They did WHAT!- "Glee Gone Wild!"



















The cast of Glee was featured in GQ's magazine, and the sexy pictures shot by well known photographer Terry Richardson has received a lot of attention. But is this good attention?
The Parents Television Council had something to say about the pictures and well, lets just say it wasn't too good. They released this statement about the GQ cover.

GQ’s sexy Glee cover has gone too far, The Parents Television Council says. In a statement released Wednesday, the group slams the November issue, which features Cory Monteith, 28, Dianna Agron and Lea Michele, both 24 — all of whom play highschoolers on the hit Fox show — wearing hardly any clothing.
“It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on Glee in this way. It borders on pedophilia,” the statement reads.
“By authorizing this kind of near-pornographic display, the creators of the program have established their intentions on the show’s direction,” the statement concludes. “And it isn’t good for families.”
Even the Glee stars are surprised by the GQ shoot, titled “Glee Gone Wild!”
“I don’t know how they got me to do half the stuff I did” for the GQ shoot, said Michele. “But I was in really good shape this summer, so…”
Said Agron: “I’ve never been shot in so little clothing.”
GQ has yet to comment.

You know what time it is!
 It's time for The A-List Consultation:

I never thought I would see the cast of one of my favorite shows almost naked on the front a GQ magazine. Yes I admit that I enjoy watching the show. But lets get to the point.
Although all three actors Cory, Lea and Dianna are all adults,this is distasteful based on the show that they represent. I definitely agree with what the PTC had to say about the situation. These photos went too far by showing too much skin of the actresses. This is a big "no no" when you are not only representing a show but when you are also representing yourself. These actors have to remember who their audience is and how they are perceived to that audience. Children look up to these actors and look to them as role models. This is inappropriate for these adult actors to be in a high school setting shooting provocative pictures. The Glee cast gets a D- for this move. Instead of promoting the show, the only thing that these pictures did was send out a horrible message to the youth. I think the shows PR department has a lot of cleaning up to do.
