E! Online spoke with GLEE star Lea Michele last night at the CAA party for the GLAAD Media Awards and reports details on what awaits the multi-talented 'Rachel Berry' as the hit series makes its return on April 13, including a guest appearance by Michele's former 'Spring Awakening' co-star Jonathan Groff.

From E! Online:

E!: It seems like everyone on Twitter wants to know if Rachel ends up with Finn or Puck. So, what's the deal?

LM: I think you'll see a little bit of both in the back nine. But I do think Rachel's heart is with Finn. But, as you know, I have my new love interest-Jesse ST. James!

E!: So what's it like kissing your real-life best friend? I mean, you're kind of used to it after doing it every night when you were costarring on Broadway in Spring Awakening?

LM: It had been a really long time, so it was interesting when we had to do it for the first time on Glee. But we had also done it so many times before that we sort of just jumped right back into it.

E!: Idina Menzel is also guest starring on the show, but she doesn't sing in her first episode. When will she?

LM: You'll have to see [laughs]. Of course, she has to sing. We haven't done anything together, but I hope we will.

Recent winner of the People's Choice Award for Best New Comedy and Golden Globe winner for Best Television Series Comedy or Musical, GLEE, the new musical comedy series, follows an optimistic teacher who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.

The show, which also garnered Golden Globe recognition, stars Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Jessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.

Due to the success of the first installment of the show, which aired last on December 9, FOX has already ordered a second season of the show and announced that it will soon be launching a nationwide search to cast three new roles, which will be documented on the network in the multi-part special. These newest additions will make their debut on the second season premiere.

GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk and Dante di Loreto serve as executive producers, while Ian Brennan serves as co-executive producer.

GLEE returns to FOX from hiatus on April 13, 2010. For information on the upcoming GLEE tour this summer, visit www.gleetour2010.com.
