'He kept his drug addiction from me': Cory Monteith's ex-girlfriend Mallory Matoush reveals she had no idea he ever used heroin

In the dark: Mallory Matoush dated Cory Monteith for eight months but never saw him take drugs

Glee star Cory Monteith hid his deadly drug addiction even from those closest to him, it's been revealed.
His ex-girlfriend, Mallory Matoush, told Us, that Monteith was 'just a happy guy' and that she saw no sign of the addiction that would ultimately claim his life. 

'Cory kept me in the dark about his drug use,' she told the magazine.
'He told me about his teenage days and his past problems but he never used anything in front of me, ever.'
'He was always so silly and funny,' she added, explaining that she only ever saw him drink and then never to excess.
Monteith and Matoush met June 2011 and dated for eight or nine months.
'Cory was so normal. I didn't even know who he was when I met him,' she recalled.
She added: 'I had to Google it because after the first night I stayed with him, I was on my way out of his hotel and there was a crowd of young girls waiting for him. They asked me if I had seen Cory Monteith inside the hotel and I was so confused.'
The Canadian actor - who played Finn Hudson on the hit FOX series - was found on Saturday in his hotel room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver.
Cory - who completed a stint of rehab in April for substance addiction - was last pictured with his girlfriend Lea Michele just last month.
The news was confirmed by Vancouver Police at a press conference on Saturday night.

Cory had checked into the hotel on July 6 and had been due to check out on Saturday.
However, video footage had shown the actor returning to his room by himself after an evening out with friends on Friday.

Revealed: Cory Monteith died from heroin and alcohol overdose

Cory Monteith died from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol, it has been revealed.

The Glee actor, who was found dead in his hotel room on Saturday at the age of 31, died from a 'mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol,'  according to authorities.
The British Columbia Coroners Service revealed the autopsy results on Tuesday.
It follows claims the star led a 'double life' as a hard-worker when in Los Angeles, and a substance-abuser whenever he would return to his native Canada.

'Double life': Cory Monteith allegedly lived a dual existence as a hard-working actor in Los Angeles and a substance abuser in Vancouver, Canada, pictured in 2009

The BC Coroners Service added that the investigation into his death is continuing, and that no further details were available at this time.
It was noted that at this stage there is still no evidence to suggest that Mr. Monteith's death was 'anything other than a tragic accident'.
Monteith, who checked into rehab in March, managed to stay clean while on the Glee set, but his resolve to stay sober weakened whenever he visited Vancouver, a source told TMZ.
According to sources, Monteith's girlfriend and Glee costar Lea Michele, along with the rest of the hit television show's cast, were aware of his addiction problems and worked hard to keep him clean and sober.

Monteith allegedly never showed up for work under the influence of drugs or alcohol and abstained from these substances 'most of the time.'

But his life in Canada painted a different picture.

Monteith allegedly returned to his hometown of Vancouver often, and surrounded himself with friends who fueled his addiction.

Drugs and alcohol were reportedly 'always involved.'

Monteith's family is said to have been aware that he reverted back to his hard-partying ways in the North American city, but they were unable to help.
His family members reportedly became 'alarmed' recently at his behaviour and tried to come to his aid, but he grew 'distant.'

But another website claims Monteith attended a number of Alcoholic Anonymous meetings shortly before he died.

A source close to the actor told gossip website RadarOnline.com: 'Cory went to AA meetings when he got to Vancouver with some friends of his and mine. They have attended AA meetings in the past together.

'Vancouver is a great place to keep grounded when you are in the spotlight and trying to be sober.'

'Being grounded is the key to sobriety and that's what Vancouver can offer Cory. It is casual and he calls it home and he has friends here who have known him for a long time.'

The insider also insisted that despite being spotted out with friends at the Portside bar in the hours before his death, Cory was not drinking.

Tragic end: Monteith was found dead in his hotel room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver on Saturday night

Monteith was found dead in his hotel room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver on Saturday night.

With the autopsy into his death now underway the British Columbia Coroners Service says toxicology results will not be known for several more days.

However, Sgt Randy Fincham said there was nothing to indicate Monteith's death was due to illicit drug use.

Challenge ahead: Glee producers are allegedly in meetings to discuss how to move forward without Monteith's character Finn Hudson

Meanwhile, FOX officials said it is too soon to say how Monteith's death will be handled on Glee.

