We’ve seen it and loved it. Chelsea Handler is at her baddest in her latest release, UGANDA BE KIDDING ME LIVE and we want it no other way! Just when you thought it wasn’t possible to “go there”, believe me, SHE GOES ALL THE WAY IN! The totally politically-incorrect 70-minute laugh-fest has the Comedienne/Actress/Author/Television Personality pairing Photos from her life together with some of the most awkwardly-funny stories from her life including her Travels (from her Book, UGANDA BE KIDDING ME), the focus of this new Comedy Special.

Whether it be the time she pooped her pants, her loathing of tight vaginas or even rape she finds a way to own it, sell it and make it somehow laughable and that takes true talent. Black people, Lesbians, Asian people, Animals seem to be a recurring theme in her Routine and the observations are back back funnier than ever. Handler is mean, she’s nasty, but she’s downright real and there is something about that which connects to a post-Eminem era. At once, she always humbles herself with alarmingly-accurate timing.

One thing I’ve realized is that when it comes to Handler, I still prefer seeing her interact with Guests on Chelsea Lately. She has the uncanny ability of making us feel like we’re part of a Girls’ Night Out – a Friend – when she interviews and chats casually onscreen and somehow that bit of BFF charm gets lost in seeing her Live Shows.

Nonetheless, I can think of no funnier way to spend a Friday night at home seeing UGANDA BE KIDDING ME LIVE on Netflix!See the Trailer below:

We were lucky enough to attend Handler‘s CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG Tour back in 2010 and got to meet her!

After making a splash at TIFF ’14, The Equalizer balances its way to the top of the Box Office this weekend with an impressive $35 million from 3,236 theatres in its North American debut. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the Action-Drama reunites the Filmmaker with Denzel Washington after their Oscar-winning success with Training Day.  Although mixed, Reviews were not altogether bad for the Sony Pictures release, garnering 60% on the Tomatometer and an A- CinemaScore which just might help with word of mouth in coming weeks.  The Film, based on the popular ’80s TV Series, was made for approximately $55 million.

In its second week out, 20th Century Fox‘s The Maze Runner finds itself in second spot after a successful debut the weekend prior.  It pulls-in a solid $17.5 million this weekend from 3,638 theatres, cumulatively grossing $58 million domestically thus far.

Moviegoers hungry for some Family content, flocked to see Focus Features/eOne Films’ The Boxtrolls this weekend, earning $17.2 million from 3,464 theatres.  According to CinemaScore, the Animated Feature earns a B+ rating, while Critics gave it a decent 72% on the Tomatometer.  The Movie features the voicework of Ben Kingsley, Elle Fanning  and Toni Collette.

In its second week out, star-studded Dramedy This is Where I Leave You finds itself in fourth spot with $7.2 million for Warner Bros. This brings its two-week tally to $22.2 million, just recouping back its $19 million budget.

Former Champ No Good Deed lands in sixth spot for Sony Pictures with $4.6 million in its third week, just ahead of A Walk Among the Tombstones from Universal Pictures/eOne Films which tallied-in with $4.2 million in its second week out.

A resilient Guardians of the Galaxy is in eighth spot in now its ninth week of release, with $3.7 million earned this weekend.  The Blockbuster from Marvel edges past the $320-million mark in U.S./Canada.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rounds-out the Top Ten with $1.4 million for Paramount Pictures in its eighth week out.  It edges ever-closer to that $200-million mark.

Celebrating the completion of an ambitious $60 million capital campaign towards the $360 million redevelopment of Toronto East General Hospital, the Laughter is the Best Medicine II Gala took place this evening at Allstream Centre. With soon-to-be-completed Ken and Marilyn Thomson Patient Care Centre being a primary point of focus, Stars came out to show their support for the fantastic Cause. Spotted were the likes of Comedian Gerry Dee and the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Jonas Siegel, Joffrey Lupul and more.

Emceeing the Black Tie Affair a second year, Toronto Funnyman Will Arnett continues to show his commitment to the Cause, while the likes of Comedian Mario Joyner, Cancer-surviving Singer Joseph Neale and Headliner Chris Rock took to the stage.  The Party moved over to Muzik Nightclub after midnight.

Arriving shortly after 9:00 PM, Rock graced an intimate Red Carpet before entertaining the Crowd, certainly not holding back with several of his bold yet daringly-funny political observations.  Any Fan of Chris Rock would certainly have known exactly what to expect and he delivered the laughs.

Tonight’s visit actually was the Emmy and Grammy Award Winner’s second visit to the City this month.  He received tons of acclaim for his latest Film Top Five at TIFF ’14 a couple weeks back, the Comedy sparking a bidding war before ultimately Paramount Pictures secured distribution rights in North America.

Guests tonight  had the opportunity to bid on a multitude of elaborate auction items, one including a Will Arnett-signed Rob Ford Bobblehead fetching $9k. Other auctions included a trip for two to Paris with a cooking course at prestigious Le Cordon Bleu.
