To say that Lea Michele has been waiting to meet Barbra Streisand for a long time is a bit of an understatement. When Movieline caught up with the Glee star last summer to play My Favorite Scene , all she could talk about was Babs’ star-making turn in Funny Girl . “I just related to that movie so much,” she said. “It’s my favorite movie ever.” As anyone who saw her performance at the Tonys — or any minute of Glee , in general — can attest, she wasn’t lying. So, what would happen if Michele ever got the opportunity to meet Streisand out in public? Some hyperventilating and tweeting, of course.

If you’re scoring at home, let’s slot her in just below Aaron Rodgers — but above Werner Herzog and David Lynch — on the list of possible Best Picture presenters . [ Deadline ]

Fantasia Barrino earned rave reviews for playing Celie in Broadway’s The Color Purple , but is the oft-troubled American Idol alum suited for a big-screen triumph? According to a new report, she’s set to play gospel legend Mahalia Jackson in director Euzhan Palcy’s film adaptation of the 1993 book Got to Tell It: Mahalia Jackson, Queen of Gospel . Let’s start with the pettiest question: Is Fantasia a worthier post- Idol Oscar contender than Jennifer Hudson or not?

“The fun but disquieting scenario is if that film wins and five guys in monkey masks come to the stage all saying, ‘I’m Banksy!’ Who the hell do we give it to? That’s the fun part of this job. There’s always some crazy-ass wrinkle you never thought of before.” And with that, Academy executive director Bruce Davis is plotting a “procedure” by which the elusive graffiti artist can claim his Oscar should Exit Through the Gift Shop win Best Documentary, which of course it should and it will. For starters: He’s discouraged from attending. Ha! The guy tagged the West Bank Barrier . Who can stop him? Anyway, I’m free to collect the award that night if anyone needs me, inquire within.

Because Lord knows you just haven’t gotten a close enough read on Melissa Leo’s totally ill-advised (or totally admirable, depending on whom you ask) “Consider…” ad campaign , why not take in this behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot that brought it all together? At the very least it’s got a good beat, and you can dance to it.
