Lea Michele has made a pilgrimage to the hotel where her boyfriend, Cory Monteith, died.
The devastated Glee star made her first public outing since 31-year-old Cory was found dead from a heroin and alcohol overdose last weekend to the Vancouver hotel where he passed away. According to an eyewitness, Lea, 26, was "out of her mind" with grief when she stopped at a makeshift memorial to the star outside the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel.
Rik Feydik, who claims to be a friend of Cory's, spotted Lea about an hour after the family left the body at the hospital. "Lea was in the back seat of one of the vehicles sitting between two bodyguards. She was wearing her signature huge black shades. Lea never got out of the vehicle but she stayed parked in in front of the memorial for five to seven minutes," Feydik said. When Rik approached the cars they raced off. "They were driving crazy," he added.

Lindsay Lohan will move in with her mother after leaving rehab.
The 27-year-old actress is determined to clean up her act and wants to live with her mum Dina after completing her 90-days of court-ordered rehabilitation on July 31 - which she was forced to complete as part of a plea deal she struck to avoid jail after lying to police officers about driving in a car accident last year.
"She will definitely start back at home with all of us," Dina said.
The Mean Girls star spent her birthday on July 2 without her family and instead had a low-key celebration "with all the kids at rehab" at Cliffside rehab facility in Malibu. "We couldn't visit because it fell during the week but we mailed her cards and gifts. We're going to work it out to all go visit her again, and then we're planning a pool party," Dina insisted.

Brooke Mueller quit rehab because it was "too hard."
The former wife of Charlie Sheen checked in to the Betty Ford Clinic in California last month for her 21st rehab stint but left the facility recently because she was unhappy at being asked to do chores. "Brooke didn't tell anyone, including her lawyer, that she had left Betty Ford. Brooke hated Betty Ford because she was required to do daily chores, which she resented. She complained that Betty Ford was just too hard. Betty Ford is hardcore and Brooke just doesn't respond well in situations where she can't call the shots," a source said.
However, 35-year-old Brooke's decision to leave rehab could ruin her chances at regaining custody of her four-year-old twin sons Bob and Max, who are currently being looked after by Charlie's other ex-wife Denise Richards. "This could have a serious impact on Brooke's bid to get custody of the twins. Brooke just doesn't seem to be taking get sober that seriously. Her doctors at Betty Ford advised her not to leave, but she did anyway. Her therapists will be submitting an extensive report about Brooke's time at Betty Ford and it won't be glowing, that is for sure," the insider added.

Denise Richards has been raising Brooke Mueller's kids for over a year.
The 42-year-old actress was granted temporary legal guardian for her ex-husband Charlie Sheen and Brooke's twin sons, Bob and Max, when child protective services removed them from the socialite's home last month. However, it has now emerged Denise - who has two daughters, Lola, eight, and Sam, nine, with Charlie - has actually spent far more time with the four-year-old boys than Brooke herself over the last nine months, due to her struggles with drug addiction.
"'Initially, Brooke willingly placed the boys in Denise's care because she was going in and out of rehab, and using drugs. Child protective services has now asked Denise to give specific dates that she had been taking care of the twins, in advance of a big custody hearing in July. The boys have spent more time with Denise than with their own biological mother for the last nine months. The boys are a part of Denise's family, and they are extremely happy in her care," a source said.
