LEA MICHELE RECEIVES BILLBOARD'S FIRST TRIPLE THREAT AWARD

Glee's resident diva Lea Michele will be honored by Billboard Magazine with it's first ever Triple Threat Award at their annual Billboard Women in Music Event on December 2nd. Lea tells Billboard, "I'm so excited! At work we have a nickname for Matt Morrison -- we call him 'Triple Threat,' because he's an incredible singer-dancer-actor. And now I get to borrow that phrase, which is really cool." Well considering Lea Michele has been on Broadway since she was 8 years-old, I think this award is pretty fitting. Billboard Editorial director Bill Werde states, "Billboard created the triple Threat Award this year to recognize the incredible contribution that Lea Michele has made to music, as a star on Glee. Glee has rewritten the Billboard charts this year and Lea has been one of the driving stars of that success. Whether she's covering Britney or Broadway, Madonna or Rihanna, she always manages to bring out the most in her songs in a way that is distinctly Rachel, and by extension, Lea. Phenomena aren't always backed by true talent, but in this case, it's clear that Lea has what it takes as as singer, a dancer and an actor to be a star for years to come." YAY!! I love Lea Michele and she deserves all the success coming to her. Glee is still killing it in the ratings every Tuesday night at 8 PM on Fox. [source]
