Did you hear who Chelsea Handler's hanging out with lately?

E!'s resident funnylady was snapped this week looking cozy in New Orleans at Blue Nile bar with none other than 50 Cent.

And while some may be surprised by this pairing, the two have been flirting on Twitter for months after the rapper appeared on Chelsea Lately...

"I love me some chelsea handler yal see her show tonight she is so funny to me," he wrote on his Twitter last month.

"They haven't hooked up, but she's open to it," an inside source tells E! News of the dynamic duo, both 35.

Chelsea is having fun with all the speculation, though, posting this suggestive pic on her Twitter yesterday.

One thing that she definitely isn't joking about is the recent string of gay suicides.

Today, she posted a video featuring two of her gay friends urging everyone to "live your life and keep going."

Here's hoping her buddy Fiddy watched the video—the rapper recently came under fire for a tweet that some (including GLAAD) felt was antigay. He claims it was a joke and later deleted the offensive post.

When we reached Chelsea's rep regarding her outing with 50 Cent, he told us: "She's saving her comments for her own show."

But you'll have to wait a week to hear her sound off. Her show's on hiatus this week. What a tease!
