'cause she did. let's remember this. >> i wasn't sick. >> so you -- >> no, no i wasn't drunk or anything. i literally walked into a shower door this morning, i hit my eye and so everything's puffy. it was just like i couldn't go with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotaba, whatever her name is. >> so then we were worried about the eye because that's a problem if you get hit in the eye. she looked darn good. >> she looked good. she might have great makeup artists. also went that night -- >> to the glamour awards. you can do that with an eye problem. then anyway -- >> she looked darn good, i have to give it to her. >> looked great. in the "new york post," we opened up today to page 6, there is an article in here about chelsea handler again and here it says -- let's see what happened, first it was her eye. what does it say here?

>> the vodka chelsea and the vino -- >> >> nothing to do with alcohol. none of this -- here is the thing. we have the alcohol on the show because of chelsea handler, do you remember that? a long history with chelsea and we are fond of her, don't get us wrong. we did not go looking for this feud. when i first started the show, 4 1/2 years ago, out in on the plaza before we got kicked off for rowdiness. >> here is perez. >> what does it say? >> i would like to toast chelsea -- what? >> new drunken celebrity feud. that's hysterical. >> anyway, she had just come out with her book, "hello, vodka, it's me, chelsea." our producer prepared cocktails for her, just trying to be friendly. yes. >> and so it came and went, the segment came and went, she went boyee bye, we had a nice time. she sold a lot of books, a of gazillion books. and i think it was brooke shields who came on recently after that and said, right after that, where's my drink?
