Kristin Chenoweth's Emmys Health Scare

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 21st 2009 07:11AM

'Pushing Daisies' star Kristin Chenoweth won an Emmy for her work on the canceled comedy series, but her great night nearly turned into a real headache - literally. A publicist for Kristin Chenoweth says paramedics checked out the actress when she felt a migraine coming on after taking the TV trophy.

Meghan Prophet says Chenoweth felt ill after winning an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a comedy series and doing press interviews. Prophet says Chenoweth laid down and onsite paramedics examined her.

Prophet says Chenoweth is now doing fine.

The 41-year-old actress was emotional during her acceptance speech and in press interviews. Though 'Pushing Daisies' was not renewed, Chenoweth told reporters she has been busy, filming movies and guest starring on an upcoming episode of Fox's show 'Glee.'

Maybe they didn't know it was a migraine until after? I also have migraines and they don't just "hit" me instantly, but maybe some do especially if you don't get them. Maybe she was complaining of bad head pain and didn't know what it was.

On a lighter note, she's awesome....Glinda rocks and so does she. She brings a lot of light to a very sad country right now!

These award ceremony shows are as phony as they come. All they do is shake hands and congragulate each other.

I love Kristin Chenowith too! I loved Pushing Daisys! I am happy that she won an Emmy but sad that the show didn't make it, damn it, it WAS clever.

Those of you in love with her didn't go to school with her. Betty Boop, I mean Kristin,was extremely snobbish to those not in her "clique". I gag every time I see her.

I loved Pushing Daisies, I was hooked from episode one (but I also love shows like Dead Like Me and Carnivale, so Pushing Daisies liking PD was a no-brainer). Loved Little Bit and Cod, their chemistry was great. However, I did not like it when all of the sudden in Season 2, about episode 6, Olive (Little Bit) began these singing solos. Very annoying. But jokes like Sister Christian were a hoot! And I loved where Olives bought Emerson a rainjacket covered in fish (you know, because he's a Cod), and her's was covered in OLIVES! Great show, sorry to see it's gone, I still haven't forgiven ABC and refuse to watch any new shows on their line up.

Boring, boring, boring! Same ol'thing every year. Not the quality or the caliber of the Oscars or the Tony's. It's TV, for crying out loud!

This year's Emmy's were great! I loved Neil Patrick Harris. He did an outstanding job...singing, and joking and the Dr. Horrible insert was great! Loved it! I am glad these award shows are looking at people like NPH and Hugh Jackman (Oscars) as the MC's. These two guys deserve the accolades.

Kristen's own nails on the chalkboard voice probably gave her the migraine. I had to mute the tv everytime she was interviewed on the red carpet and when she won and gave such a stupid cry-baby fake speech. I hope to see or hear no more of her.

First, I think Kristen is great! So glad she won! She's about as cute as a person can get, without being too over the top.

Second, I can't believe a migraine made this tabloid news. What's next, "a pimple arose"? LOL

Third, it was a boring emmy show. I honestly didn't last the entire show. There have been better, there have been worse. But I had other things to do than to sleep thru the show. ;-)

She is going to be on Glee.

She was great in Wicked, seen it twice, she was perfect.

Kristen had a little headache? Well, being the celeb-basher I am, all I have to say to her is ... uh ... wait a minute! I ADORE Kristen! Got nothing bad to say about her at all (rare for me).

Get to feeling better Sugar and just know that you are loved out here in Joe-Schmoe land.
