The E! late-night star and author of A Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands gets candid about getting busy.
 |
What did you learn from writing your book, A Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands, which recounts your hilarious romps through the bedrooms of several suitors? |  |
There were a few guys who were mad they were in it and I had some who said, “Hey, why didn’t you put me in it?!” What can I say?! Some were more memorable experiences than others! | |
|
Did you really have all those dates? | |
Some of the things I talk about happened to me and some of them happened to friends, but I say it happened to me because they would be mortified if they thought I was telling people it happened to them! And some of what I wrote is born out of just how ridiculous life can be, whether you’re single and dating or someone who gets married and overnight it turns into a nightmare. | |
|
Do you think men like a woman who can make them laugh? | | In bed, no. On stage, yes. It’s definitely not a good idea if they’re making you laugh when they’re standing naked! | |
|
What kind of guy are you looking for? | |
One who speaks a decent amount of English! | |
|
You have new episodes of Chelsea Lately, your new late-night show for E! Entertainment, starting September 24. Will you be talking about your dating and romance issues? | |
Only celebrity-related dating stuff. The focus is really pop culture. I’ll leave romance to Tyra Banks and Jerry Springer! I think we are so involved in a mesh of the celebrities of the world and all these people who are so ridiculous, at this point all we can do is sit back and just make fun of ourselves for being this interested in their dating habits. | |
|
On your previous hidden-camera series, Girls Behaving Badly, you did a bunch of shameless pranks. What was one of your favorites related to dating? | |
I went to the opening of the new Star Wars and was hitting on guys in line. I asked them if they’d give up their tickets for sex with me—and I got turned down right and left! I even put cinnamon buns on my ears so I’d look like Princess Leia, but it didn’t help. | |
|
What would you tell a guy not to do on a date with you? | |
Tell me he works at Sizzler! | |
|
What dating advice can you offer? | |
Don’t take it so seriously. And I really think the most important thing is listening. Dating is just like interviewing people on my show—you have to be interested in what a person is saying. | |
|
Have guys criticized you for sleeping with men on the first date? | |
Yes, they told me that they won’t want to marry me if I do. But here’s a newsflash, guys: If I sleep with you on the first date, I don’t consider you marriage material either! | |
