Chelsea Handler: I'm always giving people unsolicited advice
The 50-year-old star hosts a podcast called 'Dear Chelsea', and the comedian believes she's perfectly suited to the format.
Speaking at the 2025 PHM Healthfront Conference in New York City, Chelsea explained: "I am always giving people unsolicited advice. I always have been, 'What if people actually called in and asked for advice for their life problems?'"
Chelsea previously hosted 'Chelsea Lately', a late-night comedy talk show that ran from 2007 until 2014.
The TV show saw the comedy star interview a string of well-known celebrities, but Chelsea has always had a desire to "talk to real people".
She explained: "When they said I would want you to do a podcast. I was like, yeah, I know, but everyone has a podcast. And I had just come out of a two-year, serious stint in therapy and I thought, 'How can I do something where I'm talking to real people, not celebrities?'
"I'm tapped out with that. I need to talk to real people."
Meanwhile, Chelsea recently joked that she wants to have "lots of men all over the world".
The comedian has previously dated the likes of 50 Cent and Jo Koy - but Chelsea is currently single and feeling "free".
Speaking to 'Extra', Chelsea quipped: "I want lots of men all over the world in different areas … I want a port in every call.
"I got through the time in your life where many people decide to get married and have children. I look at, like the 20s to the 40s, as a tunnel. I came out of that tunnel. I don't have a child and I don't have a husband. Now, I'm free and can do whatever I want."
Chelsea turned 50 in February, and she celebrated the landmark by skiing in a bathing suit and then posting a photo of herself on social media.
The TV star said: "I know I've skied topless, I know I have, but I just wanna say that I haven't done a topless video in years because my nephews asked me not to because their friends at college were, you know, seeing it. But I do wear a bikini top, but I just like to ski in my bathing suit and just be free to demonstrate freedom to women … what you can do and how much fun you can have when you listen to who you are."

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson's chemistry 'just grew naturally'
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson "just like each other". The 58-year-old actress has been romantically linked to her Naked Gun co-star in recent weeks, and while she hasn't confirmed or denied the rumours, Pamela admits that they have a great chemistry. She told Extra: "We just like each other." The Hollywood duo loved working together on the new comedy movie, and Liam admits that their friendship grew very naturally. The 73-year-old actor said: "It just grew naturally. We didn't force it, just allowed it to grow." Pamela also relished the experience of starring in a comedy movie. The actress explained: "It was so much fun. It was such a joy to go to work and to work with such talented people and the director, Akiva Schaffer, he's just a comedic genius. "It's interesting, it's very serious and very hard work, but it's all about timing. We had a good time." Earlier this month, meanwhile, Pamela observed that all actors need to show "courage" in their careers. The movie star actually feels she performs at her best whenever she's "terrified", like when she sang in The Naked Gun. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Pamela explained: "You have to have courage. You have to have courage to be an actor at all. But that's my happy place is when I'm terrified. "I actually really enjoy singing. I love being on stage … The feeling is so rewarding because I feel like we repress so much of ourselves, and especially as an artist, and I love to write and journal and write poetry, but performing and working on a movie is another way to express yourself because everything is loaded." Pamela revealed that she actually leaned on her own life experiences for her Naked Gun performance. The actress - who rose to international stardom by playing 'C.J.' Parker in Baywatch in the 90s - said: "All the words to that song, I'm thinking of personal experiences in my life, and so I'm able to get it out even in a crazy scene like that. So it's not just spitting out the words, it's performing some of your innermost thoughts."

Keke Palmer: You should never be afraid to evolve
Keke Palmer wants her son to know that "happiness is his to take". The 31-year-old actress - who has Leo, two, with her ex-partner Darius Jackson - wants her baby boy to know that he "can always become someone new". Asked what she hopes Leo learns from her, Keke told Extra: "Just to never be afraid to evolve. I think we get so caught up in our storylines, and even when they're tough, we have a hard time getting out of them, but you can always shape-shift. You can always become someone new and let your happiness, let your joy and your peace, be that guiding force. "I want him to know that happiness is his to take, but we got to take it, you know?" Meanwhile, Keke recently revealed that she found it "really, really hard" to regain her pre-pregnancy figure. The Hollywood star told People: "You have to get back to yourself after the baby. It's really, really hard. "Anybody with kids knows sometimes it can take three, four, five years. It really wears your a** out." Keke revealed that Pilates has been key to her workout routine. The actress shared: "I'm a Pilates girl down, I don't care. It's the Pilates. And I need people to know it doesn't matter what that scale says. It matters about the muscles. That's what I love about Pilates. It don't matter what your size is, your body is going to be snatched with Pilates." Keke combined her workout routine with a healthy, balanced diet. She said: "If you could find a dance class, Pilates class, a yoga class, a cycling class, whatever class that you like that can happen at the top of your day before you go to work, it will do wonders. The consistency of that will do wonders. And then I'll say, make your own food. I know, I know it's a lot. Nobody wants to do the meal prep s***, but making your own food and knowing what you put in it, it does wonders. "Making your own meals, keeping it consistent with some type of activity. It really does transform your body. And then fun stuff. Sometimes we forget that everything don't have to be a serious workout. What if I just go play tennis or pickleball with my girl? What if we just go swimming for a day? You know what I'm saying?"

Eddie Murphy hails Pickup co-star Pete Davidson
Eddie Murphy has "a lot in common" with Pete Davidson. The 64-year-old actor stars alongside Pete, 31, in The Pickup, the new action-comedy movie, and Eddie has revealed that he relished the experience of working with the former Saturday Night Live star. Speaking to Extra, Eddie explained: "I was looking forward to working with him. "I was a fan already from SNL, and we have a lot in common now. We both started doing stand-up when we were really young, and we both started Saturday Night Live when we were really young, and we both lost our dads when we were really young. So, we had a lot in common, and he's a new-generation SNL. So, it was exciting. "I love working with SNL alumni. I feel like a kinship to all of them." Pete is actually expecting his first child with Elsie Hewitt - but Eddie hadn't offered him any parenting advice. The Hollywood star said: "I didn't give him any parenting advice. "You know, being a parent is kind of, you know, every kid is different ... You kinda just have to go in there and figure it out on your own. The good thing is that nature has wired us to do the right thing. I think it takes more effort to be a bad parent. "If you love your child, you gotta go out of your way to be a bad parent. And doing the right thing just comes natural. So, I didn't give him any advice.' Meanwhile, Pete recently claimed that his impending fatherhood has given him a new perspective on life. The movie star explained that he's experienced a "weird sense of calmness" and is no longer looking to his career for fulfilment. The comedian - who shot to stardom on Saturday Night Live, before turning his focus towards the movie industry - told People magazine: 'I'm just excited to take care of the little one. The second I found out the news, I was like, 'Oh wow, what I do is just a job.' "I realised I was kind of basing my happiness on work, which is ridiculously unhealthy. So it gave me this weird sense of calmness, where this is just a job and now I have someone to do it for." The King of Staten Island star is looking forward to his child enjoying playdates with four-month-old Saga, the daughter of his friend Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox. He said: 'We're going to have awesome play dates. Yeah, that's [going to be] a cool play date."
