In a new Flaunt magazine spread, -n rocks heavy makeup, lingerie and a Gaga-esque hat that are worlds away from Quinn Fabray, the prim (though sexually active) teenager she plays on FOX’s “Glee.”

Agron talks in the - about what it’s like being part of the “Glee” phenom and her decision to chop off her blond locks in May.

“It’s almost like putting on the glasses and all of a sudden you’re smarter,” said Agron, who sold her first screenplay before coming to Hollywood and recently directed a music video. “It’s a very interesting and lovely observation that I keep having of how people treat me now that my hair’s different.”

And, despite some recent dischord from the “Glee” family and the punishing “Glee Live” concert schedule, the 25-year-old actress says she’s the happiest she’s ever been.

“Ever. High school, middle school — I’ve loved every part of getting older and growing, but I definitely think that this is the most I’ve ever felt like myself and that I’m being treated like who I feel I am.”

The last known image of Billy the Kid sold at a Denver auction on Sunday (June 26) for .3 million dollars. (For anyone keeping count, that’s exactly half the amount Marilyn Monroe’s famous “subway dress” sold for earlier this month.)

An infamous Old West outlaw, Billy the Kid — aka William Henry McCarty — is believed to have killed between eight and 22 people during his career of crime. He was relatively unknown during his lifetime until the governor of New Mexico placed a price on his head. But, like many Old West figures, many of the Kid’s exploits were exaggerated.

Billy the Kid reportedly died in 1881 at the hands of sheriff Pat Garrett.

In 2010, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson considered a posthumous pardon for McCarty, but decided against it because of “historical ambiguity.”

Auctioneers estimated that the image would bring in about 0,000, - to ABC News. But the buyer — private collector William Koch — was willing to pay more than million for the image.

“I love the Old West,” Koch tells the Denver Post. “I plan on enjoying it and discreetly sharing it. I think I’ll display it in a few small museums.”

-‘s reps haven’t backed off their insistence that - that hit the web this week are fake. But it sounds like she’s also going to defuse the story with humor.

The - and - star is scheduled to be a presenter at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday (June 5), and she plans to “poke fun” at the scandal during her time on stage.

MTV isn’t commenting on her appearance, but a source - Celebuzz that “They’re working on a moment in the show where she’d make fun of it.”

The MTV Movie Awards air at 9 p.m. ET Sunday. What do you think about the idea of Lively making fun of the scandal? Can she do that and still insist the pics aren’t real?

Best. Prank. Ever.

Anderson Cooper jokingly threatened to fire members of his “Anderson Cooper 360″ staff on Monday, May 9, after an embarrassing picture of a 9-year-old Cooper appeared on-screen while he was reporting on Justin Bieber’s “CSI” -.

In the photo (and video!) of Cooper on “To Tell The Truth,” the CNN anchor is wearing a furry purple hat and sparkly purple top. After the picture flashed on-screen, Cooper said, “Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Did we just put a picture of me when I Was like nine years-old on ‘To Tell the Truth’? About Justin Bieber being a brat, are you saying I’m a brat?”

When Isha Sesay tried to continue her report, Cooper interrupted, “I’m being told in the control room it was a technical glitch, I don’t believe that for a second… I’m not hearing anything, I’m just thinking about people I’m gonna fire.”

Cooper went on to explain the picture, saying, “I was pretending to be Wally Norden, the world’s youngest bear trainer.” Finally, he said, “We’ll get back to you in a little bit. We’ll try to get this ‘technical thing’ worked out. And by worked out I mean we’ll place our old people.”

Oh, Silver Fox. Never change and never lose that sense of humor.
