No more Sex.

my favourite TV show character with the most brilliant script / lines ever written for – is no doubt, Ari Gold from Entourage (HBO). Whoever invented Ari Gold is a total genius. Almost as genius as the brainchild of Yogitoes.

(Useful fact: Ari’s character is based on the real-life Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel, who broke away from mega-agency ICM to form the Endeavor Talent Agency, which represents such stars as Vin Diesel and Larry David, both of whom are represented on the show by the fictional Ari Gold. Likewise, both Emanuel and Gold represent series producer, Mark Wahlberg, upon whose experiences in Hollywood the series is loosely based. Ari Emanuel also once represented Jeremy Piven himself, and in an interview on the special features of the Season 3 Part 2 DVD, Entourage creator Doug Ellin says that the real life Ari Emanuel demanded the “Ari Gold” part be cast to Piven and wouldn’t accept anyone else to play him.)

I started noticing the actor, Jeremy Piven when he started playing main’s best friend in Serendipity (John Cusack’s) and The Family Man (Nicholas Cage’s) in 2000 & 2001. On my defense, I was only 18!

After glued to watching season after season of Entourage to be blown away by the most insulting yet inspirational lines from the mouth of Ari Gold (and Johnny Drama!), I found myself paying more attention to Jeremy Pixen after I watched Jeremy Piven’s Journey Of A Lifetime (2006) where Piven travelled to Northern and Southern India for a spiritual and yoga journey (as if they are any different – LOL. Auww, come on. Lighten up!)

Since then, I have been bending over backwards to find out more about Jeremy Piven and his quest for yoga.

Infamously, Jeremy credits his (fish) mercury poisoning incident to discovering Fish Pose.

From Men’s Fitness:

Since then, he has taken up yoga. “[My preconception was] you have to wear a leotard,” he jokes. “I mean, do you have to wear a bindi and hold incense?” But now, he credits lotus poses and downward facing dogs for giving him the calm to play Ari Gold on the TV show. “Ari’s got some quick-twitch anger,” Piven says.

“To do that repeatedly, you have to come from a place of stillness.”

He claimed that it only took him nine months to master the splits  – here’s to hoping, guys!

What’s with the sudden craze of Jeremy Piven, Ninie – you may ask?

Well, one – Entourage premiered Season 7 when I was in the US,

and two, someone Direct Message-d me on Twitter just the other day !

While I can’t don’t want to share what he DM-ed me (errr, since my boyfriend might read this?), all I can say is – I can’t wait!

Love and LA light.
