Chelsea Handler Is Building Her Own "Clique of Power Women"
And you're not invited.

It's official: Hollywood is an amplified version of the popular group in high school. Their ringleader is late-night host Chelsea Handler, who is best friends with all of your favorite actresses. Name a celebrity you wish you could be friends with, and she probably hung out with them yesterday.
She's "setting up a clique of power women," according to Us Weekly, and it's plain to see. She threw a party for Sandra Bullock's 50th birthday recently, alongside comedian Whitney Cummings. Handler is also BFFs with Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. And of course, Bullock and Aniston are new friends after meeting at Gwyneth Paltrow's dinner party.
Instagram holds all the proof you need that she hangs out with every single one of your dream friends. Try to spot stars like Paltrow, Gwen Stefani, Nicole Richie, Stella McCartney and Naomi Watts.

Handler insists she's not strategically hanging out with stars. After all, her job is to make fun of them on Chelsea Lately. "It's funny how you end up being friends with all these people," she told USA Today. "I don't know how it happened."
Want to form your own A-list clique? Just be a beautiful, successful, hilarious talk-show host who meets the rich and famous for a living. That's not hard, right?
