Man, sometimes I’m really back and forth about Lea Michele. Sometimes I think she’s an insufferable drama queen, sometimes I think she’s alright; sometimes I think she’s kind of odd-looking, sometimes I think she’s positively gorgeous – and this time around, she’s scored high in both categories. After seeing these photos of her Bazaar shoot and reading the corresponding interview, I have to say she’s both alright AND gorgeous. For today. You guys know I can’t promise what tomorrow’s going to hold.
On her career:
“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.”
On her looks:
“How many managers told me, ‘Get a nose job. You’re not pretty enough’? But I proved them wrong.”
On rumors that she’s a totally vapid diva bitch:
“People have to remember this is all new for us We’re all reasonably young, except for Cory [Monteith], who’s old. … I’ve learned some lessons, but people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I’m not perfect.”
On her friends and boyfriend:
“I have a small life. I just want to be around them [Glee castmates] all day. [On a typical night, she and Stockman] “cook dinner and have wine.”
See? Sort of likable this time around, right? She’s got the ambition that I so admire in a person, the “small life,” as she says, and the foresight to know claiming perfection at such young age is career suicide. It works for now.
She’s kinda like Natalie Portman with the beak of a giant condor, but in the sweetest way possible.
Can’t stand her – she is pretentious. And for what? She is ug-lee!!!! Sorry – she just is…
Maybe she’s pretentious because, you know, she’s talented…
I have nothing against her, but the white top on the white background makes her chest look so awkward. Like they airbrushed off a nipple or something…
she looks like natalie portman’s less attractive sister on that cover.
