Glee On Cover Of Rolling Stone: Disappointing & Frustrating
Glee’s Lea Michele (Rachel), Dianna Argon (Quinn), Cory Monteith (Finn), Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester), and Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester) all appear on the cover of the April issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
What they are doing on the cover of THAT magazine is anyone’s guess but any Glee press is welcomed by Gleeks.
The photograph, taken by Mark Seliger, is reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting. Land of Punt thinks the image’s composition is a direct copy of a No-Rock although we couldn’t find the painting on the internet.
The fact that we brought up No-Rock tells you where we’re going with this article. To put it as succinctly as possible, LOP is disappointed in Glee’s Rolling Stone cover.
Why does Michele have to show her off her bum? Yes, it’s not a nice bum, but does everything have to devolve into titillation?
If you retake the picture without the wire in Michele’s skirt, you have a nice little snapshot. As it sits now, your eye is immediately drawn to her posterior. No matter how hard you try you can’t away; you can’t stop thinking about spanking it, biting it, and calling it names in Spanish. Both Michele and “Rachel” deserve better.
In today’s standards the cover is extremely tame but can’t it be 100% tame?
No it can’t because Rolling Stone is in business to sell magazines. And they think in order to move large quantities of ‘zines they need to “sex” everything up.
So why stop at Michele’s backside? Why not show everyone’s backside? Why not strip the cast down and put them in pool of butterscotch pudding? Why not deck them out in leather and latex bondage gear? Or worse yet, why not dress them up like a women’s field hockey team.
To add to LOP’s frustrations, Rolling Stone promotes the cover story thusly:
Rolling Stone’s Erik Hedegaard ventures into the Fox hit’s most controversial corners, uncovering the stories behind stolen car stereos, illegal substances, Facebook-revenge fantasies
Smarmy. Snarky. Sleazy. And very disappointing.

I took the cover as being that glee and the cast are wholesome 50′s pretty much but have a little edge to them as well. Sot eh pantie shot is the jarring image that isn’t as pure as it seems on the outside.
That being said I like the photo but it was unnecessary.
No on is mentioning this but Dianna is a bit cheeky too.
“No it can’t because Rolling Stones is in business to sell magazines” – You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. It is Rolling Stone magazine, not the Rolling Stones band. Lea Michele is hot. Sorry.
Yeah, you’re so right and that wasn’t a typo. Because after referencing the magazine as “Rolling Stone” four times we all of sudden decided to bring the rock band into the discussion. Congratulations, you figured us out. Nothing gets by your genius.
I agree with the article. For Glee the photo is inappropriate. For other shows it would be okay, but not for Glee.
