Chelsea Peretti and Chester Hanks (AKA Chet Haze) Finally Hang Out!

Okay - I realize only a small-ish niche of people will care about this - but it IS my blog, and you should care so read up little honeys cause one day when these two are uber famous you'll be burnin' up this post through Googles and what nots.

Chelsea Peretti finally met and hung out with Chet Haze when Chelsea and fellow comedian Aziz Ansari were in Chicago doing a show. The two comedians reached out to Chet Haze on the Twitter with a special last minute invite, which he graciously accepted. Here are Chels n' Chet hanging on what looks like a post show awkward pizza date!!!!!!!!:

So who are these people?

Chelsea Peretti: is a hilarious female comedian and a writer for the NBC show Parks & Recreation. Her standup has been featured on Comedy Central and is good stuff. But that's not really why I care about her. This girl has has one of the funniest Twitter accounts on the planet (@ChelseaVPeretti) - and even the biggest name comedians, like Sarah Silverman, know it. I can't really explain why, you just have to check it out for yourself and then send me a book report on it. LOL remember book reports? Remember when that was your only problem? That ish had me cray for days. I spent more time searching for Cliff's Notes than it would've taken me to read the book!

Chester Hanks:Dude is the celebuspawn of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. But why should we care about the kid (<--- said in Snooki's, but if she's not available JWOWW's but if she's not available Deena's but if she's not available Sammi's who is always available's voice)? Cause he walked down a couple red carpets when he was little? And he has half the DNA of one half of the Bosom Buddies? Uh, NO - cause he's all kinds of hood and "street" now. Chet goes to Northwestern University in Chicago, and a year or two ago he did a cover of Wiz Khalifa's Black and Yelllow called White and Purple which are apparently Northwestern's school colors. You can check it out here because there are no words that could do it justice on this blog. Now he considers himself a pretty surrious hip hop artist ok y'all? I mean he is easy on the eyes, so there's that. Anyhoooo.....

------

So where do these two cross paths? Well, basically, Chelsea for A LONG TIME now via Twitter just randomly taunts slash loves on slash hilariously reaches out to Chet to the point that it has become a funny back and forth between the two of them. She'll RT his "profound" meaning of life-isms," that seem so deep when you're as young as Chet is (e.g. " My only fear is dying before I reach my Destiny. Life is so beautiful." or say some random thing like "Hey @ChetHaze, meet me at Ruth's Chris in 20" I know it's not funny here because I'm not giving it enough context. But it's pretty hilarious the way Chelsea does it. She's also featured some choice photoshops of the two of them together - here's one from her Twitter and blog sent by fan @erinutech:

That's all - was this an anti-climactic post? Mebbe. But mebbe not when these two are married then divorced but they have a few kids before the divorce but then like twenty years later -after Chet has like four more wives, he'll realize Chelsea was "the one," so at their son's graduation he'll say romantic stuff to her, but she's having none of it, but his charms finally break her down, and they almost get back together, but then Steve Martin is an architect working on her house and she starts falling for him at the same time, and then Chet is all hurt, and so are the kids because they want them back together too. Life is so complicated y'all.

It's The Freakin' Weekend

Woah guys - breaking news, according to ABCNews, Lindsay Lohan was found unconscious in her Marina Del Rey Ritz Carlton hotel room and paramedics were called just a little over an hour and a half ago. Yikes. Story developing.

Update 1: according to Extra - Lindsay was in the penthouse room of the hotel.

Update 2: Looks like she may be okay according to TMZ's most recent story - and that she's already back on the set of her Lifetime move Liz and Dick.

Says TMZ:

"Sources tell TMZ ... Lindsay had been shooting almost non-stop without sleep for 2 days and was staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Marina del Rey to get some shut eye. She has been shooting parts of her movie near the hotel."

The story goes on to say that:

"We're told someone became alarmed because they could not wake her up and the person called 911.Paramedics responded, and determined nothing was wrong with Lindsay."

Also according to the story, the paramedics left without taking Lindsay to the hospital.

Really, a non-story if you ask me. Twitter on the other hand, is already practically holding a vigil for the actress.

Adam Carolla Responds To Wendy Williams Calling Adam Her Worst Guest

Calls Wendy Williams A Transvestite 

Says She's Talentless

Image Source: Adam Carolla's Twitter @AdamCarolla

Image source: Wendy Williams' Twitter: @WendyWilliams

Oooooooh kids, this feud is heating up! Adam Carolla (Ace Man to his fans) had some choice words for Wendy on his daily podcast today! Now before I continue, I'd like to make two points:

1) If you don't know what the feud is about, check out our stories on Wendy calling Adam out after he appeared on her show earlier this week, and an update on some of the missing parts of her rant. It's okay, we'll wait.

