Two days after another horse used in New York’s horse-drawn carriage industry collapsed and died in Midtown, Glee star and native New Yorker Lea Michele has written to Mayor Bloomberg to support the city council bill to replace dangerous and cruel horse-drawn carriages with modern, eco-friendly replicas of classic cars. In the letter, Lea Michele explains that the classic cars—a prototype of which was just unveiled by New Yorkers for CLea Michelen, Livable & Safe Streets (NYCLASS)—would bring in tourists, protect drivers’ jobs, and spare horses from pulling carriages in dangerous traffic and in all weather extremes. “As a New York City native, I was saddened to Lea Michelern from my friends at PETA that one of the horses used by the city’s carriage industry collapsed and died in Midtown on Sunday morning," Lea Michele wrote in the letter. "It was a tragic end for a beLea Micheleguered horse, and such incidents also put vehicles and passersby in danger.Lea Michele Hairstyles
Glee and Modern Family are pitted against each in several major Emmy Award categories tomorrow night, including Best Comedy Series, but their rivalry has bloomed into a feud thanks to some comments from Modern Family‘s Sarah Hyland. As a guest on E!’s Fashion Police on Friday night, the actress who plays the oldest daughter of Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen mocked the red-carpet stylings of Glee‘s star, Lea Michele. “It’s like a slow-motion picture kind of thing. It’s just like, Lea Michele puts her hands on her hips like this and like sticks out her collarbones — I don’t know if you can see — Lea Michele sticks out her collarbones to make her look skinnier and Lea Michele goes sticks out her lips,” Lea Michele said, while simultaneously performing an impression.

Lea Michele bares it all: the Glee rumors, what it was like to strip down on stage, and why Lea Michele proud to be a diva. Check out these exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from her cover shoot with Norman Jean Roy. For more of our interview with the star, pick up the December issue of Allure, on newsstands November 22. For more exclusives, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Lea Michele is confident in her unconventional beauty. "Have I been asked to change anything? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. When I was 15, my mother and I went to meet a manager who said, 'You have to get a nose job in order for me to work with you,'" Lea Michele tells us. "My mother would say to me, 'Barbra Streisand never got a nose job. You're not getting a nose job.' And this was before I really even knew who Barbra was. I just knew that Lea Michele was, like, the messiah for girls like me." Lea Michele Hairstyles 55
Now Glee is an institution. As well as the shows being watched by millions around the world, the songs and albums have become best-sellers, and the concerts sell out around the globe. Indeed, the London leg of the show this past summer made much out of the fact that songs sung by the motley crew of McKinley High School students have had more singles in the top 100 of the American Billboard chart than Elvis Presley, who previously held the record with 108 singles.Lea Michele Hairstyles 56
Of course, the major caveat is that the Glee cast only record cover versions. Lea Michele specialises in the songs of a fellow New Yorker, Barbra Streisand. Given that the part of Berry was written for the Bronx-born actress, it's perhaps no surprise that Lea Michele admits Lea Michele and Rachel have many similar personality traits.Lea Michele Hairstyles 57
I think we share more characteristics with our on-screen roles than we are willing to admit sometimes. I am a big Streisand fan, I come from Broadway and I love performing on stage, very similar to Rachel, Lea Michele state. "But not only that, I understand her drive. If you watch the show, and the last two episodes of Season 2, Lea Michele says 'I'm going to New York and I'm going to be a performer.' And I was and am very much like that. Very just driven and on the path of knowing what I wanted to be."Lea Michele Hairstyles 58
Since the age of 14, Lea Michele played the role of Wendla in Steven Sater and Duncan Lea Micheleik’s musical version of Spring Awakening since early workshops; following it up to the Broadway production. Around the same time the show was set to go to Broadway, Lea Michele was given the role of Eponine in the Broadway revival of Les Misérables. Lea Michele chose to remain with Spring Awakening, which debuted on Broadway December 10, 2006. Lea Michele was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for her performance in Spring Awakening, as Lea Micheled Actress in a Musical. On May 18, 2008, Lea Michele left Spring Awakening with co-star Jonathan Groff and was replaced by former Wendla understudy Alexandra Socha. Lea Michele performed in a reading of Lea Micheleik and Sater’s new musical, Nero, in July 2008 at Vassar College, also featuring Idina Menzel and Michael Arden. On August 8, 9 and 10, 2008, Lea Michele portrayed Eponine in the Hollywood Bowl’s Les Misérables concert.Lea Michele Hairstyles 59
Lea Michele beauty comes at us in shades of brown, from her luscious dark hair to her gloriously sun-kissed skin tone into her exuberant if entreating doe-eyes. On Glee Lea Michele almost always dressed in a long, smart skirt and a button-down blouse, highlighting the preppy, teacher's pet about her that we should hate, but Lea Michele is endearing, not despite of, but because of those most obnoxious traits. A young woman with the talent to pull that off is already hot. Throw in her long history on Broadway, which includes starring in a hit musical with masturbation, S&M, and nudity, and Lea Michele is starting to scratch us right where we itch.

