Lea Michele film debut in "New Year's Eve": co-stared by Ashton Kutcher

Grammy and People's Choice Award winning American actress and singer Lea Michele is going to be seen in ' New Year's Eve,' the new romantic comedy opening this weekend. In this debut film she is playing the role of Elise. With her there are also stars like Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, Ashton Kutcher, and Jessica Biel in the film directed by Garry Marshall. when Michele found out she would be acting opposite Kutcher, she "freaked out" and felt he was "out of my league."

The "Glee" actress told New York magazine that director Garry Marshall asked her which actor she wanted to co-star in her vignette about a pair of strangers who get stuck in an elevator on New Year's Eve. Michele said, "this guy's like, the hottest guy, and then when they called and said that Ashton was doing it, I was really freaked out. I thought I should have picked someone else and said, 'You have to use this person!' so I wouldn't have been nervous. But I'm so glad, because he challenged me, and it was a really great pairing, I think."

Ashton Kutcher is also interested working with her. He said, "I think what makes her great for this particular role is she has this passionate aspiration and I think that she's able to express that really cleanly."

In an interview provided by Warner Bros. Pictures Michele asked her co-star Kutcher to spend the holiday with her but the "Two and a Half Man" actor said "I don't know where I'm going to be on New Year's, I haven't sorted it out. I was going to try to crash a UFO into the Mayan temples, just to see how people would react to that, but I decided that maybe I don't want to work that hard." Lea Michele is also working as Dorothy Gale in a new film Dorothy of Oz which will hit the silver screen in 2012.

63rd Primetime Emmy Awards: Who Wore What? Lea Michele of "Glee" in Marchesa Resort 2012

Lea Michele wears custom Marchesa modified from the Resort 2012 Collection: As you can see in the Marchesa Resort 2012 Look Book, it is in a silver metallic jacquard and on actress Lea Michele it's in a red crepe. Also, the original sleeves are fitted ones, whereas on Lea, they've become cap sleeves with draped shoulder detail. What do you guys think? Is the original design better or do you like the new "custom" one on Lea? Either way, the back is beautiful.

17th Annual SAG Awards: Who Wore What? Lea Michele in Oscar De La Renta Spring 2011

Lea Michele in Oscar De La Renta Spring 2011

Well it looks like the Oscar de la Renta pr machine is working hard! Lots of the top ladies love themselves some Oscar. Michelle Obama might not--according to all those Washington DC/NYC tabloids--but Hollywood ladies do! Here, "Glee" actress Lea Michele--who's worn Oscar de la Renta before--hit a High note with this slinky all-over beaded gown.

It's refreshing to see Lea in a not-so-structured architectural gown (like she's worn before) and although, I liked her Golden Globes gown, many did not--including my TV Guide Fashion Wrap partner Jen Rade (we fought about that decision of mine for MINUTES!). So, I can see why maybe she took a less structural gown route this time. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the messy hair. To think that someone got payed A LOT of money (I am guessing since I know those stylists charge a hefty fee for Awards Show Red Carpet) to do that, it almost makes me shiver. But I like the gown Miss Lea!

What do guys think? Of the Gown? The hair?

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta Spring 2011

Here is actress Lea Michele from "Glee" in light pink one-shoulder silk taffeta Oscar de la Renta Spring 2011. Lea wore a strapless black Oscar de la Renta ball gown last year and got rave reviews for it so it makes sense for her (and her stylist) to return to "tried and true".

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this gown! It's ARCHITECTURAL DRAPING at its finest. The side cascade ruffle draping ever-so at the side; ending into a side falling train is PERFECTION and gives you just the right amount of DRAMA! Definitely one of my favorites of the night (and she's my first girl!).
