These are photos from last night’s Human Rights Campaign gala held in LA. Chelsea Handler was the hostess of the gala – for an organization that preaches tolerance and acceptance. FOR REAL? The Human Rights Campaign might want to rethink that one. Not only is Chelsea not the even close to the right “face” of the HRC, this is what she wore. To a gala. Where she was the hostess. A beachy coverup dress and those biker boots. WTF? I sometimes feel like Chelsea is like the 50-something alcoholic mother of a teenager, and the mom is constantly trying to (drunkenly) seem younger, and “wear what the kids are wearing.” Also: for all of the Jolie-haters who constantly complain about The Vein – look at Chelsea’s forehead vein. That vein is trying to out-vein Angelina’s.
Also at the event: Joe Manganiello. It’s always nice to see a straight actor with a “butch” image supporting the HRC. Joe’s also really tight with Matt Bomer. I think they went to school together… and now I’m thinking about what it would look like if Bomer and Manganiello were getting crazy on each other. HOT.
And here’s Charlize, fresh from WonderCon. She received the HRC’s Ally for Equality Award. I feel like Charlize wins a gay-rights award every other year – she’s a huge HRC and GLAAD supporter. As for her style in this black Acne dress – if Charlize hadn’t just adopted a baby, I would be suggesting that she’s pregnant. Seriously – this dress was made for pregnancy rumors. Maybe Fassbender’s the father. Or maybe Alexander Skarsgard. Or maybe BOTH!

Shouldn’t the host be human?
Bad choice for her and her outfit.
LOFL-I spit coffee all over. Handler was a bad choice.
I like Charlize’s outfit. It looks comfortable. She can wear almost anything and look amazing.
LMAO!!!!
LOL!! Beautifully stated Brin 😀
ohh snap!. ROTFLMAO…… Yep she has to be human first before she can be a humanitarian, b!tch doesn’t even know the meaning! I despise this woman with passion…as well as her bff Aniston!
Chelsea Handler is nasty. Not a good choice for an event like that and she can’t dress herself to save her life!
She makes far too many racist “jokes” (I don’t find her funny at all), and she should have turned down this invitation. Her outfit reminds me of the puffer jacket and knit ski cap (with a pompom on the top!) that Dick Cheney wore to an Auschwitz memorial a few years back–totally inappropriate and almost insulting to the cause.
Why would she turn down an invitation to host for the HRC?
If she did she would be vilified.
The choice of host is a reflection on the HRC, no one else.
Obviously the HCR need a better PR team.
There is no need to rag on Handler for grabbing onto this opportunity to improve her PR, as any other celeb would do.
Edit: Just a thought, maybe the HRC couldnt get a more appropriate high profile celeb to host.
HRC just got a new president so I am wondering if the host choice was pre-change. Let’s hope for the best for now.
CH is a piece of trash, who in their right mind invited her to host this event? A college kid? She goes against everything the event stands for.
It could be a choice that in itself is a human rights violation.
i like chelsea , she is funny…
you dont have to take her too serious
is she also a hipster now lol, cant wait for the tabs to say its theroux influence lol
Ick, not me. I tried to like her a while back, but found I just can’t. Her co-hosts are funny though. I think she tries to be like Joan Rivers or Kathy Griffin, but just come across mean, and normally looks cheap to me. My hubby has a different phrase for it. (Rode hard and put away wet)..Yikes! Harsh, but she seems like she embraces that.
who on earth decided to hire Handler as a hostess?Then again – it might the best for an organization that “preaches tolerance and acceptance”. I mean – if you can accept and tolerate Handler, you can accept pretty much everything in your life.
Charlize does indeed look pregnant.
I think she has just gained a little bit of weight (judging by her arms).
At first glance, I thought those boots were part of some gag or something. Does she ever not look like she is either totally ripped or trying to recover from a bender?
What in the world were they thinking? Other than being representative of all things loud, crass, and alcohol soaked, when has this chick every said anything about supporting human rights? Poor choice with horrible fashion sense.
Charlize looks lovely & comfortable. I wish she had a ASkars baby baking, but I doubt it.
I watch Chelsea’s show and she has often said she would wear her biker boots all the time if she could. I thought she was joking as walking the red carpet and hosting her show, etc would seem to require her to at least put on heels for a short time. Apparently she wasn’t kidding!
This has to be a joke! She is crass, rude, racist…doesn’t the first requirement have to do with treating people with respect? What were they thinking? They should have picked Charlize!
By the way, she looks busted. Never noticed before how tiny and clse set her eyes are. The less said on the outfit, the better. Fugly!
I’m not aware of a huge gay following but she might have one. *shrug*
WTF? They could’ve picked Charlize instead, she’s even dressed better than this drunk looking garbage person. She’s looking more like the Courtney Love of comedy…..
I am 40 yrs old and I look 10 years younger than this leather face bottle blonde on my worse day
Who on earth decided to hire Handler as a hostess for such event? When again – it’s a best way for an organization that “preaches tolerance and acceptance” to supply evidence for exactly that.
I can’t blame Chelsea for being a famewhore and saying yes but what idiot @ the HRC thought that was OK?
Agreed. The person/s that are responsible for Handler hosting should be fired. Handler is a boozy famewhore so of course she said yes. She probably thought they’d have an open bar.
