So Lea Michele, that girl on that show that I’ve never watched, has made a bunch of statements about body image and weight and looks and other things that are just plain dangerous for a teen star who recently lost of a ton of weight to be making. While her message seems to be good, her actions don’t really match up. What happens when an actress who looks like she weighs 110 pounds says that she’s trying to give girls of the world self-confidence by embracing her flaws? A bunch of totally idiotic statements.
From PopEater:
On why being Italian has freed her of Hollywood’s pressure to be perfect: “I come from a big Italian family and the pressure is not really anything I’ve been raised to feel.”
On her ‘Jewish nose’: “I’ve always been proud of my body, my Jewish nose and all of that. Hollywood’s Hollywood, but that’s not going to change.”
On why her ethnicity almost kept her off of television: “I never really thought there would be a place on television for me. I have a very specific look. I’m Jewish. I’m Italian.”
On Barbara Streisand’s ‘Jewish nose’: “I remember looking up to Barbara Streisand, and thinking, ‘Finally, someone who has a Jewish nose, who didn’t get a nose job.'”
On what she hopes all of this talk of dissing her ethnicity and acting like her body is normal will do: “If that is inspiring and can give young girls a sense of confidence, that’s great.”
First of all, I love that this chick says she looked at Babs and said, “Finally.” As if there was ever a point in her life where Barbara Streisand was not a super, mega-famous star. Babs has been famous since peanut butter was invented.
Secondly, is this chick high? No place for unconventional looking women in television and film? Nicki Blonsky? Jennifer Grey? Heather Matarazzo? You guys have anything to say about that? I bet Jennifer Grey does. I bet Jennifer Grey would tell you that lopping off her “Jewish nose” was what actually killed her career.
What I think Miss Lea needs to do is go rent herself a copy of Precious and reevaluate her definition of a unique looking woman making it in Hollywood, ’cause despite what a strange flower she thinks she is, I’m pretty sure I saw fifteen girls just like her at the mall last week. Dumbass.
I’m picturing the girl from Precious right now. It’s not a pleasant experience.
I -do- think that it’s neat that Lea Michelle looks different from other attractive young actresses while -still- remaining attractive. That’s important. She’s super cute.

Having a ‘jewis nose’ should in fact be a plus in Hollywood since Hollywood itself is predominantly Jewish. Announcing to all and sundry that ur jewish may even further ur career so don’t despair. Just take a look at that adrien brody guy he’s got a whole buncha big budget movies on the go ‘jewish nose’ and all apart from him being no oil painting and ignoring th fact that he’s hopelessly miscast 4 th lead in the predator sequel or wotever is… So wots my point? Get over urself I’d like to say to that young lady and those who see th need to constantly remind 1 of their ethnicity or ancestry. Bad enough I’m reminded of th Jews existence as a people in almost every american television show or movie I watch by way of symbolism or direct references to Judaism. Its pointless n tiresome n there’s a fine line between being proud n downright annoying…
Oh, it makes me so sad to think of what Jennifer Grey did to herself. She was so adorable and a great young actress.
I thought she was middle eastern.
. . .
Jewish -is- a middle-eastern ethnicity. Semitic ethnicities originate from the Levant region, which is about as middle-eastern as one could possibly get.
Is anyone else seeing a giant “Creative Harvest” advertisement plastered across the top of the page? I can’t view the first headline or photo from any page of this site. What’s the deal?
Look, if you have an issue with ads, here or anywhere else then:
1. GET FIREFOX
2. INSTALL an add-on called ADBLOCK PLUS (restart your browser and choose one of the filter subscriptions (i use the default fanboy one).
3. Surf any site, you will never see an ad again.
Thx ls. I knew there was something I could do, but wasn’t sure what it was!
Thanks so much! I did what you said and everything is great now. I appreciate you :-)
is there a problem with weighing 110 pounds? you guys really need to stop picking on this girl because she’s not fat, like you all apparently are. geez. she’s not anorexic looking and she’s not an overly tanned blonde bimbo. i don’t see the problem here.
i don’t watch glee and i’m not jewish or italian, but… i think this girl’s quotes are being taken the wrong way. she’s trying to empower girls, and what it comes down to is that she’s not an experienced speaker, who knows which words to watch and she’s not being super careful or politically correct – and really, i like her for it. that’s just how some people speak. “jewish nose” coming from someone of jewish decent? big deal. if ti was a jewish comedian we would have no issue with it. i just feel like she’s saying it how it is, and people are looking for some fault in her statements.
and yes, hollywood does embrace some unconventional women, but again, let’s be real – most of the chicks running around hollywood trying to make it big, and most of the ones who have actually hit it big, are beauty queens – and a ton have had some kind of plastic surgery! i think this girl should say what she feels and should be praised for being real instead of checking with her publicist every time she gives a statement.
If I were her, I would be more concerned about her IRON square man jaw. Her nose doesn’t look Jewish to me at all, and to assume all Jewish people have big pointy Paris Hilton noses THAT is bizarre LOL. If only Jennifer Gray could have been around with her nose in this day and age, her and Paris could be twinsies! :P
wow, scathing much.
I kept reading waiting for her to say anything that you were saying she was. Am I missing something?
How does this girl differ from other Hollywood celebs? I sure as hell can’t see the difference. Plain ol’ boooooooooooring. I just think she’s trying real hard to stay relevant.
I agree her actions don’t match with her words in real life/on the red carpet with her caking up all her unique features to look like every other girl and looking as thin as Jennifer Aniston. But I have to say on the show she looks relatively more unconventional (her nose is a lot more obvious). Nonetheless she’s still a white girl in a lead role.
