All people come in different shapes and sizes. And chemistry wise, everyone is different. Let’s face it. We all know people who simply can eat whatever they want, and simply never gain weight. Yes, they are incredibly lucky! And some of us are very jealous. But we all know and love someone like this. Let’s not “hate” on them. It’s simply body hormonal chemistry and genetic make up.

By the way, we love the mention of her saying she’s half Italian. So many Italian families love to eat and food is a MAJOR part of their lives, and thus Lea is a bi-product of that.

Bon apetit, Lea! Cia for now.

The episode is filled with surprises most of which will set the tone and story-lines for the remainder of the season. There are hook-ups, break-ups, and of course a climactic ending which reveals the memorable choice for the king & queen of the night. We’ll leave the rest to the airing date! So tune in!

On the same evening, she got another tattoo  — a gold star which was an homage to her overachieving “Glee” character. Other tats that Lea has are an “I Believe” tattoo on her right wrist in teal ink. a blue butterfly located on her right foot which was actually designed by her cousin, another butterfly on her back which she inked with her mom being present.

Michele’s remaining tattoos are of little bird on her hip, two musical notes from Queen’s hit song “Bohemian Rhapsody” on her left shoulder, and a tattoo on her thigh which is in memory of her late grandfather, who passed away a year ago.

Happy 24th Birthday Lea!

We’d like to wish Lea a very Happy 24th Birthday today, and good luck at the Emmys today! We’re sure all the Gleeks would love to wish you a Happy Birthday today! Can’t wait to see what you’re wearing tonight on the red carpet, but we’re sure you’ll look beautiful as usual, no matter what you wear!

Congratulations again on everything Lea. It’s been an amazing year, and you deserve all of the attention! We can’t wait to see what the next year has in store for you!

“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!

Most of these kids are incredibly shy, and have never sung in front of their friends let alone a large room of people. A child’s self-esteem is critical to their success and helping to improve it through competitive singing is a clever way to bring these kids out of their shell and explore new levels.

Screen Capture of Glee Inspired Reality Show, "The Choir"

The show airs Wednesdays at 10PM on BBC America.

Unlike her on screen character, Lea sent some sweet congratulatory words to fellow nominees (as expected for “Glee”!) which are both co-stars, and co-creators of “Glee”.

Congratulations Lea! What an amazing year it’s been for you! Keep it going!

2010 Emmy Award Nominations Recap – Lea Michele Nomination

Lea gets a gold star for posing with the adorable rescued mutt Sailor in her PSA for PETA. She explains, “Animals used for fur—including dogs and cats—suffer horrible deaths because some people think it’s OK to make a coat out of them.” The only difference between your “best friend” and animals killed for their fur is the way that they are treated. Foxes, minks, rabbits, and other animals killed for their pelts are bludgeoned, electrocuted, and often skinned alive.

In China, which is now the world’s largest fur exporter, there are no laws to protect animals on fur farms, and dogs and cats are often killed for their fur. The fur is often mislabeled and sold to unsuspecting customers around the world.

“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.”

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.”

The only Glee cast member who threatens to traumatize Hedegaard is Jane Lynch, who channels her ferocious character Sue Sylvester to warn him against asking “stupid questions” (guess nobody wanted to chat about peeing in the shower!). Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers saw a softer side of Lynch when she stopped by the office recently for an Off the Cuff chat — watch it here. Grab the issue for the full story, and to check out the cast’s amazing high school yearbook photos.