2) I would also like to point out, for the record, that I am actually a fan of both Adam and Wendy - so please don't accuse me of pre-existing bias. I'm probably a marketer's nightmare because I don't fit into a perfect "demo." I watch women's talk shows - especially Wendy Williams - and reality TV, but I also am a huge fan of Howard Stern and Opie and Anthony. I listen to Adam Carolla's podcast regularly, in addition to Jay Mohr and Joe Rogen's podcasts on a semi-regular basis - just to name a few. It's important to make this point because this feud is getting nasty and polarizing. Does it mean I agree with either of these people wholeheartedly? Absolutely not. It's all shades of gray people. Learn all sides of an issue and you've earned your right to declare an informed opinion. Otherwise, keep it to yourself until you have all the facts.

------------

Okay - now that we got that straight - Adam Carolla, on his daily podcast today, addressed the "feud" with Wendy. The topic came up about a half hour into the show when his sidekick Alison Rosen kicked off the news segment by informing Adam that Wendy went off on him on her After Show. Adam apparently hadn't heard of it - according to him - but he did remark that his wife questioned him about the appearance right afterwards in their hotel room. Alison then went on to play both the scrubbed and un-scrubbed versions of Wendy's rant for Adam.

"I want to hear what this transvestite has to say," said Adam as Alison was introducing the two clips.

Um, with that as his opener, I had a feeling he was gonna play dirty from the start - like real gully, and I was right.

Here are some other choice remarks from Adam in the 6-8 minute segment dedicated to the feud [DISCLAIMER: I tried to be as accurate as possible transcribing - and I pulled out the most relevant, juicy quotes - but I can't guarantee 100% accuracy because I worked fast to get this to you ASAP!!! I don't think there are any errors - but if there are, they're minor. If you see anything wrong, let me know and I will update it]:

On Wendy's remarks about Adam's inappropriate attire:

You want a top hat and tails?...... She's a [EXPLETIVE] zero, she does nothing, she just sits up there and wants to talk to you about your shoes and the Kardashians and [EXPLETIVE].

Wow, wow, I didn't know.... I wore nice shoes!... What the [EXPLETIVE] was going on?......

Adam qualifying his upcoming rant

Couple of things, first off - alright this is gonna sound like sour grapes because she was talkin' [EXPLETIVE] about me and now I'm gonna talk [EXPLETIVE] about her.

Adam accusing Wendy of being talentless

She's a zero, she doesn't do anything she doesn't have any comedic chops she doesn't have a point of view, she doesn't have [EXPLETIVE] anything to say, it's all about hair and shoes and woop wooop and all that [EXPLETIVE].

Adam complaining about Wendy's questions and accusing her and her producers not reading the book first

She asked me if I grew up rich..... and she said did you grow up in the midwest?.... No, I grew up trying to get a job at Taco Bell.... She did not even bother to have.... usually what you do is you get your producers to skim the book for you, give you a couple beats on it - although I will say this in defense of proud black women, Gayle King on the CBS show, uh an hour earlier read the [EXPLETIVE] thing cover to cover, loved it, came in the green room and uh never stopped gushing about it.

Back to Wendy insulting Adam's outfit

I'm wearing the [EXPLETIVE] shirt I was wearin'..... it's actually the shirt that I'm wearing in the jacket of the book. I don't know why she [EXPLETIVE] teed up...

On the audience member comment

What happened was, was I,.... I walked onto the stage and there was a dude who was like 52, white as a ghost, looked like Bill O'Reilly and was standing .... dead nut center in a sea of chicks and gays, just [EXPLETIVE] hootin' his head off and I was like, who the [EXPLETIVE] is this guy? And what is he doin' here?

Adam's challenge to Wendy

Well listen, she's a talentless [EXPLETIVE].... obviously she's a talentless [EXPLETIVE] and by the way if she ever wants to [EXPLETIVE] bring it with me like if she ever wants to call in or come on or get it on, I will [EXPLETIVE] smash the [EXPLETIVE] out of her... she is a [EXPLETIVE] zero, there is no possible way she can keep up with me.... She'll never do it..... cause I'll [EXPLETIVE] ball her up like foil and kick her [EXPLETIVE] to the curb

Adam accusing Wendy of looking like a man

And people do think that she's a transvestite, like they don't know that she's a woman... I was like, RuPaul, put some weight on, that's what my whole take was.

---------

Okay -now that I've digested all of it, I think Adam hit way too under the belt. He didn't have to attack Wendy's looks to make his point. She insulted his choice of outfits, not the looks that he can't do anything about. In general, I think it's poor form to insult someone's weight, or looks etc... as your go-to comeback. It's just unnecessary. He could have gone right into the defense of his outfit, and complaining about her not reading the book and he would have made two fine rebuttals. But by saying the other stuff- it negates a lot in my eyes.

