Wouldn’t it be great if every time one of our favorite celebrities had a meltdown, Hayden Panettiere were there to weigh in on it?
Similarly, if every time a celebrity were asked a question about Sarah Silverman, the foul-mouthed comedian magically appeared?
Well, Hayden Panettiere was at LAX last night, returning from the VMAs in Las Vegas, when celebrity news photographers started asking her about – what else – Britney Spears‘ awful VMA performance and Sarah Silverman’s jokes.
Regarding Silverman’s effect on Spears, Hayden just turned around and said, “You can go ask her yourself, she’s right there!”
Sure enough, there she was! What a neat trick! You don’t see cheerleader Claire Bennet pulling off anything that cool on Heroes.
The photographer then went over and asked Sarah Silverman if she thought she was hard on Britney Spears.
“I hope not,” she replied, simply.
Asked if she thought her routine (calling her kids mistakes, making references to Britney’s oft-exposed vagina) threw Britney off, Sarah explained, “Since I didn’t do any of my jokes until my performance, it couldn’t possibly have.”
Another Britney Spears excuse out the window. Sorry, Chris Crocker. We know you were holding out hope that this one was true.
