Kristen Stewart Thinks Your Vampire-Driven Conversation Is Passe

1:35AM Foster Kamer | Kristen Stewart hates talking Twilight as much as I do. Jimmy Kimmel’s schtupping his writer, A-Rod’s batting better when schtupping Kate Hudson, Miley Cyrus sucks at tipping, Jon Gosselin sucks like he did yesterday. Presenting your Sunday Gossip Roundup! More »

Sarah Silverman On Twitter (For Real This Time)

4:25PM Ryan Tate | Six months ago, someone made a fake Sarah Silverman Twitter account. But this seems like the comedian’s work, what with all the facetious Jewish jokes and invented profanities. (Click for highlights.) More »

Sarah Silverman Provides ‘Exhibit: Defamer’ As Proof She Did Not Bomb In The U.K.

3:28AM Seth | While her rendition of “Bound For Fun” at the 1985 Little Miss Shayna Maidel pageant was an undisputed triumph, Sarah Silverman’s more recent performance in London was slightly more controversial. The press was ruthless, calling her “overhyped,” “as funny as Tay-Sachs disease,” and “the worst thing to happen to England since Princess Margaret discovered Pilates.” Shortly after, we located some audience video and posted it; while the audio was muffled, it seemed to us that there was genuine affection for Silverman in the room.

‘Teen Sarah’ Adds Extra Embarassment To Silverman/Kimmel Reunion

4:09AM Kyle Buchanan | After taking on both Florida Jews and the entire United Kingdom, Sarah Silverman attempted her biggest feat last night: a grilling on Jimmy Kimmel Live by the on/off ex she sorta kinda lambasted at this year’s Creative Emmys. And then, as though that weren’t awkward enough, Kimmel had an extra surprise in store for Silverman (and it wasn’t Matt or Ben).

Sarah Silverman’s London Blitz: Did She Bomb Or Not?

3:25AM Seth | If you believe what you read in the papers, Sarah Silverman’s first full-length performance in the U.K. last night was a disaster unbefitting the Matt Damon-Fucking Jewess Queen of Hollywood. The BBC reports the crowd of 3600 at London’s Hammersmith Apollo—who had paid somewhere in the vicinity of $70-$100 a seat for the privilege of hearing Silverman’s fishy-smelling-gym-shorts stories—”slow hand clapped and shouted they wanted their money back” at the end of a 40-minute mini-set, then heckled “you’re over-hyped Sarah” and “I’ve seen longer clips on YouTube” until she came back out for an encore. Appropriately enough, we have YouTube video of said encore, and it suggests Silverman wasn’t quite as reviled by the inquisitive Limeys as the reviews suggest. It’s after the jump. More »

8 Dos and Dont’s For Making the Perfect Celebrity PSA

8:31AM STV | We’re 15 days away from arguably the most culturally charged election of the last 50 years, and it’s not just David Letterman’s outrage or Sarah Palin’s SNL cameos moving the needle. In fact, the celebrity PSA crop of 2008 is as ripe as it’s ever been — literally so, in fact, with every encouraging offering on the air giving way to three or four smug, pretentious, condescending or otherwise botched campaigns elsewhere. It happens every four years, as sure as the primaries; just when we think we’d seen it bottom out, along come Leonardo Di Caprio, Blake Lively, Carlos Mencia to knock us back to the Clinton era.

Jackie Mason Thinks ‘Sick Yenta’ Sarah Silverman Oughta Shut Her Punim

9:00AM Kyle Buchanan | Just as British funnymen Ricky Gervais and Simon Pegg have resolved to patch up their “fat idiot” feud, along come Sarah Silverman and Jackie Mason to fill the void with their own bit of culturally specific warring. Perhaps you’ll recall Silverman’s recent video for thegreatschlep.com, an organisation designed to coax young, Jewish Obama supporters to travel to Florida and convince their grandparents to vote Democrat. Creaky comic Mason is not a fan of this idea (to put it mildly) and in an ad paid for by a Jewish Republicans group, he tears into both Obama and Silverman, calling the latter a “sick yenta.” Careful, Jackie — if Silverman can handle talking shit about her ex-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel, she’s not going to be daunted by your dated patter. Both videos, after the jump: More »

‘I’m Fucking Matt Damon’ Doubly Honored, And Other Creative Arts Emmy News

5:25AM Seth | The Emmys, Oscar’s Paste-Eating Cousin™, will broadcast live on ABC this Sunday, presided over by a Frankenhost monster conceived in a test tube by devious tinkerers from the science wing of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The Creative Arts portion of the awards, however, were held Saturday at the Nokia Theatre. It was an evening for some of the year’s more specialised TV achievements—from those of Matt Damon-fornicating singer-songwriter Sarah Silverman to the hairdo Michelangelos of Mad Men, spinning beehives into gold—to receive their due. Kathy Griffin took best reality program for her second year in a row, this time eschewing acceptance speeches commanding the Prince of Peace to “suck it” in favour of less blasphemous shows of appreciation.

Defamer Matchmaking: Who Will Sarah Silverman And Jimmy Kimmel Be F*cking Next?

8:20AM Molly Friedman | Whenever a long-standing couple like Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel hit the skids, we feel the need to play Emma and set the lovelorn kids up with someone new ASAP. And since we were the ones who debunked the news that Jimmy had already rebounded with one of his writers, we feel like we should continue our tradition of suggesting a few paramours for the pair of funny people. See our suggestions after the jump.
