Look out, Dr. Drew. I am going to start my own celeb rehab series, but it won't be to help stars overcome their substance abuse addictions. My rehab is going to focus on actors who need help to break their addictions to other people. And I don't want my first guest to be Britney or Lindsay. I want Tony-winning, Emmy-nominated "Pushing Daisies" actress Kristin Chenoweth.
First of all, let me make it clear I am a huge, huge fan of Chenoweth's. Which is why I was unhappy when according to two different reports on the web Aaron Sorkin announced last week at an ABC press party that he has reunited for the umpteenth time with Chenoweth, making them the latest Hollywood power couple. Theirs has become a legendary tumultuous relationship in Hollywood that has been on-again, off-again for the past few years. Of course, the relationship might not be so legendary if Sorkin hadn't decided to divulge intimate details of their relationship vicariously through the character of Harriet Hayes on his defunct show "Studio 60."
Yes, there is the obvious relationship problem of a mismatch in religion-- he has claimed to be an agnostic Jew while she is a Christian-- but I'd like to go out on a limb and surmise that is not the only reason the romance has been one, big emotional boomerang.
Trust would be a big issue for me if my ex-boyfriend had so thoroughly-- and not always kindly-- revealed our pillow talk on air to millions of people.
I'm just saying anyone who spews as much negativity about religion in his scripts as Sorkin does, hmmm, might have a ways to go before he starts reading N.T. Wright's "Simply Christian."
Of course, Chenoweth may get a little revenge-- or at least set the record straight from her perspective--in her memoir "A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages," coming out next year. But in the meantime, I encourage Chenoweth to call me. If she won't go into my celebrity dating rehab, I wish she would at least go on my version of "The Bachelorette." A friend of mine and I have a bet that we can find her a fantastic, non-Hollywood husband in six months if she gives us a chance!

I agree...also it isn't like she had no idea what he did for a living and that he has always brought his own life to his productions. Studio 60 was a poor show because this time he brought to much of his life to the show. But, Kristin isn't mad so why are you?
My only complaint is that Kristin is dumber than dirt itself.
Ok...KC can date who she wants. I WISH she wouldn't date aaron, but if it makes her truly happy (which i don't think it does) then she can do as she wishes.
But to MARY, Kristin is NOT dumb on at all!!! She happens to have a masters degree and went to school on scholarship for years! She may be a little ditzy and have her 'blonde moments' but don't we all? I'm just saying... do your research before you open your mouth, ESPECIALLY if you're gonna criticize someone. Thanks.
Kristin Chenoweth can not be that dumb if Sorkin even considered dating her.
I hate Aaron Sorkin. He wrote one great show and movie. Other than that I don't get it. He is also incapable of writing anything besides politics or military affairs. If you ask me, he is just an opinionated guy with a pen. As far as Kristin goes, I think she could do better for herself without a doubt. Sometimes though it's easier to be with someone in a relationship that isn't going anywhere then admitting that you have commitment issues...Doesn't matter because now he is with Jane Krakowski and Kristin is dating some 24 year old (see what I mean about commitment issues! You know that isn't gonna go anywhere!!) It's all Hollywood though. She should come back to New York where she belongs..
