The December issue of Details features a cover story on Matthew Morrison -- lady porn alert: he's shirtless throughout -- and includes an interesting aside about Michele's on-set behavior.
Everyone's looking over their lines now, rehearsing dance steps -- except Lea Michele, who keeps staring at me as I observe Morrison. Every time I look up, I catch her looking my way. It seems she knows I'm a reporter and wants my attention.
When Morrison brings over a laptop to show me a movie treatment he's been working on, Michele crosses the set, stands next to me, and starts talking to the show's publicist. "I have a lot of interviews to do," she says. "There's that AIDS blast and..." She turns to look at me. "Oh, hi."
Within minutes the publicist asks me to leave the set. I'm a distraction.
The spotlight is only so big. For what it's worth, Movieline has yet to interview Michele...but we'd love to! We'd even talk about that "AIDS blast" with her. (Call us!) Anyway, forget Grey's Anatomy; if there's a television show that deserves a companion behind-the-scenes reality series, Glee is certainly the one.
