  • Lea Michele & Matthew Paetz Make Public Appearance

    Lea Michele and her boyfriend Matthew Paetz made their first public appearance together during Wednesday’s amfAR Inspiration Gala in Los Angeles, California.

    The Glee star walked the red carpet alone, but was later photographed cuddling up to her new beau.

    The couple reportedly met on the set of Michele’s music video On My Way in April, and as Webpronews previously reported, Michele and Paetz were linked as a couple just a month later in June.

    At the time, it was revealed that Paetz was a former gigolo for a male escort service called Cowboys4Angels. On the service’s website, Paetz went under the alias “Christian,” however his profile has since been removed.

    “He will be great arm candy and he is a very nice guy, and is a lot of fun,” a source said of Paetz and Michele dating. “He is very into being in a relationship and loves being in one. He is the kind of person who will want to be with that person all the time, but in a good way. And he is a good listener.”

    While the relationship may have started as a fling to help Michele cope with the death of her boyfriend and Glee co-star Cory Monteith, it seems as though the relationship has progressed and is now serious.

    According to a source close to Michele, the couple recently took a big step in their relationship and moved in together. “It just made sense for them to move in cause they spend so much time with one another,” a source told Us Weekly. “He treats her like a queen.”

  • Jane Lynch Finalizes Divorce From Wife Lara Embry to the Tune of $1.2 Million Plus Residuals

    Jane Lynch and Lara Embry’s divorce was finalized on Tuesday, after more than four years of marriage.

    TMZ reports that the Glee star will have to fork over $1.2 million to her ex over a two-year period, according to Los Angeles Superior Court documents. Perhaps even more lucrative, Embry, a clinical psychologist, will also receive half of Lynch’s residuals received from Glee, Two and a Half Men, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and many more shows that she produces.

    The Hollywood Game Night host and Embry also will split joint bank accounts totaling $847,485, a 401K totaling $315,079 and their 2012 tax refund of $56,810. They’ve agreed to sell their membership to the Mulholland Tennis Club and will split the profits.

    Embry will keep the couple’s L.A. Yacht Club membership and keep the couple’s dog, Francis.

    According to the documents, the Glee star will get the home she shared with Embry, a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and a 2013 Audi.

    Lynch announced her separation from Embry in June 2013. The following month, Lynch filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

    At the time, the actress said in a statement it had “been a difficult decision for us [to end the marriage] as we care very deeply about one another.”

    The 54-year-old Emmy Award-winner brushed off the financial aspect of the split when she spoke with Access Hollywood in August 2013.

    “It’s just money,” said Lynch. California “is a half and half state, as well as it should be, so that’s fine.”

    Lynch also said single life was treating her “fine.”

    The actress has been keeping busy during these difficult months, making her nightclub debut in June with a four-night stand in front of a three-piece band at the 54 Below club.

  • Jane Lynch’s Divorce Is Officially Finalized

    Jane Lynch is officially a divorced woman.

    According to Billboard, the Glee star and her wife Dr. Lara Embry, a clinical psychologist, had their divorce approved by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ralph C. Hofer on Monday, October 27.

    The couple married on Memorial Day in 2010 in Massachusetts. However, their marriage didn’t last long and Lynch filed for divorce in July 2013, citing irreconcilable differences.

    Earlier this year, Lynch opened up about her decision to get a divorce during an interview with Larry King on his web series Larry King Now. She revealed that it was wonderful being married to Embry, but they had mutually decided to move on from each other.

    “It’s just two people who just decide it’s better to go apart than stay together,” Lynch explained.

    Both women have remained very mature through the ordeal and have tried to make the transition as easy as possible for Embry’s two daughters, Haden and Chase.

    “Yeah, all’s good…She has a little girl who’s very dear to me. She’s 10 and she’s doing great,” Lynch said. “It’s not dramatic, it’s not a horrible thing. It’s something that we’re dealing with.”

    “We have to remain adults, which we have,” Lynch added. “We keep everybody — especially Haden’s — good in our mind.”

    Per the settlement, Embry is to receive $1.2 million over the next two years.

  • Gwyneth Paltrow Dating ‘American Horror Story’ Producer?

    Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly dating Brad Falchuk–one of the producers of both American Horror Story and Glee. The New York Post calls them an ‘open couple,’ but only when they circulate among Hollywood’s rich and famous.

    A source tells them Paltrow and Falchuck are “openly dating, but behind closed doors,” and that entertainment pros know them as a couple. “They go to private Hollywood parties together.”

    Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk supposedly spend time together this summer in both L.A. and the Hamptons–and they even went on a vacation to Utah some time after Gwyneth and Coldplay front man Chris Martin ‘consciously uncoupled.’

    Always one to keep up appearances, however, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted last week, along with Chris Martin and their children at a family dinner. She was reportedly stroking Chris Martin’s face as they said goodbye.

    Does Gwyneth Paltrow get to have her cake and eat it, too? Is that why she doesn’t seem all too concerned about Chris Martin dating Jennifer Lawrence? She has some stiff competition there–don’t you think? Jennifer Lawrence is young and beautiful–and she eats real food.

    What do you suppose this whole consciously uncoupling business means for Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin? Does it mean they’re both simply taking a couple of years to have relationships with other people? Do you think they have any intention of one day consciously coupling again? You must admit it’s bizarre.

    In the meantime Gwyneth Paltrow also made news for busting a move during one of fitness guru Tracy Anderson’s workout classes just a couple of days ago.

    So do you think Gwyneth Paltrow is staying in tip-top sexy shape for Brad Falchuk or Chris Martin? Does this conscious uncoupling mean she can have her cake and eat it, too?

  • Renee Puente & Matthew Morrison Tie The Knot

    Renee Puente said “I do” to her fiancé Matthew Morrison over the weekend.

    According to People, Puente and the Glee star tied the knot during an intimate ceremony on Saturday. The ceremony took place in front of 50 of their close friends and family members at a “private estate in Kihei on the island of Maui, Hawaii.”

    “It was a small affair,” a source told Us Weekly. “They wanted to keep it intimate and special.”

    The couple looked stylish as ever with the groom wearing a Brooks Brothers tuxedo and the bride wearing a custom made Gustavo Cadile gown. Puente also had one-of-a-kind shoes designed by Emmy London.

    The tropical wedding was complete with special music from pianist Chad Whidden and Kiley Dean. Dean sang Feels Like Home as Puente made her way down the isle to her future husband.

    After the wedding, Puente put on a special hula performance for her hubby and then the two performed a duet to Laura Benanti’s Starry Eyed/Video Games.

    On Monday, October 20, Morrison took to his personal Twitter account to introduce the Mrs. “Conquered Hurricane Ana and got married!” Morrison tweeted. “Most amazing week EVER. It’s my pleasure to introduce, my WIFE, Mrs. Renee Marie Morrison!!”

    Morrison later shared a photo of him and his wife and captioned it by saying, “#mauilove #MauLoa.”

    Congratulations to the happy couple!

  • Naya Rivera: Did Big Sean Slam Her in New Song?

    Was Naya Rivera just slammed by Big Sean, and referred to as a ‘crazy bitch?’ The Glee star broke off her engagement to the hip hop star back in April and just three months later married actor Ryan Dorsey. The split from Big Sean was initially said to be amicable, but in hindsight likely wasn’t.

    A caution: Some of the song lyrics below are explicit, and definitely not suitable for some readers.

    Big Sean’s song in question is titled ‘I Don’t F–k With You,’ and features E-40. It is produced by both Kanye West and DJ Mustard. The lyrics most definitely lend themselves to his split from Naya Rivera.

    Check out some of the lyrics:

    “I don’t give a f–k about you or anything that you do / I saw you got a new man I see you taking the pic / I see you post it up thinking that it’s making me sick / I see you calling up Imma answer that s–t like ‘I don’t f–k with you’”

    If you’re not convinced, read on:

    “And every day I wake up celebrating s–t—why? / ‘Cause I just dodged a bullet from a crazy bitch,” the lyrics continue.

    What do you think? The lyrics are certainly indicative of a nasty split, and since the last one Big Sean experienced was that from Naya Rivera, it definitely lends credence to the fact that he’s dissing the Glee star–and big time, too.

