“He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the necessary steps towards recovery.”
Cory Monteith’s girlfriend and Glee co-star Lea Michele told People magazine: “I love and support Cory and will stand by him through this. I am grateful and proud he made this decision.”
The 30-year-old actor has been open about his addiction problems in the past, and revealed back in 2011 that he entered rehab aged 19.
Cory Monteith hoped that talking about his own issues would help others to avoid making the same mistakes he did.
“I don’t want kids to think it’s okay to drop out of school and get high, and they’ll be famous actors, too,” he said.
“But for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it.”
Cory Monteith’s most recent tweet was posted on Thursday, when he wrote: “Such a beautiful day! truly seeing the forest for the trees. #gratitude.”
Glenn Beck announces he has plans to take on Glee, America’s favorite musical program, with a singing and dancing television show of his own.
Speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, D.C. Friday, former Fox News firebrand Glenn Beck said he was mesmerized by Glee‘s production quality, but was devastated that the program promoted “no values”.
He said that his show will champion Christian values and appeal to everyone, even liberals.
During the conference, Glenn Beck said he and his wife were shocked by the subjects discussed on Glee.
“It’s horrifying some of the things that they’re teaching high schoolers,” the radio host said.
“But it’s brilliantly done. It’s produced, brilliantly. Its music, brilliant. Its acting, brilliant. Its cinematography, brilliant. All of it!”

The problem, however, is that viewers prefer “high school kids dancing in lingerie” more than “shows that talk about God, faith, and family”.
“Everybody is sleeping with everybody else. There’s no values. It’s all self-gratification. It’s a nightmare,” he said of the Fox hit.
The self-hating Gleek says he’s been working with artists and musicians to “push back” against shows that display teens having casual sex, cursing, and other things he deems debaucherous.
“Why are we just giving the culture over to those who seek to promote filth? Why are we just complaining about it? How about we do something about it,” he said in a statement last week.
The show will be hosted on GBTV, Glenn Beck’s HD video network.
“We are working with a rapper – I can’t say who yet – but my audience and his audience will say, <<What?>>” Glenn Beck said to Buzzfeed.
“We jokingly call this our Oedipus project because the left will be making out with me… and they’ll have no idea.”

Lea Michele, who plays Rachel in Glee, recently posted on Twitter that the cast were paying tribute to a star, saying: “Starting a new episode today. A very special tribute to one of the worlds most amazing singers. Very excited about this one.”
The actress later added that she was “singing a really great version of one of [her] favourite songs” with Amber Riley, Naya Rivera and Chris Colfer and teased: “Filming something right now that’s going to be really special.. Can’t wait for you all to see it…”
Following Whitney Houston’s death earlier this year, Amber Riley sang I Will Always Love You on Glee. The performance had always been planned but the show paid tribute to Houston by adding a title card in her memory at the end of the episode.
Glee is currently on hiatus and will return on April 10 on Fox in the US, though it is not yet clear when the tribute episode will air. The show continues on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. on Sky1 in the UK.
