The hot list The cast and crew of ABC's ``Cupid'' - one of the few fall series receiving much positive buzz - are in Chicago for a season of shooting. That's because of Jeremy Piven. Piven, the star/co-producer of the show, believes in reality - a lot - and he picked Chicago, ``because we needed a large-city setting, and I didn't want it to be like `NYPD Blue,' for instance, where they only shoot exteriors in New York. Chicago is rich with fresh shooting sites.'' The actor, who played the cousin on ``Ellen'' and portrayed the edgy head writer on ``The Larry Sanders Show,'' notes, ``I hate it when shows or actors fake situations. For instance, If I'm supposed to be eating in a scene, I make sure I haven't eaten in a while - and fill up when we're shooting.'' Piven, who was raised in the Chicago area, will also be getting a lot of big-screen exposure this fall. He has two features coming up - the independent ``Just Write,'' and ``Very Bad Things,'' with Cameron Diaz and Christian Slater. With reports by Stephanie DuBois.
