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."
