Chelsea Handler & Andre Balzas end their weird relationship

These are some photos of Chelsea Handler ar last night’s Glamour Women of the Year Awards, held last night in NYC. Er… I’m not sure this cameltoe-enhancing catsuit was the best choice, you know? Her boobs look good, though. Chelsea went to the event alone – her NYC-based boyfriend, hotelier Andre Balazs wasn’t her date for the event. This caused Page Six to raise the Code Red: Single Lady – they claim that Andre and Chelsea broke up shortly after Halloween. They been dating for most of the year – the earliest reports about them began this past January. Here’s what Page Six is saying:

Funny girl Chelsea Handler and handsome hotelier André Balazs have split after nearly a year, sources have exclusively confirmed to Page Six.

The comedienne and host of E!’s “Chelsea Lately,” who received a Glamour Women of the Year Award last night at Carnegie Hall, walked the red carpet without Balazs by her side.

“She’s fine,” a source told us. “If she’s feeling down, she’s certainly not showing it.”

Handler and Balazs were together as recently as Halloween weekend, when she attended the “Sinners or Saints”-themed bash at the Balazs-owned Top of the Standard hosted by Balazs, Nick Rhodes, André Saraiva and Thomas Hayo. Balázs and Handler arrived in costume as “Duke and Lady von Glamoor-ass from the Weimar Republic.” Sources said the couple appeared very much together at the event, but broke up shortly after.

It was not immediately clear what provoked the split, but Handler tapes her show in LA while Balazs spends much of his time in New York. The two were first spotted together in January at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where they looked cozy at several parties.

Handler and Balazs continued their public displays of affection at the Super Bowl in Dallas, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, and at Handler’s signing in May of her fourth book, “Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me,” at (where else?) the Top of the Standard.

Glamour this year named the talk-show host a “Queen of the Night,” calling her “the only woman to succeed as a late-night-comedy host, ever.” Jennifer Lopez, Tory Burch and artist Cindy Sherman were also honored.

Handler said of being named as an honoree: “I think women see themselves in me . . . I’m making a fool out of myself for us. I’m happy to do it.”

A rep for Handler had no comment and Balazs’ rep did not get back to us by press time.

I always found them to be a weird couple – Andre is pretty hot, he’s rich, and he’s a catch. Unfortunately, I also think Andre likes really trashy blondes – he was rumored to be dating Courtney Love just before this hookup with Chelsea. To go from C-Love to C-Handler? Is that a downgrade? Anyway, it doesn’t sound like Chelsea is too worked up over it. That’s one of the few things I like about her – she seems to do the dumping and she moves on really quickly.

Chelsea Handler is probably boning Andre Balazs now

I always get Andre Balazs confused with Arpad Busson. They’re both rich European dudes who have dated celebrity women, and the only crossover (I think) is Uma Thurman. Arpad is the dude that knocked up Elle Macpherson – twice – and never married her. Andre is the dude who has been rumored to be dating… Courtney Love. Seriously. That’s a rumor that’s been going around. Andre and Courtney are friendly, and apparently she always stays at his hotels…? So if this little item is true, I think Courtney Love is going to try to give a beat down to Chelsea Handler. And that is a vodka-soaked bitchfight that I would love to see. Anyway, yes - Page Six claims that Chelsea Handler was snuggled up with Andre Balazs over the weekend. Gross.

While comedienne Chelsea Handler was expected to be at the side of rumored beau 50 Cent this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, she cuddled up to suave hotelier Andre Balazs on Saturday night instead.

Handler and Balazs were spotted canoodling at the Florence + the Machine concert at the Bing Bar and perched on a banquette hip-to-hip at Tao at the Samsung Galaxy Lift. The two had their hands all over each other for hours.

The canooding continued at an after-party, and then the pair popped up at Tao, where Handler already started to grow possessive over Balazs, giving sharp looks at other women who made pleasantries with them. They left Tao at about 3 a.m. together.

“They looked very giddy,” said an onlooker. “At one point Chelsea put her arms around his torso and held him close. She then went around the barricade and he followed.”

The potty-mouth talk-show host had been linked to 50 Cent since the fall, despite the fact that both of them have denied that they are dating.

Some men just like trashy women. You’d think that if a dude has already dated Uma Thurman that his standards would be really high. But then Courtney Love happens, and from there, it’s an easy walk to Chelsea.

Also, did you enjoy the description of Chelsea as extremely possessive towards her new guy? She doesn’t even like when he TALKS to other women. Sure, this will last.

Renee Zellweger is dating Uma Thurman’s ex


38 year old actress Renee Zellwegger was spotted out on a date with millionaire hotelier Andre Balazs, 50. Balazs dated Uma Thurman for years and was recently linked with rageaholic Naomi Campbell. Renee and Andre were seen out at dinner, with Renee trying to hide her face from the paparazzi waiting outside. They ended the night at her place so it looks like the date went well for both of them.

[Renee Zellweger] is dating… hotel mogul Andre Balazs… The two were recently spotted getting cozy at Manhattan’s posh San Domenico restaurant.

And when Renee and Andre finished their dinner at 2 a.m., they headed to her place.

Although the actress tried to hide from the cameras, The Enquirer got the scoop on the couple’s new romance.

“Renee is totally into Andre,” a Hollywood insider told us.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, December 10, 2007]

Single Renee Zellweger is often portrayed as a sad sap by the media. She was said to have been rejected by rock legend Paul McCartney after the two enjoyed at least one romantic date this summer, and she hasn’t had much luck in love otherwise. Her marriage to country singer Kenny Chesney ended in 2005 after four months, and she had an on and off relationship with singer Jack Black White, who married a model shortly after breaking it off with Renee.

Zellweger doesn’t do much to dispel our impression of her. She was recently quoted as saying that she likes to go to parties late when no one will point at her, referring to herself as “the weird actress girl in the corner.” She sure has low self esteem for an Oscar winner and one of the highest paid women in Hollywood. Maybe that’s part of the reason why she’s unlucky in love.

Zellweger stars as the female voice of the lead character in the animated film Bee Movie, which I found thoroughly awful. She said she rented her Hollywood home to co-star Jerry Seinfeld and that it was coincidentally infested with bees. She claims to be unaware that the bees had taken up residence in her home before Seinfeld rented it. Is it scandalous that the star of Bee Movie had to kill a bunch of bees to live somewhere? Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions, but it seems likely that Seinfeld had the bees exterminated, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Renee is shown in the header image at the French premiere of Bee Movie last night. thanks to Splash News. The other images are from the US premiere on 10/28/07, thanks to PRPhotos.
