Globes Winner Jeremy Piven Wants You To Know He Came Up With The Bitch-Hugging Thing All By Himself
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 3:50 AM on January 15, 2008
Once of the great tragedies of last night's decimated Golden Globes was being deprived of the opportunity to watch Entourage's Jeremy Piven, one of Hollywood's most enthusiastic awards recipients, take the stage and toe the always-difficult line between obligatory humility and "I so deserved this! This fucking show is nothing but four stoned jackasses high-fiving in a booth at Les Deux without Ari Gold!" self-aggrandizement
Instead, we had to settle for Dateline's pre-announcement-show interview with the eventual Best Supporting TV actor winner, during which Piven, answering a question about the ostensible burden of going through life having to hug out every bitch who wants a taste of Gold's iconic agent-embrace, reminds America that he was "lucky enough" to be the creator of the catchphrase; accordingly, he doesn't mind accepting the back-slapping love of his adoring public, although it does make him slightly uncomfortable when the celebration of his genius creeps into his house of worship.

Whatever it is, Shatner wants it back.

Is he playing the lead role in "'70s Schlub"? Otherwise - what's up with every bit of hair on his head, from sideburns to faux Jew-fro?

What was that on top of his head? It looks like something straight out of Critters.

I'm sorry, I was distracted by his story about being in temple for PASSOVER services. I feel guilty enough missing Rosh Hoshana services, don't make me feel bad for skipping non-existent services too.

That fellow is the picture of security-in-oneself, isn't he?

Jesus Christ, his hair looks like he's auditioning for I LOVE LUCY: THE DRAG YEARS.

@jasonelias: Can wn test out the tensile strength of the Piv's piece by having DeNiro choke him with a telephone chord.

@charlesincharge: You got that right! Passover services? Pivs must live in the Chabad section of Brentwood.

What's with all the mean posts? I love Piven! (True the hair looks hideous). But, Ari is the best thing on Entourage and it's about time Jeremy gets the props he deserves!

@nojo: And why doesn't Shatner have a line of wigs and toups the way Raquel Welch has?

He could have hairpieces with names like 'Star Date' and 'Tribble' and they'd all have the patented "Kling-On Komfort" wig caps for extended wear.
