Lea Michele and Dianna Agron - GQ Magazine US November 2010

Dianna Agron, Cory Monteith and Lea Michele are shown on the cover of GQ magazine's November 2010 issue. The photos are causing quite a stir, and even moved one of the actors to issue an apology.

Glee's Rachel, Quinn & Finn Shocking GQ Magazine Photo Spread

You are looking at one of the supposedly racy photos from GQ Magazine that has some Glee fans in supposed shock mode. There is a picture, or two, of maybe questionable taste, like one where Lea Michele (Rachel) is on a bench in a locker room with her legs up in the air.

The other two Glee people in the pictures are Dianna Agron (Quinn) and Cory Monteith (Finn).

Near as I could tell Cory Monteith does nothing distasteful in the pictures.

Dianna Agron has apologized for her part in this scalding controversy.

Apparently Glee is very popular with 8 and 9 year olds. It is the parents of those pre-teens who objected to the GQ layout. I guess. What 8 or 9 year old reads GQ?

And what parent in their right mind would let an 8 or 9 year old watch Glee?

The most recent new Glee episode, titled Duets, seemed to contain far more scandalous stuff than what I saw in GQ. You had an apparently quite slutty Cherio Cheerleader Glee Singer making whoopy on a bed with another cheerleader who was in dire need of body warmth, something to do with being like a reptile, due to her boyfriend being in the slammer and unable to provide warmth.

Then the slutty Cheerio Cheerleader Glee Singer needed a duet partner. So, she targeted the Glee Singer in the wheelchair. He was having trouble agreeing to the duet, so she picked him up out of the wheelchair and put him on her busy bed, where he asked if he was about to lose her virginity, to which she said, "We're gonna do it and duet."

Those are just two examples of stuff an 8 or 9 year should not be seeing on TV.

Now, the duet between Finn and Rachel and its tastelessness would sail right over an 8 or 9 year old. The other Glee Singers seemed more shocked by it than I was. I likely would not have thought anything of it, had not the fuss been made. Rachel and Finn were attired like a nun and priest, and sang a love song to each other.

In the next episode of Glee the Glee Singers put on a production of Rocky Horror Picture Show. That has all sorts of tastelessness potential. Glee should do HAIR.

Dianna Agron Is 'Sorry' for Racy GQ Glee Photos

Dianna Agron, who posed for GQ's controversial photo shoot, is pointing out that she and costars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith are "not the first" celebrities to get scantily clad for a magazine spread.

"Other public figures and shows . . . have pushed the envelope and challenged the levels of comfort in their viewers and fans," Agron, 24, wrote on her blog.

Still, the actress, who plays Quinn on Fox's hit show, wants to apologize. "In perpetuating the type of images that evoke these kind of emotions, I am sorry," she wrote. "If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention."

But, according to the actress, it's an offended parent's responsibility to make sure their children don't get their hands on something considered risqué.

"If your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry," she wrote. "But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there? . . . There are parental locks and ways to get around this. I am twenty-four years old. I have been a pretty tame and easy-going girl my whole life. Nobody is perfect, and these photos do not represent who I am."

Though the actors in the photos play as high school students on Glee, they are all adults. "As often happens in Hollywood, these 'kids' are in their twenties," GQ Editor-in-Chief Jim Nelson said in a statement to The Insider. "Cory Monteith is almost 30! I think they're old enough to do what they want."
