'Glee's' Lea Michele: 'Cory Will Forever Be in My Heart'

"I just wanted to be here today to personally thank all of you and tell everyone out there how much all of your love and support has meant to me over these very difficult few weeks," an emotional Michele said from the stage at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif.

"I wanted to dedicate this award to Cory. For all of you out there who loved and admired Cory as much as I did, I promise that with your love we're gonna get through this together. He was very special to me and also to the world. And we were very lucky to witness his incredible talent, handsome smile and his beautiful, beautiful heart. So whether you knew him personally or just as Finn Hudson, Cory reached out and became a part of all of our hearts -- and that's where he'll stay forever."

Michele's comments come nearly two weeks after the actress broke her silence following Monteith's July 13 death. Monteith, her Glee co-star for four seasons and boyfriend of over a year, died at the age of 31. An autopsy revealed that the actor died of "mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol. The actress until Sunday had only issued a brief statement via Twitter thanking the legions of Glee fans for their support.

During Sunday's Teen Choice Awards, Glee's Amber Riley (Mercedes) acknowledged her late co-star while accepting the win for favorite comedy series. "Although we lost someone that we really love and that you guys love, too, we are very fortunate to come back to a show where we feel the love of family, and Cory was like a brother to us."

Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly told reporters during the Television Critics Association's summer press tour that Monteith's Finn will be written out of Glee during the third episode of the show's upcoming fifth season.

"Cory's character will be written off and [it] will deal directly with drug addiction and the circumstances surrounding Cory's death," Reilly said, noting that the cast and creators of the series will film public service announcements about drug addiction. Additionally, proceeds from the third episode of Glee's upcoming fifth season will be donated to a new fund for the late actor. It remains unclear if Monteith's Finn will be killed off on the series co-created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.

Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy recently told The Hollywood Reporter that the plan is to pay tribute to Monteith -- whom he described as an "older son" -- with a tribute during the show's third episode, assuming he and the producers "can get it perfect."

"The right thing to do for the show, at least at this point, is to have that character pass," Murphy said. "When we do the tribute episode to that character, we'll have to do it in a way where the castmembers will not have to re-create feelings of grief that they’ve had [following Monteith's death] -- but do it in an upbeat way. If we can do this responsibly and help young people through these feelings, that’s the best that we can hope for."

Murphy -- who noted he was taking cues for the show from Michele -- said his team didn't intend to tackle the tribute episode until after the cast gathered to remember their friend and colleague during a recent memorial. Production resumed on Glee's fifth season last week.

Glee's Darren Criss and Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale co-hosted the awards, where Glee co-stars Chord Overstreet and Blake Jenner also took home awards.

'Bachelorette' finale: Des gets a proposal

Heartbroken Desiree Hartsock's voice cracked and tears flowed throughout the entire two hours of Monday's Bachelorette finale as she tried to soldier on down the romance path in the wake of Brooks Forester's exit last week.

The bridal stylist started off by giving roses to Drew Siegfried, 27, a digital marketing analyst from Scottsdale, Ariz., and Chris Kenney, 27, a mortgage broker from McMinnville, Ore., even though she had told host Chris Harrison at the start of the show, "I just want to go home, to be honest."

Drew confessed he was ready to propose. "I'm madly in love with her. There isn't one iota of hesitation or doubt," he told cameras. "I can't wait to finally follow through with it."

But after only a few minutes, weepy Desiree sat him down in the Antigua sand and said, "I feel like maybe there's something missing."

He held her hand and said, "Um, I didn't see this happening."

The more she cried, the more stoic he got. "He said, "This hurts, this hurts a lot. I don't know when it will really sink in.' I guess… bye." He walked off down the beach. "I'm crushed," he confessed.

As former Bachelorette Emily Maynard pointed out on Twitter, "I know she probably had to, but why give a rose to any of them? She already said she wanted to be with Brooks. #Bachelorette"

And Harrison kept asking the live studio audience, "Will she become the first Bachelorette ever to go home alone?" Or, he said, "Who here thinks it's not too late for Brooks to come back into the picture?"

