One of Chelsea Handler's Staff Members Has a Huge Man-Crush on Armie Hammer (VIDEO)

'Chelsea Lately' (Tue., 11PM on E!) staffer Ryan Basford must be a huge fan of 'The Social Network,' as he's the one who pushed Chelsea Handler to have actor Armie Hammer on the show.

But Handler thinks it's more than that. She explained to Hammer that Basford is a guy who wears jeans and t-shirts to work every day. And yet on the day Hammer was on, Basford showed up in a suit. "I mean, obviously he's got a big [crush on] Armie Hammer," she said. "Because why [is he] so dressed up?"

She took this as one clue that Basford, who says he's straight, is gay. The second clue took her story into a rather bizarre place.

Apparently, the suit wasn't the only thing Basford had worn to fancy himself up a bit.

According to Handler, Basford came into the elevator and had some helpful advice for her. "You know what you need, Chelsea," he said to her. And then he proceeded to show her that he was wearing pasties over his nipples.

"What man cares if your nipples are hard?" she asked. "He's a full-blown homosexual." Case closed.

We're not as positive that it means what Handler thinks, but we do agree that it's a bit of an odd thing for a man to wear. Or maybe there's a huge movement in the suit-wearing world and there are more corporate pasties than there are in the adult entertainment industry. It would be great news for the manufacturers!
