I realized that when I upgraded the gallery there was a problem with the viewing of images … it has been fixed and should be working now. Sorry for the inconvience.

Lea Michele to Receive Billboard’s First-Ever Triple Threat Award At Women in Music

Lea Michele, the 24-year-old Broadway ingenue-turned-breakout star of Fox’s “Glee,” will receive the Triple Threat Award at the 2010 Billboard Women in Music Event on Dec. 2 in New York, it was announced today (Nov. 16). Michele will be celebrated alongside Jazmine Sullivan, who is receiving the Rising Star Award, and Black Eyed Peas vocalist and Grammy-nominated artist Fergie, Billboard’s Woman of the Year.
“I’m so excited!” Michele tells Billboard.com of receiving the honor, which recognizes excellence in performance across acting, singing and dancing. “At work we have a nickname for Matt Morrison — we call him ‘Triple Threat,’ because he’s an incredible singer-dancer-actor. And now I get to borrow that phrase, which is really cool.”
Though Michele quickly became a household name among millions of Gleeks in the last year, she’s been performing since age eight, when she made her Broadway debut as the young Cosette in “Les Misérables.” Roles in “Ragtime” and “Fiddler on the Roof” followed, and in 2006, Michele was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for outstanding actress in a musical, for the Duncan Sheik-composed “Spring Awakening.”
Michele’s move from the Great White Way to Hollywood came in 2009, when “Glee” first premiered on Fox. In just over a year, the show became a pop cultural phenomenon and earned Michele both Golden Globe and Emmy nominatons, for best actress in a musical or comedy series and best actress in a comedy series, respectively. The show also won best musical or comedy television series at the Golden Globes.
The music of “Glee” has been just as successful as the TV show, and in no small part because of Michele, who sings on seven of the cast’s top 10 selling songs — including one of her personal favorites, a cover of Barbra Streisand’s “Don’t Rain on My Parade.” “All of the Barbra Streisand songs I’ve performed I’ve loved: ‘Don’t Rain On My Parade,’ ‘Papa Can You Hear Me,’ and ‘Happy Days are Here Again,” says Michele. “Those were all my favorites. But growing up, my parents listened to a lot of classic rock, like Queen and Led Zeppelin. We did ‘Faithfully’ by Journey at the end of season one, and that was definitely a favorite for me.”

Cory Monteith embarrassed by Elton John meeting
Posted by Ali in Nov 18,2010 with No Comments
Cory Monteith pretended to be a waiter when he met Sir Elton John.
The ‘Glee’ star was taken by his co-star Lea Michele to meet the singer at his Academy Awards party but felt awkward when he realised the ‘Rocket Man’ hitmaker was about to sit down to eat, so decided to take a humorous approach to their first meeting.
He told Maclean’s magazine: “I asked him, ‘Is there anything I can get you sir? Another beer?’ Maybe I was too convincing, as he just said, ‘No, thank you,’ and never looked up from the chicken.”
Embarrassed, Cory decided to try again, asking: “Are you sure? Some water, perhaps?” and received only a shake of the singer’s head.
Cory who plays heartthrob Finn Hudson in the musical drama – eventually gave up his pretence and was introduced to Elton by Lea, but admits the meeting still didn’t go the way he had hoped.
Cory explained: “He just gave me a ‘what-the-hell’ look, shook my hand and went back to his dinner. It was one of the most embarrassing experiences of my life.”
Meanwhile, Lea – who plays Cory’s on-screen girlfriend Rachel Berry in ‘Glee’ – has spoken about how comfortable the pair are working together after two series of the show.
She said: “We’re such good friends that we’ve passed that level of weirdness. Cory farts in front of me.”

O-M-Glee: Cory & Lea speek to Teen Vogue

Teen Vogue
by Lauren Waterman
With triple-threat talent and starring roles on TV’s hottest series, Broadway baby Lea Michele and rising heartthrob Cory Monteith are making geek chic.
A perfect harmony is always pretty. But some of the best duets derive their power—and their charm—from the way that they blend two very different voices. Consider this summer’s inescapable “California Gurls”: The Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg collaboration layered a clear, lilting soprano over a somewhat rougher male vocal to memorable (and catchy) effect.
A similar dynamic is at work in the relationship between Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, the artfully mismatched pair at the center of FOX’s musical smash hit Glee. The two actors have even less in common than their in-love alter egos, Rachel and Finn: Lea’s an ambitious ex–New Yorker who made her Broadway debut at the age of eight—the part of a driven would-be star was written, series cocreator Ryan Murphy has said, with her in mind. And Cory’s a Canadian-born former odd-jobber who was so unsure of his singing that he elected to “drum on Tupperware and wineglasses” with a pair of unsharpened pencils during his first audition for the show.
Yet at their recent Teen Vogue interview, conducted over lunch at a favorite Los Angeles café, the two stars demonstrated a winningly effervescent—and utterly un-fake-able—rapport.
Teen Vogue: So, you guys have gone from relatively unknown to pretty ubiquitous in the past eighteen months, thanks to the success of Glee. Do you feel like you’re finally getting everything you worked so hard for?
Cory Monteith: No. I don’t feel like I was working toward this at all! I didn’t even know that you could get paid to be an actor when I first started doing this.
