Yes, Kristin Chenoweth has lopped off her golden locks and is rockin' the pixie.

The Emmy and Tony award-winning star got the pixie for a part in a new film, according to a Instagram photo by Los Angeles stylist Jonathan Hanousek.

The pixie is apparently the new celebrity buzz cut, with Pamela Anderson and Beyonce also favoring the short-cropped look.

In other Kristen Chenoweth news, the actress and singer just launched a new charitable foundation in her hometown of Broken Arrow, Okla.

The mission of the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center Foundation, is to bring the world of visual and performing arts to Broken Arrow. Through its programs and initiatives, the Foundation remains dedicated to providing artistic and educational opportunities, offering entertainment and artistic enrichment to the Broken Arrow Community and serving as a vital partner in the cultural and economic vitality of our region. Some current and future initiatives include; The Spotlight Series (bringing internationally acclaimed concert artists and Broadway productions), Educational Outreach and master classes with touring artists, After-school and Summer Arts Institutes, Scholarship programs, Community enrichment and Creating opportunities for students to travel and perform on a national level.

On her website, Chenoweth wrote:

"I am so excited to work more closely with the theater in my hometown that bears my name. Maddie’s Corner was a huge inspiration for me to continue to learn about how to make my mark in the world. I am looking forward to this new partnership and the future of BA PAC!”

The arts foundation is Chenoweth second foray into building a charitable organization. Her Maddie's Corner, named after her snow-white Maltese, was founded as an animal rescue foundation. The organization's stated goals:

"Increase awareness about responsible pet ownership and the joys of including animals in our lives, to educate about and to inspire humane attitudes toward animals, and to provide resources to those groups working directly with animals in need as well as those working with animals to assist people in need."

Chenoweth's other charitable work includes helping The Red Cross, Broadway Cares EFA, The Point Foundation, ASTEP, Breast Cancer awareness and Adoption avocation.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
