Dianna Agron and Naya Rivera (WireImage) Cory Monteith (WireImage) Cory Monteith 's sudden death at 31 left his "Glee" co-stars in shock.
Dianna Agron , who played Monteith's former flame on the Fox show, issued a heartfelt statement on Wednesday, four days after he was found unresponsive in a Vancouver hotel room.
"I have never lost a friend," Agron wrote under a photo of herself and Monteith on Instagram. "In this difficult time, I am leaning on all of the wonderful memories we shared with Cory, how many ways he was able to make us smile. Glee was a gift to all of us. It gave us a family in this industry.
We really cut our teeth and grew up on this show. In playing underdogs, we learned that we had dug into the hearts of our viewers and that we could stay there."

Agron continued, "Cory is so deserving of that place in everyone's hearts. He was one of the most generous and kind people that I have ever met.
He had a smart, curious mind, he was an enormous talent. He was loving to not only me, but my family. My heart goes out to his family, to [girlfriend] Lea [Michele], to everyone that is struggling with the loss of our friend. We will miss you Cory. We will always carry a piece of you with us.
"

"The entire Glee family and I are deeply saddened by this tragedy," the statement read. "Cory was and always will be a part of my own family and a good friend.
He was a special part of this world and will forever be missed. My heart goes out to Cory's family and Lea and while we are grateful for everyone's well wishes, privacy during this time of grief is greatly appreciated."

The Secret to Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens’s Friendship

Ashley Tisdale with Vanessa Hudgens at a Hollywood event in June. (Instagram) Hollywood is a cutthroat industry and there is no shortage of stories of backstabbing among some of even the closest friends. But count out Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens when it comes to that kind of drama.
"She's like my family. She's like my sister. We grew up together," Tisdale, 28, tells omg! when asked about the secret to their friendship, which stems back to their days on the set of 2006's "High School Musical" and continues to be well-documented if you follow either one of them on social media.
(See recent exhibits A , B , and C ― as well as this bonus of their goofy reenactment of "Bridesmaids" scenes)

"We were part of something that was really exciting," Tisdale says of playing Sharpay Evans to Hudgens's Gabriella Montez in the tweenie-bopper loved TV movie trilogy. "Doing a franchise, you become a family with everybody in that cast. It's hard to explain because it's a bond between all of us. Nobody knew that it was going to be super successful.
It's not one of those movies that are made after a book and are super successful. For us, it kind of came out of nowhere. We were like, 'Whoa ― what just happened?'"
Needless to say, that bond established via work carried over into real life.
"So just going through stuff together" is the secret, Tisdale says of her relationship with Hudgens, 24. "She's like my best friend.
I'm so supportive of her and she's supportive of me. I'm so proud of her and all the work she's done."

The girls are so tight they even sweat together, attending group exercises classes at SoulCycle in Los Angeles. And Tisdale insists that their fellow spinners are unfazed about seeing them there.
"In L.A., I think they've seen a lot more [high-profile] people," Tisdale laughs.
Tisdale with Hudgens at an event back in 2005. (WireImage) Hudgens isn't Tisdale's only exercise buddy. She also logs workouts with celeb trainer Harley Pasternak, who "does a lot of lightweight training with me," says Tisdale, who recently helped launch the snack food Cracker Jack'd in New York City. "I'm definitely someone who loves to do yoga, but I also like to switch it up and do spin as well. I never want to get bored, so I like to change it up."
And she's not one of those celebs who downplays the amount of time that she spends in the gym, noting, "I'm always exercising. It's because I get stressed out during the day with work and stuff, so I make it a point to take an hour where I do my own thing. That's really why I like to work out."
As for what extra things she does when she has to, say, strip down for steamy photo shoots ― like her hot pictorial in Maxim in May ― Tisdale, who is dating singer Christopher French from the band Annie Automatic, shares her trick. Well, sort of.
"I pretty much cut out carbs," she says, before adding, "I guess?"
Asked what she means, she adds, "I'm one of those people that [reporters] ask: 'What did you do to prepare for a red carpet?' I'm like: 'I just ate Thai food!'" she laughs, then adds, "I don't really think about all that stuff."
So she doesn't like to think too much about calorie counting and she's a devoted friend? Hmm … how do we get into her inner circle?

