I understand I’m way behind the curve on this one, and it’s all probably completely swept under the rug by now, but I forgot to post this on Friday and it all needs to be talked about. Apparently there is a ton of hoopla surrounding the new “sexy” photoshoot for GQ featuring Lea “nose” Michele and Dianna “voice of a generation” Agron. The controversy, as everyone knows (“nose” in Lea’s case… because I’m cheap), surrounds these two girls, both in their twenties, posing “sexually” in a high school setting. Oh, and then there is that weird guy with the bad voice who’s legit in his 80s who plays Rachel’s boyfriend on the show and who’s name I can never remember. He’s in the little shoot too. Bless his heart.
First thing’s first, I really think Dianna Agron has nothing to do with this. Frankly, she should just stay out of it. She deserves none of the attention. My saying this has nothing to do with my personal distaste for her as an actress during season one. My saying this has everything to do with the fact that she is pretty much fully clothed in all of the pictures and barely acting sexy at all.
Now we ALL know who should be catching the blame here, no doubt the mastermind behind this whole shoot… that’s right, I’m talking about Lea Michele. She’s the culprit. She clearly begged to do this shoot. In her defense, she's had the toughest time keeping her clothes on ever since her brush with nudity in SPRING AWAKENING. I bet it was supposed to be this lovely, wholesome photo shoot that all went terribly awry when Lea showed up to the set in a bra and panties. Everyone probably kept asking her to put her skirt on and she would be all, “NO! BARBRA STRIESAND WOULDN’T DO IT AND NEITHER WILL I! I’M A STAR!!” Then she started belting the end of “Don’t Rain on my Parade” and her head began to spin and she projectile vomited split pea soup everywhere (no ham, she’s apparently vegan), and everyone just finally stopped asking her to do things because you know she just doesn’t listen to anyone. Thus the sexy photo shoot. Lucky for Lea, it’s attracting so much media attention, so she must be very happy.
Apparently tons of people are up in arms over this photo shoot and I don’t quite understand why. I feel like it’s a celebrity right of passage to do a sexy photo shoot to solidify your star power. I just don’t see what the big deal is. I guess the issue is that GLEE is targeted towards teens and teenagers who are going to see this particular spread and start acting…um…sexy? I’m sorry, most teenagers are acting a lot worse than what these pictures suggest. I mean obviously if Lea totally had her way they would be doing body shots off her stomach (or out of her nostrils…ugh I’m sorry). But in the end she realized that this type of behavior is just a little too pre-teen. If there is one place Lea truly knows her place, it is in the pre-teen world, and that even she cannot compete with America’s youngest hair-whipping prince/ess, Willow Smith.
In other news, seriously though, good for GQ. It’s a great magazine and deserves this type of exposure, whether or not it’s because of GLEE. In the end everyone will forget all about this shoot, most likely by sometime this week, if not already, and things will go back to normal. GLEE will go back to being a mediocre cash cow that was at one point a promising show with the occasional brilliant episode (the faith one a couple of weeks ago was my absolute favorite episode ever, airing the week after the Britney episode which was just… man was that awful), and Lea Michele will continue on her destructive tornado path to world domination, culminating, of course in a terrifying, fiery end to the world as we know it.
JETZ SCALE: 2 JETS – LUKEWARM JETZ THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH HOTTER TO GET THIS TYPE OF ATTENTION. LEA - YOU KNOW [NOSE] BETTER.
