CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG

“And how about people who don’t know their babies are asshole babies? Everybody thinks their babies are the best babies in the world but your baby just hit me, he’s an asshole. That’s not cute.” And that’s Chelsea Handler. From babies to Angelina Jolie, she will go there, tear it up and say the things that everyone’s thinking anyway. She’s like a blonde bombshell version of Rickey Gervais with her own late night talk show, Chelsea Lately on E! Cable Television Network . She keeps pampered Hollywood celebrities on their toes with her acerbic sense of humour and yet is a part of the American celebrity culture herself.  You could say Handler is having her cake and eating it to. And why shouldn’t she? Looking like a heyday Pamela Anderson and talking like a sailor; Chelsea Handler is waving the female comedian flag loud and proud. Her first show has already sold out and her newly added second is selling fast so get in there quick! (KS)
