Written by on August 25th, 2011

Lea Michele along with Cory Monteith and the other “Glee” regulars get makeover in a “Fashion” video. The actress playing Rachel Berry takes the lead singing David Bowie’s classic. She looks dazzling in a sequinned silver minidress and black ankle heeled boots.

Harry Shum Jr. channels his inner paparazzi by following Dianna Agron on the runway with his camera. Mark Salling sticks to his bad boy image looking all rebels in a FNO t-shirt, vest and boots. In addition to the New Directions members, Darren Criss from the Warblers takes the stage as well.

While the kids are strutting their stuff on the runway, Jane Lynch is doing what she does best, yelling through her megaphone. Channeling her inner mean-looking Sue Sylvester, she trades her signature tracksuit with a white shirt and striped blazer. She shouts “I love fashion” and “get out there and shop.”

The video was filmed during a photo shoot for Vogue’s September issue where they grace the cover. The clip was released as a promo for annual charitable Fashion’s Night Out event to be held on September 8 in cities around the world.

Written by on August 22nd, 2011

“Glee” star Lea Michele has revealed her likes to cook vegan lasagne, made with soy and tofu.

The 24-year-old has been a vegan for a few years and her mother taught her how to replace beef, cheese with healthy options, reports contactmusic.

“I’m a vegan for many reasons, one being my love of animals. I’ve also found sticking to a meat-free diet has given me more energy. My favourite dish has always been lasagne and my mum taught me how to make the vegan version by swapping the beef and cheese for soy and tofu,” she said.

Written by on August 17th, 2011

DIANNA Agron says her Glee costar Lea Michelle saved her life from what could have been a horrific on-set accident.

The 25-year-old actress says she was inches away from plunging off stage during one of Glee‘s live shows before Lea’s lifesaving intervention.

“Lea saved me,” says Dianna. “There was a slightly smaller stage (than usual) and fireworks which came down a little closer, almost on top of us and I couldn’t see. Lea’s like, ‘Get over here, you’re about to die!’ It was kind of serious. Now I always remember to look down once in a while.”

When Glee started, I had no idea who Marc Jacobs was. In no way was I a fashion person!” confesses Chris Colfer, who won a Golden Globe Award in 2011 for his depiction of the out-­and-­proud high school chorister Kurt. “I did all my shopping at my small-­town Target. Maybe if I dressed better I wouldn’t have had such a hard time in school,” he says, laughing a little ruefully. “Now, as Kurt, I get to wear all these amazing things, by people whose names I can’t even pronounce.” Those “amazing things”—­the singular looks that the cast sports both on-­ and, increasingly, offscreen—­have led, to the thrilled amazement of Colfer and his costars, to the cast’s current role as spokespeople for this year’s Fashion’s Night Out, the annual fall ritual that celebrates style and shopping, the joys of inventing your own look and having a ball while doing so.
 
 

‘Glee’ Lea Michele has “awesome storylines” in season three
Written by on August 15th, 2011

Glee star Lea Michele has teased some new details about the show’s upcoming third season. The musical series returns on Fox next month, and Michele revealed that she will share a lot of screen time with fellow Glee stars Chris Colfer and Darren Criss.

“I know that she’s going to be in the school musical,” she told The Hollywood Reporter, regarding her character Rachel Berry. “I have some awesome storylines with Darren Criss, Chris Colfer, and I’ll be singing a lot of Broadway as always.”

Michele added that the new season will continue to focus on the core group of students, in particular those characters that are in their senior year. The actress also claimed that the show will continue to reinvent forgotten pop songs for a modern audience.

“In season one we did a lot of classic rock songs, or not even so much classic rock but songs you haven’t seen in the Top 10 in a while,” Michele explained. “I definitely think they’re going to do more of that this year, taking songs that used to be incredibly popular and reinventing them.”

Michele has previously admitted that she is not focusing on her character’s potentially reduced role next season, but has said that she is excited about the possibility of a spinoff series focusing on Rachel and Kurt.

Glee will make its season three premiere on September 20.

Written by on August 11th, 2011

‘Glee’ actress Lea Michele is rumoured to have been lined up for the part of Jennifer Grey in the remake of 1987 film ‘Dirty Dancing’.

