The boyfriend of Glee star Becca Tobin, who plays Kitty Wilde on the Fox series, was found dead in a Philadelphia hotel room [1]. The body of Matt Bendik, a club promoter based in LA, was discovered on Thursday afternoon. Becca was reportedly with Matt when they arrived in Philadelphia for a business trip, but no further details about Matt's death have been given. Everything appeared to be going normally for the couple, with Matt sharing a shot of Becca on Instagram for Woman Crush Wednesday [2] just one day before he passed away.
This has been a particularly dramatic month of news for Glee fans. Fox announced on Thursday that they would be shortening the show's final season to 13 episodes [3]. Stars Lea Michele [4] and Chris Colfer were also in the news after their Twitter accounts were both mysteriously hacked [5] last week. The hacker tweeted out shocking news about the actors, including false claims that Chris was leaving Glee before the final season and that Lea was pregnant.
