Happy 26th Birthday, Lea Michele!

A THG favorite turns 26 years old today.

Lea Michele, who portrays Rachel Berry and whose character will head to New York City on Glee Season 4, will likely celebrate the occasion by spending time with at least her costar and boyfriend, Cory Monteith.

Perhaps she'll even sing happy birthday to herself... because that gorgeous girl has some serious pipes!

An accomplished Broadway star, Michele is one of the most versatile young actresses in the business. She has recently played roles in movies such as New Year's Eve and will voice Dorothy in the animated Dorothy of Oz.

Click through the following photos of the birthday girl now and send in your best wishes today!
