A teen Glee fan has told of her shock after she gave star Corey Monteith a letter with her idea for a talk show - only to later see an exact copy of it on the series.
Teresa Musumeci went to see the Glee Live show on stage in New York last May, with the mission of meeting some of the actors.
Worried about being too nervous to talk if she did run into Monteith, her favourite, she wrote him a letter.
Teresa Musumeci went to see the Glee Live show on stage in New York last May, with the mission of meeting some of the actors.
Worried about being too nervous to talk if she did run into Monteith, her favourite, she wrote him a letter.
In it she spoke about her idea for a You Tube spoof talk show called Fondue For Two, in which she would interview people over a fondue.
As they waited by the stage door at Radio City Hall, she handed a security guard the letter and asked him to deliver it to the star.
To her delight, eventually the actor came out to signed an autograph - and even thanked her for the letter.
'He told me he got the letter and he loved it,' the 'Gleek' said.
But she was left in shock a year later when she heard that the idea had been used by the show, without anyone telling her.
The cast and producers liked the concept so much they created a mock web talk show called Fondue For Two hosted by cheerleader Brittany, played by Heather Morris.
It was even used for the opening of one of the show's episodes in the second season, setting up the theme of gossip.
In the clip, Brittany says: 'It combines the two things I love the most - hot cheese and talking to people.'
The actress even told a TV show the idea had come from a fan.
'She is doing this talk show and it all came from this idea that this girl that sent this letter to Corey Monteith,' Morris said, speaking of her character.
Teresa said she was 'freaking out' when she heard about it, but was pleased - except for the lack of acknowledgement.
And she said she would not be looking for any compensation.
'I would love a little recognition,' the Florida teen told WSVN News. 'I don't want to get them in trouble. I love the show and I wouldn't want to do anything more.'
When told about the situation, the show's producers sent her a signed picture and a script .
Teresa was thrilled. 'This is so cool, I need to frame this,' she said. 'I'm very happy, this is really cool. No one else has this, it's a one of a kind.'
She added: 'It's nice to see that they read their fan mail and it's kinda cool they used my idea.'