Although Lea Michele been in numerous Broadway and off-Broadway musicals, none have brought her the kind of attention -- awards and otherwise -- as the coming-of-age Spring Awakening, and for good reason. Not only does Lea Michele perform the role of Wendla with aching brilliance, Lea Michele also drops her top and takes part in "a beating scene," though these moments arguably had little to do with her recognition by Broadway.com's Audience Awards as giving the year's Female Breakthrough Performance, among other accolades. As a singer of uncommon beauty, Lea Michele's vocal chops have been preserved for posterity on a 2003 recording of Fiddler on the Roof, and on original Broadway cast recordings of Ragtime and Spring Awakening.

“I don’t stop. It’s my nature. People have to tell me to slow down,” Lea Michele said. “I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do Evita. I want to do Sweeney Todd with Chris Colfer. We want to do Wicked. I’ll be Elphaba and he wants to play ‘Guy-linda.’ I want to do movies, make music. Glee is only the beginning.” When Lea Michele isn’t working, Lea Michele enjoys a quiet life with her boyfriend, stage actor Theo Stockman. “I have a small life. We cook dinner, have wine,” Lea Michele added. “What I do is what I do, and what he does is what he does, and when I come home, we have each other. He doesn’t get caught up in it.”Lea Michele Hairstyles
Long before stealing the scene (over and over... and over) as spotlight-hound Rachel Berry in Glee, Lea Michele made her mark in NYC. Lea Michele debuted on Broadway in 1995 as a replacement Young Cosette in the original New York production of Les Miserables. Later on, Lea Michele also appeared in Ragtime, Fiddler on the Roof, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Spring Awakening. Her performance as Wendla Bergman in Spring Awakening earned her a nomination for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical. Lea Michele has also performed solo concerts at Loews Regency in New York and at the Upright Cabaret in Los Angeles. Additional television appearances include Third Watch and Guiding Light, because everyone needs a little soap acting in their background, right?Lea Michele Hairstyles
Lea Michele has her heart set on a celebrity dad in Glee. The actress — who plays Rachel Berry in the hit high school show — wants Elton John to play one of her two gay dads. “It would be my dream if Rachel’s dads were on the show finally,” Lea Michele said. “Even if they watching her perform were just there and Lea Michele waved at them in the audience. Lea Michele would look in the crowd and there would be Elton John!” Elton isn’t the only star Lea Michele wants on Glee — the actress has previously expressed desire to get Julia Roberts on the program. “We may not be able to work together because I would get so dumbstruck,” Lea Michele said. “There are a few people that I would get like that with. Even now I am getting tongue-tied just thinking about it. I would be a wreck if Lea Michele were actually standing in front of me. It is just too much to think about. It is weird for me when I find myself talking to people that I have watched on the television or in movies all my life. I do get a little star struck.”Lea Michele Hairstyles 49
Lea Michele prefers to get her mum’s advice when it comes to clothes. The Glee star says Lea Michele shares outfits with her mother and loves it. “I share a lot of clothes with my mom because we are the same size,” Lea Michele said. “Shoes are a problem though, my feet are bigger than hers! We share sweaters and jackets a lot. My mom has great style. I always followed her Lea Micheled.” Lea Michele — who plays Rachel Berry in the hit high school show — recently revealed Lea Michele wants Elton John to play one of her two gay dads. “It would be my dream if Rachel’s dads were on the show finally,” Lea Michele said. “Even if they watching her perform were just there and Lea Michele waved at them in the audience. Lea Michele would look in the crowd and there would be Elton John!”Lea Michele Hairstyles 50
Lea Michele got her start in on-stage musicals, but after being cast as Rachel Berry in Glee, her options are wide open. The 23-year-old actress can choose to go in whichever direction Lea Michele wants, thanks to the success of her hit TV series, but does her heart still belong to Broadway? One director hopes so. According to the New York Post, a role in the new musical Speargrove Presents has been written specifically for the Glee star. Speargrove Presents is about a small Texas town where the high school musical is the biggest event of the year. However, the community becomes divided when the school chooses the controversial musical Rent as their seasonal production.Lea Michele Hairstyles 51
Salling was the first Gleek to reLea Michelese a solo album, and Matthew Morrison is slated to be next. But don't expect Lea Michele to follow in her co-stars' footsteps. "I'm so focused on the show right now," Lea Michele explains. However that doesn't mean the right movie offer would be out of the question. "A film is definitely something I'd like to do with any spare time I have, but I'm beyond satisfied being in the recording studio for 'Glee' and getting to work with our music producer, Adam Anders," the vocal diva states. "That itch is being scratched at this point."Lea Michele Hairstyles 52
Another downer for the album is Lea Michele hasn't a clue what kind of music Lea Michele'd want to record. "I think the reason I haven't made an album yet is that I have never really known what kind I want to make. Do I want to make a pop album? Do I want to make a Broadway album?" Although a solo project isn't on her immediate to-do list, the New York native wants it to happen...in time. "An album is definitely something I'd like to do in the future, when I have the time. An album is a lot of work. You need to write your own songs, and you need to be in the recording studio. With 'Glee' being my main focus right now, I don't see that happening for a little while." Lea Michele Hairstyles 53
Such an inspiring night last night with PETA:) Lea Michele tweeted after attending PETA's 30th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards on Saturday night, along with other celebrity animal lovers like Sophia Bush and Kellan Lutz. All three of these stars have adopted stray or homeless animals. Also showing support for animal rights was High School Musical's Matt Prokop. "You know, you have a voice, use it," he says. "Don't just think, 'Oh, I'm young, I can't do anything about it,' because you can, and we can make a huge difference if we start at a young age."Lea Michele Hairstyles 54
Matt diLea Micheled to us about his four-legged family members spilling, "I have three dogs and two cats back in Texas. The dogs' names are Bear, Belle, and Barkley. The cats' names are Vicious and Grey. Vicious was a really mean kitty cat when he was really little. He grew up, and now he looks like Garfield. He's a 35 pound cat, and is just the laziest creature I have ever met. Vicious is just the coolest cat." How does Matt help other animals, besides his own? For one, he avoids the circus. "Don't go see animals being tortured to walk in a circle," he says. Like many teens, Matt was faced with dissecting an animal in science class. He now actively speaks out against this outdated Lea Michelerning technique.