Cher Buys Beverly Hills Home for $2.1 Million … But Will She Actually Live There?

Cher's new Beverly Hills home. (Trulia)
Beverly Hills can add one more rich and famous face to its roster of homeowners. Cher just purchased a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home there for a little over $2.145 million, according to real estate website Trulia .
As per the home's original listing, the two-story house sits on about a half acre, and boasts a bright, eat-in kitchen with stone countertops and (pricey) Viking appliances; beamed ceilings; a master bedroom with two fireplaces; and a closet that would make any clotheshorse drool complete with "his and her" sides and a center island, perfect for storing all those Bob Mackie pieces.
Cher (Frederick M.
Brown/Getty Images) The house certainly sounds fit for a celebrity who values her privacy since it's gated and sits at the end of a private driveway, nestled in a canyon. As for outdoor space, there's a courtyard adjacent to the kitchen, a deck attached to the master bedroom, a patio off the living room, and a large yard with a waterfall and meditation space. (One Beverly Hills home staple that's auspiciously absent? A swimming pool.) But before members of the 90210 welcome wagon start gearing up for a visit, expecting to meet the iconic songstress, they should note that the 67-year-old may not actually be the one moving in.

Though the trust Cher uses to buy most of her properties is the one that purchased the pad, according to Trulia, it could actually be for her 36-year-old son Elijah Blue Allman. Back in March, when Cher listed her place in Venice, California , for close to $2 million, it turned out it was Elijah who had been residing there … which means he probably needs a new place to crash.
Then again, so does Cher. The Oscar winner unloaded her West Hollywood condo earlier this year for a cool $5.25 million, and (unconfirmed) reports have been swirling that she has also sold her $45 million Malibu mega-mansion to Jay-Z and Beyonce.
That place came complete with a home gym, pool, tennis court, and totaled a whopping 13,126-square-feet, as compared to her new Beverly Hills' home's measly 3,000. Now that's what we call downsizing.
Check out more pics of the pad in the slideshow below .

What Did Stacy Keibler Just Say About the George Clooney Breakup?

Stacy Keibler in L.A. on July 15 (Getty Images) Stacy Keibler is just fine following her split with George Clooney , thankyouverymuch.
The "Supermarket Sweeps" hostess held a food tasting event in L.A. on Monday for her new Lifetime show, and she appeared to be in good spirits when discussing about her recent breakup.

"Of course," Keibler, 33, told " Extra " when asked if she and her 52-year-old ex would remain friends. "There's nothing really dramatic that happened, so it's all good."

In case you missed it last week, that's pretty much what omg! told you verbatim as soon as news broke that the couple split after two years together.
Keibler was also asked if she's enjoying her newly single life with girlfriends.

"I'm someone that's always lived the present moment," she replied. "I always look at the positive on everything… I'm so excited for all these projects coming up, and I'm super busy…it keeps my mind off of things, yeah."
Keibler's "live in the present moment" mindset also applies to her views on marriage and children. Despite reports claiming that she broke things off with the Oscar-winning actor because he didn't want to settle down, sources insisted to omg! that wasn't true at all. The couple drifted apart due to distance and hectic schedules, insiders said.

While Keibler is working on the West Coast, Clooney was photographed on Tuesday looking dapper and happy as ever in Paris.
The actor popped in to visit Nespresso, a brand he represents.
He appeared to be in good spirits as he smiled and greeted fans outside.
But, c'mon. Did anyone ever really doubt George would have trouble going back to being a bachelor?
Take a look at other famous couples that have split this year:

