    See, when Hemingway did this, it was with class. He wanted out of his contract with a minor publisher, Horace Liverwright, which required another book. So he wrote a silly send-off of Sherwood Anderson, star author of HL. That's how you do it. And HL duly refused the manuscript and Papa was free to sign with Scribner's for lots more bread. In later years, he acknowledged it was ungentlemanly, but he suffered from mercury poisoning from catching all those marlin.

    Note: My favorite Hemingway novel of all time now is "The Torrents of Spring," the above-cited satire of "Wineburg, Ohio." Go figger.

    Your comments about Piven's condition show a continual lack of knowledge about the presence of mercury in fish. As one who has had very similiar conditions to Jeremy was tested with high amounts of mercury, ignorance is bliss. I quess it just feels better to be crticical and judgemental. What goes around, comes around is my experience. When I was full of vitality, I was contemptuous of weak people, too. Now, I have been forced to be compassionate about conditions I know nothing about. I'd trade compassion for judgementalism anyday but it is a hard way to learn.

    @edwina3: Your comment about Piven's condition shows that you don't know what you are talking about, since Piven was photographed maintaining a nightlife that would give Lindsey Lohan pause while allegedly being too sick to work.

    @edwina3:

    So you're too hungover to do eight shows a week as well?

    Bloviating in defense of Piven suggests you're on his payroll, which would be sad, or that you are the man himself, which would be sadder.

    Let's see how many other doors he can slam shut just before his hit show decides to fold for good...which should be anytime now.

    I wonder if the AEA arbitrator enjoyed the night on the town with the cast of Entourage since I can't imagine a sane, un-bribed, individual could have reached such a conclusion.

    This is why I ain't no Broadway producer. I have never in my life respected a decision with which I disagreed, starting with that foul document, my divorce decree.

    Yes, he said "climb back on the stage" not "climb on some stripper named Destiny"

    In either case, it involves a repetitive and increasingly tiresome act.

    "And he has a better chance with Destiny than he ever does coming back to Broadway"

    Exactly. That's probably the only good thing to come out of this. Here's hoping he never gets the chance to "act" on stage again.

    That photo is taken from early shoots in 'Magnolia' before Piven contracted 'andromeda strain' and was replaced by Tom Cruise.
