Lea — who has been dating actor/model Matthew Paetz since last year — revealed to host Jimmy Kimmel that there are only three shows left to shoot in the final season of Glee, saying that she has already "thoroughly wanted everyone in my life for a possible total breakdown," and that it's already getting emotional on set.
She explained that while shooting a scene recently, she and co-star Jenna Ushkowitz were tearing up and "literally yelled at each to not get emotional."
"It's going to be tough," she added, before revealing some Glee spoilers. "We're so in the thick of it right now with musical numbers and circus acts, and crazy stuff, it's hard to think that it's going to be done soon."

It also turns out that the "Cannonball" singer got the blessing of Idina Menzel to sing "Let It Go" in the season premiere.
"At first I was sort of worried, because Idina sang it and Demi [Lovato] sang it...you know, so many people have done it. But I got Idina's blessing, which was wonderful," the singer revealed, adding that she didn't call the Frozen star, but that they "were sort of tweeting each other, and she knew it was happening. It's her song, after all, even if it feels like it belongs to the movie."
Even then, however, her nerves got the better of her. "I was super nervous," Lea admitted. "The day didn't start off so well. I was singing, there was snow falling... I looked up, trying to make it magical and beautiful, and ended up choking on the snow and vomiting on the ground.
"And," she added, "they have it in slow-mo, on film. But the rest of the day was great."
She also realized that some of the Glee crew had their kids on set, and they believed her to be the actual Queen Elsa... and she played up to it. Vomit included.
"When the children came up to me.... I was like, this is super weird, I realized, I turned to their parents, and I was like, 'Oh, they think I'm her [Princess Elsa],'" she recalled. "And then it was awesome. I was like, 'I am god right now. I am a Disney princess god!'"

Lea also revealed her obsession with The Bachelor, grilling Kimmel about his appearance this week on the hit ABC show. "Who was the most wasted?" the Glee star asked with, well, unabashed glee.
Lea got Kimmel to admit that the show is all about a "bunch people in a room with about 20 TV monitors, and they're watching everything that's going on which is crazy... I didn't know it was like that."
"I am so obsessed, it's ridiculously unhealthy." Lea added that she got into the show during season 17, which featured entrepreneur Sean Lowe, "which total hooked me, cos Sean was so sweet."
"I am so hooked," she laughed.

And it turns to she absolutely loves new Bachelor, Chris Soules. "I do, I really do," she laughed.
"There was a lot of kissing though this past week," Lea added. "I'm worried, like 'is anyone going to get a cold'?"
She then revealed that she's "a germaphobe," and wanted to know if there was lots of "hand sanitizer and mouthwash all around, like you're in a doctor's office?"
Nope. As is turns out, there's just "vodka and STDs", according to Kimmel.
BUT! As for whether or not she'd ever consider becoming the next Bachelorette, Lea laughed and replied "I think I'm good. Yeah."
Aww.
