Jennifer Aniston was on Chelsea Lately last night, because Aniston just had to stop by her BFF?s cable show to promote Wanderlust. I have to give Aniston some credit here – even though I think her friendship with Chelsea Handler speaks volumes about her real Mean-Girl personality, Aniston gave a good interview last night. Her face moved, she was animated, she didn?t seem drunk or high, and she talked about nudity and dongs rather than self-help book wisdom. Chelsea on the other hand? is that what her face looks like nowadays? She can barely move her BotoxFace!! And she?s so in lurve with her BFF, it?s really gross and sycophantic:
The bulk of the interview is Chelsea?s personal testimonial for Wanderlust. Chelsea does a better job promoting Wanderlust than she did for her own film, This Means War, which is kind of funny, especially considering This Means War’s poor showing at the box office. The grossest line of the interview? ?I?ve been lucky enough to see you t-pless in our private life, but now America, when they go to see the movie, will get to see her topless running!? Oh, and Jennifer Aniston uses words like ?breasticles?. Seriously. She said, ?There’s a lot of penises in this movie! Finally, for once, the men have to disrobe! Trust me, there is your fair share of breasticles as well … It?s definitely … penises are promised.? Oh, Jen. It?s like she?s a 15-year-old boy.

It’s hard to believe that this story even has a reason to exist, but when Chelsea Handler appeared on Rosie O’Donnell’s talk show on the Oprah Winfrey Network, their mutual histories of offensive talk collided in grand fashion on the subject of little people.
In retrospect, I guess we shouldn’t be shocked by Chelsea’s insensitivity on any subject. Just in the recent past, she’s been called out by GLAAD for mocking Chaz Bono. Chelsea has recently attempted to take an anti-bullying stance even though she’s one of the biggest bullies out there. Rosie’s record isn’t much better after parodying the Chinese language with a “Ching Chong” rant and then issuing an obligatory (half-assed) apology but only when pressured to do so. Rosie also took great joy in offending Southerners with her “mom in law impression,” which was okay to her because it’s only “comedy” and “What can u do? I come in peace.” Of course, we all know that Rosie would demand much more from anyone who would dare to do an impression of an angry lesbian (I’m not poking fun at lesbians but merely saying that Rosie is often angry and is also a lesbian) or someone who drinks too much, right? No one is allowed to mock Rosie or her pet causes, but she thinks it’s okay for her to make fun of other groups in the name of “comedy.”
Well, Chelsea and Rosie’s discussion about little people wasn’t funny at all, and the Little People of America are opening the topic up for discussion. Here’s the lowdown:
Rosie O’Donnell’s recent interview with Chelsea Handler on her Oprah Winfrey Network talk show is causing big problems for both performers with America’s little people.
One segment of the interview, which took place on “The Rosie Show,” had the two talk show hosts discussing their differing opinions of people with short stature. Basically, Handler loves them while O’Donnell is afraid of them.
“I’m a little ashamed about it [but] I have a mild fear or anxiety around little people,” O’Donnell confessed before asking Handler point blank: “Would you ever do a little person?”
Handler’s quick response: “No, that would be child abuse. I’d never do that.”
“That’s half my issue,” O’Donnell said. “The problem with me is I can’t put the two things together. This is an adult person, a little person … it’s so hard for me.”
Handler takes the opposite view.
“I love little people,” she said. “I want to tackle them. I see them and I want to hold myself down. I bite Chuy [Bravo] sometimes. … He’s so cute and that’s my ultimate body. If you’re going to have a little person, I want that shape, the corpulence.”
Both Handler and O’Donnell’s comments are a big issue for Little People of America, a support group for Americans of short stature due to dwarfism.
Spokeswoman Leah Smith says both viewpoints are equally offensive, but in different ways, so the group has taken the steps of sending separate open letters to Handler and O’Donnell to make their concerns known.
“We decided to separate the two because they are both equally offensive, but separate,” Smith told HuffPost Weird News. “Handler used a lot of ‘pity rhetoric’ when discussing Chuy, saying he couldn’t get a job if not for her.
“For the record, we’re not in need of ‘getting saved.’ We are capable of being successful in any job.”
