Jeremy Piven: TV Guide News

ABC's in Love, Greenlights Rob Thomas' Cupid | Today's News: Our Take | 3/13/2008
Criminy, run and buy a lottery ticket, Rob! On Thursday, just hours after news broke about the Veronica Mars creator possibly bringing Beverly Hills, 90210 back to life for the CW, ABC gave a green light to the pilot for Thomas' new version of Cupid, the romantic comedy he gave the tube back in the '90s. Back then, Cupid starred Jeremy Piven as a man who believed it was his mission to help Zeus boost romantically challenged mortals. The update is being pegged as a "reinvention."BecauseCupid has been in development since the fall, the Reporter says, it is in "first position" — that is, Thomas' priority — should both the comedy and the CW's new-0210 (if penned by him) get picked up.Related:• Veronica Mars Boss in Talks to Pen 90210 Spin-off read more
SAG Goes Mad for Men | Roush Dispatch | 12/20/2007
I suppose I could dwell on the fact that a major Hollywood guild has once again ignored the very existence of TV's finest acting ensemble, Friday Night Lights — in favor of the mugging and posturing on Boston Legal. As they'd say on another SAG favorite, Grey's Anatomy: Seriously? Is it wrong to want to form our own picket line?Also: What's up with snubbing Pushing Daisies and its fantastical cast?And yet the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, announced Thursday morning, did shower love on my favorite new show of 2007, AMC's Mad Men, and its terrific star, Jon Hamm (who has just joined the cast of the remake of the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, which sounds appropriately robotic). So while not all may be forgiven, the wound stings a little less.My favorite part of the SAG Awards is the ensemble-cast category. Because let's face it, most great TV shows rely on cast chemistry. Even The Closer, which on face value looks like a... read more
Veronica Mars Boss in Love with Cupid Again | Today's News: Our Take | 10/3/2007
ABC has pacted with Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas to develop a new version of Cupid, Thomas' short-lived yet well-liked 1998-99 series about a man who believes he was sent to Earth by Zeus to assist romantically challenged couples. "For the last couple years, I've been talking to ABC about how to do an anthological romantic comedy à la Cupid or Love Boat," Thomas tells Variety. "We kept coming back to Cupid as the best of the group, so they said, 'Why not... do Cupid again?'"Thomas will now pen an all-new pilot, but stresses, "I'm not going to reinvent it. What they're buying is the show." That said, Jeremy Piven's titular role will, of course, be recast. read more
When Emmy Winners Attack! | The Joy of Sets | 9/26/2007
OK, first off, how freakin’ hilarious was The Bachelor Monday night? Holy human desperation, I loved it! And Hillary from my hometown made the first cut. Represent, Philly ‘ho!Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk last week’s Emmys. Yes, the in-the-round stage was a hot circular mess and why so many statues went to TV-movies, I’ll never know. It’s not like any of the good Sci Fi Originals get nominated. Hello, Mansquito? So robbed. But Seacrest didn’t totally suck, the opening Family Guy number was inspired and some of the winners were deserving.So if you’re like me and think you suffered a stroke that made the word Gandolfini sound like “Spader,” or ya can’t get your head around anyone from Torque ever winning anything, you might want to grab the champs on DVD. Turns out that the slights are, in fact, slight.Ugly Betty — Much like Betty’s Guadalajara poncho, you could spot America Ferrera’s... read more
Jeremy Piven, Entourage (Supporting Actor/Comedy) | Emmys Live Blog: Backstage with the Winners! | 9/17/2007
Piven starts off by talking about the fine line between playing tough and playing an a--hole. "If you play monster without making him human, I don't think it's interesting," he says. "We all have our demons, we all have our shadow.... I don't think it's me winning this, it's this character, this aggressive type-A wrecking ball." If Ari were to win an Emmy, Piven says, "He'd make a bad joke, like I did."Not that anyone, anyone who reads Page Six questions it, Piven, in recalling how many times he has brought his mom as a "date" to an awards show, insists, "I'm straight."I ask Piven if it's strange at all to win for material that aired not this past season, but over a year ago. "I would [accept an award] for something I did in junior high school," he laughs, "and quite honestly I would do a victory lap and hold a press conference." Asked about this year's eco-friendly "green" theme, Piven says, "I don’t want to get political now because I've had a drink.... It'd get ugly and... read more
