Chelsea Handler Likes Gays, But Not Tori Spelling
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Celebrity Feuds > Tori Spelling > Chelsea Handler
In a new interview with The Advocate, Chelsea Handler discusses being a gay "icon", but distances herself from Tori Spelling with a 10 foot pole.
How do you explain your strong connection with the gay community?
I’m like a gay man trapped in a woman’s body, and that’s exactly why the gays and I get along so well. We have the same attitude, which is “fuck everybody and let’s say exactly what we think.” I understand somebody who doesn’t exactly fit in, somebody who’s struggled or felt embarrassed, ashamed, or not confident in who they are. Growing up, I got tortured and made fun of, but that makes you a lot stronger. And now, obviously, I’m very popular.
But your late mother was Mormon. Did that affect your thoughts on homosexuality?
Well, we kept the Mormon side down to a dull roar growing up, because we realized how ridiculous and intolerant that religion is. My mom was never really a typical devout Mormon. After my brother passed away when he was 21 years old, my mom turned to religion, as many people do, but she was very tolerant of other religions. It was a melding of religions in our household, which worked out well because we’re all open to anything—and, as a final result, not religious at all. Organized religion, more than anything else, is completely inappropriate.
Did you attend any Prop. 8 protests or rallies?
I only go where the gay people invite me to go. It’s not nice to do things for the community only when people are looking. People who speak out for gay people just so that they can create a fan base annoy the shit out of me. People like Tori Spelling. She doesn’t have compassion for them. She’s not going out doing things for them. She’s like, “Oh, I have such a huge gay following.” It’s because no one else is following her!
Tell us what you really think, Chelsea!
No word yet from Spelling, but we expect her to release a statement….three seconds ago.

shes amazing!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~
TEAM CHELSEA!
although I agree, she could use a different stylist
Chelsea has always been truthful and honest!!!! She tells the truth and I love her for that!!!!
I will NEVER WATCH this EVIL B*TCH again. She is nasty, judgemental, and mean.
I tried to watch a few times, but everytime she was just in-your-face mean. She must not be very happy.
Re: WakeUpPeople – Not really. Kathy still is nicer, Chelsea's style is downright rude, nasty and acid. I love both of them but they're different. I wish she would invite Kathy to her show, that would be AMAZING.
If they make a new show "Chelsea Handler My New BFF" I want to apply…I LOVE her!
Re: Megan1 – Get Help
Re: your_highness420 – LOVE the gays, HATE chelsea handler!!! she is SOOOO NOT FUNNY!!!! seriously……..
**Trust me…it's you that just "doesn't get it"**
I LOVE TORI
To be honest i have no idea who this is or what show she has been on!
It doesn't matter if you love or hate Tori at least people know her!
i love chelsea handler! shes awesomeeee!
Isn't Tori's best friend a gay man?
Chelsea Handler is the funniest bitch on the planet. LOVE her. She's also really cute. Bad pic, though. Also, while I don't get her love of little people, I do find myself nodding in agreement with everything she spews. Her books rock.
Re: LusciousLiz –
Me too. and of course, only cool people know who she is!
I love Chelsea, although not the best picture of her.
I saw her on Leno. She tries too hard and she's not funny. She's so mean about everyone that it makes her look desperate. She's trying too hard and it isn't working.
I'm so over Tori Spelling. Chelsea is hilarious. I think she's 100% right. Take a hike Tori.
Love Chelsea! but what's up with her collar bones?
No one needs a personal invitation to go to events that support gay rights. If you support equal rights, you go to events, it's quite simple, everyone is always invited. To me she sounds to be not supportive at all and that SHE is only doing things when other people are looking, so what is she talking about?? It's a load of bullshiiiit
Who the fuck is this? Sorry if I don't follow gay icons around all day but I have no clue who this woman (is this a woman?? She looks awfully manly) is!
did she really say that organized religion is completely inappropriate?
is she SERIOUS?
Errrrrrrmmph…I can't help it.
That's my girl!
Boo-Yah!
CHELSEA CRACKS ME UP !!! KEEP DRINKING THAT VODKA GIRL !!
I loved Chelsea until now!!! Thanks for letting me know!! As a Latina I feel that she always is offending us thru Chui, and it is double messed up because she is always making fun of little people.
Forget a fanbase - queers are unnatural.
She looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger on this photo.
Isn't that John Edwards in drag?
I LOVE HER!!!!
Re: Reginald Perrin – OMG i was thinking the same thing!!!!! more like Arnold Schwaznegger's little sister!! She is funny though.
She claims to be so tolerant but she calls people's faiths 'inappropriate,' 'ridiculous' and 'intolerant.' Yet she keeps company with Scientologists like Leah Remini? Whatever.
I liked Chelsea Hander, despite her horrible fashion sense, until recently. I'm over her now.
SHE IS FUCKING JEALOUS??? She looks like a man in these pictures, so she MUST be channeling her inner gay right?
tori spelling is a home wrecking whore!! woo hooo.. go chelsea handler!!
Love Chelsea. I religiously watch her show every day for a daily dose of reality. She sees the obvious and speaks that shit.
Chelsea Handler is one of my FAVORITE people–
There is no humor to this woman's show, it's just downright rude and mean-spirited. Any typical conversation starts with "this guy is such a fucking loser". What the hell is funny about that? Like I said, it's just mean and completely uncalled for. Unfortunately, "honesty" and "telling it like it is" has replaced basic manners and respect.
i like you chelsea, but damn girl, you need to let some gays show you how to dress and do your hair, because in that pic you are a DISASTER.
also, you're young, do go hatin' on tori, she's desparate for love and she's all tied up with that loser husband who is destined to break her heart, because he's a con if i ever saw one. she's never had any happiness and she may just be you..
Miss NON-FUNNY BULL DYKE speaks again.
this is really starting to piss me off.
"I’m like a gay man trapped in a woman’s body, and that’s exactly why the gays and I get along so well. We have the same attitude, which is “fuck everybody and let’s say exactly what we think.” I understand somebody who doesn’t exactly fit in, somebody who’s struggled or felt embarrassed, ashamed, or not confident in who they are.

STFU Chelsea. I can't believe I used to be a fan of hers. She busts on Sam Ronson every chance she gets. It's okay for men to be queer but gay women are gross, ugly and icky. That's called homophobia, biatch. Please shut up, this spiel is the same exact thing as saying, 'some of my best friends are black'. No one is buying it.
She's totally right about Tori Spelling. If Tori ever had an original thouhght, her head would explode.
Of course, self-professed drunken slut (hey, she said it, i didn't! LOL) Chelsea is dating a guy who's like 70. What's up with that?
People just running amuk, doing….religious… things?
And i guess she prefers disorganized religion.
Re: highAboveManHttn – What do you mean, "She may just be you"??? You mean Tori Spelling is Chelsea? Cause that makes no sense at all.
After watching Tori's reality show - I can easily say I have never been so UNIMPRESSED with a celeb's personality and way she leads her life. She uses her "baby voice" and doe-eyes and tries vainly to hide how totally STUPID she is. Then she brags constantly about her GAY following, yet made fun of the gays when they came to her B&B (behind their backs). Besides being a HUSBAND STEALER and ADULTERER, what more can one say about the vacuous bottle blonde except that I feel REALLY SORRY for her children since she will undoubtedly be staring at her husband's abs instead of watching the tykes around the pool.
Is she gay?
Re: masterdeluniverso – Good point, guess he is too good to do something huh? I bet noone is interested in paying him a dime like Obama ppl did to make him appear in meetings and commercials.
I love her!!
Chelsea is awesome!
