Chelsea Handler added a new layer to her Angelina Jolie diss: compliments for Jennifer Aniston. Take our Poll
Stand-up put-down
Did Chelsea Handler go too far?Nearly a week after the 35-year-old comedienne was videotaped slamming Jolie in a standup show, a Glamour interview featuring more digs at the Oscar winner was released.
In a Q&A with contributor Katie Couric, Handler was asked who makes her really laugh.
"Jennifer Aniston makes me laugh," Handler replied. "She's irreverent and hilarious, and she sends me really, really funny e-mails."
That gave Couric the perfect segue to discuss Handler's off-color comments about Jolie – in which the E! star called the actress "a homewrecker" and "a f---ing c--t."
"Yeah, I'm not a fan [of Jolie]," she told Couric. "She just doesn't come off to me as a sincere woman. She seems like a woman that you'd really want to avoid."
Handler, who had already defended her expletive-laden comments by explaining that the Jolie bit has been part of her repertoire for years, further told Couric she's "pretty clear about what I'm willing to say and the lengths I'm willing to go, and I think it's important to be politically incorrect.
"You don't want to be nasty, and you don't want to be malicious," she explained. "But it's OK — I mean, funny trumps everything in my mind."
"Look, I'm never going to please everybody. So I just have to be true to myself and think, OK, this is something I'd say in my living room, so it's OK to say on the show," Handler said. "Because I want my audience to truly know who I am."
And although the "Chelsea Lately" host also spoke about Jolie's 9-year-old son, Maddox, in that now infamous video clip, the comedienne told Couric there's some lines she won't cross.
"I think talking about children and their looks is not nice. Like, unattractive children. I don't do that," she revealed. "And I don't talk about people who are dying. I think that's inappropriate."
