Halloween partygoers at the Standard Hotel Saturday night had the choice of whether they wanted to celebrate the holiday in heaven or hell. The bash hosted by Andre Balzs, Nick Rhodes, Andre Saraiva and Thomas Hayo turned the hotels Boom Boom Room heavenly, with golden vines and waitresses in white passing cloud-like cotton candy, and its other in-house club, Le Bain, hellish, with vultures in the windows, a video-wall of flames and bartenders in either devil or skeleton gear. PHOTOS: CELEBS IN COSTUME Balzs and gal pal Chelsea Handler created their own historical characters and arrived in costume as Duke and Lady von Glamoor-ass from The Weimar Republic. They arrived from Allison Sarofims cabaret-themed Halloween bash earlier in the night.

Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me, the latest installment in comedian Chelsea Handlers line of literature, takes the lazy girls approach to writing a book. That is, she made her friends, family and other victims do it for her. As anyone who has watched her late-night talk show Chelsea Lately knows, Handler loves to play practical jokes particularly at the expense of others. My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate Handler says. Her love for exploiting others dumbassness is apparent through the many anecdotes contributed by her family, friends, co-workers and even her dog Chunk. Whether shes pretending to be Pamela Anderson to ignorant tourists, convincing her friend to smuggle fake drugs across the border or spreading rumors via email throughout the office, Handlers flair for the ridiculous and borderline cruel jokes will n...

Martina McBride ( CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.) This is how Chelsea Handler describes Martina McBride 's new album Eleven : "It's real cute." McBride was on Handler's show Chelsea Lately Thursday night (Oct. 27), and after the "cute" comment, they ended up talking more about hot mess Blake Shelton than the album. But then they got into a discussion about how McBride is more of a glass-is-half-empty kind of person. "I'm a little suspicious of everybody, anyway," she admitted to Handler. And she blamed the Penetrators. That was the first band she was in as a teenager back in Sharon, Kan. "This is why I have trust issues. I grew up in Kansas in a very, very, very, very small town. I was just really nave," McBride told Handler. "I was 17 years old, and I joined this band, and they said they were gonna name the band the P...

Grammy-winning rapper T.I. showed off his more humorous side this week after appaering on late night talk show "Chelsea Lately" and poking fun at the host's recent fling with G-Unit's 50 Cent . Although Tip had been behind bars for nearly a year, he made sure to let Handler know he was familiar with her recent publicized romance. "Your last name isn't 'Lately,' by the way, Chelsea," T.I. told Handler. "It isn't?," she responded. "No it isn't." "[Then] what's my last name?" "I thought your last name was Cent? I thought it was Chelsea Cent." She then told Tip, "No, that's not true. 50's last name was Lately for a while. But then we changed it back. Anyway." ( "Chelsea Lately" ) In August, Handler admitted to having a sexual relationship with 50. "We were friends. We're not friends really anymore. I haven't spoken to him in a while... We had sex," Ha...

T.I. made an appearance on the Chelsea Lately Show last night and questioned the host about her relationship with 50 Cent. Chelsa has been coy about the nature of her relationship with the rapper in the past, but recently revealed in an interview with Piers Morgan that they had a brief romance earlier this year. T.I. went on the show to promote his new book Power & Beauty, but the conversation quickly turned to Chelsea's personal life. "Your name isn't 'Lately' by the way, Chelsea," he quipped. "I thought your last name was 'Cent.' I thought it was Chelsea Cent." Always one for banter, Chelsea cheekily replied: "No that's not true, 50's last name was 'Lately' for a while. But then we changed it back." Hottest R&B and Hip-Hop couples... Chris Brown And Kelly Rowland Dating After Intimate Dinners?

Chelsea Handler was escorted out of a men’s room at a party for Standard Hotel employees. Apparently a bouncer caught her and “a dude with gold shoes” in a stall in the men’s room. Hmm… Now what could they have been doing in there? Drugs come to mind. Chelsea has been pretty shameless when it comes to her openness about drug use. In her biography, My Horizontal Life , she tells a story of how she once did ecstasy with her gynecologist while on a boat ride to Catalina Island. She said: “A drug-toting gynecologist! I died and gone to heaven.” There is one person who tries to paint her in a better light. Her rep, Stephen Huvane , after initially denying that she was even at the party, said: “She was at the employee party but not at the Standard. She was not kicked out of the men’s room — that is a fabrication.” Oh! Well thanks for clearing that up! Just another story about a celebrity doing something they didn't do. Mmm hmm.

CHELSEA HANDLER is fuming over her one-time BFF JENNIFER ANISTON 's adamant refusal to help salvage her ailing sitcom, say sources. As The ENQUIRER previously reported, the TV talk-show host has been begging Jen to join the cast of her troubled NBC series Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea . After refusing to appear at all, Jen finally agreed to make a cameo appearance — but that's not enough for Chelsea, say sources. “Chelsea's hurt,” an insider revealed. “She's taking Jen's ‘thanks, but no thanks' as a real slap in the face.” According to sources, the “Chelsea Lately” host is “facing a disaster” with her new show after three main stars were axed before production even started. “The pilot episode was a bomb — it wasn't funny and the characters were unlikable,” the insider divulged. “Now they've decided to recast and go in a new direction. “And Chelsea's tearing her hair out trying to save it.” The semi-autobiographical show — which is based...

