Glee photos in GQ

[MrsK]

Am I the only one feeling a little queezy about these photos?

Disgusting. I couldn't even make it through all of them.

Geez! Who wears socks with heels?

Do you think they had a say in what they were wearing? It sucks that there was such a contrast between the boy and the girls...if they disrobed him more, it wouldn't be as striking...but they shoulda just put more clothes on the girls. I think though that maybe they were told what they had to wear. I never know how much celebrities get a say in what goes into a magazine shoot.

I love the show but I'm a little creeped out by how hyper-sexualized it's been this season. For instance, I don't remember Jacob Ben-Israel's character being so pervy in the first season. It just seems like they are capitalizing on the shock factor and they really don't have to go there.

I think the contrast between the dressed man and undressed women is supposed to represent some male fantasy. I know it's GQ but. . . ick!

Yikes!!!

What strikes me as kind of icky is that in the photos they actually look like mid-to-late twenty somethings posing as sex pot high school students. In the show, when they're acting, I guess it is easier to suspend disbelief and see them as high schoolers, even though, in reality they are about a decade too old.

They're nasty. Tom & Lorenzo actually had a post about it this morning

From what I understand, this particular photographer is known for this style of picture. The Glee producers/PR team should have put a stop to it. I totally get that Leah Michele doesn't want to be typecast as the awkward teenage girl, but that doesn't mean you go all the way to porn star.

If they were going for sexy, the missed the mark. It is trashy.

This is the photographer's portfolio on his website. Eww. http://www.terryrichardson.com/

I didnt know who the photog was either, so I googled him....the sexual abuse allegations on wikipedia are enough that I'd never pose for him. He doesn't even deny them. Bad choice by the shows PR rep.

[Michele]

Dude, he has half nude pics of his 80something yo mom on his site!

[HouseofWool]

icky all the way around!

Again I say, "yikes". I can't believe that Obama's people won't get his picture off that site ASAP.

When I was getting ready to click the link I was thinking, they can't be that bad. They are! Holy ..... I mean they are posing as high school students in a bad porn video. I can't believe they thought that was OK. That was beyond trashy.

I doubt they can, although I'm sure they hate it's there. I assumed (and google confirmed) that the shoot was done early-ish in the campaign (9/2007). It would probably cause more controversy if they tried to get it taken down, since I don't imagine that awful website is frequently surfed by voters. I think whichever PR person suggested Obama work with that guy at all is a moron.

I woukd like some bleach for my eyes, please. I wish I hadn't gone to his site - that stuff is nasty.
