Jeremy Piven stricken with “Extreme Mercury Toxicity”

Actor Jeremy Piven (Entourage) 43, has left the cast of the Broadway revival ‘Speed-the-Plow’ after being advised to do so by his doctors. Piven had complained to the show’s producers that he wasn’t feeling well. After seeing a Dr. Carlon Colker, he had “extreme mercury toxicity” and that “a test revealed that Jeremy had the highest level of mercury that he has ever seen, which amounts to six times a healthy amount of mercury, in his system.”

Colker told the Web site  that a major symptom of mercury poisoning is extreme fatigue. He also said  Piven was  having neuro-muscular dysfunction, which resulted  in  his having trouble  lifting his arms and legs, and that he  started to feel dizzy.

Wahlberg hopes for ‘Entourage’ movies

Mark Wahlberg has spoken about his plans to turn HBO series Entourage into a film franchise.

In an interview with website Moviefone, he admitted that the success of the Sex and The City movie may open the door for Entourage, a show he executive produces, to move to the big screen.

“We’re doing season five right now. We’re hoping for maybe three [or] four more seasons, and then maybe a film or two,” he said.

“Obviously the Sex And The City success has opened up a window of opportunity there.”

Entourage, based on Wahlberg’s early career, focuses on fictional actor Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) as he rises to the Hollywood A-list.

The show is really addicting to watch and to also think that most of the show is based on Wahlberg’s life as he was growing up is unbelievable!