Lea Michele is reportedly being lined up for the remake of ‘Dirty Dancing’.

The ‘Glee’ star – who is set to leave the E4 show at the end of next season – has been rumoured for the role of Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman, which was originally played by Jennifer Grey, while Derek Hough could be set to star as Patrick Swayze’s character Johnny Castle, according to MovieWeb.

But the 24-year-old beauty could face competition from pop acts Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez – who is currently dating teen heartthrob Justin Bieber – because they have also been linked with the role of Baby.

Kenny Ortega – who directed Michael Jackson’s ‘This is It’ and choreographed the original ‘Dirty Dancing’ in 1987 – is set to helm the forthcoming movie, which has seen ‘Glee’ actor Matthew Morrison and ‘Gossip Girl’ hunk Chace Crawford considered for the part of Johnny.

The movie is set to arrive in 2013, with official casting announcements expected soon.

Lea Michele Thinks ‘Glee’ Spinoff Would Be Incredible
Written by on August 8th, 2011
Lea Michele has said that she would be “so happy” to win a Glee spinoff.

The 24-year-old is due to take a reduced role in the Fox comedy when her character Rachel Berry graduates at the end of the upcoming third season.  Reports then emerged that Michele would go on to star in a New York-set spinoff with Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel), though Glee creator Ryan Murphy has since revealed that plans were dropped following the controversy over cast departures.

When asked whether she would want to star in her own spinoff, Michele said: “The truth is that I have the greatest job. I work with the most incredible cast and I think Ryan Murphy is honestly the most talented man in the entire world, so if [a spinoff] meant I got to keep working with him for a while, I would be so happy.”

Michele also shared her hope that Rachel’s relationship with Finn (Cory Monteith) would endure a potential move to New York in season three.

“I have a feeling and I hope that they’ll just keep us together for a while,” she said. “When we left off in the finale she was telling him, ‘I wanna go to New York, that’s where I’m gonna go when I graduate’. Hopefully they’ll stay together and I feel like that’s gonna be the deal-breaker.”

Michele claimed back in July that she always knew she would leave Glee next year.

Lea Michele ‘wants every role on Broadway’
Written by on August 7th, 2011

Actress/singer Lea Michele is refusing to take a break from her busy career because she’s determined to play “every role on Broadway.”

The 24 year old has been catapulted to stardom since taking on a leading role in hit TV musical “Glee,” and she admits she’s eager to take advantage of her time in the spotlight while she can.

And Michele has her sights set on dominating the New York stage, where she got her first break in the entertainment industry.

She tells Harper’s Bazaar magazine, “I don’t stop. It’s my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway… I want to do movies, make music. ‘Glee’ is only the beginning.”

Michele, who previously appeared in the Tony Award-winning play “Spring Awakening,” recently lost out on the chance to follow in Barbra Streisand’s footsteps in a stage revival of “Funny Girl” – instead, Six Feet Under actress Lauren Ambrose was cast in the main role of Fanny Brice this week.

Lea Gets Star Struck by Taylor Lautner
Written by on August 6th, 2011

Actress Lea Michele of the hit TV series Glee felt like winning a grand prize after meeting the Twilight stud for the first time at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California. It turns out the Gleek is a Twihard. Lea Michele introduced Taylor Lautner on stage and promised to the audience that she would control herself.

When Lea took the stage, she was actually star struck by Taylor and went to hug him as soon as he came on stage laughing like a school girl and blushing with excitement. After hugging Lea, Taylor spoke on stage about receiving a grant for and on behalf of the Sundance Film Festival and said, “I am so honored to be here today to accept this very generous grant!”

Michele was as giddy as any Twilight fan can be after meeting their favorite werewolf and she was able to leave a big impression on the actor. She felt she may have scared him but Taylor thought she was a “doll”. “I was so nervous. I was just shaking and shaking,” Michele stated in an E!Online interview. She added that the pictures taken during the event with the two of them together will be their wedding picture.  ”He is going to think I’m crazy,” she said. But Lautner did not think she was crazy. “I love her. I had never met her before. She is such a doll,” Lautner said.

Even though Michele would love to see Lautner appear on Glee which came as a suggestion after their meeting, Lautner would rather not do it. “I definitely can’t sing,” he said. “That would be a nightmare.”
