  • Chelsea Handler Gives Hallucinogenic Drink Ayahuasca a Try For Her Netflix Docuseries

    Chelsea Handler gave the hallucinogenic drink Ayahuasca a try for her upcoming Netflix docuseries Chelsea Does.

    Handler said she tried the controversial beverage as an educational demonstration for her docuseries which will premiere Saturday on Netflix.

    “It’s supposed to be like this spiritually awakening drug, transformative, transcendent in certain ways,” she told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show earlier this week. “I want to show people what happens when you get f–ked up.”

    Ayahuasca is a controversial beverage that is considered a spiritual medicine among the indigenous people of Peru.

    In a clip from the series, Handler, 40, travels to Peru to try the drink, which is said to give users an out-of-body experience. After sipping meekly on the tea, she promptly throws up into a bucket on-camera.

    “We went down to Peru and we did it,” she told Fallon. “You vomit out of your mouth and out of … And Netflix paid for it, thank you guys.”

    Chandler told Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday that she did experience visions during her experiment.

    “I had all these beautiful imageries of my childhood and me and my sister laughing on a kayak, and all these beautiful things with me and my sister,” she said. “So [my experience] was very much about opening my mind to loving my sister, and not being so hard on her.”

    According to Us Weekly, Handler will also discuss topics like racism, marriage and Silicon Valley on the series.

    Chelsea Handler left her late night talk show, Chelsea Lately, in 2014. She is also set to host a new talk show set to premiere in May on Netflix.

  • Chelsea Handler Announces January Release of “Chelsea Does”

    Chelsea Handler Announces January Release of “Chelsea Does”

    Chelsea Handler announced the January release of her upcoming four-part Netflix docu-series called Chelsea Does. The former Chelsea Lately star shared the first short clip advertising the show. It reportedly shows off her “serious side.”

    Chelsea Handler will deal with serious subjects in Chelsea Does. She will talk marriage, drugs, racism, and Silicon Valley.

    This docu-series marks the second part of the Netflix deal with Chelsea Handler. The first part of the deal involved the airing of her hour-long comedy show on October 10th, that was part of her “Uganda Be Kidding Me” tour. The show was taped in June.

    Chelsea Handler fans are no doubt thrilled that the comic will find her way back into their living rooms after the New Year. A specific date for the four-part series has not yet been announced.

  • Chelsea Handler Covers Lady Bits With Fruit in Latest Attempt to Defy Instagram Rules

    Chelsea Handler has been quite outspoken about her dislike of Instagram’s “no topless” photo rule, and she has done her best to get around it while still baring lots of her body. This time she is testing the waters again. Her breasts are covered in a black bra, but her more private parts are barely covered–by an apple.

    In her caption, the comedienne and actress–known for her raunchy mouth–insists the focus of the photo is her messy hair.

    “Look at my hair. Something must have happened while I slumbered,” Chelsea Handler captioned the rather questionable photo.

    It’s beyond clear that Chelsea Handler has no sense of modesty. Check out this shot of the former Chelsea Lately star in the bathtub.

    “I’m in a detox bath that my makeup artist gave me which may or may not cause diarrhea. Tune in Tokyo,” she captioned it.

    In this one, Chelsea Handler covered her parts. However, it begs the question of who is in her bathroom taking photos of her? Does a photographer capture every private bathroom moment?

    Who can forget this Esquire cover?

    I finally got naked for a professional reason. I don't know why Khloe and Kim had to steal my ass.

    And then, of course, there is a locker room shot. Chelsea Handler barely eeks by in this one with Instagram’s no topless rule.

    What’s your take on Chelsea Handler’s latest photo? Is the act of covering her lady bits with an apple a bit over the top or simply par for the course for this daring comedienne?

    Is Chelsea Handler trying to get a rise out of Instagram or just having fun showing off her body?

  • Chelsea Handler Talks New Talk Show And Funny Women

    Chelsea Handler Talks New Talk Show And Funny Women

    Chelsea Handler may not be doing Chelsea Lately anymore, but after an ugly end to the show last summer, she says she is so ready to move on.

    Known for her blunt and truthful opinions on current events and issues, Chelsea Handler just had to have a talk show somewhere.

    Chelsea Lately had an immense following and a great fan base which will now be able to see her on Netflix.