    How do you suppose Naya Rivera and new hubby Ryan Dorsey feel about this blatant diss on behalf of Big Sean? Not only does it portray the hip hop star as tasteless, it likely stirs up unpleasant feelings on behalf of not just the Glee star, but her friends, fans, and her husband, too.

  • Lea Michele Making Exciting Career Moves

    Lea Michele Making Exciting Career Moves

    Lea Michele wore a risky dress at the Sons of Anarchy premiere on Saturday. It was a stunning white Cushnie Et Ochs dress with a dangerously placed front cutout.

    The Glee star was there to promote her role in this season of Sons of Anarchy. The 28-year-old will play a single mother and truck stop waitress on the show.

    SOA creator Kurt Sutter seems excited about her role. He said of Lea Michele,

    “With Lea Michele, we heard she was interested from our executive producer and director Paris Barclay, who knew her from Glee and working together with Ryan Murphy [creator of Glee and FX’s American Horror Story],” Sutter explained.

    “We cast her outside the box. She plays a truck stop waitress. You know, tough, tank top, not a smidge of makeup on her. She completely embraced what the show was all about. It’s a show that people want to play different parts on.”

    Lea Michele will be playing alongside some amazing and surprising co-stars. Courtney Love will make an appearance in three episodes.

    Sutter says Love will be playing the preschool teacher to Jax’s son, Abel.

    “I’ve known Courtney for a little bit and become friends with her. I knew she was trying to do some acting and reinvent her career,” Sutter said. She will be playing most of her scenes with Gemma (Katey Sagal) and Wendy (Drea de Matteo).

    Lea Michele has also been busy filming the sixth season of Glee. Fox recently revealed that Rachel Berry would be heading back to Lima, Ohio to run the New Directions as her character prepares for the end of the show.

    Lea Michele is taking some exciting new career turns lately! Good luck to her in whatever she decides to do next!

  • Naya Rivera: And ‘Baby’ Makes Three?

    Naya Rivera: And ‘Baby’ Makes Three?

    Naya Rivera has added to her family once again since marrying actor Ryan Dorsey. With the addition of Emmy, you could say ‘baby makes three.’ Emmy is a precious baby–Cavalier King Charles spaniel, that is. Is this new puppy is the couple’s only baby–at least for now anyway?

    No. It seems this new ‘baby’ might actually make four, since the Glee star (Naya Rivera plays the role of Santana Lopez on the show) and Ryan Dorsey already had one dog–another baby girl named Lucy.

    It was just a few days ago that the Glee star shared her new baby with the world via her Instagram account.

    “New little love. Emmy!” she captioned the photo.

    Here are the two ‘sisters.’

    It was just about a month ago when Naya Rivera secretly married Ryan Dorsey–and that was only about three months after she broke off her engagement to Big Sean. The two wed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in front of a very small gathering of family members.

    And it was at a recent Justin Timberlake concert that Naya Rivera and Ryan Dorsey made their public debut as husband and wife.

    Naya seems far more interested in her home life recently. Maybe she’s really taking to her role as ‘Mom’ to Lucy and now Emmy. In fact, she shared yet another Instagram just last week–this time in honor of National Dog Day. You see, those babies are never far from the actress and singer’s mind.

    Kudos to Naya Rivera for loving her pets like babies. She sets a fine example for pet owners everywhere. Perhaps if her fans see the love and respect she has for Lucy and Emmy, it will prompt them to spread the word about adopting dogs and caring for them properly.

    Do you suppose Naya River and Ryan Dorsey might one day announce that yet another baby–this time the human kind–is joining their little family?

  • Dianna Agron Debuts New Platinum Hair

    Dianna Agron Debuts New Platinum Hair

    Dianna Agron has joined the growing list of celebrities who are making major hair changes lately.

    The 28-year-old Glee star went platinum and paraded the new ‘do around West Hollywood and Gracias Madre restaurant.

    Her newly lightened tresses were said to channel Marilyn Monroe as she shopped in Beverly Hills on Tuesday and sported a short white dress.

