Chelsea in Balazs rebound

Chelsea Handler blew off an appearance on NBCs Today with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on Monday morning, with her rep explaining she had food poisoning but she rebounded quick enough to snuggle with on-again boyfriend Andre Balazs later that night at the Monkey Bar.

The raunchy E! talk-show host got well enough to not only appear on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Monday afternoon, but to attend the Glamour Women of the Year Awards that night at Carnegie Hall. An after-dinner for award winners at Monkey Bar followed, where Handler was all over handsome hotelier Balazs, sources told Page Six.

On her show yesterday, Gifford said of Handler, She had been sick all night, we were told . . . But we had a feeling something was up.

Handler said on Fallon of missing the morning show: I wasnt drunk or anything. I literally walked into a shower door this morning . . . I couldnt go with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kota-ba, or whatever her name is.

Meanwhile, newly single Selena Gomez (pictured: opposite page) looked like J ustin Bieber couldnt be further from her mind as she huddled with her family and Ethan Hawk e at a separate table at Monkey Bar.

Earlier that evening, Gomez was honored by Glamour along with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, photographer Annie Leibovitz, architect Zaha Hadid, Rory and Ethel Kennedy and Girls creator Lena Dunham, who took off her gold heels onstage in mid-speech because her feet hurt.

I have to take my shoes off you guys, Im so sorry, she said, bending ov! er to remove the painful footwear.

During her heartfelt speech, Dunham also gave a shout-out to fellow honoree J.Crew executive creative director Jenna Lyons for encouraging her to wear shorts.

Its not going very well, thanks a lot, Dunham joked, before bouncing off the stage barefoot, stilettos in hand.