    At the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour on Tuesday, Chelsea Handler admitted that she had to start somewhere, saying she “had to get my brain working again” before her new stint on Netflix.

    But, Chelsea Handler took the high road and didn’t criticize her former network.

    My family.

    A photo posted by Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) on

    She said, “I’ve said enough … I don’t think anyone else needs to hear me bitch about E!.”

    In fact the only mention Chelsea Handler made of the incident was a quick reference to a character flaw that helped do her show in. She said, “That’s the good thing about me — I’m always telling the truth.”

    Suck suck goose.

    A photo posted by Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) on

    That is no lie. Chelsea Handler has never been afraid to tell it like she sees it. Or show her boobs. Or her naked bum.

    And, Chelsea Handler is definitely not afraid of any criticism of herself or any other woman.

    In response to a comment made by Michael Eisner that it is “impossible to find” a woman that is both pretty and funny, she didn’t mince words.

    Chelsea Handler said of Eisner’s comment, “It’s just a really stupid thing to say. What, as soon as your pretty, your funny genes get taken away? It’s just such a stupid notion.”

    Chunk and I are getting ready to watch the east coast feed of #LeahTLC. New season for my big mama.

    She added, “I think men a lot of times like to celebrate less attractive women who are funny. Pretty girls come along and they’re a little more threatened.”

    Are you excited to see what Chelsea Handler will do with her new show?

  • Chelsea Handler Shares Nudity Via Instagram–Again

    Chelsea Handler is no stranger to nudity–sharing it, that is. She has bared her breasts for Instagram photos on more than one occasion. This time, however, she opted to share her other end–baring her butt for the camera instead.

    This past Monday the former Chelsea Lately star was working out at the barre, with her faithful canine companion Chunk by her side.

    It’s a bit uncertain as to whom she enlisted to take the photo of woman’s best friend along with her naked butt.

    “Kicking off Chunk’s work week,” Chelsea Handler captioned her photo.

    Chelsea Handler shared this photo in direct defiance of Instagram’s new policy regarding nudity.

    “We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don’t allow nudity on Instagram. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. It also includes some photos of female nipples, but photos of post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding are allowed. Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too.”

    Last month Chelsea Handler shared her naked bottom on the cover of Esquire magazine, alongside Nick Offerman.

    Some people simply don’t mind baring their more private parts in front of very large audiences, and Chelsea Handler is very clearly one of those people.

    Do you think you could share your bare butt with the world the way she has done on both Instagram and the cover of Esquire magazine?

    How long do you suppose it will be before some other naked part of Chelsea Handler appears via social media or in print?

    And how long do you expect it might be before Instagram bans Chelsea Handler for good?

  • Chelsea Handler: What Did Bill Cosby Do to Her A Decade Ago?

    Chelsea Handler made news on Wednesday, and this time it didn’t involve any public nudity. This time the comedian brought up a very serious subject–one that people all around the country have found disturbing for many months now. It was during an interview with Esquire magazine that Handler shared the disconcerting news.

    According to Chelsea Handler, she had a very uncomfortable experience with Bill Cosby about 10 years ago.

    “He tried to Cosby me,” the Chelsea Lately star told the publication.

    “Oh, I was in Atlantic City playing, doing stand-up, and he was doing stand-up in Atlantic City in the same hotel, and at like three o’clock in the afternoon, someone from the hotel came down and said, ‘Oh, you know, Mr. Cosby would really like to meet you up in his hotel suite.’ And I thought, ‘That’s really weird.’ This was like 10 years ago. And I said, ‘That’s really weird. I don’t want to go alone.’ I go, ‘I don’t know him.’”

    “So the three guys I was with–thank God these guys were with me. One was filming and one was like a producer; we were filming something–I brought them up with me to his room and thank God I did, because now I know what would’ve happened if I went up there alone. And I forgot about it when all the stories about Bill Cosby came out. I was like, I didn’t even think of it. Then my friend texted me the other day saying, ‘Do you remember that night we went up to, or that afternoon we went up to Bill Cosby’s and you were so freaked out you made us come with you?’ And I said, ‘Yeah,’ and he said, ‘Hello! You could’ve been one of his victims if we weren’t there.’ And I went, ‘Oh my gosh . . .’ Yeah, so yeah, he’s guilty … I think it’s pretty obvious now,” Chelsea Handler explained.

