And you thought that the Glee GQ magazine cover was raunchy? You know, the one where Cory Monteith looked like he couldn’t believe his luck, sandwiched between Naughty Schoolgirl (Dianna Agron) and Booty Shorts (Lea Michele)? The Parents Television Council didn’t take too kindly to the spread, natch.

But is Round two due? A behind-the-scenes of the Glee shoot has been released by GQ and if the photo’s got your hormones riled up, then wait till you watch this. They look like they’re having so much fun, just, you know, with multiple changes of lingerie, props and tee-shirt tearing. Photographer Terry Richardson is in heaven (EWWW).

Is it a photo shoot or a lingerie campaign? Watch the video and let us know what you think.

Suddenly GQ’s Glee spread just got kind of creepy again. It turns out that Billy Ray Cyrus is actually a member of the Parents Television Council, the organization that got its suspenders all bunched up over the non-nude photos of some twenty-somethings that appeared in a men’s magazine. And it breaks his achey breaky heart to hear the pics dissed as offensive. Somehow we don’t think the Billy Ray Seal of Approval will help GQ’s argument, but let’s hear him out.

According to TMZ, Cyrus disagrees with the PTC’s accusations that the photos of Lea Michele and Diana Agron are bordering on pedophilia. And we trust him. If anyone knows the fine line between art and pedophilia, it’s this guy. Mr. Miley has grown “disappointed”  and “fed up” with the council’s actions as of late, saying that it “has recently been spending all its time attacking people rather than promoting family television.” “Like Hannah Montana,” he added in his mind.

This isn’t the only rift between him and the PTC. Just recently they criticized his daughter Miley (who actually is underage) for her new “Who Owns My Heart” video. But apparently it wasn’t serious enough to force him to, you know, actually leave the council. Oh well. All we have left to say is: damn you Glee for making us side with Billy Ray Cyrus on something. Savor this moment Billy, because it’s probably the only time your name and “GQ” will ever appear together in print.

Dianna Agron has apologized for that racy Glee GQ cover and photo-shoot on her Tumblr blog. Apparently the actress got tired of crazy parents groups comparing the Glee pics to pedophilia and she finally caved to the criticism… a little. While she apologizes in her post, she makes it clear that she’s gonna live her life how she wants, which seems reasonable to us seeing as the girl is 24-years-old. Writes the pretty blond:

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?

Good point Di. She goes on to declare how she was a kid who had no idea what sex was until she saw Grease (er, okay) and calls out parents on protecting kids from her and Lea Michele‘s exposed skin: “I understand that in today’s 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.”

Again, the woman is correct. Parents, STFU. When we were 8 years old the most popular song around was George Michael‘s “I Want Your Sex.” And guess what – we’re fine. Did we go through a phase were we had 1290180 one night stands set to George Michael’s music*? Sure! But other than that – a-okay! This GQ cover is not going to ruin your kid’s life. Trust us – it’s probably made it a whole lot better.

*Neither of these things are true.

Parents just don’t understand. The powerful watchdog group known as the Parents Television Council is up in arms over the recent photos of Glee stars in GQ. Shot by famed photographer Terry Richardson, the racy shoot depicts Lea Michele and Dianna Agron stripping in a high school, while Cory Monteith hangs out and plays the drums. What do the PTC have against drummers?

The organization issued a statement to TMZ today saying that the spread “borders on pedophilia. By authorizing this kind of near-pornographic display, the creators of the program have established their intentions on the shows direction. And it isn’t good for families.”

This would all be true, were it not for three flaws in their logic. First, last we checked GQ doesn’t really bill itself as a family friendly publication. Also, the high-schoolers are played by actors, all of whom are well above age. Cory Monteith turns 29 in May, while Michele and Agron are both 24. For those of you keeping score, that’s older than the Shannon twins (21), porn star Sasha Grey (22), and this month’s Playboy Playmate, Arianny Celeste (22).

We’ll be the first to admit that Terry Richardson kinda sketches us out. His photos may be a little creepy or unsettling to some, but we’re not sure if that makes them pedophilic. GQ editor-in-chief Jim Nelson responded by telling The Insider that “the Parents Television Control…should learn to divide reality from fantasy. As often happens in Hollywood, these ‘kids’ are in their twenties. Cory Montieth’s almost 30! I think they’re old enough to do what they want.”

What do you think? Do the photos go too far, or is the Parents Television Council over reacting?