Although Handler often asks Bravo to do things like dress up in baby clothes, he has publicly said he has no problems with that, saying it’s part of the job. For that reason, Smith said the LPA has no problems with him choosing to take the job.
LPA has a bigger problem with O’Donnell’s comments, because she attributes her feelings to heredity.”My Nana was afraid of the ‘Wizard Of Oz’ munchkins,” she told Handler.
Smith says the comedian is perpetuating “fear-based attitudes.” “Instead of pepetuating these fears, let’s learn how to accept differences,” Smith said.
The Huffington Post contacted representatives for both Handler and O’Donnell, but neither have responded the Little People of America’s comments.
Smith said the group is angry, but doesn’t plan a boycott of either performer.
“We’d rather start a discussion and deal with the issue head on,” she said. “No other group is marginalized like this.”
[From Huff Po]
I agree with the LPA’s statement that no other group is as alienated to such a point within the United States. Our society in general tiptoes around in the name of political correctness when it comes to race and gender, but little people are often treated as mere novelties throughout our culture and are even subjected to cruel practices such as dwarf tossing, which has only recently gathered attention because Peter Dinklage was willing to speak out against the practice.
As far as Chelsea and Rosie’s twin offensive statements of ignorance, I am sad to say that their joint insensitivity is not surprising at all. I’d go into specifics of exactly why Chelsea’s statement that having sex with a little person would be like “child abuse” is an incredibly stupid and hurtful thing to say, but her words really speak for themselves. Rosie tries to explain away her perspective by admitting to being ashamed of her fear of little people, but she’s not fooling anyone away from her own prejudices. Both of these ladies (especially Rosie) are quick to point out only the injustices that matter to them, but they are all too willing to make insensitive and racist comments in the name of comedy. Of course, Oprah is allowing this nonsense to occur on her network, and she wonders why no one is watching.

Chelsea Handler went quiet when her boyfriend of about ten months, Andre Balzas, dumped her at the end of October. I wonder why? Is it because she simply didn?t have anything to promote over the last few months? Is it because she?s looking for the Next Guy who will help her career? Or is she trying to win Andre back? Well, Chelsea did speak to Us Weekly, and unlike many of the interviews she did last year, Chelsea doesn?t sound like she thinks she?s the second coming of Jon Stewart. She seems almost? humble? Professional? Not hammered and/or (allegedly) coked out of her skull? Is that right? Let it be spoken, today of all days: Chelsea Handler isn’t as think as you drunk she is.
She’s been linked to 50 cent and Animal Planet’s Dave Salmoni, but Chelsea Handler’s one true love will always be alcohol.
“Vodka is a part of my life. Absolutely. Tequila or vodka, depending on the day you get me,” Handler, 36, told Us Weekly at Saturday’s NBC Universal TCA Tour in Pasadena, Calif. “But to function as I do, I can?t be a mess.”
Though she once spent the night in jail for a DUI, Handler said she’s become more responsible when she decides to imbibe.
“I feel a big responsibility to not only everyone who watches the show, but to everyone who is on the show and all the employees I have,” the Chelsea Lately host and executive producer explained. “We’re creating jobs in a landscape where people aren’t getting a lot of work. Our show is a great place to be, and when you walk in the door, you know it.”
The Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea author added that “once everything’s done, smoke what you need to smoke — that’s fine. Do it in the office. I really don’t care.”
Despite her hectic schedule — she also stars on E!’s After Lately and NBC’s Are You There, Chelsea? — the New Jersey native assured Us she’s getting plenty of rest.
“I got a lot of sleep, don’t you worry. If I get home on a Monday at 7 o’clock and I know I don’t have to be anywhere until 10 the next morning, I go to bed at 8,” Handler said. “I take a sleeping pill and sleep for 12 hours.”
[From Us Weekly]
Why are we seeing this New Chelsea? Last year, she claimed that doing Chelsea Lately made her brain bleed, and she was looking to change jobs. Then Andre dumped her, Chelsea Lately got extended to 2014 and Chelsea went quiet in the press. Maybe someone got realistic? Maybe her supporting part in This Means War got sliced down and Chelsea realized her ?acting? career isn?t going to explode? Maybe we?re seeing The New Chelsea because it seems like NBC?s Are You There, Chelsea? is going to bomb. That comes on tomorrow, by the way. And people are already talking about how awful it is.

