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.

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.

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?
