Sarah Silverman makes us go tee hee hee. Check out her latest video, which she premiered on “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday. (Notice: not on Jimmy Kimmel‘s show, like she did her now infamous “I’m F**king Matt Damon” video.) In this one, she’s come up with a genius plan to end world hunger and get rid of those pesky commercials with sad music that try to get you to sponsor a child—sell the Vatican.
Do Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have a sex tape? Do I want to know the answer to that question? If there is one, and I’m forced to watch it, can I stab my eyes out afterward? These are the pressing questions of the day. Some random dude in Canada says Kimmel and Silverman made a sex tape when they were “on vacation a few years ago.” Purportedly, they “forgot” the camera, and now a resort employee is shopping the tape. The screen caps show a glimpse of somebody who could be anybody, including one of my exes, on top of someone else who you can’t see at all. Also: These knuckleheads aren’t even together anymore. I remain dubious and horrified. We will continue to bring you more of this terrifying sex tape gone wrong story as it continues to break my will to live. [ZackTaylor]
Esquire has taken pains to uncover “75 Things You Didn’t Know About Women,” and they’ve gone straight to the horse’s mouth to find out ladies’ deepest, darkest untold secrets.

Some of the funniest ladies ever—i.e. Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Christina Applegate, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mary-Louise Parker and Jane Krakowski—got together for an Emmy round table and it’s pretty adorable. Suck it, Christopher Hitchens!
“I don’t like fat jokes about women. Men can take it because we live in a society where fat men still deserve love, still can be respected. Fat women are treated (in the white culture, anyway) like s**t, and it bums me out.
—Comedian Sarah Silverman on what she doesn’t think is funny [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]
Give comedians—give them 140 characters and they’ll find a joke that fits. This week in Tweet Beat, Michael Ian Black pretends he’s on “Sesame Street,” Sarah Silverman defends the emoticon, and Ellen saves a bird.
Last night, techies from all corners of the World Wide Web gathered at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City for the 13th annual Webby Awards. The Webby Awards are like the Oscars of the Internet, honoring websites, advertisers, videos, and films in more than 70 categories. While the interwebs are pretty cool and all, what makes the Webby Awards super special is that winners are limited to acceptance speeches of five words or less, making them like truncated haikus. After the jump, our favorite five word speeches from last night.
Obviously, we are big Tina Fey, Amy Sedaris, and Aisha Tyler enthusiasts. So we immediately clicked on this Huffington Post poll about 15 of the leading ladies of funny. But—wait—it asks readers to rate the women on their looks? Even HuffPo acknowledges that it’s a “poll of ridiculous proportions.” Sure, these women are beautiful. But it’s their wit, slapstick antics, and all-around hilariousness that stole our hearts. So while we wished they asked, “Who’s the funniest comedienne?” we decided to take a look at the current rankings. What we found may surprise you.
Melissa Rycroft, the contestant dumped on the season finale of “The Bachelor,” will replace Nancy O’Dell on “Dancing With the Stars.” Take that Papa Bach! Oh, and considering she’s a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, the competition should be scared. [People.com]

Who is Amber Rose? She’s the chick everyone is talking about because she was walking around half naked while shopping with boy toy Kanye West. She does have a good body though. If I were her, I’d be half naked all the time too. [The YBF]
The airlines are charging us for everything nowadays. One European airline is about to make us pay extra to use the bathroom aboard the plane. You’re screwed if you don’t have any money. [Holy Moly]

Who says women aren’t funny, indeed. Even the cover for the current issue of Vanity Fair (typically kind of a snoozefest, in our opinion) is funny, as Saturday Night Live‘s Amy Poehler gently cups Tina Fey’s breast. The inside photos feature even more hysterical ladies, like our fantasy best girlfriend, Amy Sedaris, Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler, and Jenna Fischer, all proving that, yes, women are effing hilarious and that there’s nothing sexier than a person who can make you laugh until you pee your pants. Check out some knee-slappin’ moments from behind the scenes of the momentous VF shoot, after the jump…
Touchy subject, I know. Once a week I write a round-up for Jezebel, Gawker Media’s women’s site, about the misogyny that runs rampant on all of the web’s gossip blogs. A frequently targeted topic is the issue of rape. Some of the blogs I read regularly (mostly for Missdemeanors) make tongue-in-cheek, but still extremely offensive jokes about rape. Here’s a recent example from the blog What Would Tyler Durden Do?
“I read somewhere that the reason dudes rape girls is because they think the girl is really pretty. It’s basically a compliment.”
Horrible huh?
