HOLLYWOOD -
Jack Black and
Entourage star
Jeremy Piven have patched up their relationship after a miscommunication emerged when
Black appeared on the
Howard Stern radio show.
The
Nacho Libre star appeared on
Stern's show last week and claimed that
Piven had held a six-year grudge against him because he won the role of a record-store geek in the hit film
High Fidelity.
Black insisted
Piven was still upset about losing out on the plum part and recently went out of his way to sabotage him while he was speaking to a director at a premiere.
The
King Kong star told
Stern, "(I was talking to a director when
Piven) stepped in and all of a sudden he was talking to the director and I was standing there facing the back of his head.
"I was like, 'Whoa, dude! What are you doing? You just cut me off!' He turned around and there was this strange, awkward tension."
A mutual friend tells PageSix.com that the two have now put their differences behind them, saying they "smoked a peace pipe at a friend's house in L.A. and discussed their mutual admiration for each other. Mutual admiration is in full effect."
