Chelsea Handler Gets Her Own Book Imprint

Posted on November 30, 2010

Deadline reports that comedian, author and talk show host Chelsea Handler is getting her own book imprint at Grand Central publishing. The imprint, called Borderline Amazing, will publish Chelsea's books and books by people Chelsea knows. The first release will be Lies that Chelsea Handler Told Me which will be written by Chelsea's dog Chunk and -- presumably -- a human ghostwriter.

Here is Chelsea's take on the deal:

"I've written three books now, and while they throw money at you after awhile, I completed the Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang book tour, went out every weekend and signed all those books, and I don't know if I can do it again. I'm 35 years old, I'm tired. This is a different approach, getting all my friends and family involved, telling them how I've screwed them over. I'll be editing and overseeing, while my family and friends make money off me and get something back from the torture I've put them through. I've got a couple other ideas and people I want to see write books."

Chelsea's career is on fire. She just made Forbes' list of the most powerful women. She was number 33 out of 100.