    Dianna Agron will reportedly be reprising her role as Quinn Fabray in the upcoming season of Glee.

    However, that is not all that the newly platinum star has going on.

    Dianna Agron has several movies coming out, seemingly back-to-back.

    Her new movie Zipper, which also stars Lena Headey, is about a family man who struggles with a serious temptation for other women.

    Agron is also set to star in Tumbledown with Joe Manganiello. The movie follows Dianna Agron as a young woman who is forced to look closer at the circumstances surrounding the death of her musician husband.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kOdA7-VS8w

    Both of these come out this year followed by, early in 2015, A Conspiracy On Jekyll Island. This movie is about an ex-Wall Street man whom the Secretary of the Treasury enlists to thwart a cyber attack. The attack could possibly derail the American economy. With the help of his wife, and a modge-podge crew of helpers, he hopes to foil the attack.

    Sounds like Dianna Agron is pretty busy lately! How does she even have so much time to stroll around Hollywood showing off her new hair?

    Good luck to Dianna Agron in all of her upcoming ventures! What do you think about her hair? Do you like the new platinum locks or do you miss the more demure look she had going on before?

  • Sarah Hyland Leans on Friends Following Breakup With Matt Prokop

    Sarah Hyland has split from her boyfriend of five years, Matt Prokop.

    The Modern Family star’s rep confirmed the breakup Tuesday, but did not give any further details about the split, according to The Los Angeles Times. Other reports say the breakup was amicable and the 23-year-old actress is “doing fine,” thank you very much.

    “It didn’t work out,” a source told Us Weekly, “She’s young. They decided they would be better off as friends.”

    Hyland and her 24-year-old former boyfriend met at a High School Musical 3: Senior Year audition in 2008. The couple costarred together in the 2011 TV movie Geek Charming.

    No word on the custody of their dog, Barkley Bixby.

    Hyland appeared Monday at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards on her own but seemed happy as a clam. She posted a beautiful photo of herself on Instagram with the caption: “This sums up the #emmys2014 for me. Thank you to those who voted for us!!! I can’t believe we won!!!! #emmys #modernfamily”

    And why wouldn’t she look happy-happy? After all, Modern Family won several Emmys, including its fifth win for best comedy series, tying Frasier for the most wins in that category.

    After the show, the actress and her costars celebrated their big night. She posted a photo with Sofia Vergara at one of the parties.

    The actress seems to be well-supported by her Team Sarah. On Tuesday she hit the Town with her good friends, posting an Instagram photo, captioned: “Very happy to have spent the night with my friends who happen to be the greatest team ever! @allanface @gualazz1 @ahellerpr”

    Hyland may have been feeling the breakup blues on Thursday, with two cryptic posts:

    Looks like she knows what to do to battle those breakup blues — girls night out with Glee‘s Jenna Ushkowitz!

  • Naya Rivera Channels a Bewitching Pirate in Her Latest Look

    Naya Rivera‘s latest look is a little confusing.

    Is the Glee actress channeling a witch? A pirate? A bewitching pirate? Maybe Stevie Nicks?

    It’s hard to say, but the new Mrs. Ryan Dorsey was snapped strutting down a Los Angeles street with a full-on Halloween-inspired look. Covered from tip to toe in black, the actress donned a floppy hat covering her gorgeous hair, a mini-dress with bell-sleeves and above-the-knee boots.

    Can’t argue she is as beautiful as ever, but the outfit is just a little mystifying.

    The smile on her face in the shot hints at the joy she is experiencing after her July marriage to Dorsey. The couple wed in a secret surprise ceremony just three months after her engagement to rapper Big Sean ended.

    Rivera and Dorsey were good, good friends from the moment of their first meeting in Los Angeles four years ago. Following the breakup with Big Sean, Rivera and Dorsey’s relationship apparently took a different turn, leading to walking down the aisle and saying ‘I do.”

    The couple stepped out for the first time last week as husband and wife for Justin Timberlake‘s The 20/20 Experience World Tour. The evening wasn’t without drama.

