Lea Michele Reveals Kate Hudson Helped Her Heal After Cory Monteith's Death

Lea Michele Reveals Kate Hudson Helped Her Heal After Cory Monteith's Death:

Lea Michele is opening up about her boyfriend Cory Monteith's death in the new issue of Elle magazine.

The "Glee" star, 27, covers the December issue and reveals that her co-star Kate Hudson took her in and helped her cope with Monteith's death. Michele admits that Hudson was one of the first people she called upon hearing the tragic news, explaining, "I called her and said, 'I don't know where I'm going to go because my house is swarmed [with reporters].' She was like, 'Oh, you're going to stay at my house.' Like it was nothing."

And Hudson didn't just open her doors to Michele.

"She let my family stay there, and any of my friends. She made sure that in the refrigerator were my favorite juices," Michele tells Elle. "I'll never really be able to thank her, truly, for what she did for me."

Monteith died in July at the age of 31 from a "mixed drug toxicity" consisting of heroin and alcohol and Michele has been slowly adjusting to a life without him ever since.

“It’s very hard,” she admits, continuing, “You have to be very strong to come out of this alive, but I think by doing the best for myself, by showing that you don’t have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of strength or comfort.”

In the interview, Michele also admits that she and Monteith began dating during the first season of "Glee," but that "no one really caught on." In early 2012, they made it official: "'You wanna do this?'" Michele recalled them asking themselves. "We knew."

“I know that Cory would want nothing more than for me to take this situation and use it to help people," Michele adds, "I don’t know if I will. I don’t know how."

Cosmopolitan Stands By Lea Michele, Cover Shot

Cosmo Stands By Lea Michele, Cover Shot: "

In the face of parental criticism, Cosmopolitan is standing behind Lea Michele and its latest cover shot.

A few days after the Glee star posed in a low cut dress for the publication, Fox News spoke to a handful of mothers who (somehow) criticized the magazine and the actress for showing poor taste.

Now, editors have released a simple statement that reads: We're thrilled to feature Lea Michele on the March cover of Cosmopolitan magazine and think she looks stunning. Michele is a grown woman and Cosmopolitan is a magazine for adults.

That does pretty much sum it up. Michele is 24 years old, after all. Perhaps parents can use this as an opportunity to explain the differences between fictional characters and real life.

Do you think the spread is inappropriate?

Lea Michele Cosmopolitan Magazine Cover 2011 Photo Slammed By “Concerned Mom”

Lea Michele Cosmopolitan Magazine Cover 2011

Cleavage-Clad Lea Michele Cosmopolitan Cover Photo Slammed By “Concerned Mom”: "

We spy chi-chis. So do a few other people…and that’s precisely why Lea Michele is at the center of yet another magazine cover controversy.

The Glee star, 24, earned rave reviews for her rendition of “America The Beautiful” at Sunday’s Super Bowl, but has raised the eyebrows and ire of one “concerned” mom and her confused 12-year-old after posing in a boob-baring photo for the cover of the March 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine. The offending image features Michele, a Broadway alum, in a low-cut black dress with a tagline that reads: “‘Glee’s’ Good Girl Has Some Naughty Secrets.” “Scandalous,” cries which New York mom Kim Trefcer, who believes the somewhat saucy image “confused and offended” her preteen son, a devoted Gleek.

In the words of the divine Charlie Brown: “Oh Good Grief!”

“I think Lea Michele is sending the wrong message. She plays such a ‘good girl’ on ‘Glee’ and a lot of kids look up to her persona. Then she poses very provocatively on two magazine covers which makes my almost-13-year-old son very confused and offended,” Trefcer told FOX News shortly after Lea’s Cosmo cover hit newsstands last week. “I find it frustrating as a parent who is trying to teach right from wrong to their kids and then you have things like this happen which is showing middle schoolers things like sex sells and all that goes along with that.”

The remarks stirred a splash on the Interwebs over the weekend, prompting Cosmo editors to leap to Lea’s defense in a brief statement issued Monday.

“We’re thrilled to feature Lea Michele on the March cover of Cosmopolitan magazine and think she looks stunning. Michele is a grown woman and Cosmopolitan is a magazine is for adults. Enough said,” a spokesperson for the mag remarked.

As you devoted Gleekers out there will likely recall, Lea set off a similar firestorm when she and co-stars Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith posed for GQ’s Oct. 2010 edition in their underwear. The blogosphere went wild with fans of the Emmy-winning show both defending and condemning the actors. Media watchdog group the Parents Television Council branded the images “borderline pedophilia.”
