Silverman's Surprise Secret Boyfriend

February 4, 2008 12:00 PM

For those of you who haven’t heard by now, I don’t want you to be in the dark a moment longer.

Sarah Silverman dropped a bomb on longtime boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel in this video, and it's the hottest news to hit the celebrity gossip world in a while: She and Matt Damon are involved. And the video proclaiming their bedroom escapades has become one of the fastest-spreading viral videos in recent memory.

I received the video from a network executive on Friday afternoon, back when the video was at 50,000 views. As of Sunday night, it had passed the 2 million view mark. Now that’s viral.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this is the real water-cooler conversation.
