Untitled

there should be a ralph garman, kevin smith section —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.118.74 (talk) 20:56, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree -- actually never heard of her before the "no talented cunt" references by Garman. 142.229.102.228 (talk)

DOB

Why are people changing the date of her birth? She is clearly close to 40, as her IMDB page attests.

Her imdb page says that she was born in 1973, which would make her closer to 33. Qutezuce 20:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Obviously the IMDB page is wrong. She is old and has wrinkles. I read in a magazine she is close to 40.

Can you provide any sort of reliable source? You don't even seem to be consistent with her age — you edited the article to say she was born in 1973 and then later you wrote 1975, which is it? I think that are are just being a troll. This article from 2005 calls her a "30-year-old". So for now I'm going to side with IMDB and the San Francisco Chronicle unless you can provide some reliable source saying her age is otherwise. Qutezuce 00:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

See a blog about her here, correct DoB is Feb 1975 and middle name "Joy"

It's wrong. I sent a message to her myspace linked from her official site, and they confirmed that imdb has her birthday wrong.

Old and wrinkly? WTF? The woman is delicious! (totally not relevant wikipedia material, had to be said though) Although the pict on the main page is pretty weak. 67.189.48.254 04:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

What I don't get is how she said at least twice on The Chelsea Handler Show that she was 34, but now on Chelsea Lately she's saying she's 32. Fishy...

-DanceXwithXmexXx —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.160.222.253 (talk) 16:41, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

This is really weird. I made a comment on the Chelsea Lately talk page calling into question her age. Then, I came here and found it was a bit of an issue here too! Crazy. But yes, I definitely agree, this has to be at least 40. Someone please find a source giving her true date of birth.65.247.226.108 (talk) 03:45, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

She was born in 1975. That's the truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.115.4.113 (talk) 16:57, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

funny/unfunny

as of now it says that she will draw upon her "unfunny nature." is that vandalism? Amirman (talk) 21:44, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

So, is she a Republican, or what?

So, Ms. Handler is a regular on Scarborough Country, and has been on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld? That brings up the question of whether she herself is a conservative.

That would explain a lot of things . . . like the fact that she's not funny. --63.25.6.23 (talk) 11:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

She made negative coments about Bush she's definitely not a Republican. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.64.213 (talk) 08:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't prove much, these days. My conservative Republican parents groan and roll their eyes at the mere mention of Bush! Just about everyone hates him nowadays. And you know what? It couldn't have happened to a better person. . . .

Anyway, the main reason for this edit is to restore my original title for this section. That sentence fragment, tacked on at the end, was irritating to look at, and there was never any content to back it up. Just . . . "And bigot". Strange. If the drive-by editor had turned the title into something better -- more creative, funnier, more insightful, more accurate -- I wouldn't a bit! But I don't like being edited to look stupider.

--63.25.242.231 (talk) 15:40, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Quote:"She made negative coments about Bush she's definitely not a Republican." That has to be one of the stupidest, most illogical, comments that I have ever seen on here. (24.62.126.170 (talk) 01:28, 18 June 2010 (UTC))

Purpose of this page

Note: removed content ("Been Hazed by Chelsea") irrelevant to editing this article.

And ... ? Regardless of what you think, this page is for discussion of the article. Mhavril39 (talk) 06:11, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

To clarify: As with any article discussion page, this page is for discussion of the article, e.g., how it's constructed, problems with point of view or verifiability. It's not a place to discuss the subject of the article, in this case, Chelsea Handler, e.g., as a platform for personal opinions. Any question about the purpose of a disucssion page can be answered here. 842U (talk) 13:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Born in 1975? Nice try

Come on, use common sense. The only way Handler could possibly be 33 is if she's spent half her life in a tanning bed. Rule of thumb: if there are two proposed birthyears for a person, go with the older one. She has an incentive to lie about her age. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.129.36.50 (talk) 11:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

2 background checks I ran show CHELSEA J HANDLER from Livingston, NJ and LA, CA to be 33. Wiki doesn't allow them as sources but anyone who thinks she is older should try and find a report saying so. Satanico (talk) 03:28, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I think she looks much older than 33/34, but I suspect she is telling the truth about her age. Just chalk it up to the boozing she brags about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.110.167 (talk) 15:51, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Classmates.com has her listed as graduating high school in 1989. If she was really born in 1975, that would make her 14 when she graduated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.62.141 (talk) 07:56, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Age: Dig something up people

There is no way, I repeat NO WAY she was born in 1975. Can't someone find a HS yearbook? Outside of her looks (which obviously point to late 30's) all of her mannerism/references suggest she was a teenager in the early-mid '80s. I put her birth year in the 1969-1973 range, probably closer to the former. Find something, it's out there somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.111.17.100 (talk) 19:36, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Call her school in New Jersey, it's public records. She is 33. She even suggested that you do that if you don't believe her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.135.113.162 (talk) 02:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Come on people she must be in her 40's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.172.200 (talk) 04:22, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Wow, this really is a debate, huh? The official bios all list the 1975 birthyear. A comment at justjared (i can't link it apparently) says "I’ve seen her yearbook picture from class of ‘93. She’s just a prime example of what drinking/partying too hard can do to ya." If she graduated high school in 1993, that is consistent with a 1975 birth date. The Livingston High School (Livingston, New Jersey) page also says class of 1993, and one might think that alumni would edit that page if it was incorrect (the info was added to that page on April 26, 2007). There is a classmates.com profile [1] that lists a "chelsea handler" for the class of 1989, but that could be a fake, because the profile was only created on June 16, 2008. There are two other "chelsea handler" profiles for the class of 1993. One was created on April 2, 2005. The other on November 9, 2002--so if she was lying this lie goes way back. Perez Hilton had an accusatory post[2] in February 2010 without any backup, but one comment says "Ok, I went to Livingston High School when she says she was there. She was not there when I started and she wasn't there when i graduated. There is no way she's 35. Definitely closer to 40!"--but that could be fake comment, he could just check a yearbook. Here is a clip [3] where Chelsea pokes fun at the controversy over her age. This [4] comment on a blog claims to be from a classmate insisting she is 33 (at the time in early 2009). Unless anyone can produce real proof otherwise, such as a high school yearbook photo, 1975 should stay.--Milowent (talk) 17:37, 15 April 2010

Charity Work

I was going to add in a section about her charity work, which included donating 125,000 dollars to Jenny McCarthy's autism charity, but I don't really know how to do it!