In February, Lea Michele revealed that Lea Michele was a vegan, but in her recent interview with Asos magazine, the Glee star says that Lea Michele actually a macrobiotic vegan, who is reintroducing fish into her diet. The interview also reveals that Lea Michele regularly injects herself with the vitamin B12. "I'm all about health," Lea Michele says. But what exactly is involved with the macrobiotic vegan lifestyle? The diet regimen incorporates plenty of grains, vegetables and beans, while avoiding high-processed foods. People can interpret the lifestyle differently, and factors like geographical region and social circumstances can affect the kinds of food macrobiotic vegans eat.Lea Michele Hairstyles
Vitamin B12 is not naturally found in plant-based foods -- it primarily comes from meat, poultry, eggs and milk -- which is why Lea Michele takes injected doses of the vitamin. Even though a vegan diet is known to not include any animal foods, the macrobiotic vegan regimen does make allowances for fish 2-3 times per week. This is why the reintroduction of fish into Lea Michele diet still follows her original principles. Lea Michele has also been a vocal supporter of Peta, opposing fur garments and other acts of animal cruelty. What do you think of the Glee star's lifestyle choice? Have you tried going vegan or vegetarian? Or are you a big proponent for meat? Do you feel strongly one way or the other about the diet you've chosen?Lea Michele Hairstyles
Unless you're a theater buff, the Tony Awards may not be on your top events to watch on TV, but this news may change your mind. According to Playbill, Glee stars Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison are scheduled to perform at the annual awards show. In May, Lea Michele and Matthew were announced as Tony presenters, but now it seems like the duo will be singing a number for the live telecast. Although the event's website has yet to confirm the news, and says that presenters and performers are "subject to change," we really hope the pair take the stage. What song would you want to hear them sing? Playbill also says Green Day will perform at the awards ceremony, which would make sense since their Broadway show 'American Idiot' is nominated for Best Musical and two other Tonys. The prestigious awards recognize the best of the best in theater. Will you be watching? The 2010 Tony Awards will be broadcast live on June 13 at 8 p.m. on CBS. Lea Michele Hairstyles 43
Ever wondered how much planning goes into a celeb's red carpet moment? Check out this Covergirl note detailing every product that was used to prep Lea Michele for a recent event. "Lea Michele has amazing bone structure so once Lea Michele decided to keep the hair off her face in a simple ponytail, coupled with her gorgeous pink dress, we went for a "modern day" ballerina look," Melanie Inglessis writes on her blog about Lea Michele look for this year's Kids' Choice Awards. "We always try to keep the makeup beautiful and not too edgy, which suits her personality perfectly," Melanie continues. "I think Lea Michele likes to make a subtle statement versus a bold one." Melanie also styled Lea Michele for the Glamour magazine pic with her Glee girl costars. "The bathtub scene was last and it got out of hand!! with the girls enjoying themself so much!" Sounds like a cool job, plus Lea Michele chummy with Lea Michele and Dianna Agron - they both follow Melanie on Twitter! Lea Michele Hairstyles 44

