LEA MICHELE has spoken out for the first time about the death of her boyfriend and “Glee” co-star CORY MONTEITH.  She Tweeted a picture of the two of them together, along with this message . . . quote, “Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support.  Cory will forever be in my heart.”  Their co-star KEVIN MCHALE did the same.

Forbes.com has dropped its annual list of the Highest-Paid Actresses . . . and ANGELINA JOLIE tops it with $33 million.  JENNIFER LAWRENCE was second with $26 million, and KRISTEN STEWART pulled down $22 million for a third-place finish.

Even though the “Beverly Hills Cop” TV series died, it somehow resurrected interest in a new “Beverly Hills Cop” movie.  And EDDIE MURPHY is on board.  We don’t know if BRANDON T. JACKSON will play Eddie’s son, as he did in the pilot that ultimately wasn’t picked up by any of the networks.

The “New York Post” claims “The View” is, quote, “very interested” in having the “Today” show’s HODA KOTB replace ELISABETH HASSELBECK . . . but a rep for ABC says, quote, “There’s absolutely zero truth to this whatsoever.”

Syfy has released the trailer for their next ridiculous shark-related original movie.  It’s called “Ghost Shark”, and it’s about a shark that was killed by a fisherman . . . and comes back from the dead, as a ghost, to exact revenge on the human race.

The Backside of the News

A woman recently put a pair of high heels up on eBay, and a potential buyer asked if she’d upload photos of herself WEARING them.  And KEPT asking, even after the auction ended.  Since they seemed more interested in the FEET than the SHOES, the woman complied . . . by sending photos of her HUSBAND’S feet squeezed into the heels.

20 people, who were involved in a fight inside a Michigan Chuck E. Cheese that may have started because a child was taking too long to choose a toy.
