“Glee” star Lea Michele’s talent shines brightly — and so does her fabulous hair. What’s her secret? ET knows!
As she prepares to kick-off the “Glee Live Concert Tour” this May 15, Dove Hair jumped in to become Lea’s first-ever commercial sponsor! Since Lea spends hours on the set every day putting her hair through a lot — blow drying, curling, brushing and hot stage lights — it’s a match made in heaven.
“I have naturally curly hair,” Lea reveals. “I have to straighten it every day … I also have hair extensions, so my hair goes through an array of damage throughout the day.”
ET is behind-the-scenes of her new Dove commercial, which debuts at the end of May.

Ga-Gouch! Glee’s Lea Michele Injured During Lady Gaga Dance Number

Wanna know what’s hiding under that flowy, floor-length dress Lea Michele wore to the Glee premiere party last night?

A DWTS-size injury she received yesterday while shooting the show’s highly anticipated episode that will feature the songs of Lady Gaga.

So what happened?

Thankfully, no broken toes à la Evan or showstopping tendonitis à la Jewel, but according to Lea, she did bang up her knee pretty badly. “I can tell you my knee has a golfball-sized lump on it from my Lady Gaga dance today that we did,” Lea told me last night. “Hence the floor-length dress. It’s awesome. I give her so much credit for doing what she does. I mean, we did one number today and I was on the ground, drenched in sweat.”

Michele made her Broadway debut at age 8 and won rabid fans as Wendla in the Tony Award–winning Broadway production of Spring Awakening. She hit it big in 2009 as the perky perfectionist Rachel Berry on Fox’s breakout high-school-musical comedy Glee, which has drawn a cult following of up to 8 million viewers a week and sent song after song rocketing to the top of the iTunes download chart. In May, Michele will lead the cast in a four-city concert tour.

Remember how I said, long ago, that more new things were coming to LMW? Well, here’s one more! Took longer than expected but the Press Archive is now up and running.

Our aim is to make it the biggest collection of Lea articles online, and for that we need your help! Anyone can register and post articles (just make sure what you’re posting is not already there) and maybe in the future we’ll make a ‘top poster’ thingy or something. And you can also rate articles and comment on them.

As usual, I hope you like this new corner of LMW and can take advantage of it to learn more about Lea. There are a few articles already posted and we’ll be posting more soon but remember, anyone can be a part of it :)

New ‘Glee’ commercial featuring ‘Like a Prayer’: Lea Michele = smokin’

Mar 24, 2010
posted by admin | with Comments Off | in Press

This new commercial for Glee’s April 13 return, featuring Lea Michele’s Rachel belting out a Broadway-flavored version of “Like a Prayer,” presumably from the upcoming all-Madonna episode, gives a little taste of everything I love about the girl. Michele’s huge voice, born-to-be-on-stage persona, adorable comedic half-smile, and smokin’ hot, half-size-too-small school girl sweater dress all serve as reminders that she alone is reason enough to for me to keep watching Glee. (And yes, the sprinkling of awesome Sue Sylvesterisms certainly adds to the allure.)

My favorite Rachel moment ever — and frankly, also the moment I fell in love with Glee — was when she sang “Take a Bow” to Finn as he got all kissy-face cute with Quinn in the hallway, seemingly turning his back on what Rachel felt was their budding romance. Michele brought a pained sense of high school vulnerability to the song that drummed up so many memories of school hallway heartache, and at least in my opinion, easily trumped Rihanna’s cockier original. I’m pretty stoked to see what sexy-innocent greatness — and yes, great talent IS sexy — Michele delivers next.

Okay, now Glee has arrived: The cast of the Fox phenom is heading to Chicago next month to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show!

According to an Oprah insider, the talk show titan’s April 7 show will be devoted to all things Glee. Highlights will include interviews with the entire cast and series creator Ryan Murphy, never-before-seen backstage video, and, natch, a show-stopping performance.

To further hype the episode, Oprah.com is launching a “destination page” for Gleeks. Beginning the week of March 29, fans will find character guides, Glee I.Q. tests, behind the scenes photo galleries, and more.

The Oprah episode airs the day after the Glee cast is slated to appear at the White House for the annual Easter egg roll. And then Glee itself returns the following Tuesday with the first of nine new episodes.

It’ll be wall-to-wall Gleemania!
