Chelsea Handler Reveals She Quit Show After Becoming Bored With Celebrities: 'I Don't Really Care About Justin Bieber'

Chelsea Handler is tired of celebrities.

According to the Daily Mail, Handler, who will end the eight-year run of her talk show "Chelsea Lately" in August, revealed that she is tired of talking about over-exposed celebrities, inducing Justin Bieber.

"To be quite honest I don't really care about Justin Bieber and I don't want to talk about him anymore," she said. "In order to make that happen I had to just stop doing my show. Straight away. I've had seven years of being on the show, but I was just kinda over it and tired and I have a really proper new exciting project which will be announced in the next two weeks, which I'm super happy about."

The 39-year-old outspoken host said she has grown tired of whining about and making fun of celebrities, inlcuding the Kardashians, whose reality show airs on the same network.

She explained, "You can sit around and complain about all that s**t and the Kardashians all day but if you're participating in it then what can you do? It really didn't feel great doing the show and the only way to sort things out was to extricate myself from the entire situation."

Handler announced her departure from the E! Network last month. She has also been fighting rumors that she would be replacing Craig Ferguson as the host on CBS' "Late Late Show".

"I'm not doing CBS Late Late. Anything being rumored is not what I'm doing," she said. "I'm going to do a show. It will be a refresh situation, a little bit more mindful and a little bit more interesting for me and my viewers."
