Apparently, Heigl just adopted some poor kid and was looking for a project that wouldn’t require a huge time commitment. New Year’s Eve fits the bill, since as a follow up to Garry Marshall’s surprise hit Valentine’s Day it’s a big ensemble piece. Just a couple pinches of Heigl, as opposed to a whole dish. Dunno why I went with a food metaphor but whatever. New Year’s Eve will also star (deep breath) Robert De Niro, Sofia Vergara, Russell Peters, Hilary Swank, Ice Cube, Ashton Kutcher, Lea Michele, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Josh Duhamel, Sarah Jessica Parker, Abigail Breslin, Seth Meyers, Jessica Biel and Til Schweiger.

“Smokeshow” is not a word one typically associates with showtunes, musicals, or Broadway performances. In the case of “Glee” actress Lea Michele, however, we might just have to make an exception. The 23-year-old star of FOX’s hit comedy-drama was always a looker, but after an appearance in a racy GQ photo series this month, she has officially made the transition from “cute girl in your science class” to “oh my god where can I get a copy of that GQ spread.”

A word from Lea: “I don’t consider the sex scene any more challenging or intense or risky than anything anyone else does on the stage.”

Well "Glee" just got a lot more interesting. GQ explores the "Glee" phenomenon by getting stars Lea Michele and Dianna Agron to take pictures dressed as sexy school girls. There are words too, but I was too busy fixating on the above pic of normally uptight Rachel (Lea Michele) licking a lollipop in white undies. No wonder the cast can’t stop having sex with each other. Why can’t the girls prance around the halls in this getup every week? I wouldn’t care if they sang Michael Bolton nonstop.
