Hey everyone! I just added photos of Kristin from last night’s Tony Awards to the gallery. She looked absolutely beautiful as always. I will try and have video and screencaptures up later on. I also added photos of Kristin from Cosmos 2010 Practice Safe Sun Awards Luncheon to the gallery as well.

Tony and Emmy winner Kristin Chenoweth will ring in 2011 with two New Year’s Eve shows at Walt Disney Concert Hall. She will perform songs from her albums and Broadway musicals as well as a variety of classics as part of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Deck the Hall holiday series.

Currently, Chenoweth is starring with Sean Hayes  in the Broadway revival of “Promises, Promises.” She also recently returned to the Fox series “Glee” with a guest appearance as boozy April Rhodes.

After making her Broadway debut in “Steel Pier” in 1997, Chenoweth received a 1999 Tony Award for playing Sally in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and a 2004 Tony nomination for playing Glinda in “Wicked.”

Besides “Glee,” Chenoweth’s television credits include her Emmy-winning work as waitress Olive Snook on ABC’s “Pushing Daisies” and a recurring role as media consultant-turned-deputy press secretary Annabeth Schott on NBC’s “The West Wing.”

She also has appeared in movies including “Bewitched,” “Running With Scissors” and the 2006 version of “The Pink Panther.”

A classically trained opera singer, Chenoweth is a concert and recording artist with a repertoire that includes pop, Christian music and show tunes.

The New Year’s Eve shows will begin at 7 and 10:30 p.m.

Kristin Chenoweth, Cher, John Stamos, John McEnroe, and Rod Stewart are among the celebrities who are participating in an online auction to benefit the New York Restoration Project’s work in cleaning and greening New York City.

Among the lots available in the auction are VIP tickets to Promises, Promises, plus the opportunity to meet Chenoweth and her co-star Sean Hayes, house seats to Broadway’s In the Heights, tickets to Cher’s Caesars Palace show in Las Vegas, seats for a Rod Stewart concert at London’s O2 arena, and dinner with Stamos at The Ivy. Other lots include the participation of Al Roker, Alice Cooper, and Terry Bradshaw.

Many of the lots include JetBlue airfare. Bidding continues through June 7 at 3pm (ET).

After suffering a heartbreaking cancellation, ABC’s fairytale series “Pushing Daisies” won two golden trophies Saturday at the “Creative Arts Emmy Awards.” The award show proceeds the Primetime Emmy Awards and honors all of the behind-the-scenes artists who make television happen, such as the hair and costume folks and even guest stars.

And like its bigger, more notable sister, the “Creative Arts Emmy Awards” take place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The show will air Friday on E!

But back to “Pushing Daisies,” a sweet little series which followed a man named Ned (Lee Pace), who could kill and resurrect the dead with just one touch. Despite being eliminated earlier this year, the program still managed to nab Emmys for Outstanding Makeup for a Single-Camera Series (non-prosthetic) and another for Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series.

Tony award winning actress Kristin Chenoweth, who played Olive on the show, has also been nominated for an Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy. Fans will find out if she wins when the “61st Primetime Emmy Awards” air Sept. 20 on CBS. Chenoweth is competing against the likes of Vanessa Williams (ABC’s “Ugly Betty”) and Elizabeth Perkins (Showtime’s “Weeds”) in the category.

Another winner of note is Fox’s now canceled “MADtv,” which won an Emmy for Outstanding Makeup for a Single-Camera Series (non prosthetic). The comedy show aired for 14 seasons before coming to an end earlier this year.

“I didn’t really make a speech,” said a visibly moved Jennifer Aspinall, “MADtv” head makeup artist. “I thought we’d lose.”

Meanwhile, Oscar winning actress and Detroit native Ellen Burstyn won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role on NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” This was her first Emmy win.

“As you get older, you appreciate awards more,” Burstyn, 76, told reporters backstage. “I wanted an Emmy to complete my set.”