Next up, Chris. Suddenly Des seemed happier. She met him in a bikini top and black sarong, showing off her hot bod. While out on a catamaran, Chris told her that "going forward, I'll be there for you and I'll love you. You'll have a shoulder to cry on if you have to. You won't have to stand there by yourself."

They kissed and laughed and drank. "I'm going to trust my heart," vowed Des. They wound up on a bed and he gave her a journal. "I feel like I'm the luckiest girl alive," she confessed, crying. "How could I not have loved him from the beginning?" She toasted him, calling him "the greatest man I've ever known," and "a loyal friend."

Back in the L.A. studio, Harrison talked to last season's Bachelor Sean Lowe and fiancée Catherine Giudici and asked when they were getting married. "Soon," said Sean, but he said they weren't ready to announce a date. He also said, "I'm more in love with her today than when I proposed to her."

One final hurdle: Desiree's family. Yes, brother Nate, who ruined Desiree's romance with Sean, appeared to give Chris a final grilling. He kept trying to rile Chris, but Chris stayed cool. To Des, he asked, "Is he the one you want to spend the rest of your life with?" asked Nate.

"In this moment, yes," she said.

Chris picked out a ring, telling jeweler Neil Lane that he was so excited "on a scale from 1 to 100, I'm a 101."

While "Brooks" began trending on Twitter -- fans were still thinking he might show up -- the final moment arrived.

Desiree, in her long gown, waited for Chris on the top of a hill on the Caribbean island. "Chris is the man I can love for the rest of my life," she said. "I've been waiting for this my entire life." But she worried what Chris' reaction would be when he found out about Brooks.

Chris took her hands and said, "I couldn't be more happy." He recounted all their happy times through the season. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. ... I want to be that rock that doesn't break for you."

He started to get down on one knee and she stopped him.

Surprised, he looked down.

"I have a few things to say, too," she said, crying. "I was torn apart by Brooks leaving. I loved him. Throughout the journey I was torn between the two of you. ... I feel like I couldn't see the one thing I always needed was right in front of me. ... I thank you every day for not giving up. I love you so much."

They kissed.

And THEN he got down on one knee and proposed. "Will you marry me?"

"Yes," she said through her tears. He put a ring on it.

SIMON COWELL'S BABY MAMA I Didn't Cheat MY HUBBY KNEW EVERYTHING

Lauren Silverman -- the woman who is pregnant with Simon Cowell's baby -- is telling close friends she is outraged at her estranged husband's "shock" that Simon was banging her ... because she says he knew what was going on the whole time and he was doing the same thing. 

Sources close to Lauren tell TMZ ... Lauren is bitching that she hooked up with Simon partly because her estranged husband Andrew Silverman was cavorting around the world and partying with girls on various continents. 

What's more ... Lauren is telling her friends her relationship with Simon evolved right in front of Andrew and he never said he had a problem with it -- it was a tacit mutual understanding. 

Lauren is saying she would speak to Simon several times a day on the telephone and Andrew knew they were talking. 

Lauren says she visited Simon in England several times and Andrew had no problem with the trips -- and it was obvious what was going on. 

Lauren is beyond pissed that Andrew is now feigning shock, because she says he knew everything from the get go. 

As for their divorce, Lauren is telling friends, there are no real money issues. The real sticking point is their 7-year-old son. Andrew wants full custody but Lauren is saying no way in hell will he get that. 

In fact ... Lauren says she wants primary custody and will fight tooth and nail to get it. Although she admits that she sometimes travels, she says he is away much more than her and she is the better parent.

Black Sabbath brings the heavy metal thunder

BRISTOW, Va. — Black Sabbath still forges impressive heavy metal.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees (Class of 2006) took the stage here to flashing red lights and the sound of sirens, thundering drums and a devilish laugh — "Ha, ha, ha!" — emitted unmistakably by frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

Quickly, the band lit into War Pigs from the band's seminal 1970 album Paranoid, the beginning of a by-the-numbers tour through the heavy metal pioneers' past and present.

