Lea Michele has a lot going for her. The beauty is a part of the huge film New Year's Eve and has been seen flirting with co-star Ashton Kutcher on the red carpet. Another big rumored opportunity has been auditioning for the part of Eponine in Les Miserables.

Lea told New York Magazine that it's true she auditioned, but it's awkward having everyone know. "How embarrassing if I don't get it!," she told the magazine. "I was just talking to my publicist yesterday that it didn't used to be like this in the business: I've been up for a lot of movies before that I really wanted to get, but now, people know a lot more than they used to and it's all out there."

She continued, "Like, I remember when my co-star Dianna Agron was up for Spider-Man that the news was online, and I felt really uncomfortable for her. I mean, yeah, it's super cool that you're in consideration, but it's also a really private thing, and then if you don't get it."

"But I'm happy to be considered, and I'm happy to be in the realm of the other girls who are being considered because that's the coolest thing for me. When I heard the other people they were considering, I was like, Wow, this is awesome. I became like, a fan dork girl."
