Chelsea Handler is going from late night to primetime … sort of. The host of Chelsea Lately has written several autobiographical books about her twenties, and NBC has picked up a pilot based on them. The project is titled after one of the books, Deadline reports: Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. The main character will be named Chelsea and have many similar traits to Handler, but will not be in the same career. Click here to see some of the more scandalous revelations from one of her books.
