Gay & Racial Jabs on 'Entourage' Set
The creator of "Entourage" is vowing to put a stop to the gay and racial "jokes" being thrown around on the set of his show, after one of the stars revealed he's "occasionally" targeted ... and unhappy about it.
Rex Lee -- who plays Lloyd on the show -- was out in L.A. yesterday, where he claimed certain members of the crew "occasionally" make fun of his ethnicity and sexuality on set. Rex added, "I try not to let it bother me."
After Lee's admission, the show's creator Doug Ellin told TMZ he's "shocked and horrified" to hear about the situation and "will be speaking to everybody before we start filming again in March. It's not something condoned or acceptable."
Ellin also told us he already spoke to Lee -- and during the convo, Rex re-confirmed that crew members had made "insensitive gay jokes."
Ellin claims he's now going to lay down the gauntlet, telling Rex if it happens again, the culprit will be fired.

Why Can't Jeremy Piven Drive Home?
UPDATE: Piven's rep just called to tell us the Bronco went kaput last night and that's why he ditched it at the gas station -- apparently that's where he takes his jacked-up ride to get fixed. We are at the gas station this morning and we're told a mechanic is checking under Piven's hood -- car, that is.

Jeremy Piven at Taverna Tony in Malibu last night, drove off, but for some reason had a change of heart at a nearby gas station, left his car at the pump and hitched a ride with a random stranger.
