Pushing Daisies star urges you not to meth up your life - VIDEO

Man, Intervention is a downer. Between the alcoholism, the anorexia and the 8-10 per-day dust can huffing habits, it is really hard to watch that show and maintain a positive outlook on life. Luckily, Kristin Chenoweth, Broadway diva and effervescent star of Pushing Daisies, has found a solution to all that nastiness: a peppy song about the dangers of crystal meth.

Chenoweth has teamed up with Funny or Die to create her own episode of Intervention. It still has distraught family members confronting an addict in a nondescript hotel room, but instead of a laundry list of ways that Bob, a musician and a meth addict, is ruining his and everyone else's life, there's a peppy song about "Tina," the poor man's cocaine, that includes warnings about "waking up in a pile of your own urine and doo-doo."

The video is after the jump.

Intervention with Kristin Chenoweth even has happy little animated birds and sparkles. What meth addict could resist that? The language in the video is NSFW, but I have a feeling that if you work in the kind of place in which you could watch a video with people singing about crystal meth, throwing in a few curse words isn't really going to put your job in jeopardy.

I remember seeing her on Broadway nearly a decade ago in "Epic Proportions". It wasn't a big hit, but she was so memorable. I can't remember a single other actor from that play, but she kept popping up in new vehicles after that and I followed her success. I especially loved her in "Annie".

When I see where she is now, it almost feels like I "knew her when...." Keep keepin' on Ms. Chenowith! Luv ya!

She's great! I love that she doesn't take herself so seriously -- and she's remarkably talented.

Way to go, KC!
