Behind the Scenes Video of the GQ 'Glee' Photoshoot

GQ has released a behind the scenes video of the famous Glee photoshoot that attracted so much attention.

The clip shows Lea Michele, Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith wearing little clothing, (on the ladies' part) and hamming it up for the cameras.  The photographer was Terry Richardson in what looks to be a high school.

Clothes are ripped, hair is tossed, paper airplanes were tossed-- it was like Fast Times and Ridgemont High.  The video also features some setups that were never seen in the final photos.

Dancing With the Stars Results: The Clock Runs out on Kurt

A big results show tonight and I don't have a clue as to is leaving. Brandy looks safe with almost perfect performances last night. Jennifer should be safe as well, and we appear to be heading to a Brandy/Jennifer final two.

Any of the remaining three could go home. Kyle dazzled the crowd and viewers with his instant dance. Bristol was elegant and hit all her moves in both dances. That leaves us with Kurt and I feel if he doesn't get a ton of fan votes he may be out.

As a bonus we got to see Kyle and Lacey's instant dance again. It was better the second time and is just a great routine. They received a 29 for it and it deserved a 30.

On to the results. They take each couple one by one this week, and Kyle and Lacey are safe.

Once again they bring Kenny Mayne and Jerry Rice back for Dance Center. They analyze the competitors like only they can.

The first musical guest of the evening is Taio Cruz. Some great music for the pro dancers.

Next guest is John Legend and The Roots. More great dance music.

Now up are Jennifer and Derek and Kurt and Anna. Jennifer is safe, and Kurt to nobody's surprise was put in jeopardy.

Our final two couples waiting to learn their fate are Brandy and Maks and Bristol and Mark. Maks is still upset over comments from Carrie Ann last night. The next couple safe is Bristol and Mark. Brandy and Maks are in jeopardy.  Bristol must be pulling in a ton of fan votes.  I guess those Republicans are still voting.

Down to two couples.  Kurt and Anna and Brandy and Maks.  Kurt Warner is eliminated.  But a good job by Kurt.  A standing O for Kurt.

Dancing With the Stars: Final 5 Will be an "Instant" Classic

It's down to the final 5 tonight on Dancing With the Stars.  The competition will be as fierce as ever tonight, as the couples will have to do an "Instant Dance", a routine they will find out about at the last minute.

This should favor the best dancers, and those that were prepared best by their pro dancer teammate.

Two rounds tonight. A classic ballroom round, then the surprise dance. I don't know if these teams are the best five teams, but they are surely the most popular.

Kyle and Lacey were first up with a waltz. Kyle has been working extremely hard to get to this point. I'm impressed with the fact that he is improving each and every week. The couple delivered a good waltz and Kyle keeps showing he is serious about this competition. They get a 27 out of 30. For their instant dance, they get 'Good Golly, Miss Molly."

Jennifer and Derek are up next. Jennifer's body has taking a beating over the past number of weeks. She's trying her best to stay positive and healthy as they move ahead. They performed a quickstep. Jennifer came through with a nice routine. They get a 27 as well. Their song will be Foreigner's "Waiting For a Girl Like You."

I'm always anxious to see Kurt and Anna. Kurt loves the competition and he loved to audible on the football field. I expect him to get through his instant dance tonight with ease. They too did a waltz as their ballroom dance. Kurt did a nice dance. Some technical problems, but he seems to love dancing. Kurt gets 24, and their music for the instant dance is "Hella Good."

Bristol Palin and Mark have been working hard. The fans are really on Bristol's side as she gets the lowest marks in competition, but keeps advancing. They get to do an Argentine tango this week. Even though Len said the dance lacked intensity, I beg to differ. I think Bristol showed her stuff this week. Intense, provocative, and naughty are a good description of her dance. She gets a 24. And her instant song is "Mas Que Nada."

Brandy has owned the competition the last few weeks, can she keep it up? Brandy and Maks know that nobody is safe, they have to be their best each week. A nice slow waltz, quite a moving experience. Brandy and Maks get a 29. Their instant dance music selection is "Teenage Dream."

Now on with the instant dances. The couples have only had about 30 minutes to prepare these routines.

Here's Kyle and Lacey first. They kept up with the music and did a spirited routine. Kyle actually burned up the floor. Lots of tricks and fun moves here. Bruno thought it was entertaining and fun. They get a 29 out of 30.

Next on is Jennifer and Derek. They get to do the Rumba. This right up Derek's alley. He's the best at setting up these dances, and on short notice he will have Jennifer prepared. They dance to Foreigner, even though they never heard of them before. Figure that. Another great routine. The judges loved it. Jennifer gets a well deserved 30.

Kurt and Anna need a good score here. They dance the Cha-cha-cha. I don't know if they matched up with the music as well as the previous teams. Kurt nailed his moves, and danced with confidence. They get a 24.

This is a big dance for Bristol. I think she needs to outscore Kurt to stay on the show. Bristol and Mark get to do a Samba. This is a tough dance to do without much practice. They get a 23.

Last tonight is Brandy and Maks. They will try and repeat their first dance of the evening. Not a perfect dance, but good.  Carrie Ann didn't like Maks'slow starting routine and they exchanged words.   They get a 28.  They tie for the lead tonight with a 57 total.

Now it's up to the fan's voting.

'The Amazing Race' Joins the Circus

The Amazing Race teams remain in St. Petersburg, Russia and are forced to join the circus. 

The teams learn how to entertain by clowning around in the circus. Contestants dressed as clowns will learn the art of balancing a spinning dish on a pole and playing the accordion. In the road block Michael participates in a Russian past time of throwing clubs to knock down a stack of logs and discovers it's harder than it looks. One team realizes that it's game on when other teams are less than honest with them.

The show is doing a great job this time around in Russia.

On a side note, CBS announced that The Amazing Race will return for its spring season in High Definition. In a statement released by CBS, Executive Producer and co-Creator Bertram van Munster announced that audiences would watch Season 18 teams racing around the globe each week framed by landscapes made even more breathtaking through the use of high definition.