After talking about ex-wife Jennifer Aniston while promoting his new film, “Moneyball,” you might think that Brad Pitt would do anything to make his new movie a hit — however, he wouldn’t sit down with talk show host Chelsea Handler. “Chelsea would love to have had Brad on her show,” an insider tells me. “She’s had some of the biggest stars in the world on her show to promote their films. She’s had Gwyneth Paltrow visit and even Jennifer Aniston, but Brad said no way.” The much-hyped “Moneyball” had a strong opening weekend, raking in over $19.5 million, after being marketed toward adults and designed to appeal to both men and women. Pitt worked overtime to make sure the flick was a big hit, doing sit-down interviews with the “Today” show’s Matt Lauer and Ellen DeGeneres — plus that unforgettable interview with Parade magazine — but not Chelsea Handler. “It would have been great if he had agreed to do an interview with Jen’s best friend Chelsea,” an insider tells me. “If he’s still ...

Brad Pitt is afraid of Chelsea Handler. Though plays a lot of badass characters in the movies, it seems he is afraid of the petite blond with a crass mouth and it all comes down to Jennifer Aniston. Again. Chelsea Handler reportedly wanted to have Brad Pitt on her show to promote his new movie Moneyball and no doubt to grill him for making rude statements about her friend, Jennifer Aniston. Brad was not going to have any of it though, and flat-out refused to make an appearance. Did Brad know that sitting in that seat on her show would get him into some very hot water with Jen's fans? Everyone knows that Chelsea Handler doesn't beat around the bush so she would probably come straight out and call him a jerk if she felt like it. It's no secret that Chelsea Handler is an Angelina Jolie hater, so maybe Brad was trying to protect his beloved by not going on the show. In 2010, during a stand up comedy show, Chelsea Handler said : "She gives interviews, 'I don't hav...

HollywoodNews.com: Chelsea Handler has hosted the LA Gay & Lesbian Center’s annual gala and is generally known as being an LGBT ally. But she is getting a lot of pushback for remarks she and others made on her nightly E! show Chelsea Lately about transgender male Chaz Bono being cast on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Via the GLAAD blog: Last night’s episode of Chelsea Lately repeatedly made a mockery of Chaz Bono’s transgender identity when discussing the transgender advocate’s upcoming appearance on Dancing With the Stars. Host Chelsea Handler herself started the discussion off with a joke about Chaz Bono’s identity and anatomy, but was joined a few moments later by two members of her all-​comedian panel in using transphobic humor to mock him. Handler’s introduction: Chelsea Handler: The Dancing with the Stars cast has been announced and, this is season 13, it includes Chaz Bono, otherwise known as Chastity Bono [laughs] before she got her penis [laughs]….

Chelsea Handler is a busy gal. She's got her late-night talk show. She's got her books. She's got a show coming up on NBC, and she's got three more shows she'll be spinning off for people on her talk show. Exhausting, but such is the life of a budding media brand. We caught up with her at the Fortune Powerful Women conference on Tuesday and asked why she's the only woman who gets to spout off in late night. "I'm grateful for the opportunity," she began. Well that didn't sound like her. She coughed it up: "I think a point of view is a very powerful thing to have, and not be worried about who's gonna be mad at you for saying what," she said. And does she plan outrageous things to say on her show? No, she laughed. "That comes pretty easily." The show based on her book "Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea." will debut mid-season on NBC. It's a good time to be Chelsea.

Talk show host and comedian Chelsea Handler interviewed AOL Huffington Post Media Group's president and editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit. Below is an unedited transcript: Arianna Huffington CHELSEA HANDLER: Hello, hello. I am very, very, very excited and thrilled to be doing this interview, because it's finally something serious out of my life, and I would like to go on the record and say that I am a proud holder of an AOL e-mail account, and for the first time in my life not embarrassed to say it. (Laughter.) We spoke last week on the phone to discuss what we would be talking about today, and first I want to talk about your passion for sleep. ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: Yes. You know, I thought when I read your book, My Horizontal Life, I thought if I had written a book called My Horizontal Life, it would have been about sleep, not sex. (Laughter.) And I kind of came to sleep late in life. I basically -- (laughter) -- came to it be...

Chelsea Handler Credit: Asa Mathat It was a riot having Chelsea Handler at last week's Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit. Handler, whose business is media (two talk/reality programs on E!, a primetime sitcom coming soon to NBC (CMCSA), a growing stack of best-selling books), conducted a sharp and funny interview with another well-known media entrepreneur: Arianna Huffington, the queen of content at AOL (AOL). Handler also met Gloria Steinem at the Summit and invited the legendary leader of the women's movement to be a guest on Chelsea Lately, her late-night show. The program aired last night, and who would have imagined that Handler and Steinem would talk about the Fortune Summit and Warren Buffett? Click here to see the Chelsea Lately clip. As it turns out, Buffett--the only powerful guy to be interviewed at the three-day Summit--so captivated these two women pioneers that Handler and Steinem are now rallying support for the Buffett Rule. That, as you probably know, is Presid...

There is a an entire chapter in Chelsea Handler's book, "Are you there, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," about dating a ginger male. I have to say, even I'm offended by the midget-lover's description of "Big Red" aka Austin. I have to say though, she did distinguish between redheaded males and redhead females saying, "For a woman, being a redhead is a completely acceptable trait. Oftentimes it can be extremely attractive." However, she discusses this male, who she clearly fell in love with despite not being able to look at his pubes in broad daylight. She clearly likes him but can't seem to get past his hair. I've a lot of friends who confess interest in ginger men, and I've met a few attractive ones myself despite usually being repulsed by them. Anyway, some highlights from her chapter includ: "...I am unclear as to why they are called redheads when, for the most part, their hair is bright orange." People tell me I had orang...
