Heather McDonald Blindsided by Chelsea Handler

Good news for Heather McDonald: She has landed a new show at TLC with Margaret Cho called All About Sex premiering in January, TMZ reports. However, McDonald wouldn't have needed a new gig if Chelsea Handler hadn't pulled the plug on her long-running E! show Chelsea Lately. McDonald was blindsided by Handler's move to Netflix, and was not given a heads up from Handler that the show was ending.

    Well, good for her, but my gawd, what a shit-tastic thing to do, not telling her the show was ending. SMH

    I know there are Handler haters about, but I don't buy this.

      Lifts hand up! I love Chelsea. Her books are immensely readable, and I like her pseudo bitchy sense of humour. And yes, I also watched (and liked) her show Are You There Chelsea with Laura Prepon (who was horribly miscast). The material there was funny and good.

    Who is Heather Macdonald? Well, whoever she is, I think this blind isn't telling the whole story. Chelsea is well known for taking care of family, friends and staff. No way I could see her dumping on her shows staff like that. Besides, Chelsea's Netflix show isn't starting for another year, so what the hell are they supposed to do in the meantime? Bills gotta be paid.

    I'm sorry but "sometimes" in business you gaveto keep your mouth shut. and not only for the sake of yourself, who knows all of the back story-if this is even close to truth.

    How isn't his even possible??? Nothing, and I mean NOTHING about Chelsea Lately coming to an end was a surprise to anyone. Hell they talked about it for MONTHS prior. It was no secret the show was ending. So unless Heather McDonald is both deaf and blind, she knew what was coming.

    Why was Heather even surprised?

    I don't think Handler was honest about who she was taking with her. She took quite a few of her old writers/drinking buds to Netflix. McDonald probably thought she was going too.
