New Wins, Nominations, Concerts and Other News

Last week was full of events for the Glee cast members, I wonder how they still manage to shoot their scenes without dying of exhaustion and tiredness…

First of all, there were the Golden Globes: Those of you who watched the cast take home the award for best comedy series last year, might have thought they wouldn’t win again. But you were wrong! They didn’t only win the award for best comedy series but also two more awards: Jane Lynch won for best supporting actress and Chris Colfer for best supporting actor in a comedy series. Check out his emotional acceptance speech here:

Glee Gets Two People's Choice Awards

Happy New Year everyone from Germany, too! I hope you had a good start in 2011! I know, who else had a good start: Yesterday night, Glee won two of their possible five People's Choice Awards: Favorite TV Comedy and Favorite TV Comedy Actress (Jane Lynch): In case you missed the ceremony, you can check out her acceptance speech here:

Character Profile: Finn Hudson

Name: Finn Hudson

Age: 16

Played By: Cory Monteith

Family: Mother (Carole), Biological Father (deceased), Step-Father(Burt), Step-Brother (Kurt)

Bio: Finn, in the beginning is a typical, clichéd jock. He is the quarterback of the Mckinley High Titans which makes him teen royalty, especially since he was dating the school's head cheerleader, Quinn Fabray. But he soon is forced by Mr. Schue to join glee club. Although at first he was hesitant, Finn soon enjoys being a part of a club that allows him to express his self and becomes a full term member. Alas, it doesn't sit well with the other Jocks and especially not Quinn. When Finn first finds out about Quinn's pregnancy, he is led to believe he is the father. Rachel comes to be a really big love interest for Finn.

Spoiler Alert!

E! News recently spoke with Cory Monteith at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards and got some information about what the future has in store for Finn and Rachel: "It's going to be a very long-lasting relationship. It's like what Rachel and Ross were like on Friends. They go through the ups and downs, but they have that long-lasting relationship." As for the upcoming Madonna episode, "Let me tell you," he said, "I watched the episode and was like, 'I cannot believe I am in this episode of television because it...is...so...uh-may-zing!'"

By Popular Demand: Extra Lea/Cory Trivia

So you have spoken.  You want more Lea and Cory Trivia.  So here goes.  I spent hours (read: minutes) scouring the internet trying to find the best facts and figures for you Gleeks!  Pretty soon, we will also be updating Lea and Cory's bios, so you will be able to find anything (and everything) you want there!

But, for the time being, to satiate your burning desire for tidbits and treasures, here is what I found...

Lea's favorite book is Girl with the Pearl Earring. 

She considers her favorite Broadway star to be her friend Marin Mazzie.

She enjoys baking in her spare time not spent on stage because it relaxes her.

Lea was homeschooled for one year when she lived in Toronto performing in the original cast of Ragtime and again when the show was brought to Broadway.

Lea's first audition for a show was for the Broadway cast of Les Miserables. She did not intend to audition but was accompanying a friend and in support of her friend decided to try for the role. She was cast after the audition in the musical.

Lea considers herself lucky to be an only child because if she had other siblings, her mother would not have been able to take her to every audition and be so supportive of her career.

Her favorite movies are Funny Girl and Almost Famous and her favorite television show is Grey's Anatomy.

When on Broadway at the age of 8, she met Jenna Ushkowitz for the the first time. Eventually, they went their own ways once high school started, but found each other again for Spring Awakening, and finally, Glee!

Cory has secret aspirations to record his own record!

He loves a good breakfast, especially omelettes.

Since I was having trouble finding really great Cory trivia, I looked back at his Twitter starting at the beginning.  If you can't learn about someone from 140 characters, then when can you?  Here are some awesome Cory (@frankenteen) tweets (I have not edited them, but instead preserved them in all of their Monteith glory):

I just sorted my laundry before washing it for the first time ever... totally unnecessary.

can anyone tell me why you have to wash new sheets before you use them? because these seem like perfectly good sheets to me.

Every day I should just come on here and quote 'cypress hill'. 'drop tha hammer! drop tha hammer it's time for action!'

i use big words, and spell them incorrectly! fail.

I know I tweet this everytime I'm on the airplane... but internet at 37000 feet will never, ever get old
...ever been in a hotel room and you can hear the people in the room above you going pee? it's a little disturbing.

