Life as a celebrity isn't all duets and dance steps for Cory Monteith.  The Glee original cast member has checked himself into rehab for substance addiction, according to People.

The actor "has voluntarily admitted himself to a treatment facility for substance addiction," his rep tells PEOPLE. "He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the necessary steps towards recovery."

People caught up with Monteith's Glee co-star and girlfriend Lea Michele, who had this to say.  

"I love and support Cory and will stand by him through this," she tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I am grateful and proud he made this decision."   READ MORE

Glee fans worried about Chord Overstreet's status on the hit Fox series can rest easy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Overstreet has become an official cast member in season four. The trade paper reports the popular actor joins Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith, among those who have been signed  full time on the show.  All 15 of Glee's series regulars will return, but so far the show and network is keeping mum about who is returning full and part time.

“Rumours” was another good meta-episode for Glee, acknowledging the inevitable gossip that plagues any pop-culture phenom. The show has gotten its share in various tabloids and blind items, and that's the tongue-in-cheek problem facing the Glee Club this week.
