Although the rumor mill has been all a-Twitter (Get it?  Because Twitter is the rumor mill these days!) about his possible departure from FOX’s mega-hit, Glee, Cory Montheith, has revealed that he will not be graduating from the show that made him a star.

Oh, thank goodness!

In a recent interview, Montheith spoke out about his decision not to end his run as the goofy, yet charming, Finn - despite the fact that his character is slated to graduate from McKinley High this spring.

I think it’s a great show. Some seasons have been better than others. I think through all the ups and downs, ratings wise, creatively, whatever, there’s still something I really love and something I want to be a part of. And creatively, I think Finn still has a story to tell. I think it would be too soon for him not to be on the show, and it’s a very important part of what Glee is and what fans of the show have come to expect from the show. I kind of feel like it’s a responsibility in a way, a happy responsibility to carry the storyline forward. And I like my job and I like working.

Is anyone else as excited as I am about this hunka-hunka-burnin’ star hanging around for at least one more season!?!?

No, you’re not going crazy.  The Hills star Lauren Conrad was just caught making out in a club with Chace Crawford, but apparently, she’s keeping her options open.  Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that!

According to reports, Conrad and Glee star Cory Monteith were verrrrry flirty when they ran into each other at Beacher’s Madhouse at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood Saturday.  Sources say they even saw L.C. slip C.M. her digits!

It may just be me, but I think Conrad and Monteith would make an adorable couple – he’s just such a cutie!

And there’s just something about a guy with a good set of pipes…

The cast and crew of FOX’s hit series Glee, celebrated their 300th musical number yesterday and began preparing themselves for the show’s season premiere new week – and rumor has it that breakout stars Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith are going to get a run for their money.  Apparently, “background players” Naya Rivera, Amber Riley and Heather Morris are going to be taking center stage this season.

Who’s excited!?!?

BRING ON THE GLEEKS!

While his character on the hit FOX show Glee certainly has a way with the ladies, actor Cory Monteith says he’s just too shy ’round the ladyfolk to nail down a serious girlfriend.

Apparently the loveably affable Monteith’s goofy sense of humor and quite ways don’t translate well to the L.A. dating scene.  According to Finn, er – Cory,

I’m reserved and quite shy when it comes to girls… I take myself pretty seriously. I am pretty goofy and make a lot of dumb jokes and that is kinda how I communicate a lot of the time.

Sounds perfectly delightful to me – and the guy and sing!  What more could a girl want?

Besides being a talented actor, Monteith is doing his part to set a good example of how to enjoy the spotlight, without getting into trouble.

I’m having a really good time. I don’t drink so I save myself a lot of pain that way… I don’t understand how people make those kind of mistakes. It’s so easily avoided.

Anyone looking for a charming, funny, talented, sober guy in Hollywood?  Call 555-2424.

Strike a pose!

The cast of Glee is on board with Vogue magazine and the Council of Fashion Designers of America to promote the annual Fashion’s Night Out event.

The PSA features Lea Michele and the cast taking on David Bowie‘s classic song “Fashion” and the entire video will debut on August 23rd on Vogue’s website.

Dianna Agron, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Jenna Ushkowitz and almost all the cast were involved – notably absent was Naya Rivera and Amber Riley.

FNO will take place on September 8th at participating in over 250 cities world wide with special extended hours, promotions and deals. Leading retailers including Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s and Nordstroms are among the businesses taking part.

he plays Finn, the naive (and sometimes dim) football player on Glee, Cory Monteith‘s real-life past might be closer to Puck’s rebellious ways.

Monteith tells Parade magazine he was in a world of trouble as a young teen addict and drop out.

“I burned a lot of bridges,” he says. “I was out of control.”

At that point, so was his drug use. Monteith admits, “Anything and everything, as much as possible,” he says. “I had a serious problem.”

After a couple of tries at rehab, Cory, now 29, confesses that he did what many addicts do to loved ones: steal from them.

“I stole a significant amount of money from a family member,” he admits. “I knew I was going to get caught, but I was so desperate I didn’t care. It was a cry for help. I was confronted and I said, ‘Yeah, it was me.’ It was the first honorable, truthful thing that had come out of my mouth in years.”

This time, he was truly serious about recovery and knew he had to change. Monteith says although he’s a private person, he wants others to understand even though he’s successful now, it was a long hard road to get there.

“I don’t want kids to think it’s okay to drop out of school and get high, and they’ll be famous actors, too. … But for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it. If I can, anyone can.”

New York City is in full Glee-mania.

The cast of the hit TV show are filming the finale (the New Directions group is headed to Nationals) on the East Coast and Mayor Bloomberg took time out to welcome them at a press conference held at the Gershwin Theater.

Joking with the cast, the Big Apple Mayor said “Mayors don’t get a lot of time to watch television, so I don’t know much about this season’s plot but actually it would be great to see what happens with Finn and Rachel.”

“We’ve been filming ‘Glee’ in Los Angeles for two years. We’ve never met the mayor there,” said executive producer Dante Di Loreto.

The show is filming the season two episode (to air May 24th) and they will be around until the 29th. They are scheduled to shoot scenes at some of the major landmarks, including Lincoln Center, Times Square and Central Park.

So far, most of the cast has been spotted, papped and twitterazzi’d all around the city.

Cory Monteith, Chord Overstreet, Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Jenna Ushkowitz, Heather Morris, Mark Salling and lots more of the cast are pictured below.

Photos of the conference plus their first day of shooting are below.  Read more »

Pasedena, California was the site for FOX TCA Winter Press Tour party and the majority of the Glee cast was there to answer questions from the television critics.

Dianna Agron, Heather Morris, Jenna Ushkowitz and Naya Rivera all looked beautiful for the event.

Cory Monteith, Harry Shum Jr, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Kevin McHale and Mark Salling represented almost all the guys of Glee.

Noticeably absent were Lea Michele, Amber Riley and Chord Overstreet who were still filming and unable to get there.

Lots of pictures below.

Selena Gomez would be happy to do something musical with Cory Monteith and Cory has a great voice that she loves.

Gomez said Monteith would kid around with Leighton Meester and her because Leighton and Selena were always singing on the set of their film Monte Carlo. Monteith would tell them he “just left Glee” but join in with the girls as they sang.

How about all three on a song?

Monte Carlo starring Selena Gomez has a new release date. The film’s opening date of February 11th has changed to July 1st, 2011.

The reason for the switch is perhaps the competition in February – Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never is set for the Valentine’s Day weekend market and Sel’s Carlo costar Leighton Meester, has The Roommate out the week before February 4th. Both of those films will draw heavily from the same crowd of moviegoers. The date in July pits it against Transformers: Dark of the Moon – a much different fan base.

Katie Cassidy and Cory Monteith costar in the romantic comedy about three girls on vacation in Paris who head to Monte Carlo after being mistaken for an heiress and find themselves at the center of attention.
