Kristin Chenoweth took to Instagram to share a touching tribute to the late Naya Rivera. Chenoweth guest starred as April Rhodes on Glee, the musical series Rivera starred in.
In the video, Chenoweth said, "A long time ago I was invited to be a guest star on a show called Glee. I had the honor of meeting all my babies, those kids, who still make me proud and I want them to know I still love them and I'm proud of them. And with Naya gone, I know how that hurts them. She was such a sweet, sweet child."

Sara Bareilles was a guest on CBS This Morning Wednesday to talk about her new Apple TV series Little Voice!
Bareilles also talks about her experience recovering from COVID-19 earlier this year. CBS This Morning's Anthony Mason asked her how she's coping during the pandemic, to which Bareilles replied, "Not well. You know, every day is different. I haven't had sort of anxiety spikes like this since I was in my early 20s... I cope with a lot of therapy and meditation."
Bareilles also opened up about the death of Nick Cordero, her friend and Waitress Musical colleague, saying, "He was deeply kind. Really, really talented, loving, funny, buoyant personality & but just a real kind man. So my heart breaks for his wife and son, Amanda & Elvis. But we will honor his memory."
The chaos continues with "The Chaos Twins" with Sasha Hutchings and Nik Walker. What's it all about? "In a world of extremes, where the divides are deep and the struggles are real, sometimes, the only way back to the calm... is Chaos," say Sasha and Nik.
Yesterday's guest was Chris Jackson!
