Chelsea Handler: "I'm Probably a Handful"

Comedian Chelsea Handler might just be the hardest working woman in show business. She's busy with her hot late night show "Chelsea Lately," along with a book, a concert tour and charity events.

However, Handler managed to spend a little time with "Early Show" co-anchor Julie Chen recently to discuss her rise to fame.

Handler acknowledged right off the bat that she intimidates people -- especially men.

"I'm probably a handful," she said. "I probably come off like a real pain."

How is she so fearless?

"I just feel like I kind of just say what comes to the top of my head," she told Chen. "And it probably should be filtered, but I haven't been that successful in filtering it, and it's kind of working out for me."

For more with Handler, including her (fake) sex tape fame, her charity work and her favorite celebrity to satirize, click on the video below.

There's plenty of guys out there who would like to go out with Chelsea Handler, don't buy this "I probably run guys off" nonsense. It's all part of her act. She has never given any indication she wants to date, and she had a long-time relationship with Ted Harbert, so it's not like she's got some kind of personality flaw that would make her a witch to live with.

As for intimidating men, that's rubbish. She is just another female "shock celebrity" who is making money off the stereotype of strong woman, weak man, and her fans are dumb enough to fall for it.

I think she's funny and witty, I like watching her but I could see her running off guys in her life. Men don't like women too smart. I read where Saddam Hussein while he was in prison gave his American guard some advice on women , which i thought was actally some pretty good advice...even comming from him. He said, pick a woman who's not too smart, but not too dumb. Women may not understand but men will.
