Chelsea Handler has broken the male cliché that beautiful sexy women
can't be successful comediennes. While there have been a few attractive
women like Lucille Ball, most of the comediennes don't automatically
exude sexiness and laughter simultaneously. One reason may be that most
men can't maintain an erection while laughing. There are, as with most
clichés, exceptions such as Christina Applegate, Anna Faris, and
Alejandra Azcárate. But the sexiest, bawdiest, and baddest of them all
is Chelsea Handler, the popular E Network host of Chelsea Lately which
averages 900,000 viewers per episode.
Chelsea appeared on one of two covers of December 2009 edition of
Playboy magazine and is also a two-times New York Times best-selling
author, She continues to hone her comedy by performing nationwide as a
stand-up comedian, often with members of her Chelsea Lately coterie of
comic guests. In a 2008 interview Chelsea explained, "The worse the
guests are, the more pathetic they are, the funnier the show is."
Chelsea consistently comments on her sex life on her nightly show
including her sexcapades with her long-time boyfriend Ted Harbert the
CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group, and rapper 50 Cent. When
fellow-rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs once explained on Chelsea Lately how
physically excited he was to see her. and almost exposed himself to
prove it, he said, "But it's not the same, you know, as all the other
black men that's trying to meet you and get at you (cough, cough 50
Cent), but it's like, you're cute to me and cool and I just want to eat
a cheeseburger with you and watch a movie." She had her audience
hysterical when she explained, "Justin Bieber said 'I don't think you
should have sex with anyone unless you love tem. I agree. And I've been
in love 107 times."
What other appetites does Chelsea excite, other then sexual? Most likely
food. So the the one food that might satisfy most male Chelsea fans are
the classic Chelsea buns, a fruit-filled breakfast treat first created
in the 18th century at the The Chelsea Bun House in London. Before it
closed its doors in 1839, London royalty including Kings George II and
III would stop by for some tasty Chelsea buns. The bun is made of a rich
yeast dough flavored with lemon peel, cinnamon, or a sweet spice
mixture. We also suggest pairing these scrumptious buns with a DVD of
This Means War (2012) in which she plays Reese Witherspoon's best friend
in this romantic spy caper.
