Enjoy the trailer for Lea’s new movie “New Year’s Eve” which will premiere on December 9th 2011.
Broadway.com: Click below for the WORLD PREMIERE of the performance of “For Good” from Wicked by Stephen Schwartz, as performed by Lea Michele and Chris Colfer in the Season Two finale of Fox’s GLEE, premiering Tuesday at 8 PM!
On the stage of the Gershwin Theater where Wicked plays eight times a week, Rachel and Kurt form a diva mutual-appreciation-society befitting of Elphaba and Glinda and share their affection and love for each other as performers – as well as people. Of special note to Broadway babies: both of the original Broadway witches in Wicked who first sang “For Good” have made memorable appearances on GLEE in the last two seasons, with Idina Menzel essaying the role of Rachel Berry’s mother, Shelby, and Kristin Chenoweth winning over fans with her award-nominated stint as boozy April Rhodes.
Continuing what was begun with Michele and Colfer?s dueling versions of “Defying Gravity” last season, Wicked’s unforgettable Act One Finale, here is the end of Act Two – “For Good”; as is oh-so befitting of the close of Season Two of GLEE.
Lyrics:
I’m limited
Just look at me – I’m limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn’t do, Glinda
So now it’s up to you
For both of us – now it’s up to you…I’ve heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true
But I know I’m who I am today
Because I knew you…Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for goodIt well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You’ll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend…Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew youBecause I knew you
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I’ve done you blame me forBut then, I guess we know
There’s blame to shareAnd none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the woodLike a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the woodWho can say if I’ve been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the betterAnd because I knew you…
Because I knew you…
Because I knew you…
I have been changed for good…
Listen to another original song from the Glee finale ‘Nationals’ episode called Pretending, sung by Lea Michele and Cory Monteith. What do you think about it? :)
Lyrics:
Face to face and heart to heart
We’re so close yet so far apart
I close my eyes I look away
That’s just because I’m not okay
But I hold on I stay strong
Wondering if we still belongWill we ever say the words we’re feeling
Deep down underneath it
Tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending
We will always be pretendingHow long do I fantasize
Make believe that it’s still alive
Imagine that I am good enough
If we can choose the ones we love
But I hold on I stay strong
Wondering if we still belongWill we ever say the words we’re feeling
Deep down underneath it
Tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretendingWill we (oh oh) always (oh oh) be keeping secrets safe
Every move we make
Seems like nowhere’s safe to go
And it’s such a shame
Cuz if you feel the same
How am I supposed to knowWill we ever say the words we’re feeling
Deep down underneath it
Tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending
Or will we forever only be pretending
Will we (oh oh) always (oh oh) be pretending
The Glee finale “Nationals” airs on May 24. Are you excited?
Glee Cast – Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley, Cory Monteith and Heather Morris covers this week’s issue of The Hollywood Reporter! I added to the photo gallery high quality scans and some photos behind the scenes!

Reading the article and visiting The Hollywood Reporter official site, we can know something more about New York episode, that is the most expensive episode of Glee ever. The cost of the episode? A cool six million, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Marisa Guthrie.
“A pretty hefty price tag,” she tells ET. “When you’re bringing 40 people from Los Angeles to New York, you’re putting them up, you’re paying for car services every day to multiple locations around the city, you have to hire extra police officers to police the location shoots because they’re shooting in really crowded, busy places. … So it’s a big, big endeavor and it’s very expensive.”
“Everywhere they went there were at least 100 fans at every single stop,” says Guthrie, who points out that the longer the cast was in New York, the bigger the crowds grew thanks to excited, news-spreading tweets. “Times Square there were probably about 300 just on the east side of Broadway. … The cast was dancing up on the TKTS bleacher steps, so that was a great view for all the fans. They’re going out, second season, with a bang,” concludes Guthrie, who adds that the finale episode will have a big cliffhanger. “They wanted to do something different. It’s their first big location shoot. Obviously it’s coming back for a third season. I don’t think it’s a big risk to really kind of break the bank on a finale.”
More about the filming, after the jump!
We know what New Directions will sing during Nationals! It is the song called Light Up The World. Personally, I’m not sure, it is the best song for winning the competition, but we will see.