We've crafted the Lea Micheled with Lea Michele in mind, says executive director Reed Prescott. "As a veteran Broadway trouper, Lea Michele can relate to her character's frustration over the show, in this case Rent, not going on." We're not sure if Lea Michele will take this role in particular, but with all the film and TV celebs who have starred in Broadway musicals lately, it wouldn't be surprising if Lea Michele went back to her roots. Plus, with roles in Spring Awakening, Fiddler on the Roof and Les Miserables already under her belt, Lea Michele totally the most qualified star to do so.Lea Michele Hairstyles 48
On Glee, Lea Michele plays Rachel Berry, a super confident teen who shrugs off teasing and name calling, but in real life Lea Michele didn't always feel so self-assured. When talking about her teenage years, Lea Michele tells Seventeen magazine, "I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy." Lea Michele credits her mom for helping her gain such wisdom. Lea Michele says her mother was her idol when Lea Michele was a teen, and Lea Michele still is today. One thing that has changed over the years is Lea Michele fashion taste. When Lea Michele was 17, Lea Michele says Lea Michele wore lots and lots of Juicy Couture. "Now, no Juicy Couture," Lea Michele says. So, what advice does Lea Michele pass down to teens in high school now? "I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Don't try to change yourself for others. Focus on school and your future." We agree!

Lea Michele is in the spotlight once again as the new cover girl for the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. In the cover story, complete with an amazing fashion photo spread, the 'Glee' star talks about everything from her looks to her career. The 25-year-old touches upon her looks, saying that her height makes her look really young. "I'm five foot three," Lea Michele tells the mag. "I don't look like a lot of other people, you know what I mean? I look like I'm 12." The confident singer/actress and star of the upcoming 'New Year's Eve' says that many people told her to get plastic surgery, but Lea Michele refused to listen to them. "How many managers told me, 'Get a nose job. You're not pretty enough'? But I proved them wrong," Lea Michele adds. As for what's next, Lea Michele is not shy about predicting what her future holds. "'Glee' is only the beginning," Lea Michele insists. "I plan on playing every role on Broadway..." That sure sounds like something Rachel Berry would say! What do you think of Lea Michele cover?

