Chelsea Handler on Angelina Jolie: "A fucking lunatic"

Chelsea Handler and Jennifer Aniston are best friends.



Chelsea is renowned for not mincing words.

When the Jen/Brad Pitt breakup first happened, Chelsea went to town on sticking up for her friend. You can read that HERE.

At the time, she has said about Angelina Jolie:

"She can rescue as many babies from as many countries as she wants to [but] I don't f--king believe you."

And:

"She gives interviews, 'I don't have a lot of female friends.' Cause you're a f--king c--t, that's why."

And now... yup. Chelsea ain't holding back.

On Chelsea's Netflix show called 'Chelsea', she said:

“Brad and Angelina always said they wouldn’t get married until everyone could get married,” she started. “And I always said I wouldn’t get married until they got divorced, so I’m officially accepting proposals. I’m ready.”

And then:

“There are rumours that part of the problem was that Brad was allegedly drinking and smoking too much weed. I wonder why he would need to self-medicate."

“Maybe because he could have been spending the last 12 years at Lake Como hanging out with George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids speaking 15 different languages.

“Oh yeah, because he married a f*cking lunatic, that’s why.”

She adds:

“But we should all respect their privacy during this very difficult time,” Handler continued. “So this will be the last time I speak of this. On TV. You can follow me on Twitter.”

'Chelsea Lately': Best of Videos

'Chelsea Lately' - the cheeky talk show created and hosted by Chelsea Handler - is coming to an end this week.

The acerbically witty comedienne and author has been to Australia twice to record her entire show here (I was lucky enough to go to both tapings in Sydney, which was later broadcast around the world. Click here and here and here for behind the scenes goss and pics from the Sydney shows.

Here are some of her most brazen videos and most talked about segments:

And finally, a clip from her last interview subject, Jennifer Lopez:

Chelsea Lately - Eric Bana: VIDEO

Only Chelsea Handler can do double entendres this well.

Australian actor Eric Bana stopped by Monday's 'Chelsea Lately', and the subject of the actor's love of the great outdoors became a topic of conversation.

Here is the clip.

"You're like a race-car driver and you do all the stuff in the bush. You go deep in the bush," Chelsea said to Eric.

She turned to the camera and clarified, "The real bush. The Australian bush."

"I do love getting into the bush, absolutely," Eric noted.

Later in the interview, Chelsea executes a kinda come-on to Eric, to no avail.

Eric was interviewed by Chelsea last year when she did a row of shows in Australia. Clip here:

I went along to a show taping and had a blast. Photos here.

Oh, and later, they interviewed Rusty Rockets, aka Russell Brand.

Jennifer Aniston on 'Chelsea Lately': Jen cries happy tears about engagement

Jennifer Aniston and Chelsea Handler are BFFs , so it was only natural that Jen spoke so frankly about her engagement to Chelsea on her show 'Chelsea Lately'. Watch:



Chelsea has become tight with Jennifer over the past few years, since she first appeared on the show [I am NUTS about the show - have been part of the Australian audience both time the whole production came to Sydney], and it's great to see a genuine friendship.

Here's some more on the duo here http://josiesjuice.blogspot.com.au/2011/02/jennifer-aniston-on-chelsea-lately.html and here: http://josiesjuice.blogspot.com.au/2010/08/jennifer-aniston-on-chelsea-lately-on-e.html

Rihanna on Chelsea Lately: Sydney show

As soon as the announcement was made that visiting popstar Rihanna was to be the final guest at the Sydney tapings of the E! channel Chelsea Lately show, the excitement amongst fans (of both) has mounted.

And the fiery-haired one did not disappoint. As soon as the larger than life star - looking stunning in a black mini, patent beige pumps, and a smattering of divine gold jewellery - came on stage, the audience went slightly nuts. About as nuts as we went the moment host Chelsea Handler stepped onto the Foxtel TV stage.

With the audience made up of lucky ticket holders and media, every person there was a true fan, and it showed (I even spied gorgeous "gender illusionist" Courtney Act in the crowd - no mean feat; he's hard to recognise without the war paint).

We all know the regular "round table" comedians - including Josh Wolf, Brad Wollack, Heather McDonald, Sarah Colonna, and of course Chelsea's sidekick Chuy - and you'd think we'd spotted rockstars as they were intro'ed onto stage.

The workings of a live show are something to behold. I really enjoy watching the behind-the-scenes stuff: the switching of sets, the last minute touch-ups, the lighting tests.

With this show, there are no second takes... what happens is what you see broadcast later. Including all the inappropriate "whoop, whoop, whoop" - although the warm-up guy kinda encourages it. He tells us to "act like Americans" and cheer at anything. Even the inappropriate stuff. We comply, although need no coaxing when the cameras are rolling. (I am sure I'll be hearing my distinctly loud laugh when the show is broadcast on Friday on E!).

Between takes a Chelsea Lately production person trips over lighting and goes, er, "a over t." Chelsea tries to stifle her laughter, though is later thoughtfully checking in on her staffer. Onya Chels.

During the panel part of the show, Chelsea talks about her surprise at the "lack of black people in Australia" (later, her and Rihanna discuss it, and Rihanna admits her delight when she spots dark-skinned audience members at her Australian concerts). Chelsea is, however, rather surprised at our large contingent of Asian-heritaged folk. And to illustrate that she shows us footage of a taxi ride where she feels up a Asian cabbie... the crowd loves it.

The round table panel for this evening's show is made up of the hilarious Josh Wolf, the seriously funny Fortune Feimster, and repping the Australian guest is Adam Hills. Adam's jokes will no doubt create waves in gossip columns and on TV shows, hungry for controversial soundbytes. One joke involves cancer. That got a lot of boos ("Oh c'mon Australia; you don't like cancer jokes?" adds Chelsea, to lighten it up a bit). Hills adds a few more off-colour jokes, but the audience kinda expects un-PC.

It's what Chelsea has built a career on: taking pot shots at celebs; saying the stuff we are really thinking (like, just how many endorsements can the Kardashians really be involved in? And her disdain for Angelina). I don't know of anyone who can get away with so much. And yet she pulls it off superbly. In fact, she's the master at it.

After the show, fans (and media pretending to act cool but genuinely excited to be meeting show guests) hang about for autographs and pics. We don't expect to see Chelsea and definitely not Rihanna. But as fashion stylist Kelly Smythe leaves the corridors (who did she dress? The former or the latter? Both looked impeccable - Chelsea's shoes and dress were to-die-for) we leave with our Chelsea craving satisfied.

If you don't know what the fuss is about, where have you been?

Check out Chelsea Lately, Monday to Saturday at 10.30pm on E!, available on Foxtel, Austar, and Optus.
