Pushing Daisies star Kristin Chenoweth is working on not one but two music projects that please ThePieMaker.com!
Earlier this week it was announced that she will record covers of fey faves “For The Gays”. Possibly inspired by her involvement with the Point Foundation (the nation’s largest scholarship-granting organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students) for which she’s being honored on September 13th. She’s looking to cover such songs as “The Man That Got Away”, “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”, “Going to the Chapel”, and “Papa, Can You Hear Me?” Not my cup of tea, but the other gays will go-go-a-ga-ga.
Today it was announced that she’s working on a Christmas album as well! Girl is quite busy what with going to the nunnery, crushing on our boy Ned, chilling with the Aunts and now she’s got to fit in time to record another album.
Entitled “A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas,” it’s going to rock our socks stockings because we love us some Christmas!
According to Playbill.com:
Current “Pushing Daisies” Emmy nominee Kristin Chenoweth’s third solo recording will feature a wide range of Christmas songs, including “Silver Bells,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and “Come On Ring Those Bells.”
Entitled “A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas,” the single CD is due in stores Oct. 14 on the Sony BMG Masterworks label.
About the new disc, which was recorded at Capitol Recording Studio’s legendary Studios A & B, Chenoweth said in a statement, “From the minute I signed with Sony Classical eight years ago, I wanted to record a Christmas album. I grew up listening to Barbra Streisand’s Christmas album, and that was such an inspiration to me. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I am blessed and excited to be able to do my own Christmas album.”