According to FOX news, producers are scheduling meetings to discuss how to move forward without his character, Finn Hudson.

Industry experts predict Monteith's death will have a serious effect on the hit show, which was scheduled to start shooting next month.

What break-up blues? Stacy Keibler is sugar and spice and all things nice as she promotes new cooking show

She may have broken up with one of the most eligible men in Hollywood just last week, but Stacy Keibler isn't singing the break-up blues.

Throwing herself into her work following her split with her boyfriend of two years, the stunning blonde was out and about in LA on Monday promoting her new series, Supermarket Superstar.

Confidently taking to the mic and interacting with chefs at a tasting event at SmogShoppe, the model and actress appeared to have taken to her new role with ease.

No sweet tooth here: Stacy Keibler poses with a tray of delicious cupcakes despite revealing she doesn't eat sugar at a food tasting event for her new show, Supermarket Superstar, at LA's the SmogShoppe on Monday

The cooking competition premieres on Lifetime on July 22 and is the first hosting gig for the former WWE wrestler.
While Stacy may have moved on since calling time on her relationship with the 52-year-old, fans of the couple aren't ready to let the matter drop just yet.
Speculation is rife that the sexy 33-year-old ended the relationship due to a lack of action in the romance department stemming from their careers, which sees them spending months apart at a time.

Plenty to smile about: The former WWE wrestler had a smile on her face and a spring in her step as she arrived at the event in LA

Host with the most: The model is eagerly awaiting the premiere of Supermarket Superstar, which will air on Lifetime on July 22

'They hadn't had sex in months,' Us Weekly reports. 'He's been in Europe and she's in LA, and they haven't seen each other in a long time. Some girls would be okay with that and just be happy dating George, but not her.'
Having not been pictured together since March, the rumour mill went into overdrive when the couple spent the Fourth Of July holiday apart.

George was spotted on a yacht in Lake Como, Italy with a group of pals while Stacy posted a pic of herself and a male friend at a party in Malibu, California.

No nerves here: The host was quick to jump on the mic and address the gathered guests at the tasting event

She's a natural: The bubbly blonde looked relaxed and confident as she interacted with the chefs

First linked in July 2011, the couple didn't officially go public with their romance until September 10, when they attended the Toronto International Film Festival together.

Stacy soon became a constant presence in George's life, regularly accompanying him to red-carpet events - including the prestigious Academy Awards.

Things reportedly hit the rocks around March, when a source predicted, 'The end is near. It's a matter of time.'

Opportunity of a lifetime: Supermarket Superstar is the first hosting job for the 33-year-old

It's an optical illusion! Pregnant Jaime King disguises her baby bump in a brightly patterned skin tight dress

Jaime King is almost five months pregnant, but you could hardly tell as she attended an event in Malibu on Saturday.
The Hart of Dixie actress effortless modeled a Lovers + Friends skin tight blue floral dress at the Revolve Beach House Summer Style Day - and her bump hardly showed.
The 34-year-old's blonde hair and skin positively glowed in the bright attire.

Basking in the glow: Pregnant Hart of Dixie actress Jamie King modeled an electric blue patterned dress at the Revolve Clothing Summer of Style party Saturday in Malibu

Holding her own: Jaime modeled dresses with Marta Pozzan, left, and Mad Men's Jessica Pare, right

Although sporting a healthy baby bump, the former Vogue model was able to hold her own with the other stars who modeled at the style show, including Jessica Pare of Mad Men. 
Opting for comfort, Jaime wore a pair of flat sensible white shoes with the outfit instead of some sexy pumps.
Jaime announced in May that she was expecting a child with filmmaker husband Kyle Newman.
She dispelled rumours this month that she was having a girl, saying she does not have a clue as to the baby sex.

Side view: Jaime's pregnancy was more obvious from certain angles

She wrote on Twitter: ‘To all the media outlets printing that we are having a girl, that is false! We don’t know- we want a surprise.’
The actress met her husband eight years ago while she was starring in the film Fanboys, which he directed.   
‘I want at least three children,’ she said when they got married in 2007.
To keep in shape during the pregnancy, she has been taking prenatal yoga and Pilates classes.

