Cory Monteith

“Glee” star Lea Michele isn’t pregnant, but she loves the rumor.

It all started when the actress, 26, was snapped walking with a big purse covering what looks like a slight stomach bump (see pic here) – and speculation grew that she might be expecting a child with “Glee” co-star and boyfriend, Cory Monteith, 30.

"Extra" correspondent Jerry Penacoli sat down with the cast of "Glee" to talk about their upcoming "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie" -- and the hoopla surrounding the reports that key cast members Lea Michele, Corey Monteith and Chris Colfer will be "graduating" from the show at the end Season 3.

The show's creator Ryan Murphy recently announced Michele, Monteith and Colfer would be leaving the show after the next season because their characters are seniors and would realistically be exiting high school. But during last week's FOX TCA tour, network executives clarified that it still an ongoing creative process and nothing concrete has been decided.

It looks like Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer are among the "Glee" cast members permanently graduating at the end of Season 3 in 2012.

The hit FOX show just earned a slew of Emmy nominations, including one for Colfer, who toasted his nod for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series with "Extra's" Jerry Penacoli, and confirmed that this coming season will be his last.

"Do I wanna leave the show? Absolutely not," said Colfer. "This is home for me, but I understand. It's time for a conclusion."

"Glee" co-creator Ryan Murphy broke the news to the Hollywood Reporter. "You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year."

Actor Cory Monteith, who plays the wholesome football captain Finn Hudson on the hit FOX show "Glee," gave a candid interview to Parade Magazine, in which he revealed his recovery from a serious drug problem.

"I'm lucky on so many counts - I'm lucky to be alive," Monteith, 29, told Parade.

The actor said his spiral downward began when he was 13, living in British Columbia. By age 16, he says, "I was out of control," doing all kinds of drugs. "Anything and everything... as much as possible. I had a serious problem."

The cast of "Glee" celebrated their cast mate Naya Riveras' birthday at The Bank Nightclub in Las Vegas hotel Bellagio. Watch all the fun!

For the second consecutive year, Cory Monteith has also teamed up with Apple & Eve Fruitables in the search for the Best School Music Mash-Ups in America.

Just like on "Glee," elementary and middle school vocal groups can submit videos of their mash-up performances on Facebook.com/AppleandEve. In April, Cory will help narrow entries in time for a national vote.

Presenters for the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will include "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin, Jeff Bridges, Josh Duhamel, LL Cool J, Cory Monteith and "Parks and Recreation" star Amy Poehler.

They'll join previously announced presenters Rosario Dawson, Angie Harmon, Eva Longoria, Hilary Swank, Betty White and SAG President Ken Howard in honoring their colleagues' work in 2010.
