Jeremy Piven denies fight with Kattan

Entourage star Jeremy Piven has denied reports that he fought with Chris Kattan during a taping of Alexa Chung's MTV show.

The actor was rumoured to have argued with Kattan backstage at It's On With Alexa Chung after Kattan poked fun at his alleged mercury poisoning.

Speaking to Radar Online, his representative said: "Jeremy and Chris did see each other at MTV and they were joking around backstage before a talkshow appearance.

"If it was interpreted as a fight, someone wasn't paying attention, that’s all. Both gentlemen spoke on the phone yesterday, there is no issue."

Piven hit the headlines last year after he pulled out of a Broadway production of Speed-The-Plow citing mercury poisoning.
