Sarah Silverman is planning to have more Sex.

The funny lady told me yesterday that she will be returning to Masters of Sex next season. She made her Masters debut earlier this month when she played Betty's ex-girlfriend Helen for two episodes

"I'll be back next season to finish the story up—if I'm allowed," Silverman told me on the Emmys red carpet before taking home the award for writing for a variety special, Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles.

If she's allowed? I mean, she has been dating Masters star Michael Sheen since February after meeting at his 45th birthday party in West Hollywood.

"I'm [bleeping] the star of the show," she said, before planting tongue firmly in cheek to crack, "No, I got my job from auditioning."

LOL.

Silverman raised eyebrows when she revealed on E! yesterday that she was carrying a vaporizer pen filled with "liquid pot" in her clutch to the Emmys.

She told reporters backstage after winning her award, "I had pot for later in my purse. It's legal and I don't drink. I like to have a puff as a treat at appropriate times."

As for her green Marni gown with the plunging neckline, Silverman told me she likes getting glam, "as a treat, as a sometimes treat."

She cracked again, "I just felt a bead of sweat go down my ass crack."

End scene.
