No one will be safe from Chelsea Handler. The comedienne has already ripped on Angelina Jolie for adopting children from the third world, taking them to California for brief moments, then shipping them right back to where else, third world countries. She jokes that the kids wonder - where's Malibu, B!tch? Chelsea is ready to heckle. Us Weekly Magazine snags the funny gal for an interview and notes that she will be kicking off her second series for the E! tonight.

| Chelsea Handler to Rip Angelina Jolie, Heckle Hollywood With New Show |
The magazine reports that Handler will helm Chelsea Lately, a nightly chat fest recapping some of day’s most salacious celebrity scoop. Adding to the Jolie bashing, week ones guest list boasting bold-facers like K-Fed’s babymama, Shar Jackson, Scott Baio and Bai Ling, Lately is one show we’re anxious to stay up past our bedtime for.

Here's a Q&A courtesy of UsMagazine.com
Us: What’s the deal with Chelsea Lately? Chelsea Handler: We want to have really current about the news of the day and be able to talk about what happened on TV last night. We want people to do ridiculous interviews. I want the guy who stayed next door to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at some hotel in Italy or the concierge who’s willing to get fired after he gives us an interview.
Us: How did Paris Hilton's chat with Larry King rate? CH: Even what she wants to talk about she doesn’t know how to talk about, so I don’t want to waste people’s time by having interviews like that when people are promoting something. I don’t want my show to be a stop on their press tour, I want it to be a stop after their press tour is over, their movie opened and it tanked. I want people who are going to come on and have nothing to lose, because I’m not worried about people coming back twice.

Us: The show will fit well in E!’s summer lineup. CH: This is just what E! needed - some late night thing to zap off the rest of the day. All they’re doing is reporting on the silly things that happen in Hollywood all day and we’re missing someone closing the night out. Late night’s better for me so I can get away with a lot more. It’s a perfect marriage.
Us: Lastly, what types of topics are you most anxious to discuss? CH: I’m actually looking forward to a new wave of jackasses. With Lindsay, Paris and Britney, I’m running out of material. I’m ready for a Hayden Panettiere or Hannah Montana [Miley Cyrus] to step up to the plate. I’m bored and I’d like to move on!
Handler's show, "Chelsea Lately," premieres Tonight, July 16.
