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!

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!

If you love watching Lea Michele on the hit TV show “Glee” then you may want to tune into BBC America’s “The Choir”. It’s essentially a real life version of “Glee” with themes of the underdog, adversity, and harrowing stories of extreme competitions. The show follows the choir director, Gareth Malone, who seeks unlikely talent and matches them together to form a winning team so they can compete in esteemed competitions.

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.