XX or XY? Jaime says she doesn't want to know the sex of the baby before the birth

Arrow star Stephen Amell reveals the result of his gym blitz after getting superhero fit to film season two

He plays buff vigilante Oliver Queen, aka the Green Arrow, in CW teen drama Arrow, but it seems Stephen Amell has no superhero powers when it comes to fighting flab.
The 32-year-old reminded fans he's only human as he revealed he enjoyed his hiatus from shooting a little too much; indulging during the holidays just like the rest of us.
Posting before and after photos of his torso on his Facebook page, taken a month apart, it's clear he's put in a lot of work to get back to his optimum best.

Before and after: Stephen Amell goes from buff to beefcake as he begins filming season two of Arrow

'June 13th & July 15th. No filter. It was important to enjoy my hiatus, but the picture on the left can go eff itself,' he captioned the post.
The somewhat modest star later added, 'FYI - I typically laugh at shirtless selfies.'
It's no wonder the actor has been feeling the pressure to trim down, with filming on season two of his hit show currently underway.

Overindulging: The star was reportedly unhappy after letting himself go while vacationing in Monaco in June and promptly hit the gym

Anyone who's seen the series based on the DC Comics books will know - and appreciate - the fact that the star spends a good portion of each episode shirtless.
But it's definitely a case of no pain, no gain for the hunk, who posted, 'One Sunday, 2 training sessions… and I will be asleep by 9:30,' a day earlier.
The newlywed had better get all the sleep he can now, following the announcement last month that his 27-year-old wife, Cassandra Jean, is expecting the couple's first child.
The pair, who originally tied the knot while on holiday in the Caribbean on Christmas Day 2012, made it official on May 26 as they exchanged vows in front of family and friends.

Baby weight: Stephen no doubt used the old 'eating for two' excuse as his wife, Cassandra Jean, is pregnant with their first child

'I thought she was my friend... f*** her': Staunch Scientologist Kirstie Alley posts cryptic tweet as Leah Remini makes dramatic exit from Church

Kirstie Alley is said to be 'livid' with her former friend Leah Remini after she ended her association with the Church Of Scientology last week.
The 62-year-old actress looked unusually downcast as she headed out in LA's Los Feliz over the weekend following the King of Queens star's dramatic exit from the controversial organization.
Scientology journalist Tony Ortega, who was the first to report Leah's defection on July 8 on The Underground Bunker, claims the long-time Scientology devotee spent hours in crisis talks with fellow celebrity Church members on July 10 after Leah made the decision to dissolve her union with the controversial organisation.

Crisis talks? Actress Kirstie Alley was deep in conversation as she walked through Los Feliz over the weekend, following reports she's furious at friend Leah Remini's betrayal

Cryptic tweets: Kirstie posted these messages on July 10

Huge furore: Leah is understood to have left the controversial Church

In a series of no-holds-barred, cryptic tweets posted on July 10, Kristie appeared to slam her friend of 30 years for spreading what she called 'malicious gossip'.

'When faced w malicious gossip I take a moment to experience the loss of the person I thought was my friend... Then I say f*** em..:)' she posted to her more than one million followers.
Six hours later, she followed up with 'the sweetest poison is often served with a smile...beware syrup' as she allegedly arrived at long-time Church member Melinda Brownstone's home for crisis talks.
Melinda was said to have been Leah's oldest and best friend, having met when she first moved to LA at the tender age of 13, however, all members have allegedly been instructed to 'disconnect' from the star immediately.
Former King Of Queens star Leah joined the Church with her mother in the 1970s after relocating to Los Angeles from Brooklyn to pursue her acting dream.

The way they were: Pictured together on an episode of King Of Queens, Kirstie and Leah have known each other for years

Long history: Kirstie has been a very vocal supporter of the Church Of Scientology since discovering the organisation in 1979

Leah reportedly called time on her association following years of interrogation for questioning the whereabouts of leader David Miscavige's wife, Shelly, who hasn't been seen since 2007.
In a statement released to People magazine on July 11, the 43-year-old thanked the public for supporting her decision to cut ties with the controversial church.
'I wish to share my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming positive response I have received from the media, my colleagues, and from fans around the world. I am truly grateful and thankful for all your support.'
Meanwhile, deep in conversation on her phone as she made her way to the Mustard Seed Cafe in Los Feliz on July 13, Kirstie wasn't able to muster a smile as she seemingly had the weight of the world on her shoulders.
The mother-of-two appeared not to have ran a comb through her hair or put on a lick of make-up.

