On Piers Morgan Tonight, Silverman revealed that when she met with Obama, she awkwardly blurted out, “I’m going to be naked in a movie!” when the President asked what was next for her.
Silverman said Obama responded jokingly, saying, “You’ll have to send me that.” Silverman insisted repeatedly that he wasn’t saying it in a “pervy” way, but trying to help her save face by “diffusing the situation generously.”
Shouldn’t Obama be like, working on the economy or something instead of hitting on Sarah Silverman? What’s next, is he gonna be in the Violent Torpedo of Truth tour?
Silverman has actually been an avid supporter of Obama since the 2008 election, which is why she got to meet the president. And I wouldn't be surpised if she gets a special meeting from Michelle now, too.

Silverman said on the Joy Behar show, “I’m probably not his type. I know he’s totally sober, but whether he is or not, I don’t like that coke-y energy…I’m a stoner. I like slow and chilled and let’s watch TV.”
Not only that, but Sarah talks back too much to be a Charlie Sheen goddess. I’m pretty sure that job entails doing what you’re told and not making sarcastic comments about whatever that is. And if Charlie Sheen shot Kelly Preston in the arm, I’d hate to see what he’d do to a wisecracker like Sarah Silverman.
In fact, he’s probably not even aware she’s female. It would take a lot of convincing on her part, and Sheen would only respond with: “But--you speak. And you don’t take your clothes off for money. You’re obviously a man.”

In the April issue of the magazine, Sarah talks about how she still loves Jimmy, marriage, and how she was depressed as a teenager. Here are some highlights from the interview:
On her first romantic encounter with Jimmy Kimmel:
“We were watching Broadway Danny Rose. We were like nose-to-nose for what felt like 40 minutes…then we just started kissing and making out and fooling around. It got all hot and heavy, and I was like, ‘Do you want to go to the bedroom?’ And he’s like [softly], ‘Okay.’ I walked down the hallway and into my bedroom, and I turn around and he’s standing in the doorway, totally naked…I don’t know how he got his clothes off in that amount of time. I’d never seen him naked before, so it was a little bit shocking. I was like [gasps], ‘Oh!’ And he goes, ‘Well, we’re definitely going to do it, right?’
On the Jimmy Kimmel breakup:
“Sometimes loving each other isn’t enough. You have to be responsible for your own happiness. You can’t stay in a relationship because you’re afraid of the unknown. But I will always love him. Sometimes I think maybe we’ll die together in our old age or something.”
One her interest in marriage:
“I love going to weddings, and I love it when my friends get married. I’m not against marriage, but it’s just not for me. I’m a vegetarian, but I don’t have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage, to me, is like eating meat. I think it’s gross and fu*king crazy… If you’re getting married today, it’s the equivalent of joining a country club that doesn’t allow blacks or Jews.”
On whether or not it’s true she swore as a child to please her father:
“It is. When I was three years old he taught me how to say ‘bitch,’ ‘bastard,’ ‘damn,’ and ‘shit.’ Looking back on it now it’s pretty obvious why I do the sort of comedy I do. As a kid I said swear words to adults, and they laughed wildly. Is it such a surprise I’m a shock comedian today? It makes total sense.”
On her severe depression as a teenager:
“I remember when it first happened. I came back from this camping trip, the one where I hid diapers in my sleeping bag, and it just washed over me like a cloud. It was like a cloud covering the sun. I remember the horror story I told myself over and over again: I’m totally alone in my body. Nobody will ever see through my eyes. I’m just completely alone.”
On what her psychiatrist prescribed her:
“You’re not going to believe this, but [my shrink] eventually had me taking four Xanax four times a day—16 Xanax a day, for a 14-year-old girl. She upped the dose every time. She should be in prison.”
On what musician is a fan of her racist jokes:
“Oh God, that’s the worst. I had a boyfriend who called it mouth-full-of-blood laughs. It’s when people are laughing at the wrong thing. One time the lead singer of a very popular band from the 1980s—I can’t give you his name—came up to me after a show, and I swear to God, he goes, ‘You’re my favorite comedian. You have the best n*gger jokes.’ I was like, ‘I…I…didn’t mean…” And he turns to his friends and says, ‘She’s got the best n*gger jokes!’ ….I’ll say just this: After that, I stopped believin’.”
On who she would choose to sing the song she wrote:
“I want to get one of those teen pop girls to sing it, like Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus, because it’s about teen angst…If I did it, it’d just be lame. But I think it’d really be cool if people were like, ‘You know that new Miley Cyrus song? The comedian Sarah Silverman wrote it.’ That would be awesome.”