So just because someone wears a loose comfortable dress she’s pregnant? I would wear the same if there was good food and I wanted to eat a lot!
One of the worst possible choices. She is a vile bully.
A great big bully who needs knocked down several notches. She needs to be the poster child for a walking abortion clinic.
Does anyone else get the feeling that Chelsea really struggle with her weight? She goes up and down so much and she wears baggy shapeless clothes to hide it.
I think it might be the vodka
Kaiser –
My cousin and his wife had fertility issues so they started the process for adoption in China and it took years. During this time they never used birth control even though they weren’t actively trying to conceive. But to their surprise the wife got pregnant. So she was 4 months pregnant when they officially adopted their daughter from China.
Long story to say that Charlize could be pregnant. She could have started the adoption process and in the meantime pulled a January Jones.
Sounds like Charlotte York’s plot line in the first Sex and The City movie.
Chelsea looks strangely younger than usual….her face is kinda shiny and greasy though….Also I just see a slight vein on her forehead, nothing bad……that’s not to say Angelina’s more prominent vein is a bad thing. It’s all genetics (she had the vein when she was extremely fit and healthy in her mid 20’s)…also in the new Dark Shadows Trailer Eva Green has that vein.
But yeah, wtf….freaking Chelsea is the host o_o.
Well, although I love Charlize (she’s so gorgeous)…she might want to rethink her friends…Charlize, Chelsea,Reese,and Jennifer all bombed at the box office…although I guess This means War isn’t exactly a bomb, just a huge underperformer.
What do you mean Charlize bombed at the box office? Young Adult did not bomb. It was made on a 12 mil budget and made back its budget within the first month and is set to pass 25-30 million soon. The film- thought to have been impossible to make because of how unlikeable the protagonist is- has done perfectly alright. The fact that critics adored it also helped.
The other women- yes they had bombs both financially and critically. Charlize is the only one in that “group” who had a recent film that did well both financially and critically. It’s not going to be making Twilight numbers here but for a very small budget it has done well.
first of all, her as a host for this awesome event – UGH. AND WHAT THE HELL IS SHE WEARING? those boots! that dress! holy crap.
Don’t know why Chelsea gets so much haterade. Kathy Griffin is actually more offensive, as is just about any male comedian you could name.
Because she attacks innocent children.
Made racist jokes about Pax/Zahara, called Shiloh a D*ke, said the Jolie-Pitt twins had down syndrome (which they obviously don’t), called Angelina a c*nt etc.
It is very possible to be funny w/o being vile, such as Ellen DeGeneres.
Thank you sista! I dont get “funny” K. Griffin either, she is just trying SO HARD IMO. Chelsea seems to be calm compared to Kathys constant barks and nervous comments. I just can’t.
Very rough looking woman. I think it’s safe to say that she didn’t have a stylist to help pick out this strange ensemble. No stylist would suggest ankle biker boots on such stumpy legs and odd length dress. She admitted on her show once that she wears hair extensions. My guess is she is trying to look like Reese Witherspoon’s older, less attractive sister?
I just realized something – all these official photos are ‘shopped. Imagine how had she looks, IRL?
What in the name of WTF is this broad wearing on her feet??? She just looks ridiculous – like she threw on her boyfriend’s boots to run to the outhouse. The only saving grace is that the boots are so awful they distract your attention away from the ugly dress.
Those boots just scream “Mah Drankin’ shooz”. CH looks better than usual, oh the magic of photoshop…
Charlize looks gorgeous, but that dress is yuck…all she needs is a veil, and she’d be dressed just like a nun. Although, if she were pregnant…perfect Halloween costume!
What in the world was that coke head thinking. She looks like someone on a late night Walmart run.
Ha! Perfect! I would totally throw that on for late night Walmart!
HAHAHAH! I just spit my beer all over my computer; I will just have to help myself to another.
To be fair, I have seen trailer trash preggo ladies with ten kids better put together and I lived in dirty south.
Chelsea Handler is not merely a bad choice. She’s most likely the worst choice.
Did her stylist get her clothes and accessories from Forever 21? What a mess. . .
Coming from someone who makes racist comments about children from impoverished countries, this is a sick joke! Handler is to human rights as Osama Bin Laden was to Christianity.
I feel like someone representing a human rights organization in any way should display a modicum of decorum, but i guess that’s just me and my stuffy old-lady ways, thinking that human rights as an issue should be treated with much seriousness. Maybe humor could indeed be a powerful weapon in their defense, but even then they shouldn’t have gone with her, cuz she’s more nasty than funny.
Yeah, RIGHT?! Seriously, I mean….the words “Human Rights Organization,” and “Chelsea Handler??!!”
Is this a joke gone bad? Someone left their brain at home when this decision was made, seriously.
Cant stand this bitch..She is one of the few people in entertainment industry (even though i havent met anyone who is actually entertained by her) who is hated by one whole country (Serbia)…Basically she has 11 million people hating her guts in unison.ugh…
this b!tch disgusts me. Granted most “comedians” do but her especially.. you do NOT make racist and homophobic remarks about CHILDREN!
whoever chose her should lose their job. Seriously.. she is as far from tolerance as the east is from the west.