And the other actresses that you compared her with Heather, Jen, etc though I like them much more than lea, they’re either off the mainstream radar or has beens, Lea arguably reaches a much larger audience being on a network show.
atures to look like every other girl and looking as thin as Jennifer Aniston. But I have to say on the show she looks relatively more unconventional (her nose is a lot m
I can’t visit this site anymore. That little toolbar thing at the top of tha page makes a clicky nose and it comes down and I can’t read the first headline or see the top half of the picture if I click on one of these ‘stories.’ Like right now, I can only see Lea Michelles chest…It’s fucking annoying. Thanks and goodbye.
Jeez Molls, did this girl pick on you in high school or something? Get off her ass. She said nothing wrong here. It’s like you’re trying to find things wrong with her lately.
she didnt say anything stupid in those quotes
youre dumb.
I agree. You, Molls(I prefer mole..), or whatever your name is, needs to get off lea’s ass. Reading the entire thing, you seem to have a problem with her weight and her statements on self confidence, which according to you is stupid.
You think she’s a hypocrite because she lost weight?… I can’t think of any other reasons because she never had a nose,face, boob or whatever job done on her(which is commendable, by the way). Anyway, there’s NOTHING wrong with losing some weight unless its unhealthy.Get it? There could be a reason for the weight loss, and it’s none of your business. I think she looks hot the way she was and is — as long as she stays healthy. So there’s no flaw there that needs to be embraced.
And you attacking her statements on Streisand is ridiculous. Your missing her point, she said “FINALLY” as in – finally a FAMOUS person who embraces her natural looks – she didn’t mention Barbara not being famous. Your attack on her was way off – plus it made no sense whatsoever.
Also, she wasn’t implying that there would be no place for unconventional looking people in Hollywood – More like ‘People in Hollywood are expected to be perfect in every way that it puts pressure on the stars to make corrections.’ Again, you are off, witch.
dumbass? really? I only see 1 dumbass here.
Obviously those criticizing her do not have teenage girls and do not have a clue regarding the pressure put on them to blonde hair blue eyed bimbos. There is nothing wrong with what she said and nothing wrong with her actions. She is not a Lindsay Lohan, she comes to work on time to do a job and does it. She is a professional and that is what gets her in trouble she cares more about doing her job and doing it well then worrying about those people who are not as professional and that pisses them off and all they can say is she is a diva. The plain fact of the matter is that she cares about her work not necessarily the fame and is a novice with dealing with people and their dumbassness. Like the person who wrote this article.
She’s really saying that she never expected to appear on FOX with a jewish nose!
Of course Molls has a problem with Lea. Molls is ugly, fat and has no talent. Lea is gorgeous, thin and incredibly successful…
i’m not so sure molls is ugly, fat, or talentless….good try, though.
uh.. do you even READ her pieces?

She sounds quite dumb to me. Barbara Streisand ‘FINALLY’ embracing “looking Jewish”…really?! Barbara Streisand had a booming career long before Lea was even a twinkle in her mother’s eye.
And..what exactly is a “Jewish nose”? I have heard this expression SO many times and every time I hear it I want to punch the person in the neck. I’m Jewish myself, and guess what, I have a very tiny nose. It’s quite sad that she herself isn’t embracing what she has and uses such a stereotypical expression to describe her assets.
It’s 2010, not everyone in the entertainment industry is all one race/religion/ethnicity. People work damn hard to try to break free of negative stereotyping, you would think being in the public eye she would choose her words more wisely.
what are you talking about?! seriously, do you even understand what she stated. Lea knows barbs is famous, she even used her as an example of a FAMOUS person who loves her look without surgery.
you don’t know what a Jewish nose is and you’re jew? well well, what a surprise lol. Lea used that “expression” because Jewish nose is Jewish nose, what else should she call it? she said she loves her jewish nose, so what are you on about here
you.suck.ass go make fun of lindsey lohan or something
what exactly is unconventional about her looks?
You tell anyone who doesnt like your nose that you have a big half Cherokee half Scot pal who wants their home address.
lol @ nicki blonsky being famous. D list.
She really should get it fixed. That is all I can see when I look at her.
She is beeautiful!
The girls hot nose and all. Im looking to do an Indie film will work free . just need room and board. IM a real police constable
ugly as fuck
streisand’s an ugly too
*as
Glee sucks balls
Please stop writing for this site, Molls. You kind of suck.
I don’t think 110 pounds is exactly horrifically skinny for a girl whose 5’2″. It sounds like a perfectly reasonable weight to be at that height.
So, yet another article with the words “Lea Michele” and “Jewish” in the title. The point is driven home once again: out of all the Jewish and part Jewish actresses out there, she’s the one whose Jewishness we need to know and remember about, since she’s ugly as hell. Great. Point taken.
Will I ever see the words “Logan Lerman” and “Jewish” in the same title, in as high a frequency? Of course not. Logan Lerman is about a 100 times better looking than Lea Michele, and he’s also 100% Jewish, which Lea Michele is not even close to being (since her mother is not Jewish).
Lea Michele stated on national television that she was raised Catholic, and that her Jewish father “gladly” attends church with her and her mother.
The book is closed.
Now, let’s pretend the last two and a half years never happened, and you guys in the mainstream media can start writing about people with two Jewish parents being Jewish, like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Logan Lerman, Mila Kunis, and Anton Yelchin.