A big thanks to the nice folks at Diesel in Yorkville, Toronto! pants that fit are a big plus, I am learning

the whole 'sports fan' thing isn't really sticking with me. I've tried hard, I have! but in the end I just want to watch CNN. LOL.

Trivia Tuesday: Cory Monteith

For all those Cory fans out there, here is a Trivia Tuesday dedicated to you!  For kicks, check out Gleefan.com's Flashback Friday find! Isn't Cory so cute?

Cory's favorite TV shows are Six Feet Under, Entourage and Nip/Tuck.

Cory would like to work with Kevin Spacey and Christopher Walken.

Cory enjoys playing video games, skimboarding, surfing, and snowboarding in his free time.

He lists hockey and baseball as his favorite sports.

Went to his first Broadway show with Lea Michele when they were in New York.

Before discovering acting, he worked as a Wal-Mart greeter, a school bus driver, a roofer and a cab driver.

At Home With Cory Monteith

I just stumbled upon a video that is bound to excite any Cory Monteith fan! Young Hollywood anchor Michelle Marie takes us on a tour of Cory's bachelor pad as he and his roommates are preparing for a barbeque.

I can't decide if I am drooling from the barbeque or from Cory in his natural habitat. You be the judge.

Slow Motion Gleeks

Cory Monteith just tweeted this video of the Glee cast moving in slow motion. Most of them are wearing Cheerios uniforms, what is going on?!

Is Cory Monteith Dating Taylor Swift?

They sure have been seen together a lot lately! The two were spotted having dinner together at Jerry’s Deli in L.A., and hanging out at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party. According to this radio interview from Toronto's KISS 92.5, Cory and Taylor have "been on a few dates" and are "seeing where the road leads." She also wants to be a guest star on Glee. Don't get too excited yet though because Taylor just left for Australia, and who knows what could change while she's "down under."



What do you all think about this? Here are a few pictures of them together to help you decide.

Cory Monteith Bio

Name: Cory Allan Monteith

Nickname(s): Frankenteen

Date of Birth: May 11, 1982

Fun Fact: Before getting into acting Cory worked a number of odd jobs, including construction, driving a taxi, and greeting customers at Wal-Mart.

Hometown: Calgary, Alberta.

Character on Glee: Finn Hudson

The young actor wasn’t really a singer before working on Glee. So his agent had him send in a tape where he was playing the drums, which he’s been playing since the age of 7, to showcase his musicality. Except, it wasn’t actually on drums – it was on Tupperware! The idea worked, because it led to an audition. Before Glee, Cory worked on a number of films and television shows, including Final Destination 3, and the ABC Family show, Kyle XY.

Though he plays a high schooler in Glee, Cory actually dropped out of high school when he was a freshman.

Quick Quote: “I think there’s something so fantastically horrible about [80’s rock].”

Cory Monteith On The Gemini Awards

The Gemini Awards (Canada's version of the Emmy's) were on last night and Cory Monteith was there! He presented an award, and got several shout outs from the host of the show. In the below video, all of Cory's appearances are compiled, including a performance from him playing drums!

Should Kurt Get A Boyfriend?

In a recent interview with MTV News, Cory Monteith and Lea Michele were asked who they would like to see start making some love connections on the show. Lea mentioned that she would like to see Kurt get together with someone, as long as it isn't Puck. She also added, "Merecedes, too. I think that would be an awesome storyline." Cory Monteith agreed with Michele in typical Finn fashion by saying, "Yeah."

Monteith Fuels Rumors He's Dating Michele

Cory Monteith, by refusing to confirm or deny whether or not his on screen chemistry with Glee co-star Lea Michele has transformed into a real-life relationship, has us all asking even more questions.

Cory and Lea, who play Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry respectively, are caught up in a love triangle in the hit show Glee and have been romantically linked for weeks.

When asked about the romance rumors by Access Hollywood, Cory replied, "What is up with all the rumors? This is incredible, I can't believe all the attention people! It's incredible, just how much attention it gets and how many people are asking so many questions!"

Are Cory Monteith and Lea Michele the NEW Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart? Time will tell, but as long as they continue to not say one way or the other, rumors will be spread, and questions will be asked until one of them cracks. We're not saying it's right -- it's just the nature of the business.

Cory Monteith on Conan

Cory "Finn" Monteith stopped by NBC Studios in LA to talk with funny-man Conan O'Brien this past Friday. They joked about crazy Gleeks, auditioning, and Cory's oddjobs before being hired to play Finn on Glee.

Be sure and watch both parts!
