Sarah Silverman’s publicist has released a statement denying rumours that she was responsible for Britney Spears’ poor performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday. According to celebrity tattles, Britney overheard that Sarah was going to make fun of her two kids before taking the stage in a disastrous ‘comeback’ performance. According to a show insider, nobody knew Sarahs’ material prior to going onstage.

“Sarah did nothing but react to Britney’s actions in a comical way which is what she was asked to do” her rep told Perez Hilton.

“There was no MTV script approval” the insider told Perez “The only person who knew what Sarah was going to say was Sarah.

”When she rehearse she even said, ‘Joke. Joke. Joke. 50 Cent. Britney Spears. Etc.’ And she only mentioned the names of the people that she was going to talk about. No one ever heard her material before it aired.”
