Glee star talks about bing a Little Monster...

Darren Criss is a big fan of Lady Gaga. The Glee star recently told Billboard.com that he was speechless when he met her at this week's Trevor Live benefit.

"Myself, Amy Adams and Rashida (Jones), a bunch of us were sitting like 12-year-old girls, because we knew Stefani Germanotta, Lady Gaga, was going to walk in," Criss said. "We all just kind of casually played it off like we weren't waiting, but then we all said to each other, 'we're all waiting because Lady Gaga is coming in here, right?'"

While Darren didn't get to talk with Gaga, he still found himself starstruck. "We just kind of gawked in silent wonderment," he said. "She came in with her stilts and her crew of many, and we all had a really lovely moment together. It was like watching an eclipse."
