Since Kristin has won Broadway.com’s Star of the year award, they have created a portrait of her as well! You can view in our gallery by clicking on the image to the right. Check it out:

Every week, Broadway.com resident artist Justin ‘Squigs’ Robertson delivers character-based portraits of stars as they appear onstage in Broadway’s hottest shows. His assignment this week was a bit different: Create a portrait that captures the overall fabulousness of the actress chosen by Broadway.com readers as Star of the Year for 2010: Ms. Kristin Chenoweth. Squigs tackled his assignment with gusto, and the result is an artwork that does justice to a Tony-winning star and her excellent year on stage and screen. Congratulations, Kristin.

I have added two images that I was able to find of Kristin on Show People. If I am able to find more I will add them as well. I will try to find a way to make screencaptures of the episode for our also. For now, enjoy these two images!

As we reported a couple of days ago, Kristin was featured on the first episode of Show People, and it is now available to watch. To view, head on over here.

Congratulations Kristin for this honor!!!

Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth was named the Broadway.com Star of the Year for 2010 after a week of online voting by theater fans. The stage and screen star made a return to the Broadway this year as Fran Kubelik in the hit musical revival of Promises, Promises.

“I love that!” she said, after being surprised with the news while filming an interview for the new Broadway.com talk show Show People. “I’m very, very honored by that, because it’s the people that vote. This just means a lot to me.”

Other Star of the Year nominees, chosen by the editorial staff of Broadway.com, were John Gallagher Jr. (American Idiot), Sean Hayes (Promises, Promises), Nathan Lane (The Addams Family), Patti LuPone (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown), Bernadette Peters (A Little Night Music), Lily Rabe (The Merchant of Venice) and Benjamin Walker (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson).

In honor of Chenoweth’s win, Broadway.com has dedicated its entire homepage on December 23 to the star. Learn more about Chenoweth and her incredible year on Broadway by clicking around the site!

When Kristin was attending the Gypsy competition we reported days ago, her and a bunch of other Broadway stars taped a special Holiday message for us. Check it out!

A special message from Broadway stars including Carol Channing, Kristin Chenoweth, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Cherry Jones, Sean Hayes and many more was filmed backstage during the annual Gypsy of the Year competition following weeks of fundraising efforts by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The message urges viewers to continue to support the organization’s fundraising efforts during the holidays.

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) is the nation’s leading industry-based, not-for-profit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization.

Looks like Broadway.com has a new show premiering, and Kristin is going to be their first guest! Check it out:

Promises, Promises leading lady Kristin Chenoweth will appear on the premiere episode of Show People, a new Broadway.com interview show. Hosted by Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek, Show People will highlight the brightest talents of the stage. The Chenoweth episode will premiere on Thursday, December 23, 2010.

“I’m truly honored that Kristin has agreed to be the first guest,” Wontorek said. “She’s had an incredible year and is one of our readers’ favorite Broadway stars. There’s definitely a lot to talk about!”

Chenoweth received two Broadway.com Audience Awards for her performance in Promises, Promises, which was recently named the best show of 2010 by the editorial staff of Broadway.com. She won a Tony Award for You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown and was also nominated for her work in the mega-musical Wicked. Other Broadway credits include Steel Pier, Epic Proportions and The Apple Tree. In 2009, Chenoweth won an Emmy Award for the TV show Pushing Daisies.

Show People will appear weekly on Broadway.com every Thursday.

I stumbled across these photos of Kristin a couple of days ago. They really put us in the holiday mood with Kristin looking so festive!! They weren’t really marked as either a photoshoot or event, so for now I have put them in the appearances section. Enjoy!

Kristin is all about giving back, and now she has joined up with another charity to raise money for a good cause. Check it out:

Because giving back is always in style: Little Black Dress Wines kicks off another year supporting two great charities – Dress for Success and Clothes Off Our Back Foundation – through its annual celebrity little black dress and autographed wine bottle auctions. Just in time for awards season, bidding begins January 17 (the day after the Golden Globes ceremony) and ends March 1, 2011, (after the Academy Awards air).

Celebrity contributions for the 2011 auction have already started “pouring” in: from Rachael Ray, a Donna Karan LBD; autographed bottles of Little Black Dress Wines from the famously fashionable including Shoshanna Gruss, Olivia Palermo, Simon Doonan, Kristin Chenoweth, Scott Disick, and model Tyson Beckford, among others.
