Glee’s Cory Monteith Named Grey Cup Grand Marshal

Natalia Buia — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:35:34 +0000

Since landing the role of Finn on the hit show Glee, everyone wants a piece of Cory Monteith, even football players.

CTV explains the Chairman of the Safeway Grey Cup Festival Parade has appointed Cory as the Grand Marshall taking place around the end of November in his home province of British Columbia.

What exactly is a Grand Marshall, you ask? Well, we don’t really know! We do know it’s the highest honorary postion at a parade. Maybe Cory will be donning a football uniform while holding a baton?

Cory released a statement saying: “I love any excuse to come home and this is a thrilling one.”

New Couple Alert: Taylor Swift and Chord Overstreet?

On one hand, we have the cute, country-singing, innocent Taylor Swift. On the other, we have a pop-singing, TV star, gleek Chord Overstreet. Match made in heaven? I think so.

The two stars were spotted hanging out at an L.A Kings hockey game at the Staples Center last night, E! Online reports with pictures.

Overstreet, 22, seems a perfect match for Swift, 21. They are in the same age range, both teen sensations, blonde, musically talented, and good looking. This coupling is much better than when Swift was canoodling with Jake Gyllenhaal or John Mayer (barf). At least they are in the same age range and could create beautiful babies. I’m pretty sure babies with John Mayer would be born saying sarcastic, douchey things.

Perhaps the meeting wasn’t just romantic, though. Maybe the two were discussing a glee collaboration? Swift’s country anthems about boys and love and boys seems perfect for the tween-teen hit show. Or maybe Swift was warming up to Overstreet so she could get closer to Cory Monteith, whom she was spotted having dinner with earlier this month.

The reasons for their meeting is a mystery, but what I do know, is that I approve. Although I am not a fan of Swift’s music, nor a fan of the show Glee (it has gone downhill), these two together just feels right. Two blondies who sing? Doesn’t get any better than that.

Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez Split – Again

Girls everywhere will be happy to know that one Jonas brother is back on the market. Although Joe Jonas is still going strong with 17-year-old singer Demi Lovato, and with Kevin being happily married, that leaves Nick standing alone, People.com reports.

The pop star split with on-again, off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez about three weeks ago. The couple never publicly confirmed they were back together, but a source says, “They were an item, but they are no longer together.” According to the source, the Disney Channel stars, both 17, broke up the way more celeb couples do; due to work keeping them apart. Gomez is scheduled to be in Europe this summer filming a movie, while Jonas is touring with his brothers.

Although they are officially not together, “it’s evident to everyone that they will always have a super strong connection,” says the source.

Since the split, both stars have been keeping busy: Jonas have been filming his show Jonas, while Gomez is busy with work, including designing a clothing line for Kmart and promoting her new album Kiss & Tell in France and Spain.

Gomez has also been keeping busy with Cameron Quiseng, 19, Allstar Weekend’s bass player. On March 23, Queiseng and Gomez joined Taylor Swift and Glee’s Cory Monteith for a double date at the bowling alley. After another bowling outer, Gomez even posted a Twitter picture of herself saying, “I won.”

Jonas and Gomez must be serious about this breakup, because Gomez even un-followed her ex-flame on Twitter (gasp!). She means business.

Taylor Swift is Juggling Men

Is the sweet Taylor Swift juggling two many men for her own good? People.com reports that Swift had had a flirty bowling alley outing as well as a lunch with her handsome ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner.

On Tuesday the 20-year-old was being quite flirtatious with Glee star Cory Monteith,27, on a group date, which also included her best bud Selena Gomez at Studio City bowling alley. An eyewitness says that her and Monteith had “great chemistry.”

“While everyone in the group seemed to get along great and had fun, Taylor received a lot of attention from Cory,” the source says. “Several times while they chatted, Cory pulled Taylor close to him and gave her a big, loving hug. Taylor seemed to love the attention and was beaming.”

The pair was first snapped together at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy party in January, and it seems that the two are still into each other.

“Cory definitely seems to be Taylor’s type – tall, dark and handsome,” the source says.

The singer’s former flame, Taylor Lautner seems to fit that bill. The two went to lunch the following day at The Farm in Beverly Hills, joined by Swift’s mom.

“The two looked very excited to see each other and seemed to have a lot to catch up on,” said an eyewitness.

Hmm… lucky girl.

Glee Cast Denies Dating Rumors

Joelle Tomlinson — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:42:43 +0000

For those who secretly (and not-so-secretly) delight in the newest FOX series, Glee, they may be disappointed that the onscreen relationships have not been transferred to reality.

Dispelling rumors that Cory Monteith, who plays Finn in the musical television show, and Lea Michele (Rachel) are dating in real life, he spoke out with “we’re great friends.” According to people.com, Monteith states that “we’ve become really closer over the show, but we’re just friends. We’re not dating.”

Monteith’s character is an idiotic high school quarterback and Michele’s character Rachel is a neurotic over-achiever who favors puffed sleeves and granny lace as fashion substitutes. They are both involved in a love quadrangle that include cheerleader Quinn Fabray (played by Dianna Agron) and Finn’s best friend Puck (Mark Salling). To complicate matters, Quinn is pregnant with Puck’s baby, but has convinced Finn that he is the father.

Thankfully none of this drama has made it outside of the production. “That seems really difficult,” says Monteith. “That seems like it would be tricky.”
