LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17 (UPI) -- Chelsea Handler stopped by The Ellen Show Thursday and opened up about why she doesn't mind doing nude scenes.

The subject was brought on by a clip of the time Ellen DeGeneres visited Handler's E! talk show Chelsea Lately, and the two partook in a shower scene together -- a recurring sketch from the show in which Handler gets naked in the shower with her guests and has random conversations with them.

"I think it's very empowering for me. I like to be naked because I don't take my body seriously," the comedian told DeGeneres. "I know people do and that's nice for them, but I think bodies are so silly."

Chandler later touches on the vanity that exists in the entertainment business and confessed she liked to show off the things she's got going for her: her breasts.

"I like to take them out whenever I can, and be like, 'Hey look! Pretend this is my whole face!'" she joked.

Asked about the multiple nude pictures she's shared online Handler said she wasn't worried about being a target in the celebrity hacking scandal.

"Nobody is even going to make money from a naked picture of me because I'll sell it to you for free," she joked.