It was revealed on the 5th of April on her show. She has also made videos against Prop 8, and has spoken at events trying to appeal Don't Ask Don't Tell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.49.11 (talk) 12:50, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Mother's Death

I read somewhere that Handler's mother passed away from breast cancer. Is this true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.83.233 (talk) 23:05, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

"However" makes no sense.

The article reads "On the July 19th, 2010 episode of her show, she confirmed she is dating Animal Planet star, animal handler, print model, and television producer Dave Salmoni.[20] However, on September 2, when asked by guest Melanie B if she was single, Chelsea stated that she was.[21]"

"However" is a word used to flag some actually or potentially contradictory or conflicting information. But there's no contradiction or inconsistency between someone _dating_ and someone being _single_. Indeed, MOST of the time someone who's dating IS single. Hence, the word "However" is out of place. "Is dating X" never has, and does not yet, mean "is married to|with X."

50 Cent

Although it is just rumor for now, when we get a reliable source we can put 50 Cent into the personal life section. Source says Chelsea Handler dating 50 Cent Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 20:50, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

She pretty much confirmed it on her Dec 13 show, the clip is all over news sites, where she talks about her dating life the past year and ends the monologue comparing the guys she's dated to superheroes, finishing with the line, 'and now I've ended up with batman, AKA the dark knight! the screen then cuts to a photo of them in bed together which is also all over the internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.178.83 (talk) 19:18, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Fuzzy Career

The article is confusing. Her career history is incomplete and poorly written. It says she started as a stand-up comedian then started appearing on "Girls Behaving Badly and on other shows". Next she hosts her own show on Oxygen network and then abruptly hosts the MTV Music Awards. What was the mechanism behind her career growing so rapidly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sobershrek (talk • contribs) 17:08, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Is it really that confusing? From the page as it stands today:

"In 2006, Handler began dating Ted Harbert, who oversaw E! Entertainment Television as the former CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group.["

"In July 2007, Handler began starring on her own half-hour, late-night comedy series on E! Entertainment Television titled Chelsea Lately. " — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.199.10.123 (talk) 07:31, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Film

Chelsea had a cameo in the movie Take Me Home Tonight — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.252.230 (talk) 12:59, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Time Magazine's 100 most influential

Apparently, Time Magazine has her listed in their 100 most influential people. I'm not sure how to write the citation code that. 76.21.107.221 (talk) 21:36, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Allure Magazine Photo

Someone might want to add a section on her photo shoot in Allure magazine this month (see here). — Preceding unsigned comment added by OlYeller21 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 14 April 2009‎

Homemade Porno

Shouldn't her sex tape be listed under her filmography?

LOL. Not until the DVD comes out.--Milowent (talk) 14:18, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Why is there no mention of this in her biography. She's admitted to it and I think its a notable, documented event by many reputable news sources.69.181.147.197 (talk) 22:53, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

If it's going to be added it can't be in the sarcastic and slanderous manner I saw here today. Someone who knows more about her is more qualified than I... That said, I'm not sure it should be added at all. Gregoe86 (talk) 23:44, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

It's not an actual "sex tape", it's a joke tape she made by inserting sex scenes from pornos between clips of her own audition tape. It was a joke. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 23:49, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Who Do You Think You Are?

According to a report from the Times of Israel, the programme "Who Do You Think You Are?" discussed the fact Chelsea Handler's mother was Jewish, while her father was not (which differs from the information in the Wikipedia article. The comedienne, in fact, was surprised to find that her father had a been in the German Army in World War II and had in fact been a Nazi.. Do you think the article needs an update?Barmispain (talk) 16:45, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. However, it appears the newspaper got the details wrong. I found this clip of the show and it is consistent with the info currently in the article. Handler's maternal grandfather, Karl Stoecker, was the one who served in the German Army. Thus that side of her family is very unlikely to have been the Jewish one.

And also, while I don't know the exact technicalities, I am not sure all German soldiers during WWII are necessarily considered Nazis. While he certainly could have been, in the video clips I watched he was not referred to as a Nazi. --Dfred (talk) 17:44, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Age

Is she really 38? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.30.71.94 (talk) 13:45, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 23:49, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

No. Class of 1985 Livingston High School. (http://livingstonhighschoolalumni.com/livingston-nj/alumni-list-h.html) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.53.86.174 (talk) 11:57, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

That source is basically [5], which leads to multiple people [6]. There is no evidence that any of them is this Chelsea Handler. Materialscientist (talk) 12:05, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Chelsea and 50 Cents

Chelsea Chandler and 50 Cent had a romantic relationship, one in which both have publically acknowledged. Why would that not be included in the Personal section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.163.35 (talk) 14:07, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

The first time, she couldn't take it in. The second tie, he couldn't get it up. That was the end of the 'relationship.' She adressed this on the 'E!' interview. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.103.81.34 (talk) 10:12, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