Well, well, well. How the worm has turned. Except not really. After bitching and moaning about her E! talk show, Chelsea Lately, for much of this year, Chelsea Handler has now signed on to continue doing the show until 2014. Remember, Chelsea only got her own show because she was screwing her boss - and she dumped him right after she signed her last contract. Well, her contract was up next year, and Chelsea had already been giving interviews saying that she didn?t want to keep doing the show - ?There?s only so much of this nonsense you can talk about before your brain starts to feel like it?s bleeding.? Chelsea fancies herself an actress, and an Anderson Cooper-style journalist who just happens to be stuck on basic cable, I guess. Here?s more:
Chelsea Handler has had a change of heart. The 36-year-old host and producer of E!’s late-night talk show Chelsea Lately has renewed her contract through 2014, Us Weekly can confirm.
“It’s a great time for women in comedy, and it’s a great time to have real breasts,” Handler tells Us in a statement.
Says E! president Suzanne Kolb: “Chelsea is an extraordinary talent whose smart, clever, no-holds-barred point of view has clearly been embraced by viewers. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Chelsea as we build on the success of Chelsea Lately.”
Handler will also develop and produce shows for E! and NBC Universal via her production company, Borderline Amazing Productions. Her semi-scripted E! Show, After Lately, returns for its second season on November 27.
Prior to Tuesday’s announcement, the comedienne and bestselling author — whose best friends include A-list stars like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon — had been vocal about her desire to leave the show when her initial contract expires in 2012.
“I want to do something that’s going to utilize my brain a little more than this show,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in June. “If Lately is the show that I’m going to do, it’s going to change. But it may turn out that I’m done with it altogether. I can’t keep doing the same thing; my brain is bleeding.”
“I want to do something that’s more mindful and isn’t celebrity-centered,” she said. “I’m not looking to totally bail on E! They’ve done a lot for me, and I like it here…if you take away the Kardashians.”
[From Us Weekly]
So what does this about-face mean? Does Chelsea figure that there?s still money to be made off of her rude, profoundly unfunny, racist persona? Does she have an expensive drug habit? Or is she going to spend the next three years ?transitioning? herself into a more mainstream talent? She?s already trying to do that, by the way. Her recent Glamour interview sounded strange, like she?s spent too much time in the Goddess Circle, reading self-help books. Plus, she?s got a movie role in This Means War, so now she?s an ?actress? too. Maybe she really is going to spend the next few years building up her career beyond Chelsea Lately. The problem might be that no one really cares about her beyond her drunk, rude persona?? I don?t know. I?m biased. I really dislike her, and I feel like it’s some kind of “The Emperor Has No Clothes” situation - no one wants to admit that she’s actually not funny at all. Plus, I just think it?s funny that E! is really the only place she fits and excels. She and the Kardashians are the same.
I still love these cameltoe photos, by the way.

These are some photos of Chelsea Handler ar last night?s Glamour Women of the Year Awards, held last night in NYC. Er? I?m not sure this cameltoe-enhancing catsuit was the best choice, you know? Her boobs look good, though. Chelsea went to the event alone - her NYC-based boyfriend, hotelier Andre Balazs wasn?t her date for the event. This caused Page Six to raise the Code Red: Single Lady - they claim that Andre and Chelsea broke up shortly after Halloween. They been dating for most of the year - the earliest reports about them began this past January. Here?s what Page Six is saying:
Funny girl Chelsea Handler and handsome hotelier Andr Balazs have split after nearly a year, sources have exclusively confirmed to Page Six.
The comedienne and host of E!?s ?Chelsea Lately,? who received a Glamour Women of the Year Award last night at Carnegie Hall, walked the red carpet without Balazs by her side.
?She?s fine,? a source told us. ?If she?s feeling down, she?s certainly not showing it.?