A good distraction: The 62-year-old is currently busy working on a new sitcom, aptly titled Kirstie's New Show, which will premiere in the fall

Kirstie has been a very vocal supporter of the Church of Scientology since she became affiliated with them through a Narconon program that based its techniques on their beliefs and practices in 1979.
She credits the Church with helping her overcome her cocaine addiction.
'To tell you the honest-to-God truth: without Scientology, I would be dead. So, I can personally highly recommend it,' she says
Other famous long-time celebrity Scientology devotees include Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Jenna Elfman and Juliette Lewis.
MailOnline has reached out to Kirstie's spokesperson for comment but is yet to receive a response.

Emergency meeting: A-list members of the Church Of Scientology's Celebrity Centre International in Hollywood allegedly gathered on July 10 to discuss how to deal with Leah's defection

'I keep it simple': Beautiful Jennifer Garner reveals her 'less is more' approach to make up and everyday glamour

She's a busy mother-of-three, so it's unsurprising that Jennifer Garner has little time for make up.
But the 41-year routinely looks incredible, so how does she do it?
'Most days I don’t get around to makeup,' she told the latest edition of Redbook magazine.

Radiant: Jennifer Garner reveals her basic beauty regime in the latest edition of Redbook

'If I do, it’s pretty simple: concealer, blush, mascara and some lipcolor,' the beauty added in the interview which accompanies her stunning cover shoot. 
She then added: 'If I’m really going for it, I might fill in my brows.  Generally speaking, brows are underserved.'
And Jennifer also touched upon the fantastical and dramatic world of the red carpet.
'The red carpet feels like a whole other side of me.  What I wear during the day reflects utility.  The red carpet is really fun,' she revealed.

All the secrets: Reader more about Jennifer's regime in Redbook magazine, available now

Effortless: Garner looked splendiferous in a crimson frock at chat show host Jimmy Kimmel's wedding on Saturday in Ojai, California

'It’s show business, and we’re putting on a show.  A lot of people are involved in the styling and my voice is one of the smaller ones in the mix.'
The Alfie star explained: 'You should hear the conversations {in a dramatic voice] “I think it’s a smoky eye and a simple lip…”  I make fun of everyone for being so invested.'

And she also dished on how she keeps those chestnut locks looking so shiny.

We are family: Perfect looking Jen with Ben Affleck and their daughters Seraphina and Violet, baby Samuel isn't pictured

The 'fun' red carpet: Jen at the Oscars this year with her husband Ben, who won with Argo for Best Picture

She wrote: 'They taught me that letting my hair dry naturally – which is what I do every single day – is good for it…but it’s not always going to look good. 
'Pulling out the blow-dryer and the curling iron really does make a difference.  But to be perfectly honest, I don’t know even know where the hair dryer is in my house.'
But Garner's gold star recommendation is all about the rays, she said:  'Putting on SPF should be like brushing your teeth.'

She can't stop! Miley Cyrus arrives bra-less for GMA appearance... then changes into risqué outfit and flashes engagement ring

Her recent risqué image choices have been causing a stir, but it doesn't look like Miley Cyrus is going to stop her need to shock anytime soon.

The We Can't Stop singer was seen arriving in New York on Monday on her way to Good Morning America wearing a tight-fitting black Chanel dress, and appeared to be without a bra.

Miley's bright red lipstic and trademark blonde buzz cut gave an edgy addition to the otherwise elegant outfit.

The 20-year-old former Disney star then chose a revealing cutout ensemble for her appearance on the show, baring her midriff as she sat alongside Ryan Seacrest and Karl Urban.
The 5'5" singer was seen trying to hide her face at one point with a Honey Boo Boo sign that read 'no way' on it.

However, once on the show Miley appeared to be in a joyous mood and proudly showed off her engagement ring, confirming reports that all is still well between her and fiancee Liam Hemsworth.

Earlier this year, Liam helped fuel the rumour fire that they had split, when he suddenly flew out to Australia to be with his family on March 2.

'Miley is doing it now organically,' he explained about her growing up in the public eye.

'There’s no such thing as "OK, let’s figure out the plan for growing up." It doesn’t work. The public sees through it in two seconds, and every artist who’s tried to do it has failed.'

He added: 'What you see now, this is her. Some artists have it, some don’t have it, in terms of the ability to make that transition. Most don’t, but you can’t plan for it. If you get to that point, you hope it happens. If it does, it does. If it doesn’t, then it wasn’t in the cards.'
