I don’t get what the problem is. I live in a very prudish part of Calif and the supermarkets put Cosmo in the back, covered by other magazines. They also have a board they use to cover magazines that they feel are ‘inappropriate’. Of course, every kid who passes the covered magazine has to get a peek. They probably wouldn’t notice it without the silly board. Ms. Michelle is a grown up with a career that requires a certain amount of cheesecake. If anyone is surprised or offended by this, well, what world are they living in? LM isn’t Mr. Rogers or Joe on Blue’s Clues. She’s on a show that has my nine year old frequetly hide his eyes. If he wasn’t so in love with the music, we probably wouldn’t watch.
Glee is not for children or tweens. It’s for teens and adults. My 12 year old boy knows a few of the songs from us downloading the music and letting him watch the age-appropriate music videos on you tube. Parents are the ones who are responsible in this situation – not the actress.
It’s something from Faux News anyway, no point to believing it’s real.
If you’re concerned about your young kids, “Glee” itself is much more objectionable than that magazine cover. I mean, seriously. It’s pretty silly that any parent would let their tween watch Glee but then flip out over this.
funny how the much larger headlines like “Get Naked,” “The Sex Quiz,” and “For His Thighs Only” didn’t cause a stir…
Her “naughty secrets” were kinda lame anyway. Regardless of who it is, the cover girl’s interview rarely if ever lives up to the “scandalous” tagline.
First – Though Glee is set in high-school, it really isn’t meant for teenage audiences. Hello? Cheerleaders are making out together – you let your 12 year old boy watch THAT, but he’s “confused and offended” by that tame cover? RIGHT. And second…Cosmo is covered at the grocery store check-out lane. So unless dear old Mom bought the mag, he wouldn’t have had a chance to be “offended”.
I don’t get the uproar. It’s not like Miley Cyrus, who was for a long time associated solely with projects aimed at a younger audience. Glee is not necessarily a kid-friendly show, with its sometimes racy dialogue and subject matter. (I’m not a prude, I’m just saying that Glee is a bit more adult than Disney or Nickelodeon.) And really, Mom? Apparently your 12-year-old has never seen a girl in a bikini. Let’s get real. Aren’t there far more worthy things to get all bent out of shape over?
I’m a huge fan of Glee … it think it sends positive messages about being unique, about allowing everyone to be themselves and to be proud of your differences. I think it also shows that the arts can be fun and I feel it is a great booster of HS show choir, choir, and dramatic programs. That being said – I sure as heck don’t let my 8 year old watch it. She can listen to the CDs all she wants, but there’s no way she watch the show now, or at age 11. The subject matter is high school, particularly concerning the sexual relationships on the show. I don’t think the Cosmo cover is “inappropriate” to Michele (a grown adult woman) or her character (an upperclass teenage girl)- but I really think allowing your 12 year old to watch the show is _if_ it results in this type of confusion. I know I would not feel it is appropriate for my child – and I’m not syaing you can’t allow your child, that’s your perogative – but if it brings up feelings of confusion, maybe it’s time for a step back.
And for those of you who say “That kind of cover is inappropriate for public consumption” or that “Back in my day, no woman showed that kind of cleavage in the media”, let us all remember one of the most iconic images plastered over young boys walls across America in the 70s – Farrah Fawcett in a bikini.
She wasn’t in a bikini. It was a red one piece. And no one who is alive would say “back in my day”… Do some fact checking.
Farrah was in a red one piece. And no one who is alive would say “back in my day…” . Do some fact checking.
Did my fact checking … my bad … I remembered it wrong. Thank you to those who pointed it out.
it’s not a little black dress. it’s a bathing suit by Oscar de la Renta.
Dang that Rachel Berry. If only she would comport herself like a real star does. You know…good old Hanny Montanny wearing only a sheet and a smile. Or using a 50 yr. old as a pole while she dirty dances. Or maybe just hang out with her friends and the trusty bong. Or maybe she could become a sparkly vampire and then the youth of the world would be safe from Rachel destroying the innocence of 12 year olds reading Cosmo one magazine cover at a time.
More EW Glee coverage.
I compare Lea Michele’s antics to the great Kurt/Blaine cover on EW. Kurt and Blaine looked their ages. Lea is trying to act like an old desperate cougar who can’t stop showing her goodies. It’s sad, not sexy. She’s too young to look that desperate.
You know she’s 24 right? Just asking.
You know she showed her goodies on Broadway 8 shows a week when she was 20-21?
Not only did you make two super-cute, mischievous litlte baby girls, but you gave them a band name! Or the name for their vintage shop, cosmetics line, pretty-much-whatever-they-want-to-do-with-their-lives Bumblebee Girls! I love it so much.
Right, because Glee is “G rated”. Parents need to get a clue. Cosmo is for ages 18 and up. Also, other than the fact that the picture is photoshopped, it is not like she is going spread eagle on the cover. Geez!
I’m conservative, but I don’t know what the big deal is. Yeah, Lea does have “tween” fans from the show. But she also has adult fans – like myself – who love her from the show and her Broadway career. This photoshoot (and the admittedly tasteless GQ one) are for adults. If parents think it’s okay for their kids to be looking at GQ or Cosmo, then they get what’s coming to them. Don’t let your child have free reign of the internet. Don’t let your kids pick up whatever they want. The problem here is the parents having no control over what their children read or click on, not Lea Michele’s career choice.
EXACTLY!
i love this song too now but for different reasnos the great Peter Mak introduced us to this song last FEC as the song that he played every time he started to hit walls building the business it was the song that propelled him to Diamond.