    Dorsey had to put his gallant on for his new wife when a photographer decided to say the wrong thing to the singer. As the couple was leaving the Timberlake grounds, a photographer reportedly shouted, “Big Sean hit it first.” Needless to say, Dorsey was not going to let that one slide by and confronted the man.

    “It really pissed Ryan off to where he yelled and swore back at the guy and tried to fight him,” said a source to Us Weekly. “Ryan snapped real quick when he was taunted about Big Sean.”

  • Lea Michele Is Just Not That Into Being Famous

    Lea Michele became an instant star on the television show Glee, but the actress and singer says that while she appreciates her fans, being famous just doesn’t really appeal to her.

    She recently talked about the down side of fame and said that it can be a bit overwhelming at times.

    Michele grew up with a big Italian family and said that she still leans on her family during stressful times.

    “A good dinner with my mom and dad and my big Italian family,” she said when asked how she copes with fame. “No matter what is going on in my life or in this business, that is my home and that is my heart.”

    Michele grew up in New York but moved to Los Angeles to work on Glee. The young actress said that she worked hard to get where she is today, but is still shocked at how fast it all happened.

    “I never thought I would be on such an amazing show and living in LA, so this has so far exceeded anything I could have dreamt of,” she said. “I think it teaches you not to set limits for yourself and to go 100 percent into whatever you believe in.”

    Michelle said that she was inspired by Barbra Streisand when she was younger and that she hopes she can inspire others the way Streisand inspired her.

    “I really love her. She’s always been a role model. She built her career by focusing on what makes her unique. It’s how she became so successful,” she said.

    “I want to introduce that idea to this generation – that you take what makes you unique, what makes you you, and you will achieve all your dreams. It really is what has got me to where I am today.”

  • Lea Michele Calls New York Her Home

    Lea Michele is a fan of big family dinners, and that’s what she reportedly yearns for when life seems just a bit too crazy for her liking. The Glee star who mourned the death of boyfriend and costar Cory Monteith a year ago, lives in Los Angeles but grew up in New York. And it’s New York she heads for when the going gets tough.

    “A good dinner with my mom and dad and my big Italian family,” she said during a recent interview. “No matter what is going on in my life or in this business, that is my home.”

    When asked about her fame, Lea Michele recently said she can’t believe how far she’s come. She admits the roots to that fame lie in New York, too. She was cast in a Broadway production at the age of eight.

    “I never thought I would be on such an amazing show and living in LA, so this has so far exceeded anything I could have dreamt of,” she said. “I think it teaches you not to set limits for yourself and to go 100 per cent into whatever you believe in.”

    Barbra Steisand–a fellow native New Yorker–is Lea Michele’s role model–a rather unusual choice for such a young woman–but there’s something rather classic about Lea, so why wouldn’t she emulate one of the best?

    “I really love her. She’s always been a role model. She built her career by focusing on what makes her unique–it’s how she became so successful,” Lea said recently. “I want to introduce that idea to this generation–that you take what makes you unique, what makes you you, and you will achieve all your dreams. It really is what has got me to where I am today.”

    Where Lea Michele is today is on the hit TV show Glee. But did you know she’s also an author?

    Lea can also add recording artist and being a former Broadway play cast member to her impressive resume.

    Yes, Lea Michele has hit some pretty serious bumps along the road of her young life, but she has bounced back. Those who admire Lea know there’s way more to come. And she knows there are those huge family dinners–just waiting to make everything alright when she needs some reassurance.

  • Naya Rivera Gets Married To Actor Ryan Dorsey; Take That, Big Sean!

    Glee actress Naya Rivera secretly married Ryan Dorsey in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on July 19. Reports also revealed that the wedding day was the original date when she was supposed to marry ex-boyfriend Big Sean.

    Big Sean and Rivera ended their engagement three months ago. When Rivera and Big Sean called off their wedding, Big Sean’s rep said in a statement “After careful thought and much consideration, Sean has made the difficult decision to call the wedding off… Sean wishes Naya nothing but the best and it is still his hope that they can continue to work through their issues privately.”

    Despite having the same marriage date, a source close to the newlyweds says that the date was chosen because it was Dorsey’s birthday. “July 19th is also Ryan’s birthday, making this an even more joyous occasion,” said the source.

