  • Sarah Silverman: Did She Smuggle Weed into SAG Awards on Saturday?

    Sarah Silverman is a joker. That’s what comedians do. That’s why it’s hard to tell if she was kidding when she told E! News host Giuliana Rancic she had smuggled weed into toe SAG Awards on Saturday evening.

    It was technically her boyfriend that Sarah Silverman claims was holding her weed at the 2016 awards show.

    “My boyfriend is smuggling it in his rectum!” she said.

    While chatting with Giuliana Rancic, Sarah Silverman recalled a prior Emmy win. She told an E! News host at the 2014 Emmy Awards that she had pot in her purse, and felt that even though she won, her admission overshadowed the entire event for her.

    On Saturday night, she had no intention of being overshadowed.

    “I didn’t bring a purse this time,” Sarah Silverman told Giuliana Rancic.

    That’s when she claimed her boyfriend was smuggling her weed for her.

    Of course it’s quite unlikely that Masters of Sex star Michael Sheen had Sarah Silverman’s pot in his rectum.

    What a perfect ruse, however. You can bet that no one checked to be sure.

    Sarah Silverman drew many eyes in her direction on Saturday night, and it likely had nothing to do with what she and Michael Sheen may or may not have had on their persons. One reason is the fake mustache she wore as she served as one of the show’s presenters.

    The second reason is that Silverman rocked a fitted Vivienne Westwood gown–made by the same designer that made Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw’s wedding gown.

  • Jennifer Lawrence Debuts Platinum Hair for ‘Passengers’ Role Opposite Chris Pratt

    Jennifer Lawrence looks great no matter what she does to her hair. When she sported a pixie cut after years of long, lush locks, she was adorable. That’s why now–with her new platinum hair color–she is as gorgeous as ever. Face it–Jennifer Lawrence simply can’t look bad.

    Spotted on the Atlanta set of her upcoming film Passengers, photogs got a sneak peek at her dyed tresses.

    Chris Pratt stars opposite Jennifer Lawrence in Passengers, and fans will love this next tidbit of information. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence are romantically involved in the film, which is due out in 2016.

    Directed by Morten Tyldum, who also directed The Imitation Game, Passengers is “a romantic sci-fi drama about a traveling spacecraft carrying thousands of people to a distant colony. When there is a malfunction in one of the sleeping chambers, one of the passengers, Jim Preston, played by Chris Pratt, is awakened while everyone else in the chamber has 90 years left of sleep travel. Unwilling to die alone, he awakens a fellow passenger, Aurora, portrayed by Lawrence, and sparks subsequently fly.”

    In addition to a platinum blonde Jennifer Lawrence and a very sexy Chris Pratt, Passengers also stars Lawrence Fishburne and Michael Sheen.

    What’s your take on the new hair color Jennifer Lawrence is sporting these days? Do you agree she couldn’t look bad if she tried?

  • Sarah Silverman to Play Lesbian on ‘Masters of Sex’

    Sarah Silverman will reportedly have a recurring role on season two of Showtime’s Masters of Sex. The series is adapted from the book Masters of Sex: The Life and Times of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the Couple Who Taught America How to Loveby Thomas Maier. The show follows William Masters (played by Michael Sheen) and Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan)–noted real life pioneers of human sexuality–as they make their way from doing research on the topic in a Missouri hospital to covering Time magazine. You’ve surely heard of Masters and Johnson. Well, this show is about them–with some drama added in for good measure and top ratings.

    Silverman will play the role of Helen, who is Betty’s (played by Annaleigh Ashford) former lesbian lover. Helen is also a psychic. Her pining for Betty is a clear facet of her role.

    Although best known for her raw stand-up comedy, Sarah Silverman isn’t new to acting. She has also starred in Wreck-It Ralph, Take This Waltz, and Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic. She will appear soon in both Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West and the drama I Smile Back.

    Silverman’s new role in Masters of Sex will mean she and her boyfriend will be spending even more time together. She is dating Michael Sheen, who plays Dr. William Masters.

    Are you a Sarah Silverman fan? Do you watch Masters of Sex? It will certainly be interesting to see the comedian in this intriguing new role.

    Alas fans will have a while to wait before seeing Silverman as Betty. The new season of Masters of Sex airs on Showtime beginning in July.

  • Sarah Silverman to Join ‘Masters of Sex’ and Xbox

    Comedienne Sarah Silverman is set to join the cast of the Showtime period drama Masters of Sex.

    Silverman, who received an Emmy nomination for her Comedy Central show The Sarah Silverman Program, will take on the guest star role of “Helen.”

    Masters of Sex features Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan as famed pioneering sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson.

    American Horror Story cast member Danny Huston will play Dr. Douglas Greathouse, the privileged head of a hospital’s obstetrics department. Caitlin Fitzgerald, Teddy Sears and Annaleigh Ashford also star in the show.

    The first season of Masters of Sex received Golden Globe and WGA nominations and was named one of AFI’s top TV programs of the year.

    Silverman appears in Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming feature A Million Ways to Die in the West. She is also romantically linked to Sheen.

    Silverman is also slated to host a variety comedy show pilot developed by Xbox, which will begin to create its own original content.

    Xbox users are able to stream shows and movies through their consoles with the use of Netflix and Hulu, but soon they can watch original Xbox content. Silverman’s show is one of a dozen in the works for the company.

    “Microsoft has a long and rich legacy in the content business,” said Jordan Levin, executive vice president of Xbox Entertainment Studios. “Games have been part of our DNA for at least the last 15 years, and creating original TV content is a logical next step in our evolution.”

    In addition to the comedy show, Xbox Originals is also developing two projects based on the Halo games, and a six-part documentary series, Signal to Noise.

    Xbox Originals also plans to provide live coverage of events, beginning with a live stream on June 13 of the 13th Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

  • Rachel McAdams Split: Actress Is Single Once More

    Rachel McAdams is reportedly single again after splitting from her beau of two years, actor Michael Sheen.

    The couple met while filming the Woody Allen movie “Midnight In Paris” and eventually became close, though McAdams has said that she’s wary of starting a relationship while on-set.

    “Michael and I didn’t get together while we were filming Midnight in Paris, which I feel strongly about not doing when I’m working. We became quite good friends, which I think is a great way to start,” McAdams says. “I felt very blessed to have made a Woody Allen film in Paris together.”

    McAdams has dated her co-stars previously, including Ryan Gosling, whom she was engaged to after they filmed “The Notebook” together. And while no reason has been offered for the breakup, McAdams has said in the past that it is notoriously difficult for celebrities to maintain relationships when they are often called upon to travel for work.

    “Michael and I never spend more than three weeks apart — we rack up a lot of air miles — but you have to be quite adaptable in this business whether you are in a relationship or not. Trying to establish roots somewhere is a bit of a joke,” she said.
