NEWS: LEA MICHELE'S REP RELEASES STATEMENT AFTER DEATH OF GLEE CO-STAR & BOYFRIEND, CORY MONTEITH

CORY & LEA IN "GLEE" PROMO SHOOT

A rep for “Glee “ actress Lea Michele has released a statement following the death of co-star and boyfriend Cory Monteith. The 26-year-old’s rep said the following: “We ask that everyone kindly respect Lea’s privacy during this devastating time.”

Monteith was found in his Vancover hotel room on Saturday. The actor’s rep released a statement late Saturday, stating “We are so saddened to confirm that the reports on the death of Cory Monteith are accurate. We are in shock and mourning this tragic loss.”

A source close to Lea Michele told Showbizspy.com that the actress learned of her boyfriend’s death over the telephone. The actress reportedly “broke down in tears when she heard the news.”

“Cory was her whole world,” said the insider. “They’ve been through a lot together.”

In April Monteith checked himself into rehab for substance abuse, an issue he had struggle with since he was a teen. At the time Michele tweeted her support for Monteith, posting: “I love and support Cory and will stand by him through this. I am grateful and proud he made his decision.”

According to People.com, a cause of death is not apparent, but police say there were no indications of foul play. An autopsy is set for Monday, and Vancouver authorities will not comment on whether any drug paraphernalia was found in Monteith’s hotel room. Many are speculating Monteith’s cause of death to be due to a drug overdose, taking into account his history.

NEWS: CORY MONTEITH, STAR OF HIT SHOW "GLEE" DIES AT 31

Cory Monteith, the handsome young actor who shot to fame in the hit TV series Glee but was beset by addiction struggles so fierce that he once said he was lucky to be alive, was found dead in a hotel room, police said. He was 31.

Monteith, who played the character Finn Hudson on the Fox TV series about a high school glee club, was found dead in his room on the 21st floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel on Vancouver’s waterfront at about noon Saturday, according to police.

Deputy Police Chief Doug Lepard said there was no indication of foul play. Monteith’s body was found by hotel staff after he missed his check-out time, Lepard said.

“We do not have a great deal of information as to cause of death,” Coroner Lisa Lapointe said.

Lepard said Monteith had been out with people earlier and that those people are being interviewed.

“I have no words! My heart is broken,” Dot-Marie Jones, who plays football coach Shannon Beiste on “Glee,” said in a post on her Twitter account Saturday night. She called Monteith a “hell of a friend” and an “amazing” man

“What an absolutely tragic loss of a very talented young man,” tweeted Zooey Deschanel, star of another Fox show, “New Girl.”

Fox and the producers of “Glee,” including 20th Century Fox Television, called him an exceptional performer “and an even more exceptional person. He was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously.”

“We are in shock and mourning this tragic loss,” his representatives at Viewpoint Public Relations in Los Angeles said in a statement.

In April, Monteith admitted himself to a treatment facility for “substance addiction” and asked for privacy as he took steps toward recovery, a representative said at the time.

Lea Michele, his “Glee” co-star and real-life girlfriend, told People magazine that she loved and supported him and was proud he was seeking help.

It was not Monteith’s first time in rehab. He received treatment when he was 19 and had previously talked about his addiction struggles, saying he had a serious problem and took just “anything and everything.”

He told Parade magazine in 2011 that he was “lucky to be alive.”

Monteith, who turned 31 on May 11, starred in “Glee” as a high school football player who puts his status and popularity at risk to join the glee club and its outcast members.

The show, with its pop music-based song-and-dance numbers and high-profile guest stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, became an immediate hit and made stars of its relatively unknown cast.

The series, which debuted in 2009, is in its fourth season.

On his Twitter account, Monteith described himself as “tall, awkward, canadian, actor, drummer, person.”

In a 2010 interview with The Associated Press, Monteith was upbeat about life. He said that if “Glee” were to be canceled he would be OK.

“I’ve never been afraid of working,” he said. “I’ve never been afraid of auditioning for jobs. Obviously, I’ve never been afraid of anonymity. I was happy (before ‘Glee’). I’m happy now. I guess I’m well adjusted.”

Monteith was among the “Glee” actors who remained series regulars as their characters graduated high school and moved on to other adventures.

According to his biography on Fox’s website, Monteith was born in Calgary, Alberta, and moved to Vancouver Island as a child. Before turning to acting, he held a variety of jobs including Wal-Mart greeter, school bus driver, roofer and cab driver.

Monteith’s TV credits included roles on the series “Kaya” and “Kyle XY” and guest appearances on “Smallville,” ”Supernatural,” ”Stargate,” ”Flash Gordon” and “Interns.” His film credits included “Final Destination 3,” ”The Invisible,” ”Deck the Halls” and “Whisper.”

"I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING" - 2FACE ADDRESSES BLACKFACE

Going by recent indications, members of the defunct music group, Plantashun Boiz - 2Face Idibia and Blackface might have a few issues to sort out with each other. The ‘bone-of-contention’ is nothing new, Blackface is still upset over not being given his due on 2Face’s breakaway hit song, “African Queen.”

Blackface insists that he also has a share in the glory and therefore is entitled to whatever revenue 2Face earns from the song.

The 2Face Idibia camp has reacted to the claim by saying “2Face doesn’t owe Blackface anything”. According to a rep for the singer, “African Queen” was produced under the Kennis Music imprint, and as such 2Face cannot personally be held responsible for paying his former group member.

The strain in the relationship between these two became more obvious after 2Face & Annie’s fairytale wedding in Dubai, which Blackface wasn’t invited to.