Now I do understand that Wendy is on a network show and she has to pick and choose her words in a way Adam does not. Back in her radio days, she too hit way under the belt. So there's that. Adam has uninhibited freedom of speech on his podcast - but Adam sometimes can step too over the line into controversial territory - he has been accused of being racist in the past, I believe on more than one occasion. Many times I don't agree with what Adam has to say, but having said that, his strong opinions and points of view have opened up my perspective on certain topics.

Adam is what he is and Wendy is what she is. My overall opinion hasn't changed much about either of them - since, as a fan, I already know what they're all about. It will be interesting to see if they ever cross paths again. My guess is no.

What Am I Doing Right Now?

Oh, just learning about the financial collapse from Boss Hogg:

Now I get it!

Poor Bethenny! Newly Minted Talk Show Host Battling Fleas, Rats and Roaches!

Though Bethenny Frankel's talk show has been a ratings hit thus far, her time living in Los Angeles hasn't been as lucky.

If you're like me and you check in with Bethenny's Twitter pretty regularly, you know that her precious aging pooch, Cookie, has been having a heck of a time with fleas in their new (probably leased?) L.A. home. Bethenny has been tweeting about the saga - they had to take the dog to the vet, wash her a lot in flea stuff, and even had the home and furniture sprayed or steamed or something. Here's poor Cooks getting a flea bath from Bethenny's husband, Jason Hoppy:

Awww poor Cooks!

As if the ongoing flea saga wasn't enough, on Monday, while Bethenny was out of town promoting the new show, her family was still in LA dealing with a new problem, and she tweeted:

Ahhhh rats????

She went on to respond to a fan that she will be moving:

Even more on the rat saga, Bethenny went on to tweet:

Ready for the picture (source: Bethenny's Twitter obvs)?

Ahhhhh! Bethenny also griped about how tough it was going to be to find new digs with her packed schedule:

Poor Jason was stuck with a bunch of drama to deal with back at the home base in L.A.:

And finally, are you ready for this? Poor Bethenny had to deal with a cockroach situation too! While she was still on the east coast promoting (somewhere around Philly because she said she'd be co hosting Good Day Philly the next morning) she tweeted this doozy about the surprise in her hotel!

Well, at least she had a sense of humor about the whole thing! Let's hope the creepy crawly situation calms down for the Frankel Hoppys for the rest of the summer! Good luck Bethenny!

Update on the Wendy Williams / Adam Carolla Situation

So, we brought you this story yesterday about Wendy Williams' confessed disappointment with Adam Carrola's appearance on her show. Well, we have a great update. (Read yesterday's story first before continuing)

Some YouTube genius apparently (or allegedly) slowed down a portion (or all) of the audio from the sped up version of yesterday's After Show above where Wendy "allegedly" goes off on Adam Carolla. And here it is! [UPDATE 6/15 - after you read this, check out Adam's response! It's juicy too!]:

Very juicy stuff indeed! In the event that the video is taken down, here's a transcript of what our girl Wendy allegedly (if it is indeed real and her - sure sounds like her though) said - and boy did she allegedly bring it! [DISCLAIMER: I TRIED TO BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE IN TRANSCRIBING, BUT I AM NOT GUARANTEEING 100% ACCURACY BECAUSE IT WAS DONE QUICKLY TO DELIVER THE BREAKING NEWS TO YOU ASAP!!!]:

------

And you know what? At least if you're gonna throw somethin' on like you're going to, you know, change the oil in your Studebaker, that you would at least bring it with.... Hold on, I'm out of breath and tryin' to curse him out at the same time.

I mean, at least if you're gonna dress like a bum to come to a daytime talk show... uh, your attitude-in' wouldn't be so ill-mannered. I mean, just from the, from the top of the show - and I wanted to like him, and I wanted to like him, I wanted to like him - and I thought that I would.

I don't like him, and he's not our kind of people. And how dare him tell me that the... the white man in the audience wasn't my kind of (indiscernible) ... what was he expecting to see when he came out here? The Soul Train line? Oh I get it, cause I'm a black woman... uh... the people who watch my show and make an effort to come to the audience are supposed to be only black people?

Oh, no I get it, if you're anything but a black woman, you're supposed to be a gay man. Oh, I get it. Listen, let me tell you wh... why'm I? (sigh) I'm sorry. Why am I mad at you? You know our audience is everybody. Uh, hetero, homo, old, young, black, white, Indian, A(indiscernible)... I, I mean our audience is everybody. That's how you build success. You can't, you know, Obama didn't win by just... [ENDS]

Yes, VERY juicy stuff indeed! Wonder if Adam will address any of it on his daily podcast. We'll have to see...

Joy Behar's Reaction At Mob Wives 2 Reunion

Instant Classic!

By the Reunion Part 2, the ladies had been fighting non-stop - espesh Drita and Ramona. This is moderator Joy Behar's face when Drita screamed across the couch (after they had been separated once again): "Ramona, after the show, we're fightin'! Period! Off camera!"

