Never thought of that. And now I won't be able to stop thinking of it.

The part about the 700 Club reads like damage control.

Did they really call her a "Triple" threat?
Have they seen her dance?
Her singing, Amazing.
Her acting, well whatever..
Her dancing, definitely threatening.

She sounds like a good loving person,
somewhat full of herself
"Oh they hate me because I am talented"
But in that dumb blonde vein, she'd got it covered.

"that various people claiming to be her birth parents have recently materialized, seeking money."

You know you're a theater geek when that line conjures up a scene from ANNIE.

Even better since she was Lily St. Regis in the TV movie.

fflag, she already responded to it as soon as all the backlash materialized.

Yes, I was rather fond of the line, "They hate me because I'm talented." Maybe I should start using it in my own life... But cute article, thanks for posting!

I guess she's confirmed for the new Mel Brooks musical.

"If the sitcom with Nathan Lane, about a pair of talk show hosts like Regis and Kelly, is picked up, how will she juggle it with playing the Madeline Kahn role in the stage musical adaptation of “Young Frankenstein,” scheduled for October 2007?"

And oh, I love her more.

CurtainPullDowner, why shouldn't she be full of herself? Why shouldn't anyone feel good about themself? Being proud of your talents and sharing that with others is nothing to be ashamed of. She sounds like a total sweetheart. Let people feel good, and don't label good self-esteem as selfish or negative.

Anyone know anything else about the sitcom with Nathan Lane? I guess it could be filmed in NYC (more and more shows are...well at least a few are) and maybe that's how it would be easier for her to do Young Frankestein.

She’s like a bag of puppies, each ambition tumbling over the others in a desire to get out.

Well, stella, the sitcom was first mentioned in an article on theatremania.com, but all Kristin said was that she and Nathan Lane were taking part in it.

CurtainPullerDowner, what is wrong with her saying people were jealous of her talent? People do hate others because of their talent. If you were a Tony winner and as successful as she is it is fine to admit you're talented.

I'm glad someone said it before I did. Because that was all I could think of when I read it. I had no idea she was adopted. Cute article, though.

Ok
I'll let her be full of herself.

there I feel better about myself now.

She does sound like fun and I like that she can laugh about her persona.

Great interview!
I've always been a fan of hers, and I can't wait to see her in person in THE APPLE TREE
:)
She is so cute, and in my opinion, is the best Broadway performer of present time.

Yeah. My opinion.

I don't know. I've never really felt strongly about her one way or the other. I think she's a wonderfully talented singer, but I tend to find that a little of her goes a long way.

With that being said, this article did nothing but tip the ballance onto the negative side. First of all, I feel so bad for that dog. It's one thing to put a sweater on your dog (certainly small ones need them when it gets cold out) but I don't think I've ever seen a dog that looked comfortable walking around in boots. She even said that she's sure the dog isn't happy about it, but basically, it amuses her, so who cares.

And I think comments like "Ms. Chenoweth said she now resolves this sort of thing by cutting off contact 'the minute something goes awry with me and another female'" are just preposterous. That's a great philosphy on how to live your life. I'm freakishly talented and all the other girls are sickeningly jealous of me, so whenever a conflict comes off I'll just detatch myself from the situation, because that's much more sensible than trying to sort through it.

Well mabel..as some of us get older..the 'been there done that' gets really old. Sometimes we just decide it's much easier to cut people off than to have to deal with the bull****.

Mabel, I have a feeling Cheno probably has tried it your way many times in her life. She's almost 40 now, so I think she just gave up.

[mabel]

Posted: 12/5/06 at 6:00pm

I'd imagine that's a fine philosphy to a certain extent, but for a collaborative environment such as theater, I have a hard time believing that's a particularly useful/helpful mentality to have. I suppose as long as any conflicts can be put aside when you hit the boards, fine, but it seems kind of an iffy way to go about your personal/professional life.

Whatever, I'm never going to work with her or know her, so I guess that's something that the people who do have to "contend" with.

Despite Idina's words at the Tony, Kristin and Idina absolutely loathe each other. The song "loathing" actually conveyed how they felt about each other.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/6/06 at 12:21am

.... are we really still hung up on whether they liked each other or not?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/6/06 at 2:43am

I wanna rehash it!

I think they HATED each other. Remember when Idina really slapped Kristin in the neckbrace? Remember????
