The Agent Dance: Jeremy Piven Officially Shitcans ICM
It seems like just yesterday that a source within ICM called the rumor that client Jeremy Piven had, ahem, shitcanned ICM in favor of CAA, the poach-happiest agency in town, "completely untrue and patently false." Cut to almost exactly 24 hours later:

Jeremy Piven has elected to go to CAA.

It's always the shitcanned who are the last to know. We fear there will be no hugging it out today at ICM.
Fun fact: Local legend has it that CAA wanted nothing to do with Piven before Entourage, but that Emmy nomination suddenly made them extremely horny. Nice to see that there are no hard feelings.
