Lea Michele, 26, paid tribute to her late boyfriend and Glee co-star Cory Monteith at last night’s Teen Choice Awards. Making her first public appearance since Cory’s death of a drug overdose last month, Michele was honored with the Best Actress: TV Comedy award for her role as Rachel Berry on FOX’s Glee. Michele began her acceptance speech by thanking the fans for their continued support. “I just wanted to be here today to personally thank all of you and to tell everyone out there how much your love and support has meant to me over these past difficult few weeks,” she said. “Thank you. Not that I had any doubt before, but you guys are most certainly the greatest fans in the world.”
Michele then dedicated the award to Cory. “For all of you out there who loved and admired Cory as much as I did, I wanted to promise that with your love, we’re going to get through this together. He was very special to me and also to the world and we were very lucky to witness his incredible talent, his handsome smile and his beautiful, beautiful heart. So, whether you knew him personally or just as Finn Hudson. He reached out and became a part of all of our hearts and that’s where he’ll stay forever. Thank you guys so much.” Following Michele’s speech, an image of Cory was shown on screen for a moment of silence. ~Alfonso Espina
