Chelsea Handler

Late-night talk show host Chelsea Handler was born in the affluent, suburban town of Livingston, New Jersey. Chelsea once told W magazine that she always felt like an outsider in Livingston. "We lived in this nice Jewish neighborhood. Everyone had Mercedeses and Jaguars, and I was going to school in a Pinto." At 15, Chelsea did find her way into the "in crowd" when she became a finalist in the Miss New Jersey pageant.
