Johnny told The Wall Street Journal that Chelsea's editors manipulated his interview to make it seem like he was insinuating that Evan Lyschek is gay.
She flat out said that that "No we didn't, liar. We didn't edit you. You insinuated that he was gay & you went **wink**. So don't lie & involve me in your lies."
Go Chelsea! I actually thought he came off well in his interview & she treated him well during it & then he stabs her in the back. I'm back to thinking he's an ass.

Posted: 5/4/10 at 11:51pma lot of shows do edit interviews and magazines do put in print things that are taken out of context (eg. Jillian Michaels) but, he said the things he said and i agree with Chelsea. i think it is more back peddling on his part now. we all saw the wink.

Sometimes you get caught up in the dish with a popular girl who's pretending to be your new best girlfriend so you'll give her the dirt. It happened with Johnny and Chelsea and it happened with Newt Gingrich's mother and Connie Povich.
When you're young, you think you won't be called on it and when you are you make crap up. That's perfectly normal until you get to be Rod Blagojevich's age.

^lol!
Rod just double speaks so much and then takes a question and answers it in so many circles taking forever, that people forget what they asked. Rod makes me laugh. even when they caught his wife on tape effing and blinding with kids in the room every five seconds he tried to answer to that too

Posted: 5/5/10 at 12:01amNamo, that's so true. I'm sure we can't even count how many times that's happened during one of Corine's groundbreaking interviews.

You mean the one's she's had with the Avenue Q puppets she paid more than 2 grand for, and then said bought those to support a friend who is dying from AIDS?
You know, instead of just giving him the money?

Posted: 5/5/10 at 12:07amI think Chelsea should man up and not leave him hanging out to dry. It was a conversation she contributed to, but once she got the dish she washes her hands of him? Puh-lease, alkie.

Posted: 5/5/10 at 12:12amI don't think she's hanging him out to dry. I tried to find the interview online, but I can't seem to. I remember it, though, and how the camera caught the big wink he gave when talking about Evan's girlfriend or whatever.

Posted: 5/5/10 at 12:16amI remember it. He said something about Evan that he concluded with a wink that the camera caught. She saw it too & acknowledged it, while played it off like he didn't do anything.

Namo,
Yes she contributed to it. It's her job and she is a comedian. i have seen her do a lot more than what she did with Johnny. He's a big boy and has seen media many years. She didn't twist his arm to continue the conversation and make that wink. She is basically not allowing what he did of his own accord be blamed on her. I get that. It reminds me of when Sarah Palin went on SNL thinking it was going to really bring her out to the people and it back fired...then she blamed SNL for using her.

Posted: 5/5/10 at 12:27amThanks for posting that, boo! The wink was clear at 2:23. I mean, I guess there could have been some fancy editing going on, but I just don't believe it. Chelsea has always been of the school of giving her guests the rope to hang themselves.

Posted: 5/5/10 at 12:29amActually, I take it back. He said "ex-girlfriend" and winked all the in same shot. Sorry, Johnny, this is a fail. I still like him, though. He just needs to own what he says. Or not say it in the first place.
#16Chelsea Handler calls Johnny Wier on his lie.
Posted: 5/5/10 at 9:01am^ Which is what I always thought he was like. Off the cuff remarks that may shock but really acted as if he didn't care. He was pretty outspoken at the olympics to PETA, along with putting a ring of roses in his hair and proudly singing to GaGa and he never minced words about him and Evan not being friends. This may be a little different and he wants to push the blame onto someone else. Maybe Evan's camp is demanding answers because basically Evan doesn't want to be outed or is not gay. but like Kara Laguardia Airport said about Adam on national tv many people might be saying "oh, i though he was out"
