I never thought I'd be doing this, but I am officially calling securrity on Chelsea Handler. It makes me feel terrible, as I am her biggest fan! I bought her book the day it came out, read it in two days, and forced tons of my friends to read it. I also claim her as my inspiration and describe my writing style as similar to hers. Be that as it may, I was watching a recent episode of Chelsea Lately where her special guest was Busta Rhymes. I was sure she would tear into the fact that he is a known homophobe and at least make him feel guilty for calling gays out. Well, not only did she ignore the subject completely, but she flirted with him and made him feel like any of her other guests. While I applaud Chelsea for treating one of our opponents like anyone else, I am surprised that she didn't even knock him a little for his actions. This is not like her! She makes fun of everyone without discrimination. Being the gay positive social advocate she claims to be, I expected her to at least make him look good in gay eyes. I am not saying I wanted her to make him feel like crap, but she could have at least talked about it. People like Chelsea hold more cards than they think. She could have been the catalyst in Busta's new found gay appreciation, therefore boosting his album sales and bringing him back to true fame. I'm sorry Chelsea but this wasn't right. What... a letdown.
