'Glee' Surprises Fans with Sexy GQ Photos, Creator Talks 'Rocky Horror' Remake


Although the members of glee club may be considered typical high school geeks on hit TV show "Glee," the cast members are proving that they certainly don't look the part in their latest GQ photo shoot. The shoot reveals a sexier side of cast members Lea Michele, Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith, with Michele and Agron down to their underwear. If the sexy photos haven't shocked you enough, next week's episode is themed around the cult classic film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" - a move that "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy says may evolve into a project for the big screen. Murphy has been speaking with Fox 2000 about a remake of the 1975 musical, and next week's episode may provide fans with a sneak preview into the making. (GQ, Deadline.com)
