Bio:
Raised in suburban New Jersey, Lea Michele (born Lea Michele Safarti on August 29, 1987) always dreamt of being a start of the stage — much like the Glee character she would eventually play. As a child, she appeared in several Broadway productions, including Les Miserables and Ragtime. She got her big break in 2006 when she snagged the leading role in Duncan Sheik’s coming-of-age Broadway musical Spring Awakening, but it wasn’t until she was cast as Rachel Berry on FOX’s Glee in 2009 that she became a household name.

Best Known For:
Playing the role of Rachel Berry on the FOX musical comedy Glee.

Personal Life:
After dating Theo Stockman, Lea started a relationship with her Glee co-star Cory Monteith. Their love was tragically cut short when Cory died of a drug overdose on July 13, 2013.

‘Glee’ pays tribute to the late, great Whitney Houston, as the New Directions — and Mr. Schuester — come to terms with their feelings about graduation.
The April 24 episode of Glee honored Whitney Houston just two months after the singing legend’s tragic death. Am I the only one who thinks it’s a little soon? In my humble opinion, the episode felt a little forced, but was not without its bright moments.

And since everyone on the show — be they friend, parent, or overly-involved teacher with boy-band tendencies — is weighing in with their opinion, I figured I’d offer mine up too. I think I speak for many fans when I say that Finn and Rachel tying the knot would be a disaster.

After being spotted with Kurt (Chris Colfer) at Breadstix, Karofsky was tormented by his classmates. Unable to deal with the humiliation of being outed, he tried to hang himself in his closet. Regardless of what he put Kurt through last season, it was hard watching a teary-eyed Karofsky lay out his suit in preparation for the act. Thankfully, his father caught him in the nick of time.

Lea Michele Reportedly Gave Charice The Boot From 'Glee' — And That Infuriates Me!

According to a ‘Glee’ insider, Lea Michele felt threatened by Charice, which is one of the big reasons the pint-sized belter’s stint on the show was cut short! Can you believe it?
This news does not make me happy in the slightest! I’m was confused as to why Charice Pempengco’s character, Sunshine Corazon, was quickly and quietly written off Glee with little to no fanfare — and now we might know why…