    More than 20 women thus far have come forward, saying the former star of The Cosby Show drugged or raped them–or in some cases, both.

    What do you make of the statement Chelsea Handler has just made about Bill Cosby, however? Is that the kind of thing you’d expect someone to forget–especially in light of all the recent controversy surrounding the comedian?

    Of course Chelsea Handler was one of the lucky ones. She was only invited to Bill Cosby’s room. She didn’t wind up–thankfully–in a position that was forever engrained in her mind.

    Fortunately Bill Cosby didn’t do anything to Chelsea Handler. But what do you expect will become of all the women who claim he did something to them? Will they ever see their day in court?

  • Chelsea Handler Disses Her Old Show Now That She’s Signed To Netflix

    Chelsea Handler Disses Her Old Show Now That She’s Signed To Netflix

    Chelsea Handler is moving on to bigger and better things. Last fall, she released a stand-up special called Uganda Be Kidding Me and she is now starting work on a new show for Netflix, who recently branched out to original programming following the success of Orange is The New Black and House of Cards. Handler spoke at the Code/Media conference in California on February 18 and she can’t help but gush about her new relationship with Netflix as well as her disappointment about her previous gig as host of Chelsea Lately for seven years.

    “The subject matter I was dealing with on E!, you know, it was a fun way to get started and kind of have a great time,” she said about Chelsea Lately which ran until last year. “And then after a while, I just was like, I’m so much smarter than that show was, and I wanted to be doing a show that was smarter than I was.”

    While Handler and Netflix are still working out the details of her new show, Handler is clearly excited about the collaboration. “It’s nice to be involved in a show where I do respect their opinions,” she said. “I respect Netflix. So it’s like going out with a guy that you’re proud to be seen with.”

    One of the reasons why Handler chose Netflix is because she believes they offer more creative control when it comes to their programming. According to Handler, “Network TV is so limited. There are so many parameters. I don’t want to be plugged into something and do a job someone else did for 10 years. I want to create my own job.”

    Handler hopes that her new show will move on from the celebrity gossip of Chelsea Lately to more substantial subject matter including international politics and human interest stories. To quote Handler, “the kind of well-roundedness of 60 minutes but faster, quicker, cooler”.

  • Chelsea Handler Flashes Bare Breasts in Mardi Gras Tweet

    Chelsea Handler has a real problem keeping her breasts under cover, and this was proven most recently at Mardi Gras. The former Chelsea Lately star has flashed her bare breasts on a ski slope and has shared them in a shower scene film clip. Now she has exposed them yet again on the streets of New Orleans.

    On Monday evening, Chelsea Handler and two of her friends strolled the NOLA streets wearing masks and beads. Handler wore nothing to cover her breasts.

    She no doubt believes she was sharing a very special gift with those nearby.

    Notice the caption of her tweet.

    Chelsea Handler has had nude photos removed from Instagram before, and thus has relied on Twitter’s more liberal policy regarding nudity instead. This notion wasn’t lost in another tweet she shared of a fellow Marid Gras fan whose breasts were also exposed on the streets of New Orleans.

    Last week Chelsea Handler sort of thanked Twitter for its liberal stance. She did so, of course, by tweeting her bare breasts yet again.

    One might say that Chelsea Handler is obsessed with breasts–hers, other people’s, etc. Why does she assume that everyone else wants to see them, too?

    What’s your take on Chelsea Handler and what many people would consider a total lack of modesty?

  • Chelsea Handler Ditches Instagram, Heads to Twitter With Topless Photo

    Chelsea Handler slammed Instagram on Friday after they removed a topless photo of the sometimes controversial comedienne and actress from its site. In the topless shot, Handler is looking for her dog Chunk.

    This definitely isn’t the first time something Chelsea Handler posted has been removed from Instagram either. It was back in October when she posted a spoof of Vladimir Putin. In that photo she was riding a horse topless the same as he was in another photo.

    At the time she said, “Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to prove I have a better body than Putin. If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it’s ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?”

    Chelsea Handler hasn’t, however, removed her Instagram account, meaning that fans–and Instagram–may in fact once again find the former Chelsea Lately star in yet another state of undress.

