Cory Monteith found dead at 31

It is a very sad for "Glee" fans everywhere. It has been reported and confirmed that one of its main stars, Cory Monteith, was found dead at the Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancover.

According to reports, staff of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel found his body at noon and the actor had been deceased for several hours by that point. 

According to the Vancouver Police, there are no indications of foul play. Montieth had been staying at the hotel since July 6th and was due to check out today but when he didn´t the hotel staff went up to his room to investigate.

No official cause of death has been released yet although its been public now that Cory had been dealing with drug issues this past year. The actor had always been very outspoken about his addiction issues as a teenager, using drugs since the age of 13 until he was 19. Earlier this year he had relapsed but checked himself into a rehab facility encouraged by his family and on-screen co-star and girlfriend Lea Michele.

Glee producers have already issued an official statement which reads as follows:

 "We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Cory was an exceptional talent and an even more exceptional person. He was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones."

RadioPopAction would like to send our deepest condolences to Cory´s family and loved ones during this tragic and sad loss. A talented young actor who left us way too soon. Rest in peace.

Glee Cast Does ‘Vogue’ Magazine

 The cast of Glee pose very stylish in the latest issue of Vogue magazine where they reveal their thoughts about fashion and clothes, and how these are portrayed on the hit show.

 Chris Colfer reveals how he has become a fashion expert thanks to playing Kurt:

 "When Glee started, I had no idea who Marc Jacobs was. In no way was I a fashion person! I did all my shopping at my small-­town Target. Maybe if I dressed better I wouldn’t have had such a hard time in school. Now, as Kurt, I get to wear all these amazing things, by people whose names I can’t even pronounce.”

 Lea Michele, on the other hand, was apparently already interested in the fashion aspect of celebrity before becoming one. 

 Glee creator, Ryan Murphy, explains:

  “When I met Lea, she was only sort of interested in clothes—­but in the last two years she’s become a red-­carpet star. I think what happened is Lea went to an event, and someone said, ‘Oh, you look pretty.’ It was an interesting moment for her.”

First Look at 'American Horror Story'

 The first pictures for the new FX show, American Horror Story, have surfaced.

 For those of you late bloomers who don´t know what this upcoming show is about, let´s do some explaining.

 Way before Glee became a worldwide hit, creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk were already popular for producing a certain show called Nip/Tuck, which was pretty much the opposite of the singing and dancing extravanga that Glee is.

 This new show, American Horror Story, marks a return to form for Murphy and Falchuk who are now introducing themselves in the horror genre for television. 

  This new TV series tells the story of the Harmons, a family with a dark past that buys a big, old (and yes, haunted) house in Los Angeles where a series of murders have occured in the past. 

  The horror thriller stars Friday Night Lights‘ Connie Britton, The Practice‘s Dylan McDermott, Six Feet Under´s Frances Comroy and Oscar-winner Jessica Lange to name a few. 

  Critics who have watched the show have had very positive reactions so far.

 American Horror Story premieres on October 5 on FX.

"Glee" Might Replace Original Cast

  The creator of Fox´s hit show, Glee, was recently invited to On Air with Ryan Seacrest and spoke about his projects and, of course, what´s in store for next season.

 Among other things, Murphy spoke about his intention of having most of the original characters on the show graduate next season:

“The thing that I wanted to do and the cast wanted to do, we didn’t want to have a show where they were in high school for 8 years. We really wanted it to be true to that experience. We thought it would be really cool if we were true to the timeline.”

 This will inevitably mean saying goodbye to most of the characters the audience have grown to know and love over three seasons.

 Click below to listen to the full interview and find out what the plan is for Glee on season three.

"Glee" Recruits New Writers For Season 3

  It was about time! Seems like Glee co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are finally realizing that the show needs some help on the writing department and they have recruited a brand new writing staff for Season 3.

 Among the new recruits for the Fox musical series are Allison Adler (Chuck, No Ordinary Family) as co-executive producer, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Spiderman: Turn off the Dark), with Michael Hitchcock and  Marti Noxon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Fright Night) serving as consulting producers.

 Noxon recently took her Twitter to acknowledge her involvement with the show and added some inside jokes by addressing her previous involvement on the Buffy musical:

"Hi to all the Gleeks. I'm only consulting but get ready for the darkest, most depressing season ever. Can Rachel die and come back weird?"

"My storyline ideas for Glee: the school has a new female character who keeps getting PARKING TICKETS. Get it, huh? Huh?"

