Lea Michele Poses In A Bra & Swimsuit For Sexy ‘V’ Magazine Shoot

Lea Michele is gearing up for the highly-anticipated release of her debut album, Louder, on Mar. 4 — and what better way to celebrate than with a seriously sexy shoot? The 27-year-old was captured by famed photog Terry Richardson for a high-fashion shoot in V magazine’s music issue, where she showed off more skin than ever before. Inside, the interview proved to be just as telling as she discussed her album and how music became her therapy after Cory Monteith‘s untimely death.

Lea Michele — Stevie Nicks Is My Role Model & Helped Me After Cory Monteith’s Death:

Lea met Stevie on the set of Glee, and kept in touch with the talented musician — in fact, she even calls her her role model! “There were people who were like, I am not f*cking leaving your side, and that, for me, was Stevie”, she says. “She’s like a fairy. She’s given me so many gifts along the way, and when I say gifts, I mean tools and advice and support. She told me from the beginning that music is going to be your therapy, and at the time I was like, What the f*ck are you talking about, Stevie Nicks? I don’t want to listen to music. I can’t do anything. But once you get out a little but of the tunnel, when you slowly start to feel like you can be yourself a little bit, it does help. It’s so cool I have her number.”

Lea Michele Rather Stay Home Than Go Clubbing:

While the star loves spending time with her friends, don’t expect to see her falling out of a club at 4AM. “I don’t like things that other people like. I don’t like clubs or crazy, loud music. I don’t drink a lot, and maybe that makes me boring, but I’d rather be in bed watching Homeland with my cat, Sheila, eating a sandwich,” she admits to the magazine.

Along with keeping a low-profile, she admits that she doesn’t mind being a “goody two-shoes” — even if her pals have nicknamed her grandma! “My friends call me Grandma, but like, Grandma’s killing it right now. I’m pretty sure Grandma nailed it in a half-naked Terry Richardson shoot, okay? So I’m fine with it. I just do my thing. I do what’s best for me. That’s it.”
