September 2, 2010 (Sampurn Wire):Lea Michele has come a long way since her debut in Broadway and now she is the famous "Rachel" of "Glee". The 24-year old Emmy nominee has been dubbed the "Little Miss Big-Time" and she will grace the magazine's cover for the October issue wearing a short and sexy off-shoulder sweater. Inside the issue, Lea discusses everything from her personal life to her equation with the fellow "Glee" stars.

Lea said that she was oblivious to her singing talent before she auditioned for "Les Miserables". She described herself as a "Ballsy little kid", who felt no fear at all; perhaps this is the reason why she auditioned for Broadway in the first place.

The Bubbly Brunette said that the 'Glee' cast members are her family and she enjoys a special bond with Amber Riley ("Mercedes" in 'Glee'). Talking about Amber, Lea said that she is a big inspiration to her and that she has taught her not to take herself too seriously. Lea refers to her special friend as "Mama Amber" because of her doting big sister attitude.

Talking about her love life, Lea revealed she is dating the Broadway performer Theo Stockman and they are currently involved in a long-distance relationship.
