Kristin Chenoweth Confesses to Crazy Coin Collection

Kristin Chenoweth is a diehard coin collector who hoards quarters. In a recent appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the “GCB” actress admitted that her fixation on quarters is “weird.”

“This is not a lie,” she said. “I obsess on saving them. I got to have quarters. I have them in my car. I have jars of quarters. I stash them away. And the minute I get home from a shopping trip or any trip, I put all the quarters away … I don’t know what it is.”

Chenoweth said that she thinks the habit began from her starving-actress days in New York when she had to save every quarter she saw for laundry. She also revealed that she cleans each coin with Purell, to which DeGeneres said, “I wish more people would do that with their money: Nobody would be getting sick, touching other people’s money.”

This Steven Tyler Cabbage Patch Kid is a one-of-a-kind doll that’s being sold on eBay for charity. Proceeds will benefit the Children’s Action Network.

The “American Idol” judge isn’t the only celeb to get a Cabbage Patch makeover. Kristin Chenoweth, Al Roker, Raven Symone and Katherine Heigl are also getting lookalike dolls for the Children’s Action Network auction.

The nonprofit organization uses star power to raise awareness for children’s issues, especially kids in foster care and the foster care system. Actor Henry Winkler, who is the board director of the Children’s Action Network, said of the Cabbage Patch auction, “With so many children in the foster care system, there is tremendous need for support from our community. The funds raised in this auction will bring programs and services to these deserving children.”

So far, the current bid for the Steven Tyler Cabbage Patch Kid is over $600; bidding ends on Nov. 17, 2011.
