jeremy Piven and is suffering from some sort of mental confusion from mercury poisoning.

Jeremy Piven Hasn’t Learned, Still Studying With School Of Fishes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 in Actors, Not So Vegetarian.

15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals

The self proclaimed “fish eating vegetarian” Jeremy Piven claims he had to withdraw from the production of a play, Speed-The-Plow, because he developed mercury poisoning.

However, it doesn’t appear as if he’s learned his lesson, as he’s still chowing down on Charlie Tuna and his little mermaid brothel.

He was recently spotted eating calamari salad and tuna tartare surrounded by the ladies, including Michael Phelps’ ex, Marina Katz, at the Mondrian Hotel’s Sunset Lounge.

“After recovering from mercury poisoning, a patient should be avoiding foods that are known to be contaminated with mercury, such as tuna, for at least three months,” Dr. Grace Keenan told OK!.

After recovering from mercury poisoning, you’d think a patient would be terrified to touch any tuna for more than three months. Sigh…

Jeremy Piven’s Mercury Madness Results In Mockery: Fishy Fool!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 26th, 2009 in Actors, Not So Vegetarian.

15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet

He looks suspicious, and the Actors’ Equity grievance committee is looking to uncover the truth.

Jeremy Piven was set to appear in front of the committee today to give his case on how mercury poison forced him to withdraw from the production of Speed-the-Plow.

Add one more reason to the list of why you shouldn’t eat fish, besides the fact that it’s bad for the planet (and the fishes too, of course): People will laugh their arses off when you get sick.

“It’s my understanding that he’ll be there — unless he has too much sushi on the plane from LA,” someone involved in the proceedings joked, according to the New York Post.

The actor went on sick leave from the Broadway production months ago after he claimed doctors found as much as five times the amount of normal mercury levels in his blood. 

He never returned to the show, even after he allegedly got better.

The Producers of Speed-the-Plow alleged Jeremy really wasn’t sick with mercury poisoning, and that he went partying during the time he supposedly was on bed rest.

If Piven can’t produce the results showing he was sick, he could be forced to settle financially with the producers.

Piven had said then that, “years of being a fish eating vegetarian was enough to do the trick and act as a catalyst.”
