Publisher Description
In these personal essays, the #1 bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood.
Family moments are fair game, whether it's writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. It's open season on Chelsea Handler's love life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend (using a ravioli, a fake autopsy, and the Santa Monica pier) to adopting a dog so she can snuggle with someone who doesn't talk. And everyone better duck for cover when her beach vacation turns into matchmaking gone wild.
Outrageously funny and deliciously wicked, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang is good good good good!
"Chelsea Handler writes like Judy Blume, if Judy Blume were into vodka..."—Jennifer Weiner
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Comedienne, talk show host and daring author Handler (Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea) indulges her fans with a new compilation of shockingly direct essays, from which she emerges as a scheming farceur with an expansive range of practical jokes and winning sarcasm, pulled off beautifully against (and with help from) her closest friends and family (including her boyfriend, the CEO of the E! television network that employs her). Handler spins a deliriously sticky web of running jokes while suckering the gullible, again and again, with made-up stories of her transgendered friend, a ludicrous movie deal, and her infamous personal pilot. Never shy, Handler finds room for even more irreverent honesty regarding sex-including her earliest encounters with male genitalia and with "the feeling"-and also lets readers in on her family life, including a family dinner that ends with her missing brother found intoxicated, naked, and celebrating on a dock in the early morning hours. Whether Handler is plotting to get her father committed or convincing her dog never to "shadoobie" in her presence, her essays are packed with enough laugh-out-loud moments to rival a first-rate stand-up act.

Customer Reviews
Oh wow!
Although I liked "hello vodka, it's me Chelsea" a little better this is still laugh out loud, roll on the floor, pee your pants funny! Oh Chelsea, you have one great sense of humor and a great writing voice. If you wrote the wall street journal I would read it!
It's Been A While
...since I've laughed this hard reading a book. It's a bit short, but I managed to read it on a flight from Singapore to the States. Twice I had attendants asking me if I was ok. To them it looked as if I was crying. To those with the one-star reviews, if you don't know Handler and her refreshing non-PC style, get over it.
Hilarious!
I hate reading, but I could not put this book down. It is hilarious (if you like raunchy humor, which I do)! I'm heading straight over to read her first book!
