Gleeksters Lea Michele, Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith grace the November 2010 cover of GQ Magazine and, aside from Lea talking about getting nose job pressure in high school ("F*** those people," she says in the interview), the real scandal involves the sexy photo shoot by photog Terry Richardson...

Either way, the mag will sell a lot of issues and more people will watch Glee! |