    She has, however, made mention on the social networking site that her private parts are still on display–on Twitter.

    “You can now find my dogs and my breasts on Twitter only where my followers have the right to choose what they say. Bye bye instablock.”

    She wasn’t kidding either.

    How long do you suppose it might be before Chelsea Handler tries to post something else that Instagram deems controversial? Might she go full frontal the next time around?

  • Chelsea Handler, Ellen DeGeneres Talk Logistics of Nude Shower Scene

    Chelsea Handler and Ellen DeGeneres had an opportunity to chat on Ellen’s show earlier this week, and the topic of Chelsea’s nude shower scene arose. It was the first time the two funny ladies discussed the logistics of the scene that marked the final episode of Chelsea Lately. Handler ribbed DeGeneres, saying she was supposed to have been nude for the shower scene as well.

    “No, never. I was never ever going to be nude. There was never an agreement of me being nude ever. Never. In your head, I was nude,” Ellen DeGeneres said.

    The banter between the two became instantly hilarious.

    “The hard part for me is, I mean, you don’t know what it must feel like to be in a shower with someone that you respect and you admire and you have clothes on and I don’t,” Chelsea Handler said with a completely straight face. “That was a very low point in my life.”

    “It was quite something to be standing there with someone that I also admire and like very much and… you don’t even care. You’re just naked. And then at one point she decided to bounce, like to jump up and down and bounce over and over again, which was very difficult to get through that scene,” Ellen said.

    Both Handler and DeGeneres admitted they had a hard time shooting the entire nude shower scene because they kept laughing during the takes.

    “I think it’s very empowering for me,” Chelsea Handler admitted. “I like to be naked because I don’t take my body seriously. I know people do and that’s nice for them. But I think bodies are so silly — you’re so vain in this business — myself included. First of all, these [my breasts] are the best thing I have going on on my body so I like to take them out whenever I can and say, ‘Hey, look, pretend this is my whole face.’”

    She also added it’s quite unlikely she’ll ever be a hacking victim because nude shots of her are easy to find.

    “I thought if somebody goes through my phone it’s going to be a disaster,” she said. “So then I just started sending more [naked pictures] out [on social media]. I’m like, I’ll hack myself, let’s get it out there! Nobody’s ever going to make money on a naked picture of me because I’d sell it to you for free.”

    Did you catch Chelsea Handler and Ellen DeGeneres in the nude shower scene on the last episode of Chelsea Lately? You have to view it in order to get why everything they said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier this week is so funny. And if you’ve already seen it, you’ll crack up again when you watch it now.

    Chelsea Handler remained fully clothed throughout her time on Ellen’s show–although her black bra showed through her sheer top. Was she hoping to coax Ellen into that nude shower scene one more time?

  • Chelsea Handler: “Bodies Are So Silly”

    Chelsea Handler: “Bodies Are So Silly”

    Chelsea Handler recently stopped by Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, to discuss their famous shower scene on Handler’s late night show Chelsea Lately.

    During the finale of Chelsea Lately, one of the highlights of the show was when Ellen walked into the shower with Handler, who was totally nude. They proceeded to have a very comedic conversation while Handler took a shower.

    This isn’t the only time that Handler has been seen in the buff, and Ellen wanted to know why she enjoys being naked so much. Handler isn’t like all of the other women in show business.

    “I think it’s very empowering for me. I like to be naked because I don’t take my body seriously,” Handler told DeGeneres. “I know people do and that’s nice for them, but I think bodies are so silly.”

    Handler said she doesn’t care if she has the perfect body, and isn’t afraid to show it off … especially her breasts, which she describes as her best feature.

    “I like to take them out whenever I can, and be like, ‘Hey look! Pretend this is my whole face!’” Handler said jokingly.

    Recently, several A-list celebrities were targeted in an online hacking scandal. Nude pictures of celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton were floating around social media. Handler admitted that she had no fear of being hacked.

    “Nobody is even going to make money from a naked picture of me because I’ll sell it to you for free,” she said.

  • Chelsea Handler Naked, Confronted by Ellen DeGeneres

    Chelsea Handler was butt naked when confronted in a shower by Ellen DeGeneres. Of course the whole thing was staged and filmed, but the conversation between the two was a perfect example of very dry (even though the shower was wet) humor.