Light Up The World will be appearing on Volume 6 of Glee: The Music.
Every Friday GleeTheMusic.com releases the songs from upcoming episodes, and today also. We can listen to new songs from Funeral! As we probably know, Lea prepared for us new version of “My Man” from a musical, Funny Girl. In original, this song is sung by Barbra Streisand.
Lyrics:
Oh, my man, I love him so
He’ll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don’t care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright all rightWhat’s the difference if I say
I’ll go away
When I know I’ll come back on my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his
forever moreOh my man I love him so
He’ll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don’t care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright all rightWhat’s the difference if I say
I’ll go away
When I know I’ll come back on my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his
forever more

Few hours ago new song from upcoming episode of Glee has leaked. I mean, Adele’s ‘Rolling In The Deep’ sung by Lea and Jonathan! Ooooh, I’m in love with this song and I’m so excited to see Lea and Jon togehter on Glee! *-* Listen and let me know what you think! ;)
Lyrics:
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I’ll lay your shit bareSee how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And its bring me out the darkThe scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling…We could’ve had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul in your hand
And you played it
To the beatBaby I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
as mine sure won’t be sharedThe scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feelingWe could’ve had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul in your hand
And you played it
With the beatingThrow your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind – you reap just what you sowWe could’ve had it all
We could’ve had it all
it all, it all, it allWe could’ve had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul in your hand
And you played it
To the beatWe could’ve had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul in your head
And you played it, and you played, and you played, you played to the beat
A rigorous schedule of singing, dancing and acting doesn’t leave Lea a lot of time to work out. A Nike professional trainer created the Triple Threat workout specifically for Lea, to make the most out of every minute. It’s a fully packed 15 minutes of functional training and yoga flow that challenges the whole body – arms, legs, abs, everything. And now it’s available only to Nike Training Club members who reach 1000 minutes of training.
Here is the sneak peak of Lea’s Nike Training Club drills!
Celebuzz.com: Lea Michele spends a lot of time working out her vocal chords as one of Glee‘s shining stars, but she’s just as serious about working out her bod.
That’s why Lea teamed up with Nike to provide exclusive content for their training club app. What kind of tips will she be dishing out? In April, anyone with a Nike training club app will be able to unlock Lea’s simple 15-minute total body workout that was designed specifically for Lea by Nike Master Trainer, Marie Purvis. From arm, abs, legs and everything else, it’s a total body work out that anyone can do and maximizes your work out, especially since it’s only 15 minutes!
Check out a video of Lea chatting about it!
JustJared.com: The original songs from the Regionals episode of Glee have arrived! “Loser Like Me”, which was written by Max Martin, is a “Gleek anthem. It’s a very uptempo, kind-of-summery hit”, according Glee’s music producer Adam Anders.
“Get It Right” was written by Adam, his writing partner, and his wife as a ballad for Lea Michele.
Lea’s storyline kind of inspired that song for me – Adam told EW. – Basically, you try to do everything right and you have good motivations with everything you’re doing but everything ends up going wrong. How many times will it take for me to get it right?
What do you think about the songs? :)
Entertainment Weekly: Matthew Morrison said it for a lot of Gleeks when he told EW in December, ‘I need some Holly Holliday in my life.’ Gwyneth Paltrow is back and this time she’s the ‘sexy sex-ed substitute.’ (Please, no Mary Todd Lincoln outfits!) She and Will are clearly going to connect, what with Prince’s ‘Kiss’ and their sultry dance-floor number. ‘Maybe’s it’s time I learned a little bit about romance,’ breathes Holly. ‘I happen to be an excellent educator,’ answers Will. Just kiss the girl, Mr. Schue.
I just can’t wait for new episode! Finally, something happens in Mr. Schue’s life. Check out the new promo!
I added new promo from 13th episode of Glee, called ‘Comeback’. As we can see, Sue is joining New Directions, Sam is singing Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’ and Emma is back :) I can’t wait to watch it! Btw, watch the promo below.
I’ve added also one promotional picture of Lea and gleeks from ‘Comeback’ so check it out! :)