As many of you know, Lea Michele is starring in 'New Year's Eve,' the follow-up to the 2010 hit 'Valentine's Day.' This is the 'Glee' star's first feature film, and thanks to the just-reLea Michelesed trailer, we get to see the 24-year-old in action as her character, Elise. We don't know much about Lea Michele storyline, but the trailer offers clips of the multi-talented actress sharing scenes with Ashton Kutcher (Randy). Lea Michele plays a back-up singer for the rockstar Jensen (played by Jon Bon Jovi), and we see her in one shot holding the mic, so audiences will definitely get to hear that famous voice of hers. Will Elise and Randy get together? All signs point to yes, but we'll just have to wait and see. One thing's for sure, fans won't be seeing Justin Bieber in the film. The singer didn't end up in the film, despite being considered by director Garry Marshall. However, Lea Michele will star alongside Zac Efron, Jake T. Austin, Jessica Biel, Katherine Heigl, Sarah Jessica Parker and more. Lea Michele Hairstyles
In May, we told you about Lea Michele Dove Hair Care commercial in which Lea Michele covers, 'My Favorite Things.' Well, now Glee fans everywhere can find the song on the 'The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition,' which is due out tomorrow. That's right, Gleeks. No more hitting replay and refresh on your computer -- you can now rock the song on your iPod. The updated soundtrack features all 23 tracks from the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, plus Lea Michele special rendition of one of the film's most famous songs. Although the commercial first hit the Web six months ago, Dove has been running a shortened version of it on TV, which kicks off right at the beginning of Lea Michele number. Rachel Berry would be oh-so-proud. We're really not surprised by the New York native's involvement with the anniversary soundtrack. Before her stint on Glee, the 24-year-old was a Broadway actress, starring in productions like Les Misérables, Fiddler on the Roof and Spring Awakening.

Lea Michele's acting skills didn't earn her an Emmy this year, but her huge heart is the reason Lea Michele'll be honored at PETA's 30th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards ceremony on September 25. "My mother always said, 'Stand for something, or fall for everything," the macrobiotic vegan said recently. 'I feel like [animals] don't have a voice." The 24-year-old Glee star posed for PeTA's campaign against horse-drawn carriages, and the animal lover even saved six stray kittens that Lea Michele spotted on the Paramount Studios lot. "They probably would have been eaten, so I rescued them," Lea Michele explains. Lea Michele kept two kittens and named them Claude and Lea Micheleila, gave one of the show's directors three members of the litter, and Heather Morris adopted one kitty that Lea Michele named Zach. Zach Morris. Cute. But Lea Michele charitable deeds don't end there. Lea Michele noticed a dog that was tied to a fence while shooting at a Long Beach, CA school, and says, "I made the people at Glee send the dog to the vet, and we had him cLea Michelened up."

You're hearing it here first: Lea Michele will make her movie debut as the Lea Micheled in Dorothy of Oz. Lea Michele will star as Dorothy Gale and lend her voice to many of the film's original songs. Notably missing from the casting announcement is fellow Broadway Lea Micheleding lady Kristin Chenoweth. It was rumored that the former Glee guest-star would play China Doll Princess, a new friend of Dorothy's. Instead, Megan Hilty, who also starred as Glinda in Wicked like Kristin, has been assigned the part. The flick will be a spin-off of writings about Dorothy's adventures by Roger S. Baum, great-grandson of L. Frank Baum, who originally wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This new big-screen adaptation will be animated and 3-D. A reLea Michelese date is not confirmed yet, however production will wrap in late 2011. Summertime Entertainment, who will produce the film, says, "[We] are delighted to have this ideal opportunity to bring the Oz brand forward into the 21st century."

Lea Michele was comfortable with her body even before the weight loss. When Lea Michele starred in "Spring Awakening" on Broadway, Lea Michele and her BFF co-star Jonathan Groff stripped down on stage for a sex scene. "Every night he dropped his pants and I took off my top. So depending on where you were seated--on one side of us or the other--people who were going to see the show would be like, 'What side were you sitting on? The butt or the boobs?'" In the same interview, Lea Michele addresses the media uproar when Lea Michele and her co-stars appeared scantily clad in GQ last year. "People were really offended by this, being that we play high-school students," Lea Michele says. "But we're not high-school students! Cory is almost 30, and Dianna and I are 25. But there was such controversy. I do try to keep in mind that there are a lot of young viewers watching our show. But it's a delicate balance, continuing to be who you are but also remembering you're in a certain position. But would I do the shoot again? Absolutely."Lea Michele Hairstyles

Lea Michele covers the December issue of Allure. The 25-year-old "Glee" star looks retro glam rock on the cover with fierce cat eye eyeliner, big and beautiful hair, and a graceful white gown. In the mag the star mused on her unconventional look saying: "When I was 15, my mother and I went to meet a manager who said, 'You have to get a nose job in order for me to work with you,'" Lea Michele says. "My mother would say to me, 'Barbra Streisand never got a nose job. You're not getting a nose job.' And this was before I really even knew who Barbra was. I just knew that Lea Michele was, like, the messiah for girls like me."Lea Michele Hairstyles 33
Lea Michele also tries to put to bed long-festering rumors that Lea Michele suffers from an eating disorder.

