Publisher Description
Chelsea Handler is a woman on a mission. She's smart, sassy and not afraid to speak her mind. From an early age Chelsea knew exactly what she wanted and even in the trickiest of situations, she's never one to pass up an opportunity. Like the time she convinced her third-grade class she was shooting movies with Goldie Hawn on location in the Galapagos just to get them to
like her, or when she spent the night in a women's prison, contemplating an affair with the inmate who killed her own sister. Chelsea it seems, has done it all, and a whole lot more ...
Any mishaps along the way just spur Chelsea on further. Whether she is being dry-humped by a sumo masseur, dumped by her Big Red experiment or kicked out of a London restaurant with her pants down, Chelsea is always armed with an unshakeable disregard for rules and is incapable of leading a quiet life.
Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea is an entertaining memoir-in-stories that will have you rolling around with laughter.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the age of nine, comedian Handler (host of her own cable talk show, Chelsea Lately) was already making up stories about all-night contract negations with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell to get out of English assignments-but then, what would one expect from a girl told by her parents, a week before her fourth birthday, to plan her own party? This funny, whip-smart memoir, the follow-up her sex-centric essay collection My Horizontal Life, chronicles Handler's ridiculous, gamboling life thus far, from her elementary school days-hounded by older girls for being less than wealthy, stuck at 12 babysitting an unruly 14-year-old with a wicked sugar addiction-to her sexually hyperactive, cocktail-swilling grown-up years. Handler's hard-headed sense of humor and maniacal wit get her through a number of difficult situations, including incarceration for a DUI, threatening to beat up a snotty teenager, and facing a breakup with one man while hiding another under her bed. But Handler also demonstrates an attuned sense of self and a keen eye for those around her that occasionally elevate her musings from mere hilarity to genuine poignancy-but not to worry, the only tears readers will shed are from laughter.
Customer Reviews
Huge LOL
I had this in paper back but I had to buy It again so I can read it when I want
The best book I have ever read!
This book, along with 'Chelsea, Chelsea, Bang Bang' and 'My Horizontal Life' have been re-read again and again, and this is quite an accomplishment with my extensive library of books, especially comedies, as these are the hardest to read again, once you have had the laugh from the joke.
However, these books are hilarious. About Chelsea Handler's life as a fun and promiscuous single woman in her mid 20's up until now. I read 'Are you there Vodka? Its me, Chelsea' first, so there's no need to read them in order, but it does fit better with the events, such as pranking her parents when she was 5, talking about being a teenager and her many ONS.
A funny read, seriously recommended.
Hello Vodka, it's me Chelsea
Hilarious, it might be that I relate to her, like many will. Had me laughing my way to a tan on holiday
