Chelsea Joy Handler (born February 25, 1975) is an American actress and comedian. She currently has her own television program, Chelsea Lately, on the E! Cable Television Network.

Chelsea Handler also appeared in her own comedy series on E! titled The Chelsea Handler Show. Chelsea was a co-host on The View on August 2, 2007. In 2007, Handler is performing with the Hour Stand-Up Comedy Tour across the U.S.. Her stand-up has been televised on Vh1's Love Lounge, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, and HBO's broadcast of the Aspen Comedy Festival. Chelsea Handler was the host of the highly anticipated Fox show "On The Lot." The show, produced by Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett, is a competition for aspiring filmmakers who are vying for a chance at stardom. She was replaced after one episode by former Robin & Company entertainment anchor, Adrianna Costa. Starting in July 2007, Handler is starring on her own half an hour latenight comedy series on E! titled Chelsea Lately. This series places Handler against a slew of male dominated talk shows, and the comedienne will offer a different take and draw upon her female nature in her programming.

Handler dates Ted Harbert, who, as the CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group, oversees E! Entertainment Television.

Dr Lloyd M Krieger, founder and medical director of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, is king of the Mummy Makeover in Beverly Hills. His office is a stone's throw from Gucci, Valentino, Armani and Dior, but his cure for post-pregnancy blues is a lot more permanent than a new handbag or a pair of shoes. He can offer a trimmed, tightened body for women feeling saggy and baggy after giving birth.

Dr Krieger's Mummy Makeover generally comprises a tummy tuck and some liposuction to the thighs. Two-thirds of his patients also have some breast work - a lift or small implant to firm up the breasts. His patients are mostly young career women who are willing to spend between £7,000 and £13,000 to look the way they used to. "Pressure is now on for everyday people to look good. It's self imposed pressure; women want to have families and careers and look good," says Dr Krieger.

"They no longer want to make the choice to have a family or a career or look good. They want to have all those things, including their shape. It's more a reconstructive procedure since they want to go back to what they had. They say, 'I used to be able to wear those clothes'." His "Mummy Makeovers" are done six to 12 months after birth. "The patient should be in stable shape. It's better to lose the baby fat first," he says. "So people who look great six weeks after have not had Mummy Makeovers."

The Mummy Makeover is not longer just a celebrity luxury. Last year, 325,000 American women in their 20s and 30s opted for it.
