Can Chelsea Handler Tame New Beau Andre Balazs?
Although comedian and E! late night talk host
Chelsea Handler has a penchant for older men, her rumored new beau, hotelier Andre Balazs, may need to step up his game to keep her interest.
As the owner of hotels like The Standard, Chateau Marmont and the Mercer, Balazs has a history of dating high-profile women, from Uma Thurman to
Courtney Love. But none of these relationships lasted.
"Andre likes to be seen on the arm of beautiful young stars," a source close to Balazs tells
PopEater. "But he is very successful with his hotels and wine business and likes his independence. With a woman who has a mind of her own like Chelsea Handler, there could be some friction if the dalliance goes long term."
Handler was seen making out and canoodling with Balazs several times during last weekend's events at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
Handler's dating life has been checkered. She spent several years with Ted Harbert, 55, president of Comcast Entertainment Group, which overseas E! and other networks. Then she had short flings with Animal Planet star Dave Salmoni and rapper
50 Cent.
Although the pair haven't officially confirmed their relationship status, friends close to the couple know it will take a lot for them to both settle down.
"He will have his hands full with Chelsea," says the source. "She is beautiful, smart and as independent as Andre. He will have to think out of the box to hold her interest if he sees it working."

First things first! Chelsea Handler is NOT beautiful, anyone that says she is need to run to an eye doctor right away! 2nd. sounds like the ex girlfriends have a difficult time keeping his guy from wandering. 3rd don't think for a moment he's worried if she leaves him. 4th, This guy is highly successful and in 10 years be even more successful on the other hand Chelsea will be a has-been. She's not funny now and won't be in 5-10 years from now. Too go from dating Uma to Chelsea, what the hell is he thinking?!

The same could be said about Chelsea, only both men and women in her case.

The guy's not even black. No way she will keep him around for long. and yeh she does look like a 50+ yr old that has been around the block way too many times

Emily Hall disappointly sets a double standard here. Chelsea's dating life is qualified as "checkerd", naming only three men in recent years. Whereas Balazs dated Courtney Love. Really?! I cannot even begin to express how angry this makes me. Successful, smart, independent, and --yes-- realistically attractive women still have to be subjected to this type of sexist scrutiny.

Good publicity for his hotels.

Chelsea's new Beau Handlers Her Hamster! Nothing new about that now is there?! Or perhaps he's a Mormon - Nah, nota chance....

I like Chelsea, she is smart, candid and funny. She can date any man she is attracted too. She does not steal men from their girlfriends or wives, because she can get any man, on her own, now that is a work of art.

As long as he doesn't mind her hobby of banging fat rappers they should get along fine.