    On the series finale of Handler’s late night show, Chelsea Lately, the clip involves Ellen asking Chelsea Hander why she was never once invited to be a guest on her show. Chelsea does her best to convince Ellen that she, too, is a lesbian, and that she has been ‘binge-watching’ Ellen’s 1990s sitcom. DeGeneres questions her method of ‘binge-watching’ when Chelsea admits she’s only up to season two.

    Ellen’s hug with Chuy Bravo at the end of the clip is beyond priceless.

    Of course Chelsea Handler’s nude shower confrontation with Ellen DeGeneres didn’t mark the first time she was nude in the shower with another celebrity. Check out this nude shower scene with Conan O’Brien.

    Lots of big name celebrities including Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne, Tim Gunn, Gerard Butler, Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus, and more serenaded Chelsea Handler in honor of your last episode.

    “Goodbye E!, it’s time to move on,” they sang. “She wants to sing, she wants to dance, and get her groove on.”

    Chelsea Handler captioned this Instagram shot, “It’s over!”

    It really isn’t over for fans, however. For those who think she’s worth the wait, Chelsea Handler will have a new talk show on Netflix starting in 2016.

  • Chelsea Handler Gives An Emotional Goodbye

    Chelsea Handler Gives An Emotional Goodbye

    Chelsea Handler, the American comedian known for her crazy antics and sarcasm, gave an emotional goodbye on the finale of her late-night show Chelsea Lately.

    Before addressing the camera, Handler and Ellen DeGeneres performed a hysterical shower scene and Miley Cyrus and 50 Cent performed.

    Then, Handler’s BFFs Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, and Mary McCormack, who appeared on Handler’s very first show, staged a fake intervention, with Mary using Netflix as a euphemism for rehab. “Netflix is a wonderful facility that will give you all the help you need,” Mary said.

    Watch the clips below:

    Chelsea, who is not known for being the serious type, then took the time to address the crowd and the millions of people who have made her show a success. “First of all, I want to say thank you to every single person who showed up for me tonight,” she said. Many other celebrities stopped by to see their friend off including Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, Tim Gunn, and Trace Adkins.

    She then thanked “everybody who works on the show, the crew and the sound people who have to deal with my bad moods and my good moods and the bad people I dated and the good people I dated.”

    “I never really got a good chance to be serious and say ‘thank you’ and I want you to know that I am grateful for this career, thank you very much,” Chelsea continued. “Thank you to my family and mom. I hope you’re watching me! I’ll see you on Netflix!”

  • Chelsea Handler Poses in Nothing But a Thong on Instagram to Promote Finale

    Only Chelsea Handler could get away with something like this and continue to retain her OMG-she’s-so-cool factor.

    The 39-year-old television host posted a surprising shot Thursday on Instagram, wearing nothing more than a thong to promote the finale of her E! series, Chelsea Lately. The photo shows the looking-good-at-almost-40 Handler in a locker room sitting on a folded towel on a wooden bench, glancing provocatively over her shoulder, wearing only a tan-colored pair of underwear.

    The best part about the post is the caption: I’m a Kardashian.

    The funny lady shared another sexy-sexy shot on Wednesday. This time Handler is shown standing on a towel, wearing a va-va-voom black lace bra and panties set, surrounded by self-tanning products.

    For this one, she captioned: “Getting ready for my final shower scene. August 26th is the one hour finale. Orange you glad I told you?” Get it? Self-tanning products? Orange? OK, you get it.

    The last episode of the long-running talk show will air live on Aug. 26. Handler’s guest appearances will include none other than her ex-boyfriend, 50 Cent. Other expected guests include Handler’s BFF’s Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock.


    Handler will launch her much anticipated Netflix talk show in 2016.

    Handler has said she chose to work with Netflix because she wanted to take on something completely different if she was going to stay in the industry.

    “If I was going to continue working in this industry, I knew I had to do something outside the box to keep myself interested,” Handler said. “I’m more excited than I’ve been in awhile, and the team at Netflix is the most forward thinking, alert group I’ve sat down with in ages.”