Taylor Swift’s Swifties Unite to Bring Down Another T-Shirt About Her Exes

Taylor Swift. (George Pimentel/WireImage) Taylor Swift 's love life is fodder for her songs only, got it?
The singer has made it clear that she doesn't appreciate jokes about her many rumored romances , and neither do her fans.
Less than a month after her so-called Swifties pressured chain store Abercrombie & Fitch into removing a T-shirt that read "#more boyfriends than t.s.," fervored fans of the 23-year-old are targeting a much smaller clothier … with less successful results.
It all started when online retailer Bad Kids Clothing produced a shirt with the last names of men who have been linked to Swift — whether or not she actually dated them — for a custom order, and posted a pic of the result on Facebook.
Bad move.
The latest controversial garment. (Bad Kids Clothing) As Lex Houser, the owner of Bad Kids Clothing, put it on her blog Friday, what followed was an "attack of the Swifties." She received "70+ emails, 20+ calls, 12 texts and about 9 BILLION tweets, all from Swifties threatening to burn Bad Kids to the ground if we did not comply with their wishes" and "take down" the "extremely offensive" garment.

The threats backfired, though, because instead of pulling the T-shirt, Houser opted to put it on sale for the public. And she couldn't be happier about it.
"Well GUESS WHAT Swifties? Your heads are about to explode...
because we're officially putting these babies on sale!" she wrote. "This shirt shall be named 'The Doherty' after the man who requested it be made, and it's going on sale right about..
.MEOW!"
Ouch. Hauser even referred to felines, and Swift is a self-proclaimed cat lady.

Meow, indeed!

Kanye West’s New Hit Has Nothing to Do With Music

(A.P.C.) Even the notoriously cranky Kanye West is smiling today. Or at least he should be.
The 36-year-old new dad of Kim Kardashian 's baby North West has created a clothing line with French brand A.
P.C. that's selling faster than Kanye raps.
The nine-piece collection — which consists of the essentials like jeans, T-shirts, and hoodies — went on sale online Sunday morning at about 10 a.
m. Paris time and, according to People , immediately sold out and crashed the A.P.C. website.
Although some items have already been restocked, only the less popular sizes (size 25 jeans or an XXL T-shirt, for example) appear to still be available.
West and Kardashian were photographed together in Paris this spring as he worked on the designs, but the collaboration was only announced this summer. A.
P.C. designer Jean Touitou explained that the project actually took two years.

"Over the months, we kept hanging out and finally came up with the idea of doing a small capsule collection of clothes together," Touitou said in a statement.
If you haven't yet had the opportunity to buy a silkscreened tee with skeletons on it for about $137 in U.S. dollars, or a gray hoodie for about $222, the website is taking pre-orders through Wednesday.
(A.P.C.) (A.P.C.)
(A.P.C.) (A.P.C.)
West's previous attempts at fashion design have not always been successful. When he debuted his women's fashion label, DW Kanye West, at Paris Fashion Week in 2011, critics were not exactly kind.
The International Herald Tribune's style editor Jessica Michault took to Twitter to give her straightforward assessment: "The Kanye West show, in my humble opinion, is proof that everyone can love fashion but not everyone can be a fashion designer."
What do you think of West's latest threads?

Shia LaBeouf’s Super Creepy Red Light Stare- Down

We've heard of staring contests, but this borders on eerie! Shia LaBeouf gave motorcyclist, Philip Caputo a major case of the creeps, recently, after engaging in what appeared to be a full- blown staring contest with Philip at a red light in Burbank, Calif.
Luckily for us, the awkward encounter was caught by the biker's helmet cam, and boy, was it uncomfortable. Philip posted the vid to YouTube and explained his odd meeting with the "Transformers" star. He wrote, "This truck pulls up next to me at a stop light. I can see out of my periphery that the dude is just staring at me. The strange part is that he is in a right-turn-only lane and should be turning right.
Not wanting to make eye contact I ignore him, but the dude is still staring at me. So I look left, just to see what is going on. To balance things out, I then turn and look right. Turns out it was Shia LaBeouf.
We exchanged pleasantries, the light turned."
Shia's publicist could not be reached for comment, but we have to wonder what the look was all about!
Check out the vid to see the super bizarre Shia stare- down.