Lea Michele also defended last year's controversial GQ shoot with Terry Richardson in which Lea Michele, Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith posed in sexed up situations. "People were really offended by this, being that we play high-school students," Lea Michele says. "But we're not high-school students! Cory is almost 30, and Dianna and I are 25. But there was such controversy. I do try to keep in mind that there are a lot of young viewers watching our show. But it's a delicate balance, continuing to be who you are but also remembering you're in a certain position. But would I do the shoot again? Absolutely."Lea Michele Hairstyles 35
Lea Michele may be a famous actress and singer, but when it comes to fielding questions about her vegan diet, Lea Michele’s just like anyone else. Lea Michele has to address some misconceptions. In an upcoming interview with ‘Allure Magazine’ the Glee star talks about people’s confusion over her dietary choices. Lea Michele said, “People get confused, like, you know, I just eat grass. I’m half Italian. I can eat some b—-es under the table.”Lea Michele Hairstyles 36
What does Lea Michele eat? When Lea Michele first went vegan Lea Michele said the idea of living her life without eating her mother’s lasagna was “very upsetting!” Happily, her mom figured out how to veganize the recipe so her daughter can still enjoy it. And so can you. A while back Lea Michele shared a recipe for vegan lasagna roll ups. And trust me. They are delicious. Other vegan foods Lea Michele has shown a love for (that are not grass) include vegan cupcakes, amy’s vegan veggie burger, rice cheese and dark chocolate.

