What's going on with Chelsea? She's barely trying nowadays.


Chelsea Handler was once very funny but over the last year or so I sense she's lost interest and barely cares about the quality of her show.

The failure of This Means War, the lousy reviews she received after she hosted the MTV Music Awards and the cancellation of the NBC series based on her early years appear to have sucked the life and passion out of Chelsea.

Nowadays Chelsea appears to be little more than a bitter bully who thinks saying "fat/black/Asian/gay" over and over again is enough of an effort.

I have also noticed that she doesn't seem to take the show as serious now. I questioned whether or not she was abusing alcohol. I mean, I know she jokes about drinking and doing drugs but didn't know if there was a real problem. She seems to have lost her passion and trips over her words more and more now. All this being said and I still watch her everyday lol. I still really like the show.

Cause she dates black guys. She is lazy.

I think Chelsea tries harder than any other late night host these days. She did have a bit of a lull, but I believe she has since regained appreciation for her show.

She's a drunk. A mean drunk and that's it.

According to tonight's show, she's also a mean sober person (shrug)....

I noticed that last year too. I think it was all of her traveling and being with her boyfriend. Maybe she lost herself for a while.

The show based on her early life, *It's me Chelsea* (I think that was the title)
Was horribly miscast Laura whatshername (big red from the 70's show) is a very two dimensional actor. A small two dimensions.
