"I was one of the only girls in my high school that didn't get one. And if anybody needed it, I probably did. But my mom always told me, growing up, 'Barbra Streisand didn't get a nose job. You're not getting a nose job.' And I didn't. F*** those people." 
 
 Though Monteith, 28, dropped out of school in the ninth grade, he's not about to suggest that as a smart path. "The last thing I want to do is kind of imply to readers in high school that you too can drop out and be an actor and get on a big show and be famous and make a s***load of money."'Glee' co-creator Ryan Murphy tells the magazine he was skeptical of doing a sugarcoated family show. "I wanted to do my version of a family show. But we try to be as responsible as we can, because we know some young people watch."One of the more surreal moments in the 'Glee'-skyrockets-to-fame story, Michele says, was performing at the White House Easter Egg Roll this past spring. "Rolling down the hills on the lawn, looking up at the snipers on the rooftops. Feeling like, at any moment, you could get shot. It was amazing. I mean, we watched Amber [Riley, 'Glee' costar] sing the national anthem in front of Obama. We were crying." ||||| Michele Bachmann was in South Carolina recently and stopped by a book store to do a signing of her book, Core of Conviction: My Story. While there, she was approached by an 8-year-old boy who shyly shook her hand and spoke quietly. Bachmann was forced to lean in and hear what he said and got quite a shock when she did. The boy was saying “Miss Bachmann, my mommy’s gay but she doesn’t need any fixing.” 
 
 The video of this whole situation has, unsurprisingly, gone viral. However, I’ve got some very mixed feelings about it. 
 
 On the one hand, the views of Michele Bachmann and her ridiculous husband are hateful, ignorant, and should disqualify her from any public office. The very notion of her being President while actively engaging in the in the alienation and disparagement of a large portion of this nation, disgraces the very office of Commander in Chief. The Tea Party may want to go back to the time of our founders but, this isn’t the 1700’s, it’s 2011. That kind of filth doesn’t fly any longer. 
 
 On the other hand, it very much looks like this boy is getting pushed into doing something he doesn’t want to do. The images and quotes from this make it seem like a powerful moment, an innocent child forcing a woman to look at her own evil. But that’s not what I’m getting from the actual video. 
 
 This isn’t spontaneous. The camerawoman (the boy’s second mother presumably) is ready to capture it all and apparently looked suspicious enough that we can hear her explaining herself to someone (security?) as the tape begins. The mother on camera has to prompt the boy twice. The second time, he covers his eyes in embarrassment. He doesn’t look like a crusader. He looks like a kid being forced to thank his aunt for an ugly sweater. He looks like a prop. 
 
 Seeing those images, I wanted this video to be something it wasn’t. And, possibly, something it couldn’t have been. For the boy to truly denounce Bachmann’s views, he would have had to really understand them and, fortunately for him, he’s too young for that hate. 
 
 Whether you agree with the the words the boy’s been scripted to say or not, it’s still a script. And whenever you force a child to get in an uncomfortable position and read from a script, it makes me uncomfortable.

– At least one Glee cast member is apologizing for the racy GQ photo shoot that has the Parents Television Council up in arms. Dianna Agron writes on her blog, “I am sorry. If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention,” but notes that when it comes to pushing the envelope, “we are not the first.” “If your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry,” she continues. “But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?” She also notes that, though these days “kids can be subject to very adult material,” there are “parental locks” and other safeguarding methods. Even so, she acknowledges, “Nobody is perfect, and these photos do not represent who I am.” For more pictures from the controversial shoot, click here.
