NBC’s newest sitcom, ‘Are You There Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea’, hasn’t aired yet but it already dropped three of its main cast members for “creative reasons”.

Conan O’Brien versus Chelsea Handler…the war of numbers in late night cable, and for the first time, the blonde, snappy and sometimes (or should we say, most times) potty-mouthed bombshell surpassed the ginger NBC kick-out in ratings since he took his late-night quirks and smirks on cable via TBS.

Indeed no one is spared from the sporadic, sarcastic and piercing jokes of everybody’s favorite late night funny gal Chelsea Handler, but that doesn’t mean that no one takes offense from it.

In Chelsea Handler’s recent interview with The New York Times, she complained about the quality of today’s mainstream entertainment, particularly the ones being shown in the tube.

“We’re seeking out such grossness in human behavior and want such mindless entertainment. ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ and some of these other shows are more racist. Or ’16 and Pregnant.’ Getting rewarded for being pregnant when you’re a teenager? Are you serious? I mean, that makes me want to kill somebody.”

With her contract at E! about to expire by the new year, talks are now circulating whether the queen of late night talk Chelsea Handler will be jumping ship to a major network now that she has proven her worth not only as a bankable talk show host and a New York Times best-selling author, but also as an executive producer of a green-lit comedy series adapted from one of her popular published works.

Just when every boob tube fan thought that Roseanne Barr won’t be hitting the small screen again after ‘Roseanne’ closed more than 10 years ago, thanks to Chelsea Handler’s new show, she might just be back, taking a break from planting macadamia nuts in Hawaii to star in a major network sitcom this season.

Everybody’s favorite late night funny gal Chelsea Handler recently opened up to The New York Times about her own experience on teenage pregnancy, the media’s tendency to glorify it and her new beau.

In the article, the ‘Chelsea Lately’ host and also star of its spin-off ‘After Lately’, whose utter honesty is not only refreshing but is also her most lethal weapon, takes a hit on reality shows that she calls as “seeking out such grossness in human behavior”, like the teen reality show ’16 and Pregnant’.

If Chelsea Handler’s New York Times best-seller made a fan out of you, then you should definitely check out NBC’s latest offering for the upcoming 2011-2012 primetime season, ‘Are You There Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea’. The new comedy series adapted from the comedienne’s sophomore book will be among the Peacock Network’s new pilots, which is set to air in early 2012.

Not content on simply being known as Chelsea Handler’s older brother who was slowly plucked out of obscurity after appearing in the “Chelsea Lately” spin-off, “After Lately” as a series regular, Roy Handler now says he wants to have his own show and his own side-kick too.

If you think you’ve seen all the hilarious stops from Chelsea Handler and her gang of riotous comedians, then you ain’t seen nothing yet as the ‘Chelsea Lately’ spin-off, “After Lately”, will be bringing all the outrageous fun this Sunday for its season finale, in an attempt to prove a point to their home network that they deserve to be picked up for a second season.
