Jeremy Piven Wants You to "Hug It Out"

Jeremy Piven dropped by the Rolling Stone office in June 2006, just in time to talk up the third season of HBO's hit Entourage. Long a scene-stealer in big-screen characters (Old School, Serendipity), Piven found his breakout role as Entourage's Ari Gold, the hilariously ruthless agent to Adrien Grenier's budding blockbuster star. It's the evil role he was born to play.

"I'm not a pretty boy," Piven admits, "so an agent like Ari never would have looked twice at me, coming up."

Piven also shared stories about being scarred in grade school, playing a "Type A guy" and Ari's signature line -- "Let's hug it out, bitch." (Yes, it's currently available as a ring tone.)
