You shouldn't blame the show's creators for the entirety of that - I heard that they were going to have John Stamos' character as Frank-N-Furter, but that Fox got skittish and wouldn't allow it. I'm sure some of this will be written into the story for the episode; it's not like any real high school in Lima, Ohio would be able to perform a non-bowdlerized version of Rocky Horror.

Thank you. Lea doesn't seem to mind showing off, too bad Diana Agron doesnt show off more. Still damn hot.Phoenix's Rage said:

then they shouldn't have considered it in the first place. just try a less risque musical -- like Rent, or Wicked, or something else that's more palatable for Fox.Father_Brain said:

oh brother, GQ photoshoot backlash?
It honestly never even crossed my mind what the prudes would think about this. The article writer acts like the Glee "kids" are actual kids or something. :lol

Which is strange for a show that's never afraid of gay issues. Makes my head spin.
Ceres said:
but the gay issues they deal with are not fantasy sequences and if you're implying they are I wouldn't want to be you (like two of their female cast making out on a bed in the last episode).
Edit: I see your point. The two females wouldn't be making out in a highschool play either but this is still VERY LAME.

Then they shouldn't have chosen Rocky Horror, which is very risque.Ceres said:

Me personally, I would rather have a censored Rocky Horror than no Rocky Horror. I love the beginning of the movie so much (don't hate me but I'm not a big fan of the end) so I'm looking forward to it.

In my HS, we performed 3 number from RHPS is full costume for an air-band contest.
No censoring occurred, though a couple performers required alcohol to go on stage in gull gear. :lol
(I was Riff, so no problems for me.)

Time Warp
(in that order-- and including the dialogue after I'm Going Home-- so that we're basically dancing the Time Warp to celebrate killing Frank. So wrong.)
We didn't exactly get permission ahead of time, and I don't think the teachers really knew what we had in mind. I don't think any of them knew what RHPS was really about (this was 84 or 85 or so). We also sorta cheated by taking songs that ran together and counting them as one.
We didn't win, but I think we were the most memorable act, by far! Boys in drag, girls in (rather conservative compared to the movie, but still) corsets, and one guy in golden bikini bottoms and nothing else.
Now I need to dig out my yearbook and scan a pic. We were also the Yearbook nerds so over-represented ourselves therein.

Stamos's version of "Sweet Transvestite" before Fox decided a man in drag singing a song about being from Transsexual, Transylvania was inappropriate. Give me a fucking break.
And reading more and more across so many sites about how poor the taste is on the GQ shoot. This is the first time I think I have found the press question these things just because the actors portray high schoolers on a show. They are in their mid 20s for crying out loud. There are plenty of actresses that pose for covers like this that are well past legal drinking age and play teenagers, but pose provocatively and never get this much flack for it. Is it only because the show is popular?

According to the yt comments that's not the Stamos version.
Either way, total bummer cause Stamos as Frank would have been HOTT.

EW had an article about how he was supposed to do it, and they even recorded it. Some sites say that video is the Stamos one, some say it isn't. But at least Stamos confirms he recorded something.

What did they say about the Santana sucking neck with Brittany? I know it's not the same but I find those images not disturbing but a photoshoot with the Real people not their character, in typical clothing for a typical photoshoot that the photographer decided.Wickerman said:

