Britney Spears reportedly threatened to walk-out on her altered comeback performance of ‘Gimme More’ after overhearing comedian Sarah Silverman rehearsing her monologue in which she called Britney’s sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, ‘cute mistakes.’ (Watch The Footage Here)

According to X17Online: Needless to say, Britney was PISSED! … as any mom would be. Britney was so upset she walked through her performance just to get it over with (despite encouragement from her friends, including Sam who was apparently yelling at Sarah backstage) to skip out on it all together). She held up her end of the bargain and got a major slap in the face from Sarah.

Britney is rumored to have ordered MTV to prevent the acid-tongued comic from talking about her kids, and MTV agreed. Sarah performed her act as rehearsed.

She is so not funny. And not just because of the bad joke about Britney´s kids. Just can´t laugh at all watching the stupid things she says…
And if she thinks she is funny, that´s just embarassing.

Silverman haters, puh-leez!!! Right, it’s not cool trash kids - agreed. But how can any of you say that anything that comes out of Brit’s life doesn’t come out of total chaos?….yes, even her sons…You have to have your head stuck way down in the sand if you don’t see that. Silverman is just calling it the way it is - and that is unfortunate for Sean Preston and Jaden James.

i’m not a fan of hers but GOOD FOR YOU SARAH! britney deserves that AND more. she’s a comedian, that’s her job. i hate britney and let’s face it- those kids are mistakes. she doesn’t deserve kids. sarah was hired by MTV to do HER job and she did and thats ALOT more than we can say for this trainwreck. furthermore MTV knows what they’re getting themselves into by hiring her and they did it anyway. so don’t whine and bitch about it. i can assure you all the executives at MTV encouraged sarah even though they wont admit it. NO WAY would they not allow her to say what she wants. she brings them publicity. so STFU britney fans

It’s just a joke and she doesn’t deserve to go to hell for it.”Mistake”-wow what an insult besides like maybe half of us were unplanned so she really isn’t just straight dissin’ the kids it was more targeted towards Britney Spears who hasn’t demonstrated being such a good mom anyways. That isn’t even that racy have you heard George Carlin or Lisa Lampanelli? And if she’s that stupid she probably still spell better than you assholes.

P.S- I’m not even a fan of Sarah Silverman

Shame on Silverman! What sort of a human being makes fun of innocent children??? I won’t be watching her again!!!!

I think she is very vulgar and offensive. Some of the things she says may be “true”, but that does not give her the right to be mean to other people. At the end, she wasn’t even funny and she made a fool of herself.

I think that Sarah killed that set! I love Britney and wish her all the best, but to blame your terrible thing you call a dance routine on Sarah is just stupid…. I mean yeah, Sarah could have been a little more tasteful, but you know what, FUCK THAT! who cares, it is a joke… Since when has everyone become so literal! Jesus!

FYI… Brit’s vagina is nasty and her kids look like white trash all the time..; They NEVER look clean, i mean for all the money that Britney has you would think she would buy them some soap! SHIT!

If Britney was not around neither would people like Sarah be around. They cannot make jokes without putting people down. Its the only way they can get noticed

Liz- I’m with you, Sarah S’s monologue was straight hilarious. But it would’ve been funnier 5 years ago when Brit was at the “top” of her game. Really, it’s hard to burst a bubble when all the air has gone out of it already.

On the other hand, the truth hurts, but it’s the truth… and it WAS really funny!

you people that think sarah is funny, you apparently are out of ur minds!!!who would make jokes about kids?????no matter how bad of parenting skills britney might have there’s no excuse for nobody to make fun of her children!

To be honest, I don’t like either of them. Britney is washed up and I think Sarah is bland. However, I don’t think Sarah was wrong for what she said at all. As it has been already been stated, MTV (which is horrible now) hired her to do her job….and that was to be a comedian….not a humanitarian. As for the kids comment….I actually thought it was pretty funny. She took something that Britney publicly said and used it against her. It’s known. It’s proven. Britney said herself that her kids were mistakes. I also think that some of you bloggers that are responding in Britney’s defense are taking it a little too far. How is Sarah making fun of Britney’s kids? If anything, she is making fun of Britney and what she has said in interviews and in papers. Maybe this will make Britney wake up and realize that she needs to start acting like an adult and take better care of her kids. I thought Sarah’s monologue was brilliant, even though I don’t like her much. She said what she wanted to say, she got reactions positive and negative and that’s that. She practiced her right to speak freely…and you can’t be mad at her about that.