Handler and Balazs were together as recently as Halloween weekend, when she attended the ?Sinners or Saints?-themed bash at the Balazs-owned Top of the Standard hosted by Balazs, Nick Rhodes, Andr Saraiva and Thomas Hayo. Balzs and Handler arrived in costume as ?Duke and Lady von Glamoor-ass from the Weimar Republic.? Sources said the couple appeared very much together at the event, but broke up shortly after.
It was not immediately clear what provoked the split, but Handler tapes her show in LA while Balazs spends much of his time in New York. The two were first spotted together in January at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where they looked cozy at several parties.
Handler and Balazs continued their public displays of affection at the Super Bowl in Dallas, the White House Correspondents? Dinner in Washington, and at Handler?s signing in May of her fourth book, ?Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me,? at (where else?) the Top of the Standard.
Glamour this year named the talk-show host a ?Queen of the Night,? calling her ?the only woman to succeed as a late-night-comedy host, ever.? Jennifer Lopez, Tory Burch and artist Cindy Sherman were also honored.
Handler said of being named as an honoree: ?I think women see themselves in me . . . I?m making a fool out of myself for us. I?m happy to do it.?
A rep for Handler had no comment and Balazs? rep did not get back to us by press time.
[From Page Six]
I always found them to be a weird couple - Andre is pretty hot, he?s rich, and he?s a catch. Unfortunately, I also think Andre likes really trashy blondes - he was rumored to be dating Courtney Love just before this hookup with Chelsea. To go from C-Love to C-Handler? Is that a downgrade? Anyway, it doesn?t sound like Chelsea is too worked up over it. That?s one of the few things I like about her - she seems to do the dumping and she moves on really quickly.

Chelsea Handler and a “dude with gold shoes” were escorted out of a stall in the men’s room by the bouncer at the Frying Pan Bar last Monday.
Handler was there for a party for Standard Hotel employees on the restored boat in the Hudson River, docked north of Chelsea Piers, with her boyfriend Andre Balazs.
A spy said Handler started her night out with vodka on the rocks and was ?totally cool and unassuming.? But things apparently got wilder later in the evening. — Page Six
No word on what Handler was doing in the men’s room, coke or sex, but I assume it’s coke because you got to be high as hell to go into a stall with Chelsea Handler.

Radar Online has an interview with a woman who hung out with Chelsea Handler back when Chelsea was supposedly 21 or 22, which would have been 15 years ago according to how old Chelsea claims she is. The woman, Morgain McGovern, told stories about how Chelsea did a lot of drugs including Ecstasy and cocaine. She recounted a scene where Chelsea was hoovering up coke at a party, comparing her to a “blonde anteater.” McGovern admits that “I don’t know if [Chelsea is] still partying now.” (Although it’s safe to assume since Chelsea sure looks like it.) Then McGovern told a secondhand story about how a friend told her they saw Chelsea 2-3 years ago “by herself, drinking a bottle of vodka in her own private booth” in a club. Tell me something I don’t know that’s not part of the story Chelsea shills about herself constantly.
Here’s the story from Radar, and there’s a video at the source.
Chelsea Handler has made no secret of her penchant for alcohol, but a revealing on-camera interview with one of her former friends has lifted the lid on the depths of her destructive lifestyle.
Morgain McGovern gives a shocking look into the wild partying which she says almost killed her, in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com.
“I’ve done pharmaceutical grade ecstasy twice in my life and both times she was involved,” said McGovern, who was friends with the late night talk show host and comedian in 2003 and claims they did cocaine and ecstasy on a regular basis.
“I thought, I am going to die, I’m going to die if I hang out with these girls.”
McGovern — who eventually moved away and is now clean and sober — says she doesn’t know if Handler, 36, is still doing drugs, but believes she is still drinking heavily.
“Someone should have staged an intervention,” she said. “Every time we went out, drugs were involved.”
McGovern is currently penning a book, The Traveling Roadshow Of The Countess Maritsa, about her life as the daughter of a con artist mother.

