Lea Michele Is Stoked About Britney’s Upcoming Appearance On “Glee”

Posted on Aug 13, 2010 • Filed under: Articles,Glee,News,Site — S. @ 3:23 am

Lea Michele is super excited for Britney Spears’ upcoming appearance on an episode of  Glee, where the former teen pop star will preview her own material and songs as well as have a role on the show. At a party last night in Hollywood, Lea gave us a little sneak peek of what to expect on the show… Lea Michele Gives Us The Scoop About Britney\’s \”Glee\” Episode

“We’re recreating Britney Spears’ videos…a few of them, in fantasies, so I happen to be caught in my tracksuit. Whether or not that’s Hit Me…Baby One More Time,” you can put the pieces together.” Lea actually had it mind to sing another song before coming to a realization that she, “wanted to do “Circus,” which we’re not doing, but I realized that the choreography would be way too hard for me!” said Lea.

Recently going Vegan, Lea says her tight bod is the result of the all that she does on the show, rather than her recent change in diet. “I do a vegan diet just because I love animals,” the TV star explains. “I do try to work out, but I’m not a big workout fan. Glee is what keeps me super active.” Not a bad gig to have, that keeps you in great shape, has you doing two of the things you love doing (singing & acting), along with allowing you to rub elbows with real life pop-stars like Britney Spears. We’re very happy for you Lea!

New details upcoming Glee Gaga episode

Posted on Apr 01, 2010 • Filed under: Glee,Singing — S. @ 7:53 pm

We already knew that the Glee kids would be tackling Lady Gaga in their back nine episodes, set to begin airing on Fox April 13. But now we actually can tell you which Gaga tunes to get the choral overhaul: “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face.” The latter of the pair will be tackled by Lea Michele’s Rachel. Says creator Ryan Murphy, “Lea does a very stripped-down version of ‘Poker Face.’” Meanwhile, “Romance” sounds like a much more elaborate number, with the glee club actually donning Gaga-esque wardrobe for the performance.

“I do know that we’re all different Lady Gagas, and at one point I am the Kermit the Frog Lady Gaga,” says Michele, referring to this crazy ensemble worn by the pop star. “I saw a picture of the Kermit the Frog Lady Gaga with a Post-It on it that said ‘Lea.’ I was like, oh, great. Everyone else has incredible Lady Gaga outfits and I have that one.” And it sounds like producers are making sure the costumes are up to par with the real Gaga’s eccentric wardrobe choices. Says Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt, “The outfits are gonna be incredible. All the costumes are outrageous and legit. I actually went to the tailor this morning who makes the real Gaga outfits. They’re going all-out.”

Glee Gone Wild: The New Issue of Rolling Stone

Posted on Apr 01, 2010 • Filed under: Gallery,Glee,Media Alert — S. @ 2:29 pm


The cast of Glee goes wild on the latest cover of Rolling Stone — Dianna Agron, Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, Jane Lynch, and Matthew Morrison.

The too-big-to-miss spring premiere of Glee airs at a special time Tuesday, April 13 @ 9:28-10:30 PM ET/PT following American Idol on FOX.

With its group dance numbers and earnest covers of songs like Journey’s buoyant “Don’t Stop Believin’,” Glee seems like the sunniest show on TV. But darkness lurks just barely below the surface — the series also seamlessly weaves in plots about teen pregnancy, scheming wives and the most hard-hearted cheerleading coach to ever grip a whistle. Rolling Stone’s Erik Hedegaard ventures into the Fox hit’s most controversial corners, uncovering the stories behind stolen car stereos, illegal substances, Facebook-revenge fantasies and more in our new issue, on sale at newsstands today.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy, who previously helmed Nip/Tuck, explains the show’s double-edged appeal: “It’s about there being great joy to being different, and great pain.” Twenty-three-year-old Lea Michele, the Broadway talent who plays Rachel, tells Hedegaard about her tattoos, and Cory Monteith, who portrays jock Finn, owns up to a few childhood arrests for offenses that “didn’t hurt people.” Dianna Argon (slippery cheerleader Quinn) describes what it was like joining the cast late and falling victim to Monteith’s fart pranks, and 19-year-old Chris Colfer, who bravely plays gay teen Kurt, opens up about his own painful youth and his never-changing voice. “You know that forget-and-forgive bullshit? No, no, no, no, not for me,” he says of channeling childhood traumas into creative energy. “You take that grudge and let that grudge fester, and then you use it.”
