JEREMY PIVEN - PIVEN DENIES DVD TIP RUMOUR

PIVEN DENIES DVD TIP RUMOUR

ENTOURAGE star JEREMY PIVEN has denied he once left a DVD of the show as a tip in a restaurant - insisting the rumour was completely made up.
Last year (07), a New York gossip columnist reported that the actor had been banned from the exclusive Nobu restaurant in Aspen, Colorado after leaving the first season of Entourage on the table as a tip following a meal.
But Piven insists that the incident never happened.
He says, "That's a good one. I don't even have a DVD of Entourage. The idea I would bring it with me and use it as a tip - these are creative people and they put some time and some energy into this. I think these are wasted talents."
Piven has also denied claims that he often demands extra goodie bags at celebrity events - admitting that when he does go home with free products, he gives it straight to his family.
He adds, "I have two nieces, Lily Rose and Pearl, who are insanely talented angels. I might want to grab something for them, but I don't know if I would want a blinged-out pink phone."
