"Glee" cast members' photos in GQ create controversy

From MediaLife Magazine:
"Glee" actress Dianna Agron has apologized to anyone who was offended by the racy photo shoot she took part in for GQ magazine, although she also said it's not her fault if your 8-year-old child saw said photo shoot. On her blog Agron wrote, "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." Agron and co-stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith raised eyebrows last week when GQ released an issue that features Agron and Michele in revealing clothing.
