Kissing Model -- Don't Blame Me for 'Glee' Star Split

One of the models who kissed "Glee" star Dianna Agron's boyfriend for a professional photo shoot says she shouldn't be blamed for the break up because the kiss was "nothing more than art."

TMZ broke the story -- Agron broke things off with "I Am Number 4" star Alex Pettyfer because of an artsy photo shoot that surfaced featuring the actor making out with Lydia Hearst and another female model ... even though the pics were taken BEFORE Alex and Dianna began dating.

Now, Lydia tells us ... "I can't help but laugh because it is nothing more than art, and it is beyond ridiculous that anyone would be upset about it.”

Lydia -- daughter of famous socialite turned bank robber turned actress Patty Hearst -- adds, “It was a kiss from over a year ago ... it's time to move on."

'Number Four' Star -- GF Was Pissed Over Photo Shoot

"I Am Number Four" star Alex Pettyfer's ex-GF split with him over a risque photo shoot he did with two half-naked models -- but here's the rub ... the shoot occurred MONTHS before they even started dating.

Sources close to the ex-couple tell TMZ, "Glee" star Dianna Agron ended the relationship soon after the pictures were released a couple weeks ago ... in which Alex appears barely clothed with models Lydia Hearst and Leven Rambin.

Problem is -- Alex and Dianna started dating last August ... and he shot the pics over a year ago ... back when he was a single man. Dianna's rep wouldn't comment on the story.

Kids these days.

Barbra Streisand -- I Didn't Mean to Diss 'Glee'

Barbra Streisand says she misspoke when she said would never appear on "Glee" -- when the reality is she's really just too busy to do it.

Babs was honored Friday night at the Grammy's MusiCares event, during which she was asked if she would ever do "Glee" -- her answer was, "Not if I can help it." Ouch!

Streisand tells TMZ she didn't mean it the way it sounded, telling us, "When asked if I would ever appear on ‘Glee,' I should have said, 'Younever know.' It was wrong to say, 'Not if I can help it.'

She went on to clarify, "What I meantwas that I’ve been overwhelmed preparing for my performance onMusiCares, the Grammys, recording a new album, and starting a newmovie. So I couldn’t take on any more work, and besides that, I wasn’tasked."

So you're saying there's a chance ...

Glee Photo Shoot Draws Fire 'Borders on Pedophilia'

The producers of "Glee" are taking some serious heat over a sexually charged photo shoot involving three cast members -- with one powerful parents group saying the pictorial "borders on pedophilia."

The PTC declares, “It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on ‘Glee’ in this way. It borders on pedophilia."
