Kristin Chenoweth getting back to work with Anderson Cooper

Actress KRISTIN CHENOWETH will step back in front of the camera next month (Sep12) to co-host U.S. newsman ANDERSON COOPER's talk show for the first time since suffering a serious head injury on the set of legal drama THE GOOD WIFE.

The singer/actress has been recuperating at her New York home ever since the accident in July (12), when she was hit by a falling piece of lighting equipment while shooting the TV series.

She was forced to bow out of her recurring role on The Good Wife as a result of her injuries, which have left her wearing a neck brace to aid her recovery, but now Chenoweth has set 10 September (12) as her comeback date.

She will join her pal Cooper to launch the revamped second season of his chat show, now titled Anderson Live.

Cooper's other guest co-hosts for the series include Kelly Osbourne, Goldie Hawn and Cyndi Lauper.
