Summary

Pop icon, composer and legendary beauty Rufus Wainwright joins Chelsea to discuss why his music is the subject of scrutiny of the world’s leaders, how to hold failure and acceptance in the same hand, how to keep a glimmer of hope when you’re a tortured artist, and all about his new work featuring Jane Fonda. Then: A hot tub romance heats up. A journal-reading boyfriend blames the victim. And the sands of time have one caller wondering if she should call her mother.
