Chelsea Handler Changes Netflix
Entertainment Weekly
“It’s just hard to go from seeing elephants living their lives in the wild and not being bothered by humans, to seeing them put in a bunker every night and then being forced to take assholes like us on rides.”

I've never been a fan of comedians or comedy shows. I've never liked late-night talk shows. But Chelsea Handler changed all of that.

"My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate."

After the ever-so-successful "Uganda Be Kidding Me" on Netflix, along with the newly added episodes of "Chelsea Does," on racism, marriage, Silicon Valley and drugs, Chelsea Handler will be re-entering the Netflix realm -- this time, in a unique way. Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night, her new 30-minute talk show episodes will become available for streaming.

“I’m a ridiculous person. If you take anything any comedian says seriously, then you’re stupid."

Premiering May 11, Chelsea's talk show will show three nights a week from there on. But "talk show" doesn't do the new show justice. According to Entertainment Weekly, Handler said, “You’ll be traveling around the world and learning new things all courtesy of Netflix. Treat this as an opportunity to get the college education you forgot to get."

So, why this recently rash decision to jump from E! to Netflix? The celebrities she had to work with? (*cough* Justin Bieber) The content she was dealing with? Handler told ET, "It's the difference between playing with kids on a playground and being in a really well-respected college."

Streaming to 186 countries, she wants to keep it real and intriguing to all. By writing a letter to herself, and posting it on social media, she revealed comical (of course) details of her show.

She writes to herself, "Sign up with Netflix." Previously, Handler joked about needing to learn how to stream and continues that joke to this day.

Her dream guest list consists of "Michelle Obama" and "The Pope" and "Arnold Schwarzenegger."

With some motivation and sass, she writes, "You wanted a new show, you got it. You wanted to be on Netflix, you are. You wanted to spread your wings, now fly bitch." How can you not love her?

So, tune into Netflix on May 11, or May 12, or any day, anytime, to watch Chelsea Handler's talk show -- which remains unnamed to the public -- to get your much-needed dose of sexually ambiguous, graciously hilarious and mildly vulgar humor.

“Laugh loudly, laugh often, and most important, laugh at yourself.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