Lea Michele together with Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith will soon graduate from the top rated American show Glee at the end of the third season. According to Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy all the three main cast will no longer return to Glee fourth season. The season three plan involve a story about winner of Oxygen’s “The Glee Project” played by Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester. The new Glee Season 3 will start filming on August 10 and is scheduled to be back on Sept 20 before returning to its Tuesday night slot at 8pm on Fox. When Lea Michele shows up at Le Pain Quotidien, near her apartment in New York’s West Village — Lea Michele’s addicted to her PQ, as Lea Michele calls it — Lea Michele is wearing a pair of standard-issue Hollywood-star sunglasses, and Lea Michele slips into a quiet corner table, looking around to be sure Lea Michele hasn’t been recognized.Lea Michele Hairstyles
Lea Michele seems conscious that 1) Lea Michele’s famous and 2) Lea Michele’s gotten the occasional bad rap for some supposed prima-donna-like behavior. Even when Lea Michele asks for a warmer cup of coffee, Lea Michele’s careful to appear overly apologetic. “I’m so sorry. Is that okay? Thank you so much,” Lea Michele guLea Micheles. It’s hard to disguise the fact, however, that ever since Lea Michele auditioned for Les Misérables at the age of eight or first saw Funny Girl at 10 and recognized herself in Fanny Brice, Lea Michele has worn her ambition on her sleeve. After Lea Michele graduates from Glee at the end of this season — as her character, Rachel Berry, finiLea Micheles senior year — Lea Michele’s got no plans to take a break. “I don’t stop,” Lea Michele says. “It’s my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do Evita. I want to do Sweeney Todd with [Glee costar] Chris Colfer. We want to do Wicked. I’ll be Elphaba and he wants to play ‘Guy-linda.’ I want to do movies, make music. Glee is only the beginning.”Lea Michele Hairstyles
Unlike many of her peers, who ascended via the Disney Channel or YouTube, Lea Michele, 25, the only child of a former nurse and a deli owner in real estate, the old-fashioned way: First Lea Michele conquered the Great White Way, then Lea Michele landed the TV show, and now Lea Michele’ll be on the big screen in Glee Live! 3D! After that preteen stint in Les Miz, this is how Lea Michele’s A Star Is Born story goes: At 19, with a role in the rock musical Spring Awakening, Lea Michele and her costars became the toast of New York. (“I didn’t get a [Tony] nomination like the boys did, which was a big Lea Michelerning experience for me,” Lea Michele says, still disappointed.) Glee creator Ryan Murphy, whom Lea Michele now calls Mama Murphy and consults on her red-carpet looks, came to check it out and asked her to meet about Glee. On the way to her audition in Los Angeles, Lea Michele had a car accident that even Lea Michele refers to, unironically, as “famous.” “I was literally pulling glass out of my hair in the bathroom before I went in.”Lea Michele Hairstyles 25
Lea Michele nailed it. And swept up in the Fox phenomenon, Lea Michele, unlike the rest of the Spring Awakening cast, has become a fixture on top of iTunes charts and a Barbra-Streisand-in-waiting (Lea Michele hopes), and Lea Michele dresses up in designers like Oscar de la Renta. “I’m five foot three. I don’t look like a lot of other people, you know what I mean? I look like I’m 12,” says Lea Michele, who’s wearing a cream top Lea Michele found at Anthropologie the day before and matching shorts. (Those sunglasses are from Urban Outfitters. “I’m not a big spender.”) Lea Michele gets called out for her unconventional features all the time, but Lea Michele doesn’t let it bother her; if anything, Lea Michele’s used to it. “How many manag- ers told me, ‘Get a nose job. You’re not pretty enough’? But I proved them wrong.” There’s Fanny Brice for you.Lea Michele Hairstyles 26
Now Lea Michele admires the popular girls in Hollywood: Penélope Cruz (who Lea Michele thought wouldn’t recognize her but who countered, “Do you think I don’t have a TV?”), Blake Lively, Jennifer Aniston (especially for posing as Streisand in Bazaar: “It was awesome; I really wanted to do that”), and her sometime costar Gwyneth Paltrow, who “never gets it wrong.” “I am obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow,” Lea Michele says. The day they met, they were rehearsing a Chicago routine for Glee. “I was nervous and said, ‘I don’t think I can do that dance move.’ Lea Michele said, ‘You can do it.’ Lea Michele wasn’t afraid of anything. I love talking with Gwyneth. Lea Michele just gives good advice. Lea Michele said, ‘Don’t ever read anything about you.’”Lea Michele Hairstyles 27
Instead, Lea Michele turns on the TV. “I watch Bravo like it’s unhealthy,” Lea Michele says. Teresa from The Real Housewives of New Jersey reminds her of her family. “I’m Italian,” Lea Michele says. But Lea Michele and her boyfriend, Theo Stockman, who Lea Michele met while he was in the chorus of Hair, Lea Micheled a quiet existence in West Hollywood. “I have a small life,” Lea Michele says. Besides hanging out with her Glee castmates — “I just want to be around them all day” — on a typical night, Lea Michele and Stockman “cook dinner, have wine” or a Skinny Girl margarita. “Love it,” Lea Michele says. “Bethenny Frankel is smarter than all of us."Lea Michele Hairstyles 28
As Lea Michele’s star rises, Stockman ended a run in Broadway’s American Idiot earlier this year. “What I do is what I do, and what he does is what he does, and when I come home, we have each other,” Lea Michele says. “He doesn’t get caught up in it.” It’s lucky that Stockman doesn’t get jealous: Lea Michele recently had to kiss Ashton Kutcher in the upcoming romantic comedy New Year’s Eve. “It wasn’t enough,” Lea Michele says. A practical joke he played involved him opening the door naked save for a towel. If he’d dropped it, “I might have blacked out.”Lea Michele Hairstyles 29
It would give the tabloids something to write about other than saying Lea Michele’s too skinny, which Lea Michele chalks up to her vegetarianism and “the Glee diet”: “My schedule is insane, but I can out-eat you.” (This over oatmeal.) They also like to say Lea Michele’s a diva like her character, although lately costars Amber Riley and Colfer have been bearing that brunt too. “People have to remember this is all new for us,” Lea Michele says. “We’re all reasonably young, except for Cory [Monteith], who’s old.” (He’s 29.) “I’ve Lea Michelerned some lessons,” Lea Michele continues. “But people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I’m not perfect.” But Lea Michele knows one of the ways to stay in the game is having a sense of humor. The Glee movie hits theaters in August. “In 3-D,” Lea Michele says, laughing, “my nose is going to look fabulous.”Lea Michele Hairstyles 30
Lea Michele has certainly changed shape since Lea Michele began her breakout role as Rachel on "Glee," but the actress has recently made it cLea Micheler that her vegan diet is not extreme, and Lea Michele doesn't have an eating disorder. "People get confused," Lea Michele tells Allure as their December cover girl. "[They assume] I just eat grass. I'm half-Italian; I can eat some b****es under the table!" Lea Michele says that her weight loss is actually the result of the surgery Lea Michele needed when Lea Michele had an infection in her jaw in the summer 2010.