    Rivera and Dorsey met each other four years ago when Dorsey moved to Los Angeles after graduating from the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. Sources said that the marriage was a complete surprise even to Rivera’s friends, who did not even know that the actress was dating Dorsey. “The whole thing is a complete surprise,” said the source.

    The couple told People, “We feel truly blessed to be joined as husband and wife. Our special day was fated and everything we could have ever asked for. True love always prevails.”

    Rivera wore a Monique Lhullier lace wedding gown, while Dorsey sported a Dolce & Gabbana suit. A source said that Rivera’s gown “looks a lot like the one Kim married Kanye in.” Rivera also had hairstylist Clyde Haygood, Kim Kardashian’s hairstylist during her wedding, style her hair for her wedding as well.

    Incidentally, Big Sean was also in Mexico at the time of Rivera’s wedding to Dorsey. He was recording with Kanye West.

  • Lea Michele and Boyfriend Matthew Paetz Hold Hands at LAX

    Lea Michele and boyfriend Matthew Paetz were spotted holding hands at LAX on Tuesday.

    The couple was seen catching a departing flight out of Los Angeles and, though they were both wearing sunglasses, didn’t appear to be trying to hide their romance.

    The 27-year-old Glee star met Paetz, a model and video music star, while filming her “On My Way” video.

    Michele dated her Glee costar Cory Monteith until his tragic death from a drug overdose on July 13, 2013.

    Although Michele has since admitted to having dated Monteith briefly at the beginning of Glee (the series premiered in 2009,) it wasn’t until late 2011 that they officially became a couple.

    “One day we just looked at each other and we were like, ‘You wanna do this?’ We knew,” Michele remembered.

    But in March 2013 Monteith ended up in rehab – and not for the first time. He’d started using drugs and alcohol at age 13 and had struggled with addiction on and off in the years since.

    “I can only imagine what it looks like from the outside,” Michele said about that struggle becoming public knowledge in 2013. “It was such a short period of time between when people found out to, you know, July, but there are so many personal aspects of this whole journey that people are not invited to know. We had a full life, and that had lots of different details that will be ours forever, for only us to know.”

    Michele’s debut studio album Louder was essentially finished at the time of Monteith’s death. When the label asked if she wanted to add anything, she initially said no. Then she reconsidered:

    “I was like, ‘I might regret it if I don’t.’”

    One of the songs she added was “If You Say So,” named for the last words Monteith said to her.

    Although Michele appears to be moving past her grief, she recently posted a tribute to Monteith on Twitter:

    When Glee returns sometime in 2015 for a sixth and final season, Michele will be part of the cast.

    It’s also been rumored that she’ll star as Elphaba in the movie adaptation of the Broadway hit Wicked.

    When she’s not busy singing and acting, the multi-talented Michele is writing. Her book, a lifestyle guide titled Brunette Ambition, released in May.

  • Lea Michele Talks Cory Monteith One Year Later

    Lea Michele is remembering Cory Monteith today–the one-year anniversary of her boyfriend and former Glee costar’s untimely death. Monteith died from a heroin overdose in a Vancouver hotel room last July. The two had been dating for more than a year. Even though the actress and singer has started to move on, she will forever hold dear her treasured memories of time spent with Cory Monteith.

    Lea and Cory starred opposite each other on Glee–she in her role as Rachel Berry and Cory as Finn Hudson–and were at one point a romantic couple on the show as well as in person.

    Earlier on Sunday Lea Michele posted a touching tribute to Cory Monteith in the form of a tweet. It includes a photo of the young actor with a backdrop of a beautiful beach sunset.

    Lea’s message was retweeted by former Glee costar Chris Colfer and thousands of followers and fans.

    Several other Glee cast members also tweeted their tributes to Cory Monteith on Sunday.

    Matthew Morrison had the following to say.

    Dot-Marie Jones posted two tweets.

    Amber Patrice Riley shared the following message.

    Jenna Ushkowitz posted a photo on Instagram in memory of Cory. Her caption reads, “365 days since you’ve gone and not a day passes we don’t remember your smiling face. We miss you buddy. Thanks to everyone for your love and support today while we remember our quarterback.”

