Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman Are Back On!
Originally posted 10/07/2008 12:00PM
Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman are back together.
"They're taking it slow," says a source. "They're on the road back to being together again."
The comedians, who ended their five-year relationship in July, have recently been spotted on dates on both coasts.
On Sept. 28, Kimmel, 40, and Silverman, 37, enjoyed a laughter-filled dinner together at L.A.'s Pattaya Thai Restaurant, says a source, and left holding hands.
Less than a week later, they attended pal Howard Stern's Oct. 3 wedding at New York City's Le Cirque restaurant, where Kimmel was spotted wrapping his arms around Silverman's waist and playfully grabbing her backside in plain view of photographers.
Reps for the comedians had no comment.

Jimmy Kimmel Addresses Clay Aiken's PEOPLE Cover
Originally posted 09/24/2008 08:00PM
Clay Aiken may have taken his decision to come out on the cover of PEOPLE seriously, but funnyman Jimmy Kimmel found some light-hearted humor in the revelation.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night, the host joked during the opening monologue, "The big story today – yeah, I know there's an election going on, and a war, and the economy's a mess, but each of those stories takes a backseat, if you will, to this cover of PEOPLE magazine: Clay Aiken is gay. That's right."
"You know what, I had a feeling he was. I did – although he made no mention of this at all at our fantasy football draft."

Sarah Silverman Thanks Jimmy Kimmel at Creative Arts Emmys
Originally posted 09/13/2008 10:30PM
Sarah Silverman may have won an Emmy award for a song boasting of a romance with Matt Damon, but it was her ex-boyfriend, Jimmy Kimmel, whom the comedian thanked from the stage.
"Let's be honest, Matt Damon had very little to do with this being popular," Silverman, 37, said while accepting her award at the Creative Arts Emmys for the salty music video "I'm F------ Matt Damon" at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
"Thanks to the person for whom this whole video was made: Jimmy Kimmel, who broke my heart – ohh, who'll always have a place in my heart," Silverman continued.

Sarah Silverman Addresses Split – With Humor
Originally posted 08/01/2008 10:15AM
No joking matter?
Sarah Silverman – who has been silent since her split with Jimmy Kimmel last month – briefly addressed the break-up during her stand-up performance Thursday night.
"Did someone tell you I'm going through a hard time?" Silverman, 37, jokingly told an audience of 300 at West Hollywood's Largo at the Coronet. (A few sympathetic cries came from the front of the crowd.)
But the edgy comedienne – who famously called Britney Spears's two sons "adorable mistakes" – quickly moved on and avoided jokes about Kimmel, 40, and relationships in general.

Ed McMahon Goes Back to Work – with Jimmy Kimmel
Originally posted 07/25/2008 05:00PM
Ed McMahon, whose recent money woes have been a topic of national news coverage, has found employment.
Johnny Carson's longtime Tonight Show sidekick is exercising his pitchman pipes by delivering a series of comical commercials for Pontiac cars that will be aired starting Monday on ABC's late-night Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Associated Press reports.
"It felt very good to be out of the brace and working again," McMahon, 85, said Friday, referring to the brace he requires after undergoing a third neck operation. (He is suing over his injury.) "I spent my whole life doing commercials, so here I was back doing a commercial again. It was very comforting. Believe me."

Jon Hamm: Sarah Silverman 'Doing Great' After Split
Originally posted 07/22/2008 07:40AM
Sarah Silverman's longtime friend Jon Hamm says the comedian is coping as well as can be expected after her recent breakup with Jimmy Kimmel.
"She's doing great," the Emmy-nominated Hamm told PEOPLE at Monday's Hollywood premiere of the second season of his acclaimed AMC series Mad Men. (The series resumes on the cable channel this Sunday, while the DVD set of the first season has just been released.)
But, the actor added, "It's a tough time for everybody ... you know that's never easy when something like that happens."

Minnie Driver Deaf to Doctor on Baby's Sex
Originally posted 07/16/2008 09:05AM
Though Minnie Driver has expressed her wish not to know the gender of her child, a doctor revealed that very info during a recent medical exam.
Still, the expectant actress, 38, insisted to her TV host on Tuesday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, "I don't know whether he said 'he' or 'she.' " How come? She was simply too busy concentrating on the doctor's comments about her cervix.
The two friends who accompanied Driver to the examination did hear the doctor, however – and one pal is allegedly blackmailing Driver to buy him things so he won't spill the beans, she said.

Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman Split
Originally posted 07/14/2008 03:10PM
Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have ended their relationship after five years of dating.
"Jimmy and Sarah have and will have no further comment," Kimmel's rep Lewis Kay and Silverman's rep Amy Zvi confirmed to PEOPLE in a joint statement.
VanityFair.com first reported the split.
The couple's over-the-top videos about fictional flings with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck became huge Internet hits since airing on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February.
PEOPLE even named the late-night talk-show host and the star of Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program its Funniest Couple Alive earlier this year.
At the time Silverman, 37, told PEOPLE their relationship worked "because we really, really, really like each other. He's kind and funny and maybe the most thoughtful person I know."
"Sarah is funny and smart and good to look at," said Kimmel, 40. "Plus, she likes fat guys. What more could I ask?"

Sarah Silverman & Matt Damon Send Love to Jimmy Kimmel
Originally posted 04/03/2008 01:05PM
Nothing can come between Sarah Silverman and her new "beau" Matt Damon – not even a major milestone in her boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel's career.
To mark the 1,000th episode of ABC's late-night Jimmy Kimmel Live, pseudo-couple Silverman and Damon took out an ad in Daily Variety Thursday, congratulating Kimmel on his success, while also jokingly flaunting their continued affections.
The trade-paper plug is just the latest strike in Kimmel and Damon's ongoing feud. Still no word, however, if Ben Affleck is plotting something equally romantic for his recently outed close friend.

Ben Affleck's Turn to Speak Out on Jimmy Kimmel Video
Originally posted 02/27/2008 07:00PM
They're the hottest new couple in Hollywood, and now Ben Affleck is speaking out about how he hooked up with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for their parody video response to Matt Damon and Sarah Silverman – as well as the secret bathtub scene that got cut.
Affleck tells EW.com: "I remember seeing Matt's [video] and thinking to myself, 'Oh, it would be funny to do one with me and Jimmy.' They called and immediately I was like, 'Yes, it should be this idea ...,' and they had the same idea more or less already. I have a lot of respect for the group over there – they're really good comedians – so I just committed to it."
The actor says the singing was more difficult than wearing a pair of short shorts, but he acknowledges, "You couldn't really do it half-speed. You had to be painting toes and blow-drying hair. At one point we were going to take a bath together, but the bubbles couldn't get high enough, so that ended up getting scrapped."
