Kristin Chenoweth is just like Us — a reality TV junkie.
“Watching The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is making me feel better about my life every day,” the Tony Award winner, 56, exclusively shares in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “I love The Real Housewives.”
Despite telling Us that it’s “so hard” to pick her favorite franchise show and star, she couldn’t help but declare her love for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, gushing over past and present cast. “[I love] Kyle Richards. I’ve loved her for the whole time,” she says. “And before Lisa Vanderpump left, it was Lisa always. She’s my favorite.”

Not normally one to decorate before Thanksgiving, Chenoweth tells Us she made an exception this year. “I want a reason to smile. So, I will be getting out my tree November 1 and start decorating it and make myself feel better and I’m not going to feel bad about it,” she shares. “And I want to encourage [fans], don’t feel guilty. Get out there, go to Home Goods, get all your crap and come home and decorate.”