 This marks the first time Glee has a proper writing staff as, up until now, only Murphy, Falchuk and Brennan shared those duties. 

 We are confident that the show can only improve with this boost of talent, specially with Marti Noxon on board. Glee´s  lack of continuity and overarching storylines was starting to become pretty obvious on recent episodes.

 What do you think? Is this a good move for the show?

'Glee' Last Minute Scripts

  According to Glee stars Matthew Morrison and Dot Jones, the scripts for the Fox hit comedy are often being written as they go as a consequence of falling behind schedule.

 The actors revealed to TV Addict that this is partly because the show is currently being written by 3 people - Brad Falchuk, Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy - who are working against time.

 "They're writing as we go and working their butts off," Jones explains. "Some days they'd only finish three of the six acts, so when we'd get your script two days before we start working and you weren't anywhere in there, you'd know you're going to be in the episode, you'll just get your lines some time during the eight days we shoot a show."

 Star Matthew Morrison explains how this same thing happened during the season finale:

"Literally, the end of the season, the season finale we just shot, they were handing us script pages like, 'Say this right here.' The show is such an epic thing to film, we got so backed up."

 On a personal note we must add that the show´s writing has really gone downhill this season. Hire more writers already!

 Could this discipline of work have something to do with that?

"Glee" On The Cover Of The Hollywood Reporter

 Glee is coming to New York for the national championship and it promises to be one hell of a show. To celebrate that, the cast graces the cover of the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter.

 The cast of the Fox hit series is about to visit the big apple in an anticipated season finale episode that has been its most expensive yet (an impressive $6 million budget!).

First Listen: Unpretty / I Feel Pretty - Glee Cast

Who would have thought that both songs could create such a beautiful melody together?

Gwyneth Paltrow Is Not Ready For Music Yet

 Gwyneth Paltrow has dismissed recent rumours that suggested she had signed a record deal with Atlantic Records to release an album.

The actress told The Hollywood Reporter:

"The truth is, I really would love to make a record, but I don't know exactly how you do that so it's not cheesy. I would love to do it. I am having fun with it though, even if it's kind of giving me a mid-life crisis because I don't know who I am anymore."

 Paltrow has tapped into her musical side recently receiving high praise for her movie Country Strong and her guest appearances on Glee.

 Moreover, it has been confirmed that she will record a duet with Glee´s Matthew Morrison for his upcoming debut album.

 It is expected for Paltrow to return to Glee in the future, which is something she looks forward to:

"I'm definitely done for this year but, to be honest, I think it's the best job I've ever had. I'm sure I'll go back there at some point."

 Do you believe Gwyneth Paltrow has the potential to become a recording artist?

First Listen: "Glee" Original Songs

 The first two original songs written for the hit show Glee have debuted!  Click below to listen to Loser Like Me, an uptempo song penned by Max Martin and , Get It Right, a ballad sung by Lea Michele.

 Do you believe Glee should feature more original songs in the future?

'Glee' Teams Up With Max Martin

 Not long ago, Ryan Murphy announced his plans to feature some original songs on his hit show Glee.

 More details have been made available about this, as we can already tell you that pop music mastermind Max Martin (responsible for hits from artist such as Britney Spears or Pink) has collaborated on a track called Loser Like Me which has been described as “energetic ensemble track.”

 This new original track will be included on the upcoming album Glee: The Music, Volume 5, which will also feature an original ballad called Get It Right sung by Lea Michele.

 These two new songs will of course feature on a future episode of Glee which is scheduled for Tuesday, March 15th on Fox.

 This is definitely good news for Glee fans out there, specially considering that the last episodes of the show are lacking the good writing and originality it once had. Hopefully this original music will keep it fresh and new.

What do you guys think? Is this a good move for the show?

Charice Comes Back To 'Glee'

 Fans of Glee may recall singer Charice, as she appeared on the second season premiere of the show where she played a foreign exchange student named Sunshine.

 Finally, there is some good news regarding her return to the series, as Glee star Harry Shum Jr. has promised that we will see Charice reprise her role later on in the season.

 Shum confirmed the news to HollywoodLife : "I talked to some of the writers and they were saying that she's going to come back to fulfil her storyline," he said. "I think that she will come back in the future in the second season."

  Even though there were rumours suggesting that the singer would make an appearance on the upcoming Super Bowl episode, there is still no official confirmation from Fox.

 Are you anxious to see Charice back on Glee?