  • Chelsea Handler Goes Nude For Finale of Show

    On August 26, Chelsea Handler will end her run of seven years of hosting her talk show, Chelsea Lately, on the E! network. Handler first began her career as a stand-up comedian and made the transition to late-night in 2007. With the send-off of her show, Handler gets an opportunity all of us fantasize about almost on a daily basis – quitting our jobs in any fashion we wish. In Handler’s case, that fashion appears to be nude.

    On her Instagram account yesterday, Handler promoted the finale of her show by displaying her good-looks at 39 years old. Being a comedian, Handler most likely knows the first rule of success in advertising: sex sells. While Handler may not be donning her birthday suit during her final show, you better believe her nude stunt will drive viewers to the finale.

    Handler’s first post included the tagline: “Getting ready for my final shower scene. August 26th is the one hour finale. Orange you glad I told you?” (Orange most likely being a pun on her self-tanning colored skin tone.)

    And her second photo was tagged with the much simpler, yet funnier, “I’m a Kardashian.”

    The second photo likely stems from a long, deep burning dislike Handler has developed for the culture she was part of for the past seven years, hence the reason for her leaving E! and taking her talents to Netflix:

    I think if you participate in the celebrity world then you don’t really have a choice but to be involved in the drama. You end up getting so into the mix that it changes the topics of the day. You can sit around and complain about all that s**t and the Kardashians all day but if you’re participating in it then what can you do? It really didn’t feel great doing the show and the only way to sort things out was to extricate myself from the entire situation.

    Handler will be pushing the limits on her finale, though, as she is inviting 50 Cent to her studio for the first time since the former lovers parted ways. Handler will also be joined by her friends Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock.

    And, if the two photos above weren’t enough of a Handler fix for the day, here is a nude shower scene featuring Handler and none other than Conan O’Brien. (Is that really Conan’s body…?)

  • Chelsea Handler Receives Backlash For Hitler Parody

    Chelsea Handler is no stranger to controversy. However, it seems like her latest parody on her late night talk show Chelsea Lately, may have crossed the line, and she is now being called “tasteless, offensive and hurtful.”

    During an episode that aired on Monday, July 14, Chelsea did a Hitler parody on the show with her friend Chuy dressed up like the Nazi dictator. When Chuy first took to the stage, Handler asked him why he was dressed as Hitler to which he responded by saying, “because Germany won the World Cup.” “I’m a Jew, but I’m still glad Germany won. It’s nice for them to have something gold that they didn’t pry out of my grandfather’s mouth,” Chuy later added.

    “This Hitler parody in itself was tasteless, but Chelsea Handler’s references to it throughout the program and her connecting it with Germany’s World Cup victory took the joke way overboard,” Abraham H. Foxman, the National Director for the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement on Wednesday, July 16.

    “While we try to give comedians leeway and do not believe that Nazi jokes should be completely off-limits, this was an instance of taking a Hitler parody to the extreme,” Foxman added. “It was tasteless, offensive and hurtful both to Holocaust survivors and their families, and to members of the German team and all Germans.”

    At the end of the skit Chuy said, “I am dressed as Hitler as a joke but I want everyone to know that I was a terrible man. I love Jews. Good night.”

    Although the parody was intended to put a funny spin on Germany winning the World Cup, many are outraged that she would stoop so low. And it’s not only Handler that is making jokes about Germany’s win; their win has ignited a slew of Hitler and Nazi comments on social media.

    ADL explained in a letter to E! Entertainment that Handler’s comments, “only play into this trivialization of what happened during the Holocaust. This trend only seems to be getting worse as time passes and as Holocaust survivors and memory of what really happened during World War II dwindles.”

    “These tweets falsely and irresponsibly identify current, democratic Germany with the horrific past of the country, which the present German government and people have denounced and rejected,” Foxman stated. “Germany has done so much to atone for its past, and to have this happen now is terribly hurtful.”

  • Chelsea Handler Lands Big Deal With Netflix

    Chelsea Handler Lands Big Deal With Netflix

    Chelsea Handler has landed a big deal with Netflix and she has signed on the dotted line for not only her own late night show starting in 2016, but four documentaries and a stand-up special, too, which she just recently flew off to film. Handler’s late night show Chelsea Lately on the E! network is ending in August.

    Sounds like the funny lady, who is known for being rather raunchy at just the right time, is jumping out of the fire and into the frying pan but the heat for her was oh, so good, and next she’ll likely sizzle and pop.

