Jimmy Kimmel & Sarah Silverman Split

Heather — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:43:36 +0000

After a five year relationship the hilarious Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman end their romance. Not even a year ago Silverman made a comedic short film about her fictional romance with Matt Damon. Not to be outdone Kimmel responded with an equally fictional love affair with Ben Affleck. The couple that met on Comedy Centrals prank show, "Crank Yankers" announced on July 14 with reps from both Jimmy and Sarah to Vanity Fair's website that:

Jimmy and Sarah have and will have no further comment.

There are no rumours of a third party, or anything volatile. The break up seems clean and amicable at this time. Both are busy at work and all seems well on each end.

Ich bin gerade aus Zufall bei YouTube auf ein sehr großartiges Video gestoßen! Hillary Clinton bekennt: "I'm fucking Obama!" (Zum Verständnis ist es dringend notwendig, dieses Video zu kennen - ach ja, natürlich sind beide Videos Satire - aber das ist hoffentlich offensichtlich genug...)

Celebrity Baby buys his own Diapers

Actress Christie Campagna has been waiting for her big break. Although she has appeared with Brad Pitt in the original Oceans 11, and had a small roll in Scorpion King with The Rock, she is still waiting for the perfect hollywood leading lady role. Who would have guessed that it would be her 6 month old baby Riley that would be following in his moms footsteps? " He can finally start paying me back for diapers" Jokes Campagna on his recent guest roll on the Sarah Silverman show. Sarah also cast Christie's daughter Bailey to star as none other then Sarah Silvermans own daugther on her hit comedy sitcom. Talk about a family blessed with star quality! Daughter Bailey Campagna is represented by the Osbrink Agency, the same agency that represents child stars such as Dakota Fanning. While pregnant with her mini celebs, Christie was represented by the modeling agency Expecting Models, that has represented a range of celebrity baby bumps like Ali Landry and Kristen Holly. http://www.expectingmodels.com/

I have the honor to be able to photograph the Campagna family on a regular basis. The thing about being a child star, is you need a new head shot every month!

So, who's tops in your Emmy pool?

Sarah Silverman is nominated for an Emmy.

warpedcorp — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:06:44 +0000

For Sarah Silverman, this has been a week of good news and bad news.

First, the bad: On Monday, it was reported, she and boyfriend of five years, Jimmy Kimmel broke up.

Now, the good: On Thursday Silverman, 37, was one of those lucky enough to be nominated for an Emmy.

But, now for the weird news: the TV Academy nod is linked to what she did on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, an over-the-top music video in which she and the Sexiest Man Alive flaunted their (fictitious and funny) affair to Kimmel, all set to music in a ditty titled, "I'm F------ Matt Damon".

The Emmy nominating committee clearly liked what it heard. Silverman is up for the gold in the category of outstanding original music and lyrics, along with her fellow writer-composers on the ditty Tony Barbieri, Wayne McClammy, Sal Iacono, and Dan Warner.

Their competition for the statuette are those who wrote the song "I Ain't Got No Rhythm" for the Disney Channel's Disney Phineas And Ferb; "The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)" and "Inner City Pressure," both from HBO's Flight of the Conchords; and "Sad Fitty Cent," from FOX's MADtv.

Only, so far, there's been no reaction on her nomination from composer-comedian Silverman.

Since the breakup, in fact, there has been no comment from either Silverman or Kimmel on anything of a personal nature. He made no mention of the split on his show this week.

The Emmys will be handed out Sept. 21.

If Sarah Silverman & Jimmy Kimmel Can't Make It -- We're Doomed!

ihatevalerie — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:46:21 +0000

The day after I started this block in an angry, uncontrolled rage that could only be cured with a pen (or a keyboard, I guess), I find out America's golden couple of comedy - Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel have called it quits.

Wow.

Five years. I know what that's like. You know why? Because it's very similar to 4 years and 4 months. I bet Jimmy Kimmel doesn't have a new girlfriend yet, though. And Sarah Silverman? Well, she's fucking Matt Damon, of course.

So, if a couple as fantastic and zany and off-the-wall as SSilv and JKim (I don't know why I just did that) can't pull it together...what the eff is up with all of us? Now, my ex isn't much of a Jimmy Kimmel, but I'm definitely like a Sarah Silverman. We're more like We were more like a Sarah Silverman and an Ashton Kutcher. Maybe that was the problem.

A day for mourning all around.

More to come.

I'm F-ing No One

One of my least favorite couples, Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel, are splitsville after five years of dating, their reps confirmed on Monday. No word yet on the reason for the split.

I gotta say though, I'm not surprised. Silverman took up with Kimmel in 2002 while he was still married to his wife (and mother of his two children), Gina. Karma, anyone?

It's no secret I don't care for Silverman. I don't think she's funny at all, and I think her cute-girl-with-a-potty-mouth schtick is tired and lame. Kimmel is certainly funnier, but his comedy is still meh. And they both give off a definite "tool" vibe.

It'll be interesting to find out why they broke up and where they go from here. All I know is Silverman better keep her home-wrecking paws off Matt Damon because even though that video (I'm Fucking Matt Damon) was cute, she doesn't need to go bust up his family too.

NTV Station Today: Feist Hits Sesame Street, Silverman and Kimmel Hit the Bricks

Liz Shannon Miller — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 01:04:19 +0000

I was a big fan of Feist's music before the iPod commercial lodged 1 2 3 4 inside our heads, and now she's improved upon it -- by adding Muppets. This Sesame Street appearance is an almost flawless recreation of the original video, but with simpler lyrics for the under-four set, and penguins. In a word: awesome.

Also, Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel officially announced the end of their relationship, which makes this a perfect opportunity to reflect on their two big viral hits from earlier this year. Who did the former couple used to f***? Remember the good times at NewTeeVee Station!