I really dislike Chelsea, I find her unfunny and rude. Normally I would be amused by stories like this. It’s lame though to dish on things people did in their early twenties. (Or probably late 20s in Chelsea’s case. Still it was over ten years ago.) If any of my partying buddies from college decided to spread crap about me I’m sure they’d have crazy stories about stuff I barely remember. (Not that I was as bad as this person claims Chelsea was, but still.) This is just a woman trying to capitalize on an acquaintance with someone famous. Surprise - she’s writing a book and probably doesn’t have any publishers or literary agents interested so she’s doing it this way. This is probably the most interesting story she has.
Chelsea is shown on 7/7/11. Credit: WENN.com

Anti-Serb comments start around 1:20 in
Remember back to last week when Amy Winehouse was a drunken mumbling mess on stage in Belgrade, when we later learned that she had to be pushed on stage to perform? She canceled her whole European tour after that, and rumor had it that she will not be performing again for years. Well after mocking Amy Winehouse for not being able to do her job, and making fun of people for paying and expecting Amy to sing, Chelsea Handler said several nasty things about Serbia, as if it was the whole country’s fault that they had the bad luck to host Amy’s first concert. She was typically rude about it too, and it was uncalled for. Chelsea said “I can’t believe they even allow Serbians to go to concerts. I didn’t even know that was going on over there.”
One of the panel members, Greg Proops, then chimed in while another one laughed uncontrollably. “They’re calling it a disaster in Serbia. This is a place they’ve had ethnic cleansing and genocide. Her concert was a bigger bummer than that… after Serbia where was she going, like Khazakastan [sic] or something?.” Proops has since apologized through Twitter.
Other jokes were made that weren’t as offensive or targeted to Serbia, and then Chelsea made it worse. “The Serbian defense minister… said on his facebook page. ‘Amy’s concert was a shame and a huge disappointment.’ Well so is your country.”
Well now Serbian groups are calling for a boycott of Chelsea, E! and all the advertisers for Chelsea’s show.
On Monday’s episode of her E! late-night series “Chelsea Lately,” Handler made jokes about Serbians in a segment

Chelsea Handler covers the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter, and it?s a decent read even if you can?t stand the woman (like me). Much of it is journalistic fellatio - lots of numbers and quotes about why Chelsea is the greatest, most successful, most amazing woman working in comedy today. Which, if that?s true, I feel really sorry for Comedy. The bulk of the piece is a lot of inside-the-industry stuff about what Chelsea?s next steps in Hollywood are going to be. She talks a lot about how she?s burnt out on doing the celebrity gossip stuff, and how she wants to start covering more significant subjects, like a newswoman, I guess. She also has more to say in the aftermath of her recent comments about the abortion she had when she was 16 (go here to read the previous interview). Here is the full Hollywood Reporter piece, and here are some highlights from the piece:
On power: “I have final say in everything I’m a part of, whether it’s Chelsea Lately or my books and my stand-up,” says Handler. “That [kind of power] doesn’t happen a lot. And I didn’t know it didn’t happen until it happened to me and I realized I was the only one.”
Interesting story with a cut on Ellen DeGeneres: After a last-minute cancellation on Ellen, [Victoria?s Secret] is looking to book three of its models (led by Adriana Lima) on that afternoon’s taping of Lately to promote its new Miraculous Push-Up swimwear line. “What would they do?” Handler snipes. “Sit next to [3-foot-7 sidekick] Chuy in bathing suits? Adriana Lima is a pretty big-time model. Wouldn’t that be a little embarrassing?” None of the three or so employees around her says anything as they await her decision. After taking a few moments to mull it over, Handler dismisses the idea with a wave of her hand. “Tell them it’s too late,” she says tersely. “I don’t really need Ellen’s scraps.” Another hint of a smile creeps across her lips.
On her previous comments about abortion: In late May, Handler told a reporter from The New York Times that she had had an abortion when she was 16. “I’m pretty candid,” she explains a few days later. “I’m not interested in hearing celebrities lie about stuff like that. I’m not proud of having an abortion, its just part of the fabric of my life. There’s no reason to hide it.”
