Glee's Lea Michele Hides Baby Bump While Out Shopping with Beau?

Lea Michele and her “Glee” co-star Cory Monteith expecting their first baby? That question remains to be answered. Lea Michele sparked the baby bump rumors when she spotted out this past Saturday wearing an open denim button down exposing her tummy under a grey t-shirt. The Glee actress also held her black bag slightly over her tummy as she head to Bellacures Nail Salon in Studio City.

As you know in Hollywood, an A-lister cannot have too much to eat, wear loose clothing and strategically cover their midsection with an oversized bag without the pregnancy alarms sounding.

Michele and her Glee co-star Cory just began dating and the actress hasn’t revealed any plans to start a family in the near future – though that hasn’t deterred one or few young Hollywood moms.

The rumors escalated when the couple were spotted out shopping Sunday at a supermarket in Beverly Hills and Lea was seen pushing their full cart of groceries while boyfriend chatted alongside.

In the midst of the baby rumors, Lea recently revealed she’s recording her first studio album. Earlier this week she tweeted,

‘At the studio right now at my first recording session for MY SOLO ALBUM!! I’m so happy and can’t wait for you all to hear this record!”

It will remained to be seen with the actresses Glee fan base will follow her to chart topping success.

*UPDATE*: The question has been answered. Lea’s rep revealed she is not pregnant. The baby bump was likely the girl having a bloated day. “It’s completely false.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
