Whoa. I repeat: WHOA! Looks like Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith have more in common than just being stars of the hit TV show Glee. They both found out they were canned, not by their bosses -- no, cause that would be the usual way of doing things -- but in another way altogether.
In Colfer's case, his bomb was dropped on Twitter. (What's the hashtag for that? Must have looked something like this: @ChrisColfer Don't bother coming 2 wrk on Mon. Nice knowin' ya! #you'recanned.)
For Monteith, it seems the deed was done via Hollywood Reporter:
Only the most sadistic manager would ever look forward to telling an employee that he is about to be out of a job, but virtually all managers recognize that, uncomfortable though it is, they have to deliver the news to the redundant staffer face-to-face. However, "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy went a different way with series star Cory Monteith: The readers of The Hollywood Reporter found out that Monteith wouldn't be back for "Glee" Season 4 before Monteith himself did...."Murphy acknowledged that while he hasn't discussed graduation plans with Monteith yet, he presumes he's aware that Finn will be among those graduating." ...Murphy on Monteith: "He knows he was a sophomore when the show started." [yahoo]
So, now all that's left to figure out is how Lea Michele was notified. (I'm thinking she probably heard it from Guilliana Rancic who heard it from Ryan Seacrest who heard it from Joel McHale.) Methinks morale on the set this season is gonna be awfully low.
Way to go Fox and producers of Glee. You're both class acts, 100%. Fabulous way to treat the stars who made your TV show a hit. No, no. Keep raking in the cash and enjoying the ratings. Don't let a little thing like being total douchebags bother you none. *pats on the back* Sleep well tonight knowing you have no idea how to handle matters such as this in a professional, humane manner. Well done! *thumbs up* #assholes