Her contract is up with E! in 2010: The comedian’s future with both E! and her Lately mothership, whose bread and butter remains the celeb-fueled gossip Handler admits she has grown to deplore, remains far from clear. “We’ll see how it goes and if it works out for me to stick around here,” Handler says, without a trace of emotion. “It’s a lengthy process. They tell you you’re valuable, and then you get a counter and you think, ‘I guess you really don’t care about me at all.’ Nothing is set in stone, so if things go south, then obviously I’ll be moving along, I talked with [E!?s head of programming] Bonnie about how I see myself growing as a producer and a performer. I’m not one to plan ahead, but I don’t want to be doing the same thing for five more years. The next step for me is not The Tonight Show. That’s a job for Jimmy Fallon. I’m way too divisive for a show like that.?
She wants more than celebrity gossip: “I want to do something that’s going to utilize my brain a little more than this show,” she says. “If Lately is the show that I’m going to do, it’s going to change. But it may turn out that I’m done with it altogether. I can’t keep doing the same thing; my brain is bleeding. I want to do something that’s more mindful and isn’t celebrity-centered. I’m not looking to totally bail on E! They’ve done a lot for me, and I like it here.” Beat. “If you take away the Kardashians. I want to do something people aren’t expecting from me? I want to educate people and deliver news that isn’t just surrounded by Charlie Sheen. I’d like to be able to do the serious stuff in conjunction with the comedy. I’d like to make an impact and have more responsibility than I do now.”
Chelsea?s comedic double-standard: “I only have talked about people that I think are acting irresponsibly or are making fools of themselves,” she says, putting her face in front of her dog Chunk and receiving a lick on the nose. “There’s no reason to talk about Reese Witherspoon. I’ve never talked about those people and anyone I’ve become friends with. I’m not going to be friends with them if they’re idiots in the first place.” And in her mind, she knows who the idiots are and the distance she wants to keep from them. “Jennifer [Aniston] said she saw the Kardashians at dinner last night,” Handler says. “She was like, ‘They’re nice.’ And I said: ‘Don’t get photographed with the Kardashians!’ People will blame me for it!”
Coming to LA: “I wanted to be famous. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I came out to L.A. thinking it would happen in no time,” Handler says with a snort. “I thought, ‘Once they see me, they’ll be so glad I came.’ I always had a ridiculous amount of self-confidence about what was going to happen to me.”
On insecurity: “When I was starting out and I didn’t have my own show, yes, I was insecure,” Handler explains. “But no, I’m not insecure now. Once you’ve achieved success and you’re making decisions that are working, I don’t understand why anyone would be second-guessing themselves.”
On Joan Rivers: What Handler’s future holds is anyone’s guess. She avoids comparisons to other female comedians, even Joan Rivers, who long ago also was criticized for raunchy humor and rough treatment of celebrities. When asked her thoughts about the Rivers documentary A Piece of Work, Handler says, “I thought, ‘I hope I’m not doing stand-up at that age.’ ”
She talks about selling out: So what will it be? She makes it clear, whatever she does, she will do it her way. “I have really strong opinions; I’ll never sell out,” Handler says. “I’m not going to wake up one day and have a perfume. That’s never going to happen.” She adds, “It would smell like rubbing alcohol.”
[From The Hollywood Reporter]
On one side, I respect her honesty about how burnt out she is on celebrity gossip and how silly and dumb her job can be. I get it, I really do. But it also feels like she?s being an ingrate too - there are lots of female comedians (and male comedians) who would love to be making the money she?s making, and, you know, those comedians are WAY more talented. Don?t look a gift “horse” in the mouth. At some point, people are either going to get tired of her or she?ll try something new and fail miserably. Then she?ll wish she could go back to screwing a married cable-channel boss for a five year contract.
Also, did you notice the hypocrisy of ?I only have talked about people that I think are acting irresponsibly or are making fools of themselves?? Really, Chelsea? Because you used to treat every celebrity the same, that everyone was up for grabs, everyone could be made fun of. Now that she?s hooked into CAA and Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, Chelsea IS playing it safe, to a certain extent. Some celebrities get treated with kid gloves. Some don?t. The ones that don?t aren?t hooked into CAA. She?s playing the same game everyone else is playing, the only difference is that she?s pretending to be some truth-telling, ballsy provocateur when she?s just the same old hack.
