Chelsea Heandler Quit Her Show Because She's Tired Of Talking About Celebrities

(Source) — Chelsea Handler is the queen of late night snark and has made a career out of cheerfully taunting celebrities. But the chat show host, who will bid farewell to her E! show Chelsea Lately in August, admits she is quitting because she is totally fed up of stars. In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the statuesque blonde, 39, said: ‘To be quite honest I don’t really care about Justin Bieber and I don’t want to talk about him anymore. In order to make that happen I had to just stop doing my show. Straight away. You end up getting so into the mix that it changes the topics of the day. You can sit around and complain about all that s**t and the Kardashians all day but if you’re participating in it then what can you do? It really didn’t feel great doing the show and the only way to sort things out was to extricate myself from the entire situation. I want to talk to people who have changed the course of the world. Inventors, invaders and people who have been doing exciting stuff.”

I’ve got no problem with being tired of talking about celebrities. I’m with Chelsea, it can be a grind sometimes. It’s not like I wake up every single day excited to find out that Kendall Jenner instagrammed herself. Most days it’s a lot of fun but there are a few days you’re like “Oh what the hell? Do people actually give a fuck?” So I can respect what she’s doing here. If I was super duper rich I’d probably quit too (that’s what rich people do, they stop working and let their money work for them. There’s a money tip for free). But, on your way out don’t try and pretend you’re better than talking to/about celebrities. Like if I were to quit because I was tired of celebs, I wouldn’t say “I want to write meaningful stories about people who changed the world” because NO ONE wants to read those stories from me. Same goes for Chelsea interviewing the “inventors and invaders” of the world. You wrote some books about being drunk and getting fucked then you interviewed the Kardashians while you made fun of a midget in the corner, that’s not the path to interviewing Putin at a palace in St. Petersburg. Just take your money and integrity and go to the beach until you die. Don’t try and pretend you were ever a journalist, I know I wouldn’t.
