JEREMY PIVEN - PIVEN'S CRUSH ON VON TEESE

JEREMY PIVEN has prompted rumours of a romance with glamorous burlesque star DITA VON TEESE - after he was caught buying her dresses. The Entourage star was spotted snapping up two mini-dresses from a gift suite in Hollywood last week (ends11Jan08), and confessed to staff they were for a "curvy brunette" he had a crush on. Piven later let slip they were for Von Teese, after realising he didn't know her size. An employee tells the New York Post, "He said he likes her, but it's not official yet." Von Teese's laywer Keith Fink confirms the pair had met, and urges Piven to make a move, telling the Post, "She is single, and she's not dating, so he should step up to the plate because there's a lot of guys interested." Piven has never married. Von Teese divorced rocker Marilyn Manson in December (07).
