Chicken-Fried News: Cute Chenoweth

We at Chicken-Fried News think Broadway actress and Oklahoma native Kristin Chenoweth is a dolly. We aren’t alone.

It seems everyone loves the talented Chenoweth.

Well, except for members of controversial Westboro Baptist Church (who picketed outside one of her concerts in Kansas). So, yeah, pretty much everyone loves the talented Chenoweth!

We recently discovered that actress and television personality Rosie O’Donnell is a huge fan, too. Earlier this month, she described the Oklahoma City University alumna as “the most talented woman I know,” “the cutest thing ever born” and “a little tiny human form of Prozac,” according to a recent USA Today article.

O’Donnell made the comments at an annual gala for her arts education organization, Rosie’s Theater Kids. The event recognized Chenoweth for her performance work and her compassion in the arts. Like O’Donnell, her charity work centers on theater but is done through a partnership with Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center Foundation.

Chenoweth responded very cutely to O’Donnell’s praise: “I’m glad I’m your Prozac, because you’re my Zoloft.”

D’aw.
