Andre Balazs

CHELSEA HANDLER AND HER “MATCH” ANDRE BALAZS TOGETHER IN NEW YORK

Chelsea Handler KNOWS her boyfriend Andre Balazs is a handful, but she also knows he’s a great catch. The problem is, Andre owns hotels around the world and is constantly traveling, while Chelsea’s TV show is based in Los Angeles. It means they both have to compromise and fly somewhere to spend time together, which is okay with Chelsea as long as their efforts are both equal. Meaning: she won’t come running when he snaps his fingers, even if she WANTS to. Distance has split them up several times, but they are together now. Above, they’re strolling in New York and for some reason, Chelsea has no handbag.

CHELSEA HANDLER AND ANDRE BALAZS’ DAYS WERE NUMBERED, ANYWAY

It’s no surprise that Chelsea Handler and her boyfriend hotel mogul Andre Balazs have gone their separate ways. Andre has a lot in common with George Clooney – he was married once, but prefers being single and socializing with the world’s most attractive women. And like George, he’s charming and generous and is considered a “great catch.Uma Thurman dated him for a few years before she realized he was not marriage material. Chelsea, 36, dated Andre for almost a year so it was a long run but never had much of a future. We have a feeling they will sneakily get together a few more times before the split is final.

CHELSEA HANDLER ONE-UPS ARROGANT CHATEAU MARMONT HOSTESS

Ever since she started dating Andre Balazs, the owner of Chateau Marmont, Chelsea Handler has been getting VIP treatment at the Hollywood hotspot. The employees there are known for their haughty manners and one overdressed hostess attempted to seat Chelsea and her friends at an undesirable indoor table. Chelsea had a short conversation with the manager and was immediately led to the best table. The arrogant hostess was scolded, but not fired, and she won’t make THAT mistake again.

CHELSEA HANDLER DOESN’T WANT TO MAKE FUN OF HER CELEBRITY FRIENDS

Chelsea Handler gained fame poking fun at celebrities on her E! show Chelsea Lately, but now she’s announced that she wants to do something more “important” and NOT celebrity-centered. Translation: She is BECOMING a celebrity herself, and wants to be accepted as one of the group. As long as she’s teasing and tormenting celebrities as part of her act, they will politely avoid her. Also her new boyfriend Andre Balazs, is tight with many celebrities who probably regard Chelsea with caution. Consequently, Chelsea is moving over to the other side….

ANDRE BALAZS MIGHT RESCUE THE EERO SAARINEN TWA TERMINAL AT JFK AND WE LOVE HIM FOR IT


The best news we’ve heard in ages is the possibility that Chelsea Handler’s boyfriend, hotelier Andre Balazs, is considering building a boutique hotel at the empty Eero Saarinen designed TWA terminal at JFK. The Port Authority is hoping for just this kind of salvation for the architectural masterpiece. The space age terminal was completed in 1962, and reflected the optimism of jet travel of the future. Sadly, it has been empty for years, but is still unsurpassed as the most magnificent and seductive terminal in the world. Those lucky enough to have experienced the terminal when it was functioning felt their spirits soar as they walked into “the world of tomorrow.” (We confess we are very passionate about this structure.) Hopefully, if Balazs takes over, he will keep it as intact as possible. As you can see, it is incredibly photogenic.

CHELSEA HANDLER FORGOT ALL ABOUT 50 CENT WHEN SHE SAW ANDRE BALAZS

Chelsea Handler might be advised not to put 50 Cent in her rear view mirror too hastily. The two were linked until Chelsea showed up at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah with Uma Thurman’s exboyfriend Andre Balazs. Chelsea reportedly had her paws all over Andre, who owns seven hip hotels in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. And he has at least one girl in every port. The highly desirable Balazs (masters degree from Columbia Univ, among other things) enjoys attention from many women and makes it clear he has not intention of settling down with one. Chelsea’s not used to being just one of the pack.