It seems everyone has an opinion on the late-night bitch-slapping going on between “Team Coco” and Jeff Zucker and NBC. And most of them are siding with our favorite red-headed funnyman.
Pretty woman Julia Roberts didn’t hold back when talking with Billy Bush during the NBC Globes pre-show, saying, “NBC, you guys are in the toilet!”
Host Ricky Gervais took a stab at the Leno-O'Brien brouhaha, telling the crowd, “Let’s get on with it before NBC replaces me with Jay Leno.”
We’d say that’s pretty courageous for a guy who has a show on NBC, not to mention hosting the Globes on the peacock network! Then again, our bet is NBC won’t be offended since the show’s numbers were up http://www.hollyscoop.com/ricky-gervais/golden-globes-numbers-are-up_227... " target="_blank"> fourteen percent !
Earlier over the weekend at the Critics Choice awards, comedian Sarah Silverman revealed how Conan was the one who gave her her first break.
“When I was in NY, Conan really put me on all the time. The first time I was ever recognized was from being on his show. I played on the Conan Indoor soccer league,” she said. “They are home to me; I’m rooting for them. NBC displaced a lot of people by bringing the show here. People enrolled their kids in school and I don’t think six months is enough time.”
Other stars Hollyscoop caught up with didn’t want to get in the middle of the mess. At the NBC Universal Golden Globes after party “The Office” star Brian Baumgartner said, “I am on the team that employs me and pays me every single week. Whatever they want to do for the next couple of years that I’m working with them is fine with me.”
Chuck star Zachary Levi sang the same tune, saying, “I am not in any team. I am I am on team truth.”
Which begs the question, what is the truth? At this point there's a lot of speculation and no confirmations from NBC or Conan. One thing we do know is wherever Conan goes, his audience will likely follow.
In regards to the reports first reported on Hollyscoop that Conan will head to Fox, Silverman says, “I hope he does, I’ll watch.”
Stay tuned for the next chapter of Conan vs. Leno!

Jimmy Kimmel dressed up like Rosie O'Donnell to guest host The View this morning, and kept the topic of his break-up with Sarah Silverman humorous.
Just days after Sarah and Jimmy decided to call it quits for the second time, he had to explain to Sherri Shepherd why he thinks it had to happen.
Jimmy told the ladies, “What do you mean, what happened? Look at me! I’m an imbecile. And she couldn’t date an imbecile anymore.”
Doesn’t that just make you want to go and hug him?? It’s so sad! And although Jimmy was just being funny, we can’t help but think that there’s probably some truth to it. But the View ladies, especially Barbara Walters seemed hopeful that another reconciliation could be possible.
She asked Jimmy, “Is it really all over? Or is it going to be on-again, off-again?” and Jimmy replied, “I don’t know, ask her.”
So that pretty much means it was Sarah’s doing. At least Jimmy has a sense of humor about it all! It’s not easy dealing with The View panel after a break-up!

The two started dating about six years ago, but called it quits a few months ago. They then reunited and tried to make it work, but apparently the relationship was not repairable because they have broken up once again, Us Weekly reports.
“Sarah initiated the split this time,” a source said. "He's bummed."
"He's really blue -- very down," added another source. "Seems like it's over for good this time. He's sad because he just bought a new place and now has nobody to share it with."
Jimmy and Sarah made such a cute couple, we're bummed to hear about their split! Maybe they'll get back together once again!

She touched on scandalous subjects including her relationship with Jimmy Kimmel, Barack Obama, and adoption trends in Hollywood.
She said: "Jimmy [Kimmel] was yelling at me for being Jewish the other night. And he said, 'You need glasses to see and pills to breathe.' "
She talked about attending an LA fund-raiser for the president-elect a year ago and asking him: " 'Sen. Obama, when you were in school in Boston, did you encounter any racism?' And he said something really interesting. He said, 'I'm Kanye West.' "
On the topic of adoption, Sarah poked fun at Angelina Jolie and Madonna saying: "I would like to adopt someday, thank you. I think if you adopt, you really have to go brown with it because otherwise you don't get the credit." She definitely knows how to push the comedic envelope, that's for sure.

The two shot the sh*t for while, until the tension was broken by Jimmy showing a clip of Sarah singing in a local competition. They then get down to business and talk about what we all want to hear about…their break up!
We guess they’re back together, because Sarah asks Jimmy if he kissed anyone while they were split up! We like them together, so we hope this time it lasts.

They both attended Howard Stern’s wedding on October 3rd, and eyewitnesses watch Jimmy with his hands wrapped around Sarah’s waist. Too cute! Their reps declined comment, but a source says they’re definitely back on but taking it slow.
Sarah appeared on The View today and refused to give Barbara Walters any satisfaction. When asked what was going on with Jimmy, Sarah replied, "In total respect to you and your legendness, I do not feel beholden or compelled to define my personal relationship. It’s not like a big drama thing, we're just not defining it. We're just being right now. Is that okaaaay?”
She then told the New York Times, “We talk every day. It's fine, it's great. I'm doing his show at the end of the month. We're very Demi and Bruce."
We wish them the best! And in other Sarah news, The Sarah Silverman Program premieres on Comedy Central this week.
