Biography & Autobiography. Essays. Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:In these personal essays, the hilarious comedian and Chelsea Lately host reflects on family, love life, and the absurdities of adulthood with "cheeky candor" and signature wit (Philadelphia Inquirer).


Life doesn't get more hilarious than when Chelsea Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit. Who else would send all-staff emails to smoke out the dumbest people on her show? Now, in this new collection of original essays, the #1 bestselling author of Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood.


Family moments are fair game, whether it's writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. It's open season on her love life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend (using a ravioli, a fake autopsy, and the Santa Monica pier) to adopting a dog so she can snuggle with someone who doesn't talk. And everyone better duck for cover when her beach vacation turns into matchmaking gone wild. Outrageously funny and deliciously wicked, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang is good good good good!


Chelsea Handler on . . .

  • Being unpopular: "My parents couldn't have been more unreasonable when it came to fads or clothes that weren't purchased at a pharmacy."
  • Living with her boyfriend: "He's similar to a large toddler, the only difference being he doesn't cry when he wakes up."
  • Appreciating her brother: "He's a certified public accountant, and I have a real life."
  • Arm-wrestling a maid of honor: "It wasn't her strength that intimidated me. It was the starry way her eyes focused on me, like Mike Tyson getting ready to feed."

This is the second book I've read by Chelsea Handler. While I didn't find this one as hilarious as My Horizontal Life (this one didn't make me laugh out loud nearly as much as MHL), it's still definitely worth reading. I highly recommend it. ( )

Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang
by Chelsea Handler
2010
Grand Central/ Hachette

So my love/hate relationship with Chels continues.
She can make me laugh out loud at the most inappropriate comments,. She has moments of comedic brilliance and is totally irreverent and irresponsible. This I love.
And then she can piss me off with the next comment. She can be rude, obnoxious and hurtful. This I hate abut her.
But that is exactly what makes her so funny.
This book of stories show one of the best forms of her comedy to me.....pulling off a prank. No one ....no one can pull off a prank like Chels.......and even though I probably should not......I burst out in laughter. The pranks against her boyfriend, Ted, are just too good. Too good. These stories save this book.
Overall, this is not her best collection but worth the read just for chapters of her jokes on her friends and her boyfriend, Ted. ( )

"Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang" makes you wish that Handler would start focusing her talent on subjects more worthy of her wit. Or another way to put it: It's one thing to have an original voice, it's another thing to keep it.
 
Released March 9, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang explores the twisted lifestyle the author leads. Whether it’s a series of e-mails between siblings or a detailed joke played on her CEO boyfriend, Handler fails in her attempt to create an essay with any significance.
 
The stories in Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang are smart, clever and embarrassingly relatable – spewing from the mind of someone you wished was in your closest circle. This is definitely a book with a bang, one that you will most likely read in one sitting and will leave your jaw sore with laughter.
