WIT & Whimsy chats with Chelsea Lately's Heather McDonald

WIT & Whimsy chats with Chelsea Lately's Heather McDonald

By on December 14, 2009 in Celebrities, Shopping

Thanks to Mastercard’s genius little tool called the MasterCard Priceless Gift Finder, we got the opportunity to speak with one of our favorite funny gals ever, Heather McDonald of E!’s Chelsea Lately. You all know how we feel about Chelsea!

Here’s the down-low on what we chatted about with Heather!

How did you meet Chelsea?

Many years ago, Chelsea and I were at an open mic at a bar in Westwood Village. We totally hit it off and began to see each other at lots of auditions. When I found out she was looking for a writer once her show launched, I applied. Given that I had been writing material for the Wayans brothers, I figured this would be way more fun and easier to watch in the end!

Who are your favorite people to join you on the roundtable of Chelsea Lately?

Well everyone is totally great. Chris Franjola is hilarious. I love Guy- we share an office so we’re together all the time. Sarah Colonna is always fun to steamroll.

Tell WIT & Whimsy readers what you are doing with MasterCard?

As the holidays roll around, Mastercard created this great online tool called Priceless Gift Finder. You answer a few questions and Mastercard will make gift recommendations for all those on your list. I mean, my mom would have gotten another pair of slippers but instead she’s getting an awesome DVD set of Hitchcock films. I never would have thought of that!

What’s at the top of your wish list this year?

I saw some cool thing that lets you do karaoke from your iPod. I think that would be a ton of fun with my family. [Editor's note: We're thinking Heather was talking about something like this.]

Favorite part about the Mastercard Priceless Gift Guide?

I think it’s way easier than going to the mall and braving the crowds. Plus, let’s be honest, I just end up shopping for myself.

The Netflix of reading?

The Netflix of reading?

By on December 2, 2009 in Books

We fashionistas and beauty mavens have had a great year of fun reads including books by Nina Garcia (whom we love) and Chelsea Handler’s hilarious and TMI reads.

A service we just learned about, BookSwim functions as the Netflix of books or an electronic version of a library that lets you check out books, read them & then send them back. Ah, we love such smart little services.

And get this: for the holidays, BookSwim is offering $10 gift certificates to everyone to get them started with the service. You can even print as many $10 gift certificates as you’d like to insert into a card or you can email them to a friend.

And our favorite part of the service? Free shipping on all your rentals.

We Love Ms.Chelsea

We Love Ms.Chelsea

By on July 9, 2009 in Celebrities

Many of you have read of our love for the one and only Ms. Chelsea Handler. Well this week we’ve moved onto being slightly obsessed with her. We’ve got her show, Chelsea Lately on E!, recording on the DVR (guaranteed to have you laughing out loud) and we’ve got her & Chuy’s blog Inside Chelsea on our Google Reader which also has us in total fits.

Now if you haven’t read the joy that is Chelsea’s best-selling novels, heed this warning: YOU ARE MISSING OUT! You’ll need to stiffle your laughter she’s so witty & outrageous, but more importantly you’ll get to know Chuy aka Chelsea’s assistant, but better known as her “little nugget.” Chuy’s commentary on their blog is priceless. Some of our recent favs from him include:

I Take the Cake

I want someone to make a wax figure of me like they have in the wax museums and at ms Chelseas next birthday party we can use my wax figure as a giant candle on her cake what a great idea but I will probably forget it

…AND

Clever Nugget

I was thinking about that movie transformers and if I could transform myself into something cool I would like to be a taco truck so if I ever wanted a taco it was already inside of me.

…

We love it. And then there’s Chelsea and her out there commentary too good as always:

Hair-Don’t

Kate Gosselin has spoken out about that ridiculous haircut that she’s sporting. She claims that her stylist gets calls from all across the country inquiring about it. I actually do believe that. I also personally put in a call to her hair stylist, to ask her what the hell she was smoking. And does she have any left?

Start loving Chelsea STAT. We doubt you’ll regret it!
