    I'd love to see just one episode that reflects reality. One of the instrumental parts is not transposed or transposed badly. Someone can't sight read perfectly. Musicians and singers get out of sync. Because that's what happens, even at a professional level.

    The way you guys watch shows about sports writers and newspapers? That's how I watch 'Glee'.

    There's something uncomfortably strange about seeing Lea Michele pose hard as though she's an aspiring teenage slut on MySpace (or Demi Moore). It's as if a Beagle puppy gave you sexy eyes while licking at her nipples or if a bunny wiggled her tail at you while wearing a baby pink lace negligee. It's not right and it's unnatural!

    You know, I'm all for bringing out your inner dirty whore for the cameras, but DAMN! The last time I saw someone trying this hard they were pushing out a kidney stone and it was me! I can't, you can't, we all can't right now.

    Here's a few more pictures of Lea, Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith representing in GQ Magazine (shot by Terry Richardson). Well, I should say that Lea and Dianna are representing. Cory is doing no such thing since he's fully clothed! http://www.dlisted.com/node/39304

    I don't mind her doing it away from the show. It does bug me that they have made the character less of a dork this year. She's dressing better and her hair and makeup are better. The character's insecurity away from the glee club was what made Rachel interesting.

    To be fair though, it is kind of what you'd expect a girl like Rachel to do as she gets older though. If I recall correctly, she went from a sophomore to a junior in the context of the show. If the writers plot things out properly, you'd expect her to show some solid leadership qualities next year, in what would be her senior year.

    While I usually scoff at parents groups complaining about TV shows, I have to say the PTC has point with GQ'S Photo spread (and maybe to a lesser extent the show). Yes they are actors in their 20s, but they are playing high school students and playing up their sexuality does seem kind of creepy in the Chris Hansen in a kitchen kind of way.
    Of course, these groups never complain about the the violence, often portrayed against women, on other shows.

    Oh, please. It's the phoniest "controversy" ever.
    Agron is 24. Michele is 24.
    They're grown-up women. Playing up their sexuality is no creepier for them than it is for the chicks in the Victoria's Secret catalogue.
     
  7. I don't think it has to do with their ages, rather the fact that some of the photos were shot in a high school setting. That being said, it's all about free publicity on both ends.

    I don't know many high-schoolers who read GQ, that's my point. The whole concept of the shoot is aimed at older men fantasizing about boffing some high school girl.

    Wasn't Lea already nude in Spring Awakening on Broadway with the guy who plays her teacher on Glee? KInda makes the whole PTC 'controversy ' pointless

    No, deep, nice try.
    She did not get nude in Spring Awakening. Her co-star wasn't the guy who plays the teacher. It was the guy who played the "traitor" from Vocal Adrenaline. He did show his butt in Spring Awakening.

    "Glee"'s Rachel Berry might not be willing to do nudity to get ahead—but Lea Michele, the actress who plays her, has no such qualms. Yes, Lea went topless for her role in "Spring Awakening—and we've got proof.

    Above, a video clip from Lea's performance. And to think, we could have seen this play on Broadway last year: if only we'd had the foresight to realize it starred the girl we'd be crushing on at the end of '09. How foolish we were!
