This comes from an interview that was published almost exactly a year ago on the CBS site. Sarah goes into a little more detail than we've heard before about her first pieing -- the one that led to marriage, as she describes it, however jokingly. She also mentions a (presumably passing) interest in attending clown school. And at the very end, we also get a glimpse of another very specific and slapstick-y (but non-messy) fantasy of Sarah's that I don't think she's discussed before.

If you are short on time or really only care about pies, then skip to the third to last question.


Watch!: What do you do when you're not working?
Shahi: I'm married and have a 5-year-old, and that right there keeps me pretty busy. We own some property in this place called Comanche, Texas, so we went camping out there, our first time as a family. Then we went to Mexico for a friend's birthday. And next weekend we're going camping with my son's entire preschool class. We've already talked about starting a rehab center for the parents because there's going to be a lot more booze than apple juice. In general, I try to do something different each hiatus from shooting the show. And this year I think I'm going to take up, um, pole dancing classes.

Watch!: Interesting.
Shahi: In case acting doesn't work out. [Laughs.] No, I've played a stripper in a couple of films, and it's actually very hard and an incredible workout. So that's one motivation. And I like to keep my husband happy, and there's my second motivation. Lately I've been obsessed with the Rihanna Pour It Up video. It's so funny because my husband has no fear of me leaving him for any guy but he's like, Please don't leave me for a girl. Not that I ever would!

Watch!: What did he say when you told him you're learning pole dancing for him?
Shahi:About time!

Watch!: Wow.
Shahi: Well, I'm constantly like, Maybe I'll go to clown school. ... Maybe I want to take a magic class. There's always something, and I've toyed around with pole dancing for so long that I think he's excited it's actually going to come to fruition. It's really going to happen; we're going to get a pole.

Watch!: Is it true your husband once threw a pie in your face to impress you?
Shahi: One of my fantasies when I was younger was that I would marry the guy who threw a pie in my face. Guys would always ask, What are your fantasies? They'd say something naughty and I'd say, I want to have a pie thrown in my face. [Laughs.] Guys would send them to me, or they'd buy me a slice, but no one actually threw the pie in my face. Then, on my 26th birthday, we had this huge party at my house and I rounded a corner in our kitchen and my husbandboyfriend at the timejust went SPLAT. In front of everybody! I looked at him and said, Oh, my Goddo you know what you just did?! You know what this means. You have to marry me. There's no way out of this.

Watch!:Any other weird fantasies we should know about?
Shahi: Well, it's changed a little bit. I still love having pies thrown in my face, and it's happened a few times. But I have another fantasy where I'm dressed up in this full-on gorilla costume and I'm with somebody else who's also dressed up in a gorilla costume, and we just go walking down Hollywood Boulevard togetherholding hands, eating, shopping and that's it. My husband thinks that's weird. I think it's cool. It's almost like you're spying.

Watch!: How do we know you haven't already done it yet?
Shahi: I'm going to tell you, I haven't done it yet. Yet. So if you see a gorilla on Hollywood Boulevard, it's probably me!

Methinks she may also be a "furry", or "hairy" in the case of a gorilla costume fantasy...gotta love Ms. Shahi for her openness about her fantasies!

Wow! .... Just, WOW! I LOVE this lady! :lovestruck:


Yes. We here at the UMD have carefully documented every known time!

Great interview! Thanks for posting it, Piero!

How can she have went through so many "boyfriends" who weren't willing to pie her? Dude, if a chick came up to me and say it's her fantasy to get pied, I'll get something arranged ASAP.

Anyone else noticed that there are quite a few people on this forums that also seem to be furries? The two don't seem related at all, but I know there's several out there.

Good for Sarah if she really is a WAMmer... She's certainly the only famous female I can recall who's been public about it.

And what actually lends credence to her claim is what makes her frustrating: Namely, that if getting pied IS a turn-on for her, it makes sense that she doesn't really want to get pied publicly. So sadly, this might be a case where a very attractive, very famous female is getting messy consistently... And we're never gonna see any of it.

Yes, I KNOW that one Noise!

Just saying, I guarantee a woman who "loves to be pied" (her words) has more than one pie-in-the-face in her history....

I just have to point out, as I did in last week's Sarah Shahi thread, that she is married to one of the stupidest asshats in Hollywood. (Just Google it.)

I think that we, as a community, have to do something about this gross injustice.

I propose that we trawl the forum, select our studliest, most likable male member, and send him on a stealth mission to sire Sarah away from that oafish knob, so that she can enjoy happy wam sex with a non-birther-dipshit, and the rest of us can live vicariously through their relationship, knowing that at, if it's not us, at least some other deserving wammer is pieing Sarah Shahi's brains out right this minute.

Sorry, man. They offered me the role on Shameless but I thought the writing was suspect. Shows what I know.

Well, THANKS, Regis, but I'm married!

Btw, I googled "Stupidest Asshats in Hollywood", and yep, there he was!

John Wells, man. Most underrated showrunner in Hollywood. Should've known better. Who knows though, maybe they need somebody new for Joan Cusack to use that dildo on next season....

Why is it no surprise that of all the people on this forum, the one guy who is frustrated by Sarah Shahi's love of getting pied is Rich? Everyone else who has commented seems to be able to savor the idea of a gorgeous woman who gets a genuine kick out of being pied, even if we ourselves are never going to get to see it happen again (even Regis, despite his justifiable beef with Sarah's dickfaced husband, dreams of a better day when we can "live vicariously ... knowing that some deserving wammer is pieing Sarah Shahi's brains out right this minute."). But Rich has to spend most of his energy lamenting all the pieings Shahi may have taken that will never be publicly available on video.


Yes, of course she does. We have her verbal account of one pieing (the first, from her husband-to-be), we've got the Lopez video, and we've got aftermath pics from two different behind-the-scenes pieings since then. So that's four times.

But let's get a grip here... the last of these pieings happened in 2014, and Shahi Tweeted or Instagrammed a photo of the aftermath, saying it was the fourth time she'd been pied. So either she's not really getting pied nearly as often as so many here want to believe, or she's decided to keep completely quiet about the intimate pieings her asinine husband may or may not be dishing out to her behind closed doors.

Whether or not her love of pies in the face really is a "fetish" in the sexual sense, it's likely that, following her appearance on Lopez, Shahi's publicist advised her to shy away from the word "fetish" when discussing this issue publicly. And while the pies do come up in the interview above following shortly on the heels of her talking about pole dancing, don't forget that in between the pole dancing and the pies and gorilla suits come talk of attending clown school and magic class. We all know that clowns are a fetish for some (including a fair number of people here), but magic class?

I think the line between "fun fantasies" and "sexual fantasies" is probably more blurry for Shahi than many folks (although probably not as blurry as it is for devoted comedy-oriented wammers, or true "furries" for that matter), but I'm really not convinced that pies in the face are a seriously sexual thing for her. I think she's more generally into the idea of comedic, mildly transgressive behavior, and she really likes the idea of a partner who will participate in that with her. In the above interview, it sounds to me like she's now more excited about the idea of the gorilla suit thing than getting pied, probably simply because it's a new comedic stunt that she hasn't done yet.