That Stamos (?) version *almost* has a certain charm in its scenery-chewing. But it goes over the line into "terrible" too often, and the attempt at mimicking Curry's vocal quirks is horrible.
DMPrince said:
In typical clothing for a typical photo shoot? I laugh at the controversy as well over this but they are clearly in their character's clothing in a high school setting to draw comparison's to the show. Now whether that was the director of the shoot's idea or their own (which, again, they always have the choice of objecting to as well but they went along with) is the issue. Just playing devil's advocate.
Glee's Dianna Agron Responds To Haters Of Her GQ Spread
If more girls in this industry had as much maturity as this one, we'd be out of a job!
This week, people became outraged by the scandalous Glee spread in next month's GQ. Haters were appalled by the over-sexualized images of Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Dianna Agron. The latter decided she wasn't just going to let people think the worst of her. She took to the internet to explain herself and the photo shoot and she does so with more elaquancy then you hear from most other girls her age.
On her Tumblr, she writes:
"Id like to start by saying that these are solely my thoughts on the November issue of GQ and the controversy that has surrounded its release. I am not a representative of the three of us, the show, or Fox, only myself.
In the land of Madonna, Britney, Miley, Gossip Girl, other public figures and shows that have pushed the envelope and challenged the levels of comfort in their viewers and fans we are not the first. Now, in perpetuating the type of images that evoke these kind of emotions, I am sorry. If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?
I was a very sheltered child, and was not aware of anything provocative or risque in the media while I was navigating through my formative years. When I was finally allowed to watch a movie like Grease, I did not even understand what on earth Rizzo was talking about!? I understand that in todays world of advanced technology, the internet, our kids can be subject to very adult material at the click of a button. But 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. I am also not the girl who rolls out of bed with flawless makeup and couture clothing. I am most comfortable with my hair thrown on top of my head, in sweats, laughing with my friends. Glee is a show that represents the underdogs, which is a feeling I have embraced much of my own life, and to those viewers, the photos in GQ dont give them that same feeling. I understand completely.
For GQ, they asked us to play very heightened versions of our school characters. A Hit Me Baby One More Time version. At the time, it wasnt my favorite idea, but I did not walk away. I must say, I am trying to live my life with a sharpie marker approach. You cant erase the strokes youve made, but each step, is much bolder and more deliberate. Im moving forward from this one, and after today, putting it to rest. I am only myself, I can only be me. These arent photos I am going to frame and put on my desk, but hey, nor are any of the photos I take for magazines. Those are all characters weve played for this crazy job, one that I love and am so fortunate to have, each and every day. If you asked me for my dream photo shoot, Id be in a treehouse, in a wild costume, war-paint and Id be playing with my pet dragon. Until then .."
Someone give this girl a pet dragon, NOW! Hell, someone give her two!
We think this was the best way of handling the situation - apologizing to the people who are upset, but no apologizing for being part of the Hollywood machine.
Any comments from you, Lea? Maybe even Cory? We're all ears!

GQ Editor-In-Chief Responds To Glee Photo Controversy!
We cannot believe that this has become as big a deal as it is!
Now that the Parents Television Council has essentially lost their shiz over the recent Glee photoshoot for GQ for what they claim is bordering "on pedophilia," and "sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on 'Glee' in this way," the magazine's editor-in-chief Jim Nelson has responded, and he's - rightfully - pretty baffled!
He explains:
"The Parents Television Council must not be watching much TV these days and should learn to divide reality from fantasy. As often happens in Hollywood, these 'kids' are in their twenties. Cory Monteith is almost 30! I think they're old enough to do what they want."
Exactly! We don't get it.
They could have been photographed completely naked and it still would be okay, because they're ADULTS. And how is it a new concept for actors who play high school students on TV to be sexualized?
And finally, has the PTC actually WATCHED Glee? It gets away with some pretty racy shiz!
Just because the characters sing popular songs and dance around doesn't make it a kid's show, people! Time for a reality check!
What do U think?? Is the GQ controversy justified??

John Stamos singing
was supposedly just leaked. Quick google search finds it. Beware though, it's on that travesty of a site. :lol
Here ya go.
Edit: I'd love it if we could have the alternate version on the DVD release but I'm sure it would require too much extra filming for a character change.

The View talks about the GQ spread (video at the link):
http://perezhilton.com/2010-10-22-the-view-comments-on-glee-gq-photos
What I'm most shocked about was the last statement in this clip. This woman did a ABC show with another actress who was 35 but playing a 15 yr old. How does that even work?:lol Yes, Cory is almost 30 but he is not playing 15 and even he looks his real age (late 20's).
Also, I didn't think about it in this way that GQ is not in shrink wrap like Playboy and can be easily viewed by minors. It's a good point I hadn't thought of but not good enough to not still think this whole controversy is silly.

very very tame by Terry Richardson standards. He is hated by some fashion people so I wonder if they're using this situation to give him a blacker eye, not undeserved of course.
Quinn looks amazing though. Rachel got all the sexy shots however. Not a great photoshoot though. No reason why anyone should be up in arms.
