Sarah Silverman still is responding to the negative reaction to her Britney Spears jokes at the MTV Video Music Awards. “The joke that everyone was upset about — me calling the kids `adorable mistakes’ — was the most innocuous joke,” the 36-year-old comedian tells Us Weekly magazine in the issue that comes out Friday. “It never occurred to me that would be deemed hurtful or over the line.”

Um… Maybe, she needs to get out a little more, because I’m pretty sure that insulting someone’s babies is universally a no-no. Plus, her words were meant to push people’s buttons. That’s how she makes her living. So either “claim it and move on” or apologize. But please don’t play innocent. (shrugs)
