Rachel and Finn are headed to NYC!

Glee co-stars and real life couple Lea Michele and Cory Monteith hitched a ride to the Fox Upfronts on a golf cart Monday, and we can't get over how cute they look together! We couldn't be happier these two decided to carry their on-screen romance off-screen!

It seems Glee creator Ryan Murphy has a change of plans in mind for some of the students at McKinley High. "Next year will be a renaissance. Two shows within a show," Fox head honcho Kevin Reilly said at the TV network presentation. "We'll follow some of our graduates to the Big Apple as they try to cut it at a college for the performing arts."

Since the sexy brunette and her Canadian hunk play two of the characters set to make the move out East, we wonder if they will take the leap and try living under the same roof?

The cast of Glee came out to celebrate their co-star Cory Monteith's 30th birthday Friday night. The gang all headed to the "after-party" after first gathering for the show's wrap party in Beverly Hills.

Pal Lily Collins turned out as well and everyone was in for a little birthday surprise when the cake was brought out. Click through to see the NSFW creation ...

Dying for some Glee spoilers? Luckily, star Lea Michele is spilling the beans about season three.

In an interview with TVaddict.com, the actress revealed that her character, Rachel Berry, would have a lot more screen time with boyfriend Finn (played by Cory Monteith). And while Rachel's already a diva, it seems that we'll see her fighting for even more stage time in season three. But what about those pesky graduation and spin-off rumors? Lea's taking it all in stride, saying:

"You know what's so funny is that I feel like so many people are looking so far ahead, and honestly for me, I know what is coming up for Rachel this season, and I'm so excited for that, so i try not to get too far ahead of myself, and I'm just focused on what I have to do right now."

If you weren't already excited for season three thanks to Lea's dish, check out the first official promo above. There are no slushies, but at least there's some dodgeballs!

Game on, Glee!

Twitter

You can't say that the Glee boys aren't in on the joke.

Mark Sailing decided to Tweet about all the fun he and his co-stars are having on their summer break before season three of the hit Fox show starts filming again. "The Glee bros and I wanted to keep up our chops up over the hiatus so we formed a tribute band," the actor also known as Puck wrote.

Is it just us, or do Mark and fellow Gleek Cory Monteith look kind of awesome in the wacky, over-the-top get-ups?

Yes, we know that Mark just Photoshopped the cast's heads onto the Village People, but still ... they really would make a great '70s cover band!

Sing it with us, will you? "YMCA!"

Ryan Murphy, you've got some explaining to do.

Just weeks after the Glee co-creator said that Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer would be graduating at the end of season three and not return for the fourth, Murphy's fellow executive producer is explaining the exaggerated claims.

At Sunday's Glee Comic-Con panel in San Diego, co-creator Brad Falchuk told the crowd that all three leads are not being let go. Lea, Chris and Cory may be nearing the end of their time as McKinley High students, but that doesn't mean that May 2012 is the last time you'll see the leads.

Falchuk explained:

“Here’s the exact thing: [Rachel, Kurt and Finn] are seniors, so they’re graduating, but because they’re graduating doesn’t mean they’re leaving the show. If you have Lea Michele under contract, you don’t say, ‘We’re gonna let you go.’”

So where did all the confusion come from? Murphy originally Tweeted the news that the trio would not return for season four. Chris even claims that he was never told directly but rather found out from the Twitter announcement. Awesome way to hear about your job, right?

Further making his point, two week ago Murphy told 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.”

To calm fans down, Falchuk reiterated:

“It was never our plan or our intention to let them go ... They are not done with the show after this season.”

Rest easy, Gleeks. Your beloved characters aren't going anywhere.

Still, one main character is definitely off the show. Find out who after the jump.
