   Chelsea Handler makes fat joke about Kirstie Alley in recent televised interview

Actress Kirstie Alley has lost a lot of weight since she started on the latest season of Dancing With the Stars but, it would seem, no amount of weight loss can make her immune to fat jokes from Chelsea Handler.

The comedienne, who is now promoting her latest book, made an appearance on Joy Behar’s show. The topic of agreeing to go on DWTS came up – and Chelsea was very straight to the point about it, as the video below will confirm.

She would never in a million years accept the offer to be on DWTS, no matter how much money producers would throw at her, she says.

“Because I have a job,” she says of the reason for her refusal to be on the show, assuming producers would ever ask her.

She goes on to say that the program is so ridiculous that she “can’t even watch it,” a sentiment that Joy echoes, saying she “hates” it.

However, Chelsea did make an exception in the case of Kirstie Alley, when she tuned in to see her dance – jut not for the reason one might imagine.

“I mean, obviously I had to watch when Kirstie Alley was on because I had to see what was going to happen to the floor, but ... [Laughter] ... I just ... I can’t watch that show,” Chelsea says.

Also in the same interview, Handler again admits publicly she used to date rapper 50 Cent, stressing it was never anything serious because she was only “fooling around,” trying to see whether she still “liked chocolate.”

She ended the relationship when she realized she loved chocolate “but not in the long run.” She says she can’t talk about the man she’s dating now (hotelier Andre Balazs) because “he doesn’t’ want me to talk about him publicly.”

When George Lopez made a fat joke about Kirstie the other week, she made sure he apologized for it. So far, the Dancing star is keeping mum on Handler’s diss – check out the video below to hear it.