JIMMY KIMMEL AND SARAH SILVERMAN SPLIT

Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel Officially F***ing Other People

Liz Shannon Miller — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:22:06 +0000

You know that moment a little bit after you find out that two of your friends have ended their relationship -- the moment that follows all the sympathy and condolences, the moment of "oh, crap, they were such a fun couple, and now they won't be having those awesome BBQs anymore"? That's the way I feel about Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman breaking up. Because in the grand tradition of real-life couples Lucy and Desi and George and Gracie, their union created some hilarious comedy. Though perhaps the nature of the pieces was an early warning sign.

Silverman presented I'm F***ing Matt Damon to Kimmel as a gift in honor of Jimmy Kimmel Live's 5th anniversary (it was originally meant to be aired in November 2007 during Kimmel's birthday show, which never happened due to the WGA strike), and uploads of the video quickly appeared on YouTube in a Lazy Sunday-esque wave.

The choice of partners is deliberate, as Jimmy Kimmel has a long-standing joke feud with Matt Damon (culminating in a rage-filled appearance in September 2006), but who knew that Matt Damon could not only rap, but bust out some 90s-dance-crew moves?

And who knew that Kimmel would raise the bar so dramatically with a follow-up featuring Damon BFF Ben Affleck? I'm F***ing Ben Affleck may start off like a cheap rip-off, but soon afterwards ups the ante, both in an artistic and cast sense: the quasi-official YouTube upload lists Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Rebecca Romijn, Benji Madden, Joel Madden, Dicky Barrett, Christopher Mintz-Plasse a.k.a. Mclovin, Lance Bass, Dominic Monaghan, Meatloaf, Pete Wentz, Joan Jett, Huey Lewis, Perry Farrell, Macy Gray and Josh Groban. Sure, there are no butterflies. But there is a "We Are The World"-esque chorus and Harrison Ford in a convertible. Advantage: Kimmel.

Of course, Silverman and Kimmel didn't work together on these shorts -- both were directed by Wayne McClammy, a Jimmy Kimmel Live segment director who's parlayed his success into exciting directing gigs. But the established nature of their relationship in the public eye is what gives these pieces the additional kick. What makes "I'm F***ing Matt Damon/Ben Affleck" so much fun is that the humor of the pieces reflect that stage in a romance when all the insecurity is gone, when both partners are so comfortable with each other that they can make these sorts of tasteless jokes. Now that they've broken up, it's just a little sad, to think of the people they are now, um, f***ing.

But maybe there's a chance they got together for one last breakup music video. Everyone knows those are always the best.

Sarah Silverman & Jimmy Kimmel Call It Quits

Risque comic queen Sarah Silverman and her late night host boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel have called it quits!

Reps for both stars confirmed to Vanity Fair that the couple, who had been dating for five years, have broken up.

Sarah and Jimmy's popularity soared earlier this year when videos they made — with help from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck — became YouTube hits

Damon, Affleck unavailable for comment

Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman Split After Five Years

fabulous86 — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:41:32 +0000

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel and comic Sarah Silverman have called it quits after five years of dating, reps for the couple confirm to Usmagazine.com.

The break up was mutual, a source says.

"Jimmy and Sarah will have no further comment," their reps Lewis Kay and Amy Zvi tell Us in a statement.

Vanity Fair first reported the news.

Silverman, 37, was spotted at Hugos in West Hollywood on Saturday with a male friend.

"She really looked like she was in good spirits," an observer tells Us. "She was laughing and smiling. Very animated."

But a few minutes later, Silverman – who ate organic quinoa topped with fresh fruit – grew somber and became enthralled in a heart-to-heart conversation with her pal.

"She was talking and it looked like he was listening and then advising her," the onlooker tells Us. "This went on for around 20 minutes."

Mutual friend Jonah Hill – who has appeared in comedy skits on Kimmel's ABC show – was dining in the restaurant and also stopped by to say hello.

"Jonah's appearance definitely had an effect on her," a witness tells Us. "They spoke for just a minute. And after he left, Sarah looked momentarily pensive."

Kimmel, 40, and Silverman celebrated their five-year anniversary in February by creating parodies for his show about sleeping with half of Hollywood

Silverman began the faux rivalry with her tune, ""I'm F—king Matt Damon." Kimmel joked to Us at the time that he "hope[s] they're happy together!"

Kimmel got his revenge with "I'm F—king Ben Affleck" — starring Brad Pitt delivering a FedEx package, Harrison Ford blowing the couple a kiss and Cameron Diaz making obscene gestures.

The pair met during a roast for Hugh Hefner, where Silverman told the audience he was fat and joked he had no charisma — but that didn't stop them from working together.

"He hired me to do voices on [Comedy Central's] Crank Yankers and around the second season of that we started hanging out," Silverman has said. "A while after that he kissed me."

Kimmel separated from his wife Gina in 2002 after 14 years of marriage. Silverman has said she wouldn't consider getting married until gay marriage is legalized.

More proof that love is a tragic tale told by a fool suckin' on chili dogs outside the Tasty Freeze...So I was listening in on Scott's convo this AM at the work establishment and overheard that Sarah Silverman & Jimmy Kimmel have decided to give their romance the bird and part ways. Is it just a publicity stunt? I dunno, but it was in Vanity Fair and oh my, they had this totally awesome article by Elvis Costello a while back where he picked music for every hour of the day! I love Elvis Costello. Don't you? I took this picture of him with my friend/coworker a few months back. I totally freaked out after I took it and ran away like a little girl. He was totally wearing a scarf. Or was it an ascot? I don't know. The British can be so fey sometimes...
