Double the Chelsea coming to E!


Chelsea Handler will star in a second comedy series no E! -- but this one will be (semi-)scripted!

After Lately will follow Chelsea and her crew behind-the-scenes at Chelsea Lately, in the vein of the Larry Sanders Show. The cast will follow loose story outlines as opposed to full scripts, a technique also employed by Curb Your Enthusiasm.

"The show is a behind-the-scenes look at what happens at our office when the cameras are off," says Handler. "A perfect platform for people who have no business being on camera."

Eight episodes have been ordered, and no premiere date set.

Handler's been quite the busy woman lately! After hosting this year's MTV VMAs, the comedian signed on to costar as Reese Witherspoon's best friend in the feature This Means War.

Oh, and she's also been denying rumours she's dating 50 Cent.
