Ryan Murphy Is Offering Up Some Clarity on This “Glee” Casting Ridiculousness

First, “Glee” was losing CHRIS COLFER, LEA MICHELE and CORY MONTEITH following next season . . . then they weren’t . . . and now we have a little more clarity on what’s going on.

–Co-creator Ryan Murphy tells Deadline.com that he previously insisted the graduating seniors WERE leaving the show because they had something else in the works behind the scenes.

–Murphy explains, quote, “We were going to do a spin-off [with] the three of them . . . they all knew what was happening, they all had approved it, they all said they wanted to do it . . .

–”Then [the talk about them leaving 'Glee'] blew up, and a lot of articles were written about it.  Some people were writing they’re not on the show so that means they must be fired.  Well, no.  That was 100% incorrect.”

–Okay, so there was a spin-off . . . and it was sort of hush-hush . . . and that’s why there was all this confusion about the future of“Glee’s” stars.

–But Murphy also says that their plans to do a spin-off have “collapsed,” and now they’re going to put the idea on ice and revisit it next spring.

–Now we’re back at Square One:  So let’s just assume that everyone is staying on “Glee” unless we he hear otherwise.  (–And at the rate we’ve been going, we can expect to “hear otherwise” sometime early next week.)

–The judge told her to figure out a way to get into counseling within the next three weeks, even if she has to put it on a friend’s credit card.  The judge and Lindsay both agreed group counseling won’t work for her because of her fame.

–”So my prediction about Bieber is that he’s going to go through one of those weekends that lasts a few years because he’s had such success as a child act.

–”Then something else new will come along, and he’ll be forgotten, and he can try to put all the pieces back together, so it’s going to be entertaining to watch.”

–After some friendly topics, Harris began tossing out some hard questions:

–Like, quote, “Do you worry at times that the people who have followed in your footsteps . . . like KIM KARDASHIAN . . . are overshadowing you?” and “There’s been some talk about the ratings on the show being low, has that upset you?”

–But, instead of all that, her lawyer, GLORIA ALLRED, negotiated a $10 MILLION settlement for Rachel.

–It was basically “hush money” . . . it came with a confidentiality clause that said Rachel could never talk about Tiger.  If she did, she’d have to return the money AND Tiger could go after her for damages.

–WELL . . . even though Rachel was careful during her media appearances not to talk specifically about Tiger, his lawyers have started suggesting that she DID get too detailed and violate the confidentiality clause.

–Which has led to this:  Rachel’s RETURNED the money to Tiger to avoid being sued . . . and now she’s going after Gloria Allred.

–She’s apparently hired a malpractice attorney because she feels that Gloria USED HER.  Rachel says Gloria made a deal with Tiger’s attorneys that even if they went after Rachel, Gloria would still get to keep her millions in attorney’s fees.

–Yesterday, Gloria issued a statement denying that she had a deal with Tiger’s attorneys . . . and also said that she no longer represents Rachel.

Are Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green On the Outs Since Shia LaBeouf Admitted He Hooked Up with Megan?

We don’t know if this is true, but it was inevitable that a tabloid would run with this story:

–The marriage of MEGAN FOX and BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN is in a very fragile state ever since SHIA LABEOUF admitted that he hooked up with Megan a few years ago.

–“OK!” magazine says it happened in 2008, while they were filming the second“Transformers” movie.

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller Aren’t Requiring Each Other to Be Drug Tested

I fear for the children of CHARLIE SHEEN and BROOKE MUELLER for many reasons.  Here’s another one:

–TMZ says that their custody deal states that neither of them has to undergo drug testing.

–Let’s face it:  They both know there’s a good chance they could FAIL a drug test, and that fear probably outweighed the potential benefit of catching the other one failing.

–We haven’t seen Charlie under the influence in a while . . . but then again, we haven’t seen much of Charlie at all in a while.

–Meanwhile, Brooke was just photographed the other day with what some people believe was a homemade, aluminum foil crackpipe in her hand.

–She was also spotted in a seedy neighborhood in Hawaii recently, approaching a parked car with cash in her hand.  We don’t know what that was about . . . but we do know what it SOUNDS like.

–Brooke currently has custody of the twins, Max and Bob.  Charlie can see them every other weekend if he chooses to . . . but that hasn’t really been happening.  He’s supposedly “busy” with work projects.
