PIVEN MAY BE IN UNION TROUBLE

NEW YORK — The producers of "Speed-the-Plow" have filed a grievance with the stage actors' union against Jeremy Piven for abruptly leaving the Broadway revival last month.

He quit the David Mamet comedy less than two months after it opened to favorable reviews. Piven's doctor said the 43-year-old was too ill to perform because of high levels of mercury in his system, possibly from eating so much sashimi raw fish.

PLAYBOY PHOTO OF MADONNA FOR SALE

NEW YORK — A nude photo of Madonna, taken before erotic songs and risque costumes catapulted her to superstardom, is expected to sell for at least $10,000, Christie's auction house says.

Madonna, then known as Madonna Louise Ciccone, may have earned as little as $25 for the 1979 modeling session.

The full frontal black-and-white image ran in Playboy in 1985. Madonna was a 20-year-old dancer trying to make ends meet when she answered Lee Friedlander's newspaper ad seeking a nude model. The Madonna photo is among 150 from a private collection being auctioned Feb. 12.

EDITH PIAF LETTER CONFESSES LOVE

ATHENS, Greece — A love letter from French singer Edith Piaf to a younger Greek actor in which she confesses "I am capable of giving everything up for you," was auctioned yesterday in Greece.

The Petros Vergos auction house said the handwritten letter and envelope, dated 1946, along with a telegram sent that year and a theater program from a performance she gave in Greece, went to a private collector for $1,990.

The letter was to stage and movie actor Dimitris "Takis" Horn, who was six years younger than Piaf and had a long-standing romance with a popular Greek actress. He died in 1998. Piaf died in 1963.