Guys, Can We Talk About Bethenny's Dancing?

Yes of course I have been watching Bethenny. And yes, the show holds my interest enough for me to keep watching... so far. I mean, she has to work out the kinks and needs more practice as a gab show helmer, but so far, eh - we'll see. It's not like we have a lot of choices during the summer so we'll give it the old college try.

WAIT - BEFORE I GO ON WITH THIS CURRENT STORY - CAN I JUST SAY I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THIS POST FROM LAST MONTH? Of course Bethenny rode the divorce story wave as publicity for her show. I think there's even a clip floating around from the first day of her show where she's like, no we aren't getting divorced. Yeah, the stories that were so conveniently timed were just redic rumors that you had absolutely nothing to do with. Mmmm hmmmmmm. Ah yes, here's the clip:

But what I really want to talk about is Bethenny's um, dancing - for lack of a better word. I mean, I kind of hesitate to consider it actual dancing. It's more of a stiff, herky jerky random gyrating thing she does that's the most unnatural thing of all things. Like, remember the Seinfeld episode all about Elaine dancing? Yeah, like that.

I first noticed the odd jerky movements in Bethenny's many talk show guest appearances. It's as if she waits in the wings trying to psych herself out to be the "people person" she's secretly not, and when they call her name, she hoofs it out there trying to play the role of a real free spirit. It's so wooden. Sooooo forced. And I feel embarrassed when I watch it. I like seriously avert my eyes for a second until it's over because it's sooooo odd. I blush for her. And NOW she's doing it on her show when she walks out to do the little monologue bit. Maybe she thinks she's Ellen? BETHENNY STEP AWAY FROM THE ELLEN PLAYBOOK. YOU CAN'T PULL THAT OFF. Oy, I'm putting a request out to the universe for Jason Hoppy to hop on over and stage an intervention(s).

Here's a good example of it. She dances for like the entire first half of her show. Where's George Costanza when you need him?

Wendy Williams Calls Adam Carolla Her Worst Guest

GO WENDY, GO WENDY

[6/14 UPDATE! After you read this story (and you have to read this one for it to make sense), read about new developments here, in our update post!]

[6/15 UPDATE:  It appears as though The Wendy Williams Show has chosen to remove the 6/13 After Show from YouTube - bummer]

--------

Seriously, ya'll know by now how much I love my girl Wendy Williams. I am such a devoted fan of her online "After Show" that I'll sometimes even watch it before tuning in to her actual show.

Today was one of those days. Ooooooh, and it was good. In one of her exhilarating-ly candid moments, Wendy let us in on what she REALLY thought about one of today's show guests, Adam Carolla.

I'm COMPLETELY ABSOLUTELY paraphrasing here, but she said something like: you all keep asking me who's my worst guest? Well, now you know, it's Adam Carolla.

Wendy went on to say that he disrespected her audience and her throughout the course of the interview. Then, it appeared as if Wendy went on and on complaining about the interview, but it played out in a "fast forward" type sequence where you can't actually hear what she's saying. My guess - and it's just a guess - about the reason for that is legal got involved and wouldn't allow the majority of it to air for liability reasons.

Also, her After Show producer and social media guru, Tristan, who is behind the camera (and has unofficially become the After Show's faceless sidekick since Wendy refers to him constantly) usually gives off the vibe that he is fiercely protective of Wendy and what she divulges. In yesterday's online episode, Wendy even revealed that she sends all her Tweets to Tristan first and HE decides what makes the cut. I guess she learned from the mistakes of countless celebs like Ashton Kutcher.

Anyhow, I ended up watching the TV episode afeterwards - and the Adam Carolla interview wasn't that bad. But I wasn't there in studio, you never know what may have happened behind the scenes. Adam did come out and make fun of one of Wendy's guests claiming something like the man's looks scared him, and that he didn't belong there. Weird. Wendy also confronted Adam about the fact he was the only Celebrity Apprentice cast off who refused to be interviewed by Wendy Williams the day after he was cut. Adam denied knowing he was even invited on her show which seemed like a weak response. Other than that, I got a bit distracted for the second half of the interview so maybe something else happened that I missed?

Check out the entire After Show above. Well - as mentioned in the update above, the video has been taken down.  However, someone did post the on-air show segment with Adam, here it is (until it is taken down too):

Now that I've watched the entire segment  Adam comes off as a bit classless and neanderthal-like, and Wendy comes off as a professional.  No man should never, under any circumstance, say to a woman he just met, "Use your brain woman," even in jest.  He was also unnecessarily cruel to Wendy's staff member about throwing the football too early.  It's live TV guy, deal with it.  

In the course of the 8+ minute segment, he managed to insult the audience, the staff and Wendy and the entire viewership with that crass football "trick" he did at the end.