    Netflix reports that Chelsea Handler’s new late night show will “feature an updated format that still encompasses Chelsea’s unfiltered opinions on topical entertainment and cultural issues, as well as her signature guest interviews.” Sounds a lot like Chelsea Lately, don’t you think? Might she get away with even more on Netflix than she did on E!?

    “If I was going to continue working in this industry, I knew I had to do something outside the box to keep myself interested. I wanted to sit with the cool kids at lunch so I approached Netflix to make sure they were as cool as I thought they were, and when I confirmed my suspicions, like with any other future lover, I made my move. I’m more excited than I’ve been in awhile, and the team at Netflix is the most forward thinking, alert group I’ve sat down with in ages. No offense to the Shahs Of Sunset,” Handler said.

    Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos is optimistic about the deal with Handler and credits the internet for changing the way people view shows.

    “The Internet has disrupted many of the conventions of traditional television and together with Chelsea Handler, Netflix is looking forward to reimagining the late night talk show for the on-demand generation, starting with the late night part…..,” he said.

    It was only a couple of months ago when Chelsea denied that she and Netflix had a thing going on. Well the cat is out of the bag now, Chelsea Handler, and fans are no doubt thrilled to hear it meow.

    Are you a fan of Chelsea Lately? Will you follow the late night host and comedienne when she makes the switch to Netflix? You certainly won’t be alone.

  • Scott Caan, Girlfriend Expecting First Child

    Scott Caan and girlfriend Kacy Byxbee are expecting their first child together, his rep confirmed to Us Weekly.

    “They haven’t been keeping it private really, she’s just been working on her business with her family so she hasn’t been around,” a source told Us. “She’s expecting very soon.”

    Family, friends and her sisters feted the coming baby by offering Byxbee a baby shower last weekend in L.A., said the source.

    The Hawaii Five-O star talked about his relationship with Byxbee during an appearance on Chelsea Lately in January 2013.

    “She should get the purple heart because I’m a complete disaster,” he said.

    The couple live together in Hawaii so Caan can shoot Hawaii Five-O. However, the 37-year-old hottie said the “relaxed” nature and lack of “hustle” in Hawaii — where the couple first met — isn’t exactly his idea of paradise.

    “Everything’s very slow-motion. I pick up the cup and they slowly pick of the cup,” he joked.

    This will be the first child for the couple who have been together for a “couple of years.”

    Scott’s father, James Caan, is said to be very excited to become a grandfather.

    “His dad James is really close with him,” the insider told Us. “He is very excited.”

  • ‘Chelsea Lately’ Ends its Run in August

    Chelsea Handler, 39, is calling it quits. E! Network has confirmed the late-night show will end its run in August.

    Handler, 39, will wrap Chelsea Lately‘s seven-year run with a live, hour-long episode on August 26.

    “I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years,” Handler told The Hollywood Reporter. “I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college. I’m glad I went.”

    This is not breaking news. Handler’s manager, Irving Azoff, revealed in March the comedienne’s intentions to leave the network.

    “Chelsea intends to leave when her contract expires. She hired me to figure out her life after E! We have at least seven suitors and many ideas,” said Azoff.

    E! Network president Suzanne Kolb had nothing but good things to say about Handler.

    “We are very proud of Chelsea Lately‘s long-running success and the unique space that the series carved out in late night television,” said Kolb. “Chelsea brought a distinct voice to late night with her acerbic wit and fearless commentary and we look forward to providing fans with a memorable send-off that lives up to that tradition. Most of all, we are grateful to the Chelsea Lately team for making this show so special for seven years.”

    In the month preceding the final episode, E! Network will host a month-long celebration complete with surprise guests and a look back at Chelsea‘s favorite episodes.

    It’s no big secret Handler was unhappy at E!. In a March 5 appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show, she said the network was “a sad, sad place to live. They don’t know what they’re doing. They have no ideas. It’s a failure.”

    There have been many rumors about what’s next for the comedienne — from Netflix to CBS — but it is unknown at this point what her future plans might be.

It’s a failure.”

    After E! announced the cancellation of the show, Handler provided a prepared statement that said she enjoyed her time spent on E! and the memories she made. “I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years,” she said. “I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college.
