Posted: September 28, 2012 Comedienne Chelsea Handler is known for her sharp tongue and acerbic wit, but the personality that catapulted her to fame and earned her her own show with her name in the title also sometimes gets in the way of her bookings, Handler says. While everyone may like to watch Chelsea Handler tear into someone on TV, it may be a totally different story to be sitting in the hot seat on the receiving end of Handlers humor. At least thats what Chelsea said this morning during an interview with Savannah Guthrie on the TODAY show. According to Handler, guests are wary of guestdom on Chelsea Lately , fearing an accurate teardown at the late-night chat show hosts hands. But Chelsea says that she really makes an effort to make guests look good and that if they can tolerate her ribbing, it also makes them look like they have a decent sense of humor. Speaking to Guthrie, Handler complained : I hear that all the time People are very nervous to come on. Ill get calls from ...

By Randee Dawn, TODAY contributor Chelsea Handler is, well, a handful -- the kind of unfiltered late-night talk show host who actually frightens potential guests from appearing on "Chelsea Lately," as she told TODAY's Savannah Guthrie Friday. "I hear that all the time," she said. "People are very nervous to come on. I'll get calls from managers or publicists.... But I always take care of my guests.... People always come off looking like they can take a joke and have a good sense of humor about themselves." However she does it, Handler is one-of-a-kind in late night, as the only talk show host in that time period who happens to be a woman. Why? "Because I'm very masculine, maybe?" she joked. But what all of this -- the attitude, being the sole woman in late night -- has earned her is this: A brand-new studio, which has one major amenity that's got Handler thrilled. "(Comcast) spent a fortune for me to be able to have my own sh...

Ciara was spotted fresh faced while making her way through LAX Airport earlier this week, just hours after she wrapped up an interview on Power 106. Earlier that day, she sat down with Big Boys Neighborhood to promote her upcoming album but Big Boy had other things on his agenda to talk about. He grilled her on her former relationship with 50 Cent and why they were no longer together. He also wanted to know a few key things like whether or not Chelsea Handler was the reason that she and 50 broke up and whether the story Chelsea told on Howard Stern about Ciara stalking 50 Cent had any truth. Back then, Chelsea said that 50 was playing both of them and pitting them against each other in a high school-type way, but Ciara says that she has no idea what Chelsea is talking about and would never fight over a dude. The conversation with Big Boy on 50 cent went a little like this: Ive always said we were like best friends. We were always best friends. [So you're not best friends anymore?]...
