JO KOY: IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD

They say every dark cloud has a silver lining and standup comic turned Golden Globes MC, Jo Koy may have just found his. Nice guy Jo bombed as a first time host of the revamped Golden Globe awards. We felt bad as his jokes fall flat and the celebrities in the audience didn’t do a good job of hiding their disappointment. Our source at the show revealed that there were barely any laughs during Jo’s opening monologue but there was plenty of eye rolling. The only good thing to come out of this fiasco was that Jo’s ex, fellow comic Chelsea Handler reached out to him to offer words of support. The two haven’t had much contact since their surprise breakup in July 2022, but Chelsea wanted to comfort Jo, so she called him after the telecast to boost his spirits.

WHY DID CHELSEA HANDLER AND JO KOY SPLIT?

Her friends continue to speculate about the REAL reason Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy abruptly ended their once-promising romance. (She was obviously CRAZY about him!) Chelsea revealed on Brooke Shields’ Now What podcast that she and Jo’s decades long friendship seemingly ended along with their romance, hinting something about “accountability.” Chelsea’s been tight-lipped with many of her friends, only revealing that something happened that she just couldn’t accept. Some friends have pieced together that flirty Jo was chatting online with other women and while he thought they were innocent flirtations, Chelsea considered it a form of infidelity. Until Chelsea spills the beans on exactly what caused the split, that’s the most popular theory among some of her friends..

CHELSEA HANDLER’S EVER EXPANDING FAMILY

Chelsea Handler and the boyfriend she’s so crazy about, Jo Koy, are pictured here holding her adopted chows Bert and Bernice. She captioned the photo “From our family to Yours” but you should take it as a reminder about The Betty White Challenge. Betty would have turned 100 on January 16, and that’s the day that everyone is urged to donate at least five dollars to the shelter or animal charity of choice – and it would be nice to make this a habit every year! Bert and Bernice agree…

CHELSEA HANDLER CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT HER LOVE

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have rivals for the “Most Totally in Love” couple in Hollywood. Ben and Jennifer have been photographed kissing and snuggling in doorways and corners all over town. But Chelsea Handler and her comic boyfriend Jo Koy are definitely the most VERBAL about their romantic relationship. They can’t stop talking about how much they love each other! Chelsea admits “The last few years have been discouraging – but Jo renewed my faith in men.” Chelsea and Jo have been friends for YEARS, but one day she started looking at him differently. She said “I miraculously fell in love at 46- it can happen to anybody!” When they vacationed in Hawaii, Jo posted this photo on Instagram, describing Chelsea as “The woman of my dreams.”

Sean Penn 53, is making all the right moves when it comes to wooing his 38 year old girlfriend Charlize Theron. Charlize is a good friend of Chelsea Handler, so Sean arranged to take not only Charlize, but her mother Gerda and Gerda’s friend to see Chelsea’s standup performance of “Uganda Be Kidding Me” at the Forum. Charlize and Gerda are very close and Sean wants her mother to like him. Soon Sean and Charlize will be off to Africa where he will direct her in The Last Face with Javier Bardem. Charlize and Javier will play doctors who fall in love while doing humanitarian work in Africa. Frankly, we’re still not thrilled with this romance, but Sean IS keeping Charlize interested…

ANOTHER REASON TO LOVE CHELSEA HANDLER: NO REAL HOUSEWIVES ALLOWED!

Chelsea Handler has banned all of Bravo’s Real Housewives from appearing on her show Chelsea Lately. She even made it clear to Bravo’s Andy Cohen when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live that she wants nothing to do with the Housewives. “I’m not interested in anything they have to say.” Chelsea thinks the entire Housewives franchise is “sick” and “a terrible thing.” Apparently she’s not fond of vacuous, bickering women with to much plastic surgery.

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.

WHAT DO JENNIFER ANISTON AND GWYNETH PALTROW HAVE IN COMMON- BESIDES BRAD PITT?

Last month Justin Theroux threw a birthday party for Jennifer Aniston on the roof of the Chateau Marmont hotel and there was one unreported guest who slipped in unnoticed: Gwyneth Paltrow. Who knew that she and Jennifer were friends? It’s quite interesting because Gwyneth was once engaged to Brad and they ended up splitting up. (She was accused of cheating) Anyway, we’re thinking Brad must have bored her and Brad has admitted that he was rather dull and sluggish while married to Jen and that’s why SHE wanted out. So it makes sense that years after the fact, Jen and Gwyneth might be friends. It’s likely that their mutual pal Chelsea Handler introduced them. We would LOVE to hear them compare notes on Brad. Of course, neither has ever said anything bad about him.

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND CHELSEA HANDLER: OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Thursday is becoming American Idol night at Ago restaurant in West Hollywood. Ryan Seacrest often dines there after the show with Randy Jackson and sometimes Simon Cowell. Jennifer Lopez was also seen there Thursday with about ten people including – of course- her boyfriend Casper Smart and also Chelsea Handler. Jen and Casper snuggled up while Chelsea kept the table laughing. It’s funny to think of Jennifer and Chelsea as buddies because health conscious Jennifer doesn’t drink at all and party girl Chelsea’s QUITE the opposite.
