A few days ago Chelsea Handler made the cheap shot heard around the world - she told a drunken heckler to sit down and shut up! Then she called Angelina Jolie a "fucking cunt" and a "fucking whore". That was right after she mentioned something about homewrecking. The references go back a little ways to when Jolie hooked up with Brad Pitt, there by causing the demise of his marriage to Aniston. Jen took that kind of hard. She never seemed to bounce back - well she did and then some professionally but personally she seemed a little like a boat without a rudder as she drifted from one PR staged relationship to another.Jen hasn't been a total recluse. She's kept company and passed time with a small inner circle of close trusted associates - or 'friends' if you will. There's been Courtney Cox and her erstwhile husband Baby Boy David Arquette. These days there has been Chelsea Handler. She's kept Aniston company on some recent trips south of the border of those kind of vacations that middle aged women at loose ends have: Aniston on the weed and Handler juiced on vodka and hitting on anything that moved. Some might question whether that makes up for the lack of a cxlose personal romantic relationship. Handler's doing her best to fill the void. In fact these days Handler is getting so sucky with Aniston that Jen's ass is getting kissed more than Oprah Winfrey's by non lesbian Gayle King.
Ass Kissing is a strong phrase but there doesn't seem anything else to call it. Many speculated that her whole Jolie is a cunt stunt was a way of stroking her celebrity friend. Handler does have a history of getting personal to get on in the world. She got her show back when she was still dating E Channel's head.
Now Handler has come out and more or less admitted that her Angelina rant was a Team Aniston thing. In one of her recent clarifications Handler admitted to admiring Aniston whom she's descries as incredibly funny. She then goes on to say that Jolie - on the other hand - is an insincere woman (nice way of saying bitch) whom she can't make herself like. Those comments, which probably didn't help much, were given to non other than Katie Couric, in Glamor Mag, & here they are verbatim:
KATIE COURIC: Is there anybody who really makes you laugh? A woman who really makes you laugh, other than me?
CHELSEA HANDLER: Jennifer Aniston makes me laugh. She’s irreverent and hilarious, and she sends me really, really funny e-mails.
KATIE COURIC: She’s funny?
CHELSEA HANDLER: Very.
KATIE COURIC: And speaking of that, wow, girl, you went off on Angelina Jolie recently.
CHELSEA HANDLER: Yeah, I’m not a fan. She just doesn’t come off to me as a sincere woman. She seems like a woman that you’d really want to avoid.
There you have it - Aniston is a fantastic woman who would never remove an orphan from their natural environment for her own selfish personal ends! That's a bit more understated than Handler's used to, so you can tell what a big deal this is. You can also tell exactly how Handler feel's because even though she's in damage control spin mode she still doesn't bother to hide her feelings. The spin is right out there for everyone to see - just like Fox News. So I guess that she deserves some credit for sticking to her guns a little. Next time though, it might be a good idea not to go off half cocked.
