Lea Michele, Cory Monteith And Chris Colfer Are Officially Leaving "Glee"

Unless he's trying to bring the scripted world a dose of "Jersey Shore" cast back-and-forth, Ryan Murphy dropped a real bombshell last night:

Three of the biggest stars of "Glee" will leave the show after season three.

The actors in question are Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer -- whom, by our estimate, have probably gotten around 75 percent combined of "Glee" screen time thus far in the show.

It's certainly hard to imagine the series without them -- especially Michele and Colfer.

Though Michele's spotlight has waned in order to accommodate other characters, she is the undeniable anchor of the show -- and arguably its greatest vocal talent.(chris colfer,lea michele)

Colfer, meanwhile, saw a huge spike in screen time over the last season -- and became something of a character ambassador for the show's message of tolerance.

Colfer also won the Golden Globe for best supporting actor in a television series in 2010.

Spinoff speculation is already raging -- and it is true that Murphy made a point of setting up Michele and Colfer's characters to move to New York after high school.
