Comics Silverman, Griffin: Serious Emmy Winners

Sarah Silverman came to terms with Jimmy Kimmel. Kathy Griffin called a truce with Jesus.

Such were the overtures made at last night's Creative Arts Emmy Awards, where Silverman won her first-career statuette for her, um, emphatic Jimmy Kimmel Live contribution, "I'm F--king Matt Damon," and Griffin scored her second straight win for My Life on the D-List.

The victorious Silverman thanked her cowriters and her A-list costar, enough though Damon, she said, "had very little to do this being being popular."

Silverman also paid tribute to Kimmel, with whom she uncoupled in July.

"I'd like thank Jimmy Kimmel, who broke my heart…" she said, before reversing course for punchline purposes, and restating, "who will always have a place in my heart."

Holly Madison Did Not Dump Hef for Criss Angel!

TheDirty.com's report to the contrary, Hugh Hefner's alpha girl Holly Madison is not moving out of the Playboy Mansion. And she is not hooking up with sleazy magician Criss Angel, either.

"I really don't know where this stuff comes from," Kevin Burns, executive producer of The Girls Next Door, tells E! News exclusively. "Holly has not moved out and has no plans to do so. She is very much busy supervising and editing Playmate shoots at Playboy Studios West. She's also been working with my company on several new ideas for Playboy-themed TV shows and specials."

He continued, "Holly's trips to Vegas have been 'mini-vacations' to hang out with friends and to scout for the magazine. She's just having a good time."

Crisis averted: The end of GND as one of TV's best guilty pleasures is not nigh, and more importantly, the Playboy empire of high-class hoochie will not want for a queen. Whew.

Dishing on the downlow during the Project Runway finale in Bryant Park, designer Michael Kors and supermodel hostess Heidi Klum share a moment. Maybe they were joking about how Jennifer Lopez pulled out as judge due to an ankle problem. And no, we're not saying she's got fat ankles.

This was reportedly an actual injury that kept J.Lo from judging the fashion competition (Tim Gunn volunteered in the stitch of time), but won't keep her out of her charity triathlon on Sunday. Huh?

There's no crying in baseball, but apparently there are fashion-judging injuries. Who knew?

Kanye's in Hawaii, Hasn't Lei'd Down With Mac Yet

Kanye West Tom Vickers / Splash News

Kanye West is in Hawaii now, maybe working, maybe relaxing on some beach. Either way, he's got his trusty Mac with him—not to mention the same hoodie he was sporting yesterday—and he seems to be gearing up to write the blog post to end all blog posts.

But since we haven't heard from him yet, we can still only speculate as to what prompted his showdown with the paparazzi Thursday morning at Los Angeles International Airport.

The cops, for one, sure don’t know.

"I have no idea," Sgt. Jim Holcomb of the L.A. Police Department's Airport Division told E! News Friday when asked what provoked the incident. "I didn’t know who he [Kanye] was until the day this happened."
