Didn’t see this one coming. But Chelsea Handler recently said that she and gangsta rapper/actor 50 Cent were once a romantic item.
The sexy, hilarious 36-year-old E! talk show host told interviewer Piers Morgan last week, “We dated, very casually.” (That is, she and 50 Cent, not she and Piers.)
Of course, it shouldn’t have shocked the planet since Chelsea and 50 Cent had been seen partying together, and once event Tweeted a photo of themselves in the sack. (Although for seven months, they vehemently denied being anything more than platonic pals.)
“He’s a very sweet, nice guy,” she said of the 35-year-old rapper (born Curtis James Jackson III). “I was sampling, kind of, the atmosphere, seeing what was out there, and I was satiated.” (Hmmmm.)
While calling 50 Cent “the complete antithesis of what you’d imagine,” Chelsea said the former drug dealer did overdo it in the gifts department during their courtship.
“I don’t really like when men buy me ridiculous gifts, especially when I don’t know them well,” she said. “I can buy my own gifts. I really don’t like gifts from rappers in general, since I’m not a hooker.”
Chelsea is now dating hunky New York hotelier/residential developer Andre Balazs. Let’s hope the Budapest native doesn’t make a pest of himself by giving Chelsea too many presents. She hates that.
