It all began when the two were staying at the same hotel in Denver, Colorado Saturday night. Jay was performing at the comedy club, Comedy Works, and Chelsea performing in the much bigger venue The Wells Fargo Theater.
They ran into each other in the lobby and late Saturday night, Jay tweeted "Just saw Chelsea Handler in the lobby of my hotel. She was so drunk she could hardly walk. I think someone has a wee bit of a problem."
Then early Sunday morning Chelsea, the host of E!'s Chelsea Lately, fired back "Jay Mohr thinks I 'stumbled' past him last night. There's a big difference between stumbling by and just not interested."

Obviously the the comedian realized he wasn't funny, and tweeted again hours later: "Chelsea Handler performed for 5,000 people last night. I performed for 300. HUGE difference. I was making a joke. CH is one of the greats."
After seeing hundreds of tweets in support of her, Chelsea put the war to rest by writing: "I love that my fans stick up for me. Thanks guys...you make a girl feel special."