    Among the more poignant messages–sent via Twitter–came from Glee’s creator Ryan Murphy. Simple and understated, it spoke volumes.

    While Cory Monteith’s family members and Lea Michele are no doubt feeling a much deeper level of grief over his passing a year ago, it’s plain to see that his costars are still feeling his loss, too. Perhaps after this first year of mourning many will find some closure in the aftermath of Cory’s tragic passing.

  • Naya Rivera No Longer ‘Glee’ Regular

    Naya Rivera won’t be a series regular when Glee returns for its sixth and final season. She will maintain a recurring role, however, although it’s uncertain exactly how many episodes will feature her character Santana Lopez.

    This change supposedly took place via a request from Rivera. The network and producers were reportedly happy to comply. Something else that was reported several weeks ago was an on-set blow up between Naya Rivera and Lea Michele. Naya was rumored to have been fired as a result of it. Sources are reporting that Naya Rivera wasn’t fired and that her spat with Lea Michele had nothing to do with these changes. See the video clip above for more news on the girl fight.

    “There is no truth to the rumor Naya has been fired from the show. She remains under contract to Glee,” the studio that produces Glee said in a statement.

    In addition to that rumor, another one surfaced saying that Naya Rivera had been dropped from Columbia Records. That, too, is false.

    “Someone obviously has an agenda to damage Naya’s good name and the media are failing at their duty to responsibly vet their sources and verify what is true and what is not. Naya’s attorneys are prepared to take any and all legal action to enforce and protect her rights,” the actress’s rep said in a statement.

    “Naya wants to have more time to explore her music and other endeavors,” a source close to the Glee actress said.

    One of character Santana Lopez’s endeavors during season 5 involved her love affair with Demi Lovato’s character.

    Glee is set to go on an extended hiatus this year, returning in 2015. Originally slated for a 22-episode run, the final season may be reduced to fewer episodes than anticipated.

    Do you think Lea Michele’s fans might be behind these rumors about Naya Rivera? Are you disappointed that you won’t see more of her character, Santana Lopez, during the final season of Glee?

  • Lea Michele is Not Pregnant, Twitter Account Was Hacked

    No, Lea Michele is not pregnant.

    The 27-year-old was the second Glee star to have their Twitter account hacked in the past few days.

    “Before this gets out to the media, I would like to announce to my fans that I am pregnant #BabyBoy,” read a message posted on her Twitter account Friday.

    No one really believed the tweet was true after Glee star Chris Colfer’s account was also hacked the day before with a tweet that said he had been fired from the popular FOX show. The show’s producers said Colfer was the victim of a hacker.

    “We’ve been alerted that Chris Colfer’s Twitter account has been hacked,” according to a statement from 20th Century Fox Television. “Rumors of his dismissal from Glee could not be further from the truth. We love Chris and look forward to working with him again this season.”

    The Glee costars quipped about it with each other once they gained control of their accounts once again.

    Michele, who plays Rachel Berry on the Fox TV series, has been spotted out and about with her new boyfriend, Matthew Paetz. The new couple, who met earlier this year while filming her music video for On My Way, from her 2014 debut album, Louder, were seen picnicking together recently in L.A.

    Paetz is the first person Michele has dated since losing Cory Monteith in 2013 to a heroin overdose. “She waited a long time before getting serious again and she likes him a lot,” a source revealed to E! News.

    “He treats her really well, he’s smart and fun. She’s really happy,” said the source.

    So good to see a smile back on Michele’s face.

    Lea Michele is finally dating again, nearly a year after her longtime boyfriend, and Glee co-star, Cory Monteith passed away from a drug overdose.

    According to PEOPLE, Michele has been seeing aspiring model and actor Matthew Paetz since they met on the set of her music video On My Way in April.

    Lea has struggled to cope with Cory’s death, and no one thought she would be re-entering the dating scene so soon. However, according to sources close to Michele, the relationship is currently not serious and is helping her move on from Monteith.

    “For a long time, Lea wasn’t close to even thinking about getting into a relationship,” an insider revealed. “Cory’s death was and will continue to be a struggle for her.”

