Glee hottie Cory Monteith is headed to the White House for an Easter performance, but even he doesn't know what he'll be singing for the Obamas just yet.

"I have no idea," he swore to me at Audi's pre-Oscar party last night. "Honestly, truly, I have no idea!"

But the Canadian-born actor (who was gloating about his country's Olympic hockey victory over the U.S.) did say he's on a mission for a photo with the president.

"I'm really stoked to meet the president," he told me. "I wanna get a picture with him—that's pretty much like a green card, isn't it? You get a picture with President Obama and you're in!"

Hmmm...so what'd he have to say about those pictures of him and Taylor Swift getting cozy at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party?

Nada.

"I wouldn't comment on that in the press," he said.

As for whether he's dating anyone at the moment, famous or nonfamous, he had no comment on that either.

Not everyone was as tight-lipped that night. Camilla Belle, who was hosting the Audi bash, did tell me that she's not friends with her ex beau Joe Jonas—who, surprise, surprise, happens to an ex of Swift's. Hollywood's a very small dating pool!
