Chelsea Handler is feeling the love!

During Thursday's Chelsea Lately, the E! talk show host received an early Valentine's Day present from her sidekick, Chuy Bravo."I always like to give the gift that keeps on giving," the best-selling author told the audience, joking, "That's why each year I sleep with someone who does not have herpes."

"I know people struggle with what to get their lover on V-Day, but I've had some very thoughtful boyfriends in the past," Handler continued. "I will never forget the year one of my suitors surprised me with a box of chocolate-covered eight balls. In seventh grade...the local rabbi gave me my first edible, kosher condom. But today, Chuy has not only gotten me a spectacular gift, he's made one of my lifelong dreams come true! Here to serenade me with 'Achy Breaky Heart,' Billy Ray Cyrus!"

The former Hannah Montana star began by performing a stripped down, acoustic version of his 1992 hit. With Chelsea Lately staffers swaying in the back, and Handler holding a single red rose in her hand, Cyrus serenaded the Uganda Be Kidding Me author before producer-turned-rapper Buck 22 came out.

The musicians then switched gears and performed their "Achy Breaky Heart 2" remix. "I be next to BRC / Up on Lately / Got everybody wondering who I am," Buck 22 (real name: Damon Elliot) rapped.

Handler, of course, was delighted. "Thank you!" she exclaimed, giving Cyrus a hug. "Thank you!"
