Watch Kristin Chenoweth talk
about hot topics and interview
Dwight Yoakam as guest host of
“Chesea Lately.”
Kristin Chenoweth took on
hot topics and interviewed
Dwight Yoakam on “Chelsea
Lately.”
Oklahoma’s Broadway and
TV star Kristin Chenoweth
played guest host on “Chelsea
Lately” last night on
cable’s E! channel.
The Broken Arrow native,
who was filling in for show
host Chelsea Handler, had
more than a little fun with
the announcement that
Hugh Hefner’s on-again,
off-again engagement with
Crystal Harris, a young
woman 60 years his junior, is
on... again.
“I know we’re all very
happy for him,” the Tony and
Emmy winner said.
“In 2001, Crystal, who is 26
— no judgment, only love —
called off their wedding five
days before she was to marry
86-year-old Hefner … I wonder
if their registry includes a
coffin,” she laughed.
Her guest on the show was
country star Yoakum, who
talks about Chenoweth’s
“former life as Tidbit.”
“She blew out of the northeast
corner of Oklahoma.
A whirlwind of force and
dynamic performing energy.
Tidbit.”
That was the impetus for
a musical she and country
star Yoakam planned to write
during their down time on
the set of the film “Four
Christmases” in 2009.
“Mary Steenburgen who
was a co-conspirator in this,
Jon Voight and Kristin and
I sat around a lot, and we
wanted to write a musical,”
Yoakum said.
The song Chenoweth
wanted to add to the show
was titled “Muffin Top,” and
she sang a verse while demonstrating
what a muffin top
was on her own body.
Watch two videos from
the show. Adult discretion is
