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 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.”

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 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.

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.’”

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."

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.”

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 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.
