just love alcohol. We have a very, very good relationship. ‘‘ IHe’s never let me down and I’ve never let him down. It doesn’t make you sick. I had some bad experiences with other alcohols when I was younger. And it’s just a nice smooth drink. I don’t like beer, it’s too heavy. And vodka also has the least amount of sugar.
‘‘
ALCOHOL There's a good chance I may be an alcoholic.You think guys would be a little more excited bout that. All they do is bitch and moan.
'YOU DRINK TOO MUCH. YOU SLEEP TOO MUCH.’ It's like, if you were drunk all the time, you'd be tired, too.
Obviously, if I was serious about having a relationship with someone long-term, the last people I would introduce him to would be my family.

Chelsea so wonderfully displays her traits that we love most: the truth and the way it is, and she doesn’t care who she is saying it to. Chelsea’s pokes and criticisms range from almost any and every category possible, making her personality even more fun to enjoy. She comments on fellow celebrities, political news, random world stupidness, and the show’s office staff as well as environment. Although, certain situations, mostly with other celebs, do not always end up so happy. Handler says that poking fun at the celebs she does, are the stupid ones, for example Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears. These two recently have been huge targets in the news that Handler can just not help poking at, and who can blame her. She says what all of us are wanting to say and what all of us are thinking. With Lindsey Lohan’s last five years of news gossip, she is becoming to sound like a broken record. Then with Britney, it’s almost so sad where she has taken herself that Handler now starts to just feel bad for and moves onto someone else. That someone else can range from the daily celebrity tabloids

AN EXCERPT FROM: CHAPTER ONE
ARE YOU THERE VODKA, IT’S ME CHELSEA I was nine years old and walking myself to school one morning when I heard the unfamiliar sound of a pre pubescent boy calling my name. I had heard my name spoken out loud by males before, but it was most often by one of my brothers, my father, or a teacher, and it was usually followed up with a shot to the side of the head. I turned around and spotted Jason Safirstein. Jason was an adorable fifth-grader with an amazing lower body who lived down the street from me. I had never walked to school, had a conversation with, or even so much as made eye contact with Jason before. After lifting up one of my earmuffs to make sure I had heard him correctly, I nervously attempted to release my wedgie while waiting for him to catch up. (A futile effort, as it turned out, while wearing two mittens the size of car batteries.) “I heard you were going to be in a movie with Goldie Hawn,” he said to me, out of breath. Sh*t. I had worried something like this was going to happen. The day before, I had forgotten my Language Arts homework, and when the teacher singled me out in front of the entire class to find out where it was, I told her that I had been in three straight days of meetings with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, negotiating my contract to play Goldie Hawn’s daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin. The fact that no sequel to Private Benjamin was in the works, or that a third grader wouldn’t be negotiating her own contract with the star of the movie and her live-in lover, hadn’t dawned on me. “Yeah, well, that was kind of a lie,” I mumbled, recovering my left mitten from in between my butt cheeks. “What?” he asked, astounded. “You lied? Everyone has been talking about it. Everyone thinks it’s so cool.” “Really?” I asked, quickly changing my tune, realizing the magnitude of what had happened. It occurred to me that this was the perfect opportunity to get some of the respect I believe had been denied me, due to my father dropping me off in front of the school in a 1967 banana yellow Yugo. It was 1984, and my father had no idea of or interest in how damaging his 1967

AUTHOR
Since originating from Mexico, Chelsea has coined the nickname, “Mexican Nugget” for Chuy.
Chelsea has now helped Chuy to reach his first book release opportunity. “Little Nuggets of Wisdom” just recently hit stores. Chuy also shows his appreciation to “Miss Chelsea” as the calls her by dedicating the book to her.
ORIGIN
I just think they’re cute Chelsea says. But the fat ones only, not the skinny ones. I just think they’re like little oompa loompas. I love them.
Formally born Jesus Melgoza, the now Chuy Bravo hails from the country of Mexico, after he moved here with his family at 15 years old.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
NICKNAME
What could be more fun?.....than a little nugget assistant? Chelsea and Chuy have been almost joined at the hip since they first met in Mexico. Chelsea says, “I met my first nugget in Mexico, and he was a waiter with a sombrero on his head, that was filled with chips and salsa. Like I was gona let that guy get away, I don’t think so.” Chelsea has taken Chuy, (first named Jesus Melgoza) under her wing and into her family of the Chelsea Lately crew, and also just set him up with his first book release opportunity which just recently came out called, Little Nuggets of Wisdom. Chuy shows his generosity and appreciation to “Miss Chelsea” as he calls her through his touching and personal book dedication in the first pages of this new book.

CHELSEA LATELY THE GUEST COMEDIANS OF CHELSEA LATELY PROVIDE HUMOR NOT ONLY AT THE ROUND TABLE, BUT OFF SET AS WELL The comedians who frequently star on the E! network’s show, Chelsea Lately, are a variety of independent comics who some have their own shows, stand ups, tours of their own, or are directly hired and working solely for the show itself. These comics are all very different, which of course makes for an interesting office environment (if that’s what you’d like to call it.) This particular show has an office atmosphere of sarcasm, whit, and of

course bluntness. On a daily basis practical jokes and personal roasts occur all out of fun and personality of these comedians. One of the many things the world loves about Chelsea Handler and her show is the truth, and someone(s) not afraid to say it.
Ross Matthews was born on September 24, 1979 in Mount Vernon, Washington. He studied communications at the University of La Verne, and later rose to fame for being an intern and correspondent for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He covered movie premieres at the time, in addition to awards shows and the Winter Olympics. Since leaving, he became a creative consultant of the show and has since provided commentary for the E! network. He also appeared on Chelsea Lately and was a guest host on The View. He later became a participant in the 2007 season of Celebrity Fit Club. Aside from appearing on 1 vs. 100 as a celebrity mob member, Ross Matthews bagged a role on NBC’s daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives. Later on, he

John began his stand-up career in North east Ohio in 1997. His sharp wit and unique delivery made him a crowd favorite right off the bat. After graduating from Kent State University, he left behind a lucrative career patching potholes to take his talent to the West coast. There he spent the next four years working the door at the world famous Comedy Store and cutting grass at a local golf course. Cap’s first big break came at the 2003 Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, where he impressed the industry observers enough to offer him a

From filling clubs across the nation to being seen weekly as a regular guest on Chelsea Lately, Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest start performing at a Las Vegas coffee house. His infectiously explosive energy on stage, insightful jokes and family inspired humor cross all boundaries and led Daily Variety to name him one of the “10 Comics to Watch”. Born in Tacoma, Washington, Jo credits his mother for his comedic and acting talents. Growing up, his mother constantly encouraged him to take part in school talent shows or present impromptu performances for his family and close friends.
