Jeremy Piven struggled to deliver his lines during a sexy scene with a stripper in THE GOODS: LIVE HARD, SELL HARD – because the beauty ended up almost strangling him with her legs.

The Entourage actor starred in the 2009 comedy, and is seen canoodling with a stripper in one scene – but the shoot was more difficult than it appeared for Piven.

He explains, “She scissored my head with her legs and started jamming my neck. The problem is I had this massive monologue and she’s wrenching my neck and cutting off all the oxygen to my brain.

“It’s an interesting experiment because when you have a massive monologue you obviously have to stay on top of your lines, rattle it off and make it look improvisational.

“But when you have no oxygen, it’s a bit of a problem. So it was a challenge and it was really fun and difficult at the same time.”

It appears as though Hollywood’s Casanova has struck again.

One week after Jeremy Piven was spotted leaving a Golden Globes party arm-in-arm with January Jones, the unlikely duo popped up again – this time on the sidelines of the Saints-Vikings NFC Championship game Sunday night in New Orleans.

Though most would assume the coupling of Piven and Jones would be a one-time deal, the television stars have defied doubt.

But whatever romantic spark exists between the two may already be fizzling.

According to Eonline.com, the couple “didn’t seem to be paying much attention to each other.”

While Jones was reportedly using her Blackberry most of the time, Piven was tweeting photos of himself on the sideline.

“He was flirting with two brunettes all night,” says a spy. “Eventually, one of them ended up giving him a lap dance to the Kings of Leon song ‘Sex on Fire.’ ”

That fish-free diet must be doing wonders for Piven’s libido. Also at the party was Eva Longoria Parker, who spent much of the time dancing and taking pictures of friends.

Jeremy Piven and an unidentified blonde guest attend Ottawa Senators vs New York Rangers game at Madison Square Garden on October 3, 2009 in New York City.

Jeremy Piven is off the hook.

An independent arbitrator has decided the actor did not breach his employment contract with producers of “Speed-the-Plow,” the Broadway revival that the thesp abruptly exited in December.

The arbitrator, George Nicolau, also did not find the actor in breach of the collective bargaining contract between thesps union Actors’ Equity Association and the Broadway League, the trade association of legit producers and presenters.

“All you can ask for is your day in court, and I got it,” Piven said.

Producers of “Plow,” meanwhile, responded to the decision with a joint statement that read, “While we respect the decision, we strongly disagree with it.”

Piven, one of the topliners of last season’s well-received staging of David Mamet’s showbiz comedy “Plow,” cited a medical diagnosis of mercury poisoning as his reason for departing the show before he had finished out his originally skedded engagement. With rumors swirling along the Rialto about the actor’s hard-partying ways, producers contended he willfully violated his contract.

In February, the dispute was brought before a grievance committee made up of five members of the League and five of Equity, in keeping with the labor agreement between the two orgs. Because the committee could not reach a unanimous decision, none was handed down.

Producers of “Plow” — led by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel and Jam Theatricals, among others — then opted to pursue independent arbitration.

The arbitrator heard both sides in proceedings that ran June 8-9 in Gotham. After approximately 11 weeks of deliberation, Nicolau’s decision was released Thursday afternoon.

Piven’s role in “Plow” was filled first by Norbert Leo Butz (“Catch Me If You Can”) and then by William H. Macy. The production went on to recoup its $2.25 million capitalization costs before it finished its limited engagement in February.

For his part, Piven hopes to return to legit work at some point. “I’d love to climb back on stage,” he said.
