...does the fact that Ari Gold, your character on Entourage, is based on a real individual affect the way you play the part? -Ibrahim Khan, Lahore, Pakistan The character is loosely based on Ari Emanuel, whose brother Rahm Emanuel is the White House chief of staff. He was my agent for a time, so I did get an eyeful and an earful of Ari Emanuel - that is for sure. I haven't heard any of his comments about my character. If he didn't enjoy it, I would've heard about it. (See pictures of Piven's career...

(Relay marks are faster than regular sprints because runners receive the baton while in motion, enabling them to accelerate...
...gold is not an important part of your portfolio? I've never understood gold and why you would want to own an asset that has no income return and actually costs you money to own and store. I sort of agree with what [Warren] Buffett said, about how he never understood why they send a bunch of men 5,000 feet under the ground in Africa to bring out this metal, and then they ship it all across the world and it's buried 1,000 feet underground at the Bank of England and the U.S. Treasury. There is something...
