Sarah Silverman thanked her ex-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel when picking up her Creative Arts Emmy award, despite receiving the gong for a song about cheating on him with Matt Damon.

The comedienne split with the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host in July after a five-year relationship, during which she recorded a comedy music video for his TV talk show entitled I'm F**king Matt Damon.

The video, performed as a joke with Good Will Hunting star Damon, scooped two awards at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday, winning best original music and lyrics and a picture-editing gong.

On collecting her award, Silverman, 37, joked, "Thanks to the person for whom this whole video was made: Jimmy Kimmel, who broke my heart - oh, who'll always have a place in my heart."

Silverman didn't forget to thank the song's star, Damon, but joked that he only played a minor role in the video's success.

She added: "I'm going to be honest, (he) had very little to do with this being this popular."

Don Cheadle showed the lighter side of his harrowing new thriller Traitor on U.S. late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday by switching places with the host's bumbling sidekick for a torture scene skit.

Cheadle appeared to be set for a beating at the hands of hardcore officials in the prison cell scene, but he brought in his chubby 'stunt double' Guillermo Rodriguez just before the first punch made contact.

Then the actor sat back, calling for more violence and wincing at the smackdown as the Kimmel show regular appeared to take a battering.

Sitting behind the camera, the Ocean's Thirteen star yelled, "Hit me harder... If you hit me in the liver I'll actually vomit... Right in the nose, right in the nose... Oh man, I'm getting my ass kicked."

Cheadle even stepped in at one point to show the brutes in the scene how to slap his double, and held up what he insisted was a picture of revered newsman Larry King naked as Rodriguez squirmed.

The skit ended with Cheadle slapping his stand-in with fish and then stating, "I want to amp this up a little bit; let's hook a car battery up to my nipples."

Rodriguez appeared to get his own back after the skit, kneeing him in the genitals during a friendly embrace. The Kimmel regular said, "I don't like fish!"

Latest: Actor Luke Wilson has designed a street sneaker/golf shoe hybrid for sportswear firm Puma.

The Old School star, an avid golfer, teamed up with Swedish sports star Johan Edfors to create a line of Puma golf products - and he expects the new multi-purpose shoes to be the range's big seller.

Wilson jokes he came up with the idea while preparing for a lazy summer in Hollywood.

He says, "In between the strikes that keep happening in Hollywood, I have quite a bit of extra time on my hands, so, in between fixing up old Victorian houses and designing clothes and creating my own line of hair conditioner."

Wilson plugged his new shoe on U.S. TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night by giving the late-night programme's host the golf sneakers he was wearing as a gift.

The actor left the show in his socks.

Wilson told Kimmel he still has no idea why he was approached to create a golf fashion line - because he's famously unstylish.

He added, "I have friends that make fun of me (because) I tend to dress in the same colours, so I wind up looking a bit like the Ups (delivery) guy or just your local postman."

America's first couple of comedy, Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman, have ended their five year romance.

A representative for late night U.S. TV host Kimmel and the comedienne has confirmed the split, insisting it was mutual.

Just five months ago the pair hit the headlines when their star-studded parody sketches for Kimmel's show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, became an Internet sensation.

Silverman's I'm F**king Matt Damon tune and video was followed by Kimmel's I'm F**king Ben Affleck.

The videos featured a host of A-list stars including Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Robin Williams and Cameron Diaz.

Sexy former Grey's Anatomy star Kate Walsh raised temperatures on late night TV in America on Tuesday when she chose to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! wearing nothing but a white bathtowel and high heels.

The actress told Kimmel she didn't like the fit of her designer gown, and so chose to wear linen instead.

Thrilled host Kimmel asked, "Is today my birthday or something?"

The Private Practice star, who wore the towel during her entire interview on the show, said, "I was supposed to wear a fancy, sparkly sequined dress... It was very hot and I was ready to rock it out.

"The tailor had taken it in... and I looked like a Vegas stripper. For me, it was not right... I wanted to keep it pure and clean... I'm bringing back the towel."

Walsh showed off the green gown, adding, "Someday I'll wear it."

Game 3 of the NBA Finals Tuesday night averaged 14.5 million viewers during primetime, 55 percent more than the 9.0 million who tuned in for Game 3 a year ago, according to Nielsen Media Research. The ABC telecast, which saw the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics in a low-scoring (87-81) contest, averaged a 6.9 rating and a 12 share. Ratings for the contest appear to have rebounded from last year's Cleveland vs. San Antonio series, with all three games up an average of 55 percent. Tonight's (Thursday) Game 4, which will see the Lakers try to even out the series is expected to draw an even larger audience. Earlier, a Jimmy Kimmel Live show and the NBA pregame show averaged a 5.4/10. They were beaten by a repeat of the CBS drama NCIS, which scored a 6.8/12.
