Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth took some swipes at Kim Kardashian and her famous posterior while co-hosting last night’s American Country Awards in Las Vegas.
The actress, dressed in a boxing robe and red gloves as she sang her co-host Trace Adkins’ song “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” dropped her robe to reveal a pair of tight jeans with heavy padding in the backside. While the “Glee” guest star didn’t reference Kardashian by name, the allusion seemed apparent.
The gag began with just Adkins on stage. “This is Vegas, where the biggest fights take place,” he said. “So let’s instigate another.”
Then Chenoweth emerged and circled him, threatening to punch him with her boxing gloves even though he is twice her size. The set-up seemed reminiscent of the controversial “Kourtney & Kim Take New York” scene in which Kardashian punches her six-foot-nine husband, NBA star Kris Humphries, in the arm.

The two then began a sing-off. After belting out “Oklahoma,” Adkins tasked Chenoweth to sing “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.” She gladly obliged, performing part of the song in her operatic voice.
The awards show continued without further Kardashian jabs. Jason Aldean was the big winner of the night, taking home six awards. Carrie Underwood followed him in the count, winning three awards.
