The nominations for this years Emmy awards are out and Miss Lea Michele has been honored with a nomination for “Outstanding Actress in a Comedy”. Overall Glee did amazingly well with multiple nominations! This is what Lea had to say on her twitter about the news;
I’m speechless. I’m so proud of my cast and crew! 19 noms is amazing! @chriscolfer I love you so much and am so proud of you. So thankful.
In 2011 Lea is set to lend her voice to the title character in the animated Dorothy of Oz film! Production on the film is scheduled to finish in late 2011, but an interactive teaser website has already been launched at www.dorothyofoz.com.
In the film, the title and beloved role of Dorothy Gale will be played by Golden-Globe nominated actress Lea Michele, star of television’s hit series “Glee”. Also known for her acclaimed Broadway roles in Spring Awakening and Les Misérables, Lea makes her feature film and animation voice-over debut with “Oz” and will also be providing vocals on several original musical numbers.
Lea Michele has claimed that the cast of Glee are just friends.
Several stars of the show have been linked to each other in the past but Michele, who plays Rachel, insisted that the rumours are wrong.
“Every week I’m rumoured to be dating a different Glee cast member,” she told The Mirror. “It is hysterical, but none of us are dating each other – I will say that much.”
Michele also revealed that she is close with Matthew Morrison, who plays Will Schuester, because they both appeared on Broadway.
“I’ve known Matt for years,” she said. “He’s been a friend of mine from New York. People are going to make things up. I think it’s just because we really are so close.”
Lea Michele has admitted that she would like Justin Timberlake to star in Glee.
The actress, who plays Rachel on the show, told Access Hollywood that she thinks Timberlake is “too perfect” for the programme.
“I think Justin Timberlake would be great,” she said.
“But I think he’s too perfect, so I think they’re probably saving him for a while. I would be fine with some ‘SexyBack’, that’s for sure.”
Other members of the cast have previously said that they would like Betty White, Ellen DeGeneres, Queen Latifah and Hugh Jackman to have cameos on the programme.
Lea might be returning to broadway in a musical that was made with her in mind! An interview with Reed Prescott explains all.
Even before making it big on Fox’s hit Glee, Lea Michele was already a bona fide Broadway star, thanks to 2006’s Spring Awakening. No wonder the theater world is anxious to get her back on the boards. One non-profit theater company in New York has gone so far as to create a show with Michele in mind, the New York Post reports. Reed Prescott, executive director of the New York Theatre Barn, confirms that the brunette belter helped inspire their new musical “Speargrove Presents,” based on a real-life incident in which a town blocked a high school production of “Rent.” He chatted with EW’s Simon Vozick-Levinson about the about the project — and explained why Michele is the best woman for the job.
