‘Glee’ season 5 notes: Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and Naya Rivera

Can you believe that we are finally getting close to the start of “Glee” season 5? The wait has been long, strange, and at times entertaining, but the beloved Fox hit is now closer than ever to coming back on the air. For many of the cast members, this means trying to just take advantage of the opportunity to now get in as much rest and relaxation as they possibly can, before they are back to work.

Lea Michele’s getaway – As you may have read from some recent articles, Lea took advantage of the opportunity on this Fourth of July Weekend to head to a tropical destination, and she now has this photo to show for it, which she posted on her official Twitter account. The actress has shown a knack for visiting tropical locales as of late, having posted a variety of photos from many of them.

Naya Rivera’s preparation – In what is hardly surprising news, the actress behind Santana also posted this weekend that she has a new cover shoot coming up today. While we don’t quite know what this publication is just yet, she has recently covered Glow Magazine, and has worked pretty tirelessly all summer long when it comes to getting her name and her face out there for some other ventures, including a solo album.

Chris Colfer – Finally, Chris shared a photo on his Instagram of him preparing for his role in the “Star Wars”-inspired Course of the Force relay to benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation … and his preparation consists of him sitting on board an airplane with Chewbacca. If Chewie paid for that first-class seat, we will definitely be impressed.