Over the next two hours, bassist Geezer Butler, guitarist Tommy Iommi and singer Ozzy Osbourne — three-fourths of the original quartet — and new drummer Brad Wilk (ex-Rage Against the Machine) leaned heavily on tracks hammered out more than 40 years ago. Also welded into the set: four new songs from the first Ozzy-fied Sabbath studio release in 35 years, the album 13, which hit No. 1 after its release June 11.

"Thank you for helping us finally getting a Number One record in America, man," Osbourne told the crowd early on. "We couldn't have done it without you."

MORE: Black Sabbath reunites for album and tour

As is common with so-called legacy acts, a few concert-goers skittered off to the restroom or concession stand when a new selection was introduced. But most listeners deemed the latest material — Age of Reason, End of the Beginning,Methademic and God is Dead?, all from 13 — to be of similar metallurgical makeup.

They performed in front of a backdrop that resembled the Batcave with four stalagtite-separated video screens. Butler tended his stage right territory, intently providing heart-stopping bass lines with the appropriate amount of sludge. Some of his fastest finger work came during the pounding two-fer Behind the Wall of Sleep and N.I.B., both from Sabbath's eponymous first album.

Meanwhile, Iommi stalked the stage with purpose. Like the others, dressed in dark clothing but primped in a black leather overcoat, the guitarist delivered dinosaur rock riffs aplenty.

And his swift shredding propelled an instrumental jam that turned into a solo for Wilk, who subbed for longtime drummer Bill Ward in the studio before the tour. His hard-pounding attack won over the crowd and he wooed any laggards with a pound-and-response routine to end the solo.

Osbourne, now as much an icon for his reality TV hijinks as his heavy metal bona fides, was commendable on vocals, if not as capable as in the past. He relied heavily on his teleprompter, as is common among singers these days.

When free to cavort, Ozzy led a virtual hard rock aerobics class, running in place and hopping and coaching the crowd to clap and wave their arms. Three times he took to his knees to bow before Iommi, as the guitarist threw forth transportive streams of notes. Several times he dunked his head into a blue bucket of water before tossing it on the audience near the set's end.

Speaking of the audience, there were the thousands donning black T-shirts with Black Sabbath and Ozzy designs in the packed 10,000-seat Jiffy Lube Live ampitheater. Thousands more watched from the lawn.

Ages ran from those in their 70s to pre-teens with their parents. "It was fantastic!" said Pat Harris, 27, of Waldorf, Md. "Ozzy and the boys were so crisp. Brad Wilk brought his A game to show us traditionalists not to worry about the future of the band. Hands down, the best show I have been to in three years."

This was just the third date of a global tour that includes more than a dozen North American dates, as well as stops in South America, Europe and ending in the U.K.

These heavy metal dinosaurs still walk the earth and, as evident here, are far from extinct.

Jack White's estranged wife files restraining order

The divorce proceedings between Nashville rocker Jack White and his wife, Karen Elson, have apparently turned sour now that a judge has granted a restraining order against the musician after claims he barraged his wife with harassing phone calls and e-mails in recent months.

In a Nashville circuit court filing requesting the order, Elson's attorney claimed White had been pressuring his wife into a settlement agreement over the parenting of the couple's two children.

"He has persisted in discouraging her from communicating with or taking advice from her counsel in effort to coerce her into acting against her and the parties' minor children's best interests, often by emails laced with profanity and calling wife derogatory names," the filing stated. "These communications are often threatening in nature and the wife fears for her and the children's safety as a result of this harassment."

This comes two years after the couple announced they were ending things amicably in grand style, throwing a party to celebrate the split.

According to the court filing, White recently urged Elson to contact their children's private school to have their son placed in a different class from the child of another entertainer whom White "feels has 'ripped off' his music."

The filing also states that White accused Elson of being disrespectful for attending the wedding of another entertainer whom he says also ripped off his music.

Circuit Judge Phillip Robinson granted the restraining order July 19, allowing White to contact his wife through e-mail only. A hearing on the case is scheduled for Aug. 29.