    While the sources say that Paetz is a “very sweet and a really great” guy, his past is questionable. According to TMZ, Matthew previously worked as a gigolo for a male escort service called Cowboys4Angels. On the service’s website, Paetz went under the alias “Christian,” however his profile has since been removed. E! News tried to contact the owner Garren James, but he would not comment on Matthew’s employment history.

    Despite his past, the sources explain that Paetz would make a great guy for Lea. “He will be great arm candy and he is a very nice guy, and is a lot of fun,” the source said. “He is very into being in a relationship and loves being in one. He is the kind of person who will want to be with that person all the time, but in a good way. And he is a good listener.”

    Currently, Lea’s reps have not commented on the relationship.

  • Jenna Ushkowitz Heartbroken? Not in Hawaii

    Jenna Ushkowitz Heartbroken? Not in Hawaii

    While most celebrities go through their reps to announce a breakup, Glee‘s Jenna Ushkowitz announced her breakup from The Vampire Diaries actor Michael Trevino in a most awkward way.

    While signing autographs at The Normal Heart premiere May 19 in Beverly Hills, California, Ushkowitz announced their three-year relationship had come to an end.

    And here’s how it happened.

    While making the rounds at the premiere, a videographer asked if she was still dating Trevino, E! Online reported.

    “No, we’re not together anymore,” she said.

    When the videographer realized he may have made the 28-year-old star uncomfortable, he apologized.

    “That’s OK. No worries,” she responded.

    When asked if the two were still on good terms, Ushkowitz said, “We’re wonderful.”

    Awkward, right?

    The breakup doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise. When the two first started dating, Ushkowitz told Ryan Seacrest she and Trevino were “very close.”

    But neither mentioned the other very often on social media, or elsewhere. Four months ago, Ushkowitz posted a picture from the 2011 SAG Awards on Instagram, wishing the 29-year-old Trevino a happy birthday.

    Ushkowitz posted a similar Instagram birthday greeting the year before.

    Doesn’t look like she’s pining away either. Saturday morning she posted a photo while on vacation in Hawaii with friends, including Glee costar Kevin McHale.

  • Jenna Ushkowitz and Michael Trevino End Their 3-Year Relationship

    Glee and The Vampire Diaries’ fans can finally unite with disappointment, because Jenna Ushkowitz and Michael Trevino have broken up.

    In 2011, Ushkowitz and Trevino’s relationship became public when they walked the SAG awards’ red carpet together. During a 2011 interview on, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, he asked her “if she has a thing for werewolves,” a clear reference to Trevino’s character Tyler Lockwood who was a werewolf-vampire hybrid (now a human) on The Vampire Diaries. Ushkowitz didn’t reveal any details on their romance; she simply told Seacrest that they were “very close.”

    Since then, Ushkowitz and Trevino remained private about their relationship. However, she occasionally posted pictures of the couple on her Instagram.

    The couple also did a photo-shoot in 2011, with photographer Tyler Shields, which highlighted their passion for one another. Emma Roberts was also included in the shoot.

    Trevino showed his support for Ushkowitz by promoting her various projects, including her book Choosing Glee, via tweets.

    On May 19, while attending The Normal Heart premiere, a videographer  asked Ushkowitz if she was still dating Trevino. She responded: “No, we’re not together anymore. She also signed autographs during that interaction. The videographer apologized for bringing it up, but then Ushkowitz said, “That’s okay, no worries,” with a smile. Finally she added, “We’re wonderful.”

    US Weekly reports that an insider said their relationship ended a while ago. But in January, Ushkowitz posted an old red carpet photo of the couple with the caption, “Happy birthday to my best friend, the one who has taught me how to laugh and love more and more everyday. Congrats on another year around the sun.”

    In April, rumors surfaced that Trevino was dating his The Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev. The rumors started after Dobrev posted a picture of them bowling.


    Nothing about the picture suggested they were a pair, but fans and gossip sites quickly jumped to that conclusion. Now with Trevino and Ushkowitz’s breakup confirmed, rumors of his romance with Dobrev may intensify, though they’ll likely prove false.
