Matthew Morrison

Cory Monteith’s tragic death has brought the ‘Glee’ cast closer than ever. Matthew Morrison tells HollywoodLife.com how he’s coping with Cory’s loss, now that the final season is on the horizon.

Cory Monteith died on July 13, 2013 from an accidental drug and alcohol overdose. More than one year later, Gleeks everywhere still hold Cory close to their hearts — especially everyone in the Glee “family.” Matthew Morrison, 36, reveals, “Cory and I were definitely the tightest,” and tells HollywoodLife.com how the cast has changed without the actor on set.

‘Glee’ star Matthew stopped by ‘Live! With Kelly & Michael’ to talk about his new album, and he revealed that in the wake of Cory’s tragic death, the ‘Glee’ cast came together.

On August 2, Matthew Morrison opened up to Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan about how the Glee cast have been coping with the death of one of their own, Cory Monteith. He revealed that when they learned about his tragic passing, they all stayed up until 5am on the phone, because they took his death “incredibly hard.”

Following Cory’s recent admission to rehab, Matthew’s character Mr. Shuester had to be written into extra scenes in the ‘Glee’ finale to make up for Finn’s absence. Read on for all the exclusive details!

After Cory Monteith checked himself into rehab for substance abuse, Glee still had two episodes left to shoot for season four, and it seemed certain that Cory’s character Finn would not be in them. HollywoodLife.com can now exclusively confirm that Cory will not be in the final episodes of the season, and instead regular cast member Matthew Morrison will fill in for him. Read on to find out how this will affect Finchel’s future!

One simple kiss can ruin everything! Finn and Emma locked lips on the Feb. 7 episode of ‘Glee,’ shocking Wemma and Finchel fans alike!

Could Finn’s (Cory Monteith) kiss with Emma (Jayma Mays) be the reason that we see her running away from the church on the Feb. 14 episode of Glee, when Mrs. Pillsbury is supposed to wed Will (Matthew Morrison)? Say it isn’t so!

New Directions will reportedly take on One Direction later this season (as if we didn’t get their names mixed up enough already!)

Glee may have made some questionable song choices this season — cheers to you, “Red Solo Cup” — but its latest cover is nothing short of genius. Matthew Morrison reportedly told the UK’s Sun that the McKinley High gleeks will be covering One Direction‘s “What Makes You Beautiful.” And it sounds like Mr. Schuester will be getting in on the action too!

Cameron looks like she’s a natural at being a mommy!

Although single Cameron Diaz says she doesn’t want kids, the 39-year-old makes a great mom on the big screen! In the new trailer for her upcoming film What To Expect When You’re Expecting, Cameron gives birth and shows what she would look like as a doting mother.

Lives hung in the balance on the ‘Glee’ winter finale, as the New Directions prepared to perform at Regionals.

The catalyst for most of what happened on the Feb. 21 episode of Glee was David Karofsky’s (Max Adler) suicide attempt. After being spotted with Kurt (Chris Colfer) at Breadstix, Karofsky was tormented by his classmates. Unable to deal with the humiliation of being outed, he tried to hang himself in his closet. Regardless of what he put Kurt through last season, it was hard watching a teary-eyed Karofsky lay out his suit in preparation for the act. Thankfully, his father caught him in the nick of time.
