Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel No Longer F*cking
Well, they may be fucking Matt Damon or Ben Affleck respectively, but comedians Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel are no longer fucking each other. A spokesperson or whatever for the couple tells Us that they've amicably parted ways after five years of snide, poop-joking bliss. Silverman was spotted eating at a restaurant shortly after the announcement came through. More »

Another Reason To Watch

Janet Jackson Controls Your Mind With Hand Signs
Janet Jackson: famous, but creepy. The sheltered, fame-enslaved singer is starting to act as disconcerting as her sheltered, fame-enslaved brother. She went on Jimmy Kimmel's show last night, bringing a robotic, vacant stare and a heart-shaped hand sign that she flashes to her followers in the crowd like some Skull & Bones ritual, sending them into emotional outbursts for no apparent reason. Bonus educational fact: She calls her fans "Janet fans." So there. Click to watch and wonder what created this woman.

Hollywood Cause Watch: Change vs Fucking Ben Affleck
Will.i.am's rousing pro-Obama anthem "We Are the Ones", follow-up to his similarly star-studded "Yes We Can", features Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, Kerry Washington, George Lopez, Eric Mabius, John Leguizamo, Ben McKenzie, Macy Gray and the Black Eyed Peas. Jimmy Kimmel's "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck," his response to his girlfriend's viral hit, "I'm Fucking Matt Damon", features Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz, Joan Jett, Macy Gray, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Pete Wentz, Perry Farrell, Benji and Joel Madden, Lance Bass, Josh Groban, Christina Applegate, Rebecca Romijn, Dominic Monaghan, Meatloaf, Dicky Barrett, Christopher "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse, Huey Lewis, and Josh Groban. Advantage: Kimmel. Masturbatory in-jokes about celebrity—still slightly more popular than earnest political pandering! (Also Macy Gray will pretty much show up for anything if you call.)

Five Rules For Getting Ten Million Views With A Parody
"I'm Fucking Seth Rogen!" It's funny! The comedy song is a response to a response to a one-shot joke on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, but that's okay because it's better than the original. Which is just one of five rules for making a parody that gets ten million views and takes you from "second place on a listicle in Wired" to "cover story titled 'Fuck Andy Samberg, Watch This' in Esquire."

Jimmy Kimmel Is Fucking Ben Affleck
The long-running "feud" between Matt Damon and late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel reached new heights earlier this month when Damon shot a video in which Kimmel's comedian girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, declared she was "fucking Matt Damon." Immediately after the Oscars last night, Kimmel fired back with a truly epic effort called "I'm fucking Ben Affleck," which included appearances from celebrities like Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz, Don Cheadle, Robin Williams and Huey Lewis, to name just a few. The Kimmel-Damon fight is, of course, wholly manufactured, but at least has been consistently funny, starting with Kimmel's regular end-of-show gag, "Apologies to Matt Damon, we've run out of time," and extending through to Damon's on-air tantrum about getting bumped and two gags involving Kimmel's special correspondent, Guillermo. Kimmel's latest Ben Affleck video takes the joke to new lengths — and new heights in the art of free PR: More »

Snapple Lets No Tie-In Escape Its Grasp
You didn't think that two-second mention of Diet Snapple in Sarah Silverman's "I'm F*cking Matt Damon" video would get away without being turned into a crass PR ploy, did you? Today Snapple's PR firm finally got around to watching the the thing, and put together a faux-apologetic letter to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, Silverman's boyfriend. Given that the video came out five days ago (which is ten YouTube Years), they should have moved quicker. Or had a better idea. The beverage corporation's full note to Jimmy— and the world—after the jump. More »

In These Web 3.1 End Days, Is Jimmy Kimmel The Only Cultural Arbiter Left?
Lee Gomes's "Portals" column in the Wall Street Journal usually addresses the question concerning technology with a boomer-friendly sort of phenomenology—as in, "gee whiz, look at this phenomenon!"—and little else. Today's edition seems at first no exception: Gomes has discovered a YouTube "bulging" with all sorts of talentless novelty acts—actually mostly just one sort: pasty white guy incongruously singing and/or dancing—that become famous, in a way. But Gomes interviews some of them, and finds them remarkably attuned to the limits and liminality of "being the latest, greatest Web meme... [mere] human kitsch." We learn, then, that the struggle for First Life self-actualization still demands the imprimatur of Man. And what kind of Man?"Mr. [Adam "Chocolate Rain"] Bahner is hoping his appearances on the likes of 'Jimmy Kimmel' will turbo charge a career in show business and voiceover."

Dear Devorah Rose, Dear Tricia Romano, Dear Internet
Each year (or really, every 11 months and two weeks or so, kinda), the Jews observe Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, during which leather shoes and doing it are totally forbidden. Then there are many apologies. Let it begin with us! While Emily is biologically only half a Jew, the theme of her Bat Mitzvah was "New York, New York," and her Mom did convert eventually. More »

'Social Life' Editor Devorah Rose Was Never A Stripper
Back in March, we'd heard that Social Life magazine editor in chief and Columbia M.F.A. student Devorah Rose was once a Champagne Room massage girl at Scores West. Last night, she set the record straight. "It's not true!" Then she paused. "Wait, don't write that I said it wasn't true! I think it's funny that people think that I was a stripper. Because anyone who knows me, well, they know how anal I am."
Sadly, she was talking about her OCD.

We Are Sending Jimmy Kimmel A Nice Bouquet
We have been getting so many emails pointing us to stories about Jimmy Kimmel's recent emergency appendectomy saying "haha" and "karma is a bitch." People, please, how immature! Oh and we especially have to deplore the disgusting thing that P*r*z H*lt*n said about this. You know, about how "no, he didn't have to get his stomach pumped from drinking too much of Clay Aiken's jizz, though that'd be pretty hot. Disgusting but hot." Really, P*r*z. Tut tut. More »

Buttafuoco and Fisher Ask, "Stunt for What?" on Less Prestigious 'ET' Spin-off
Back in 2004, when Queen Bee wannabe Hillary Rodham didn't even know that she didn't know what she knows now, a more sympathetic New Yorker self-published a book called If I Knew Then... And? Turns out that Long Island Ophelia Amy Fisher would have still fallen head over shotgun for that prime rib/subprime mortgage of a man

If you're like us, you woke up at two A.M. last evening (well, this morning) with the inexplicable fear that you had suddenly developed rectal cancer, and the only thing that could soothe your worried self back to sleep was the dulcet stuttering of Fox News's Andrew Levy trying to read from a piece of paper. If you're not like us, though, then you may have missed last night's "Red Eye" on Fox. A shame. Toward the end of the show, the willowy presence of our Emily Gould delivered an impassioned response to arch-nemesis Jimmy Kimmel. We pretty much spend our days resisting the urge to do physical damage to Emily, but even we've got to say this is kind of great.
