Big Sean went public last week with his relationship with Glee star Naya Rivera at the premiere of 42. The beautiful 26-year old actress takes it all off for Allure's "Naked Truth" series.

Your character on Glee, Santana, has made you a sex symbol in the lesbian community. How does that feel?

"It's kind of cool—and it makes me feel like a bada$$. I get more girls than my boyfriend. They always tweet me about my booty."

You used to work as a Hooters waitress. Did you have nightmares about that uniform?
"I have nightmares about that job, period. When I was working there, I was really skinny—a lot skinnier than I am now. But I was always self-conscious."

How did you get over that?
"You can't be so hard on yourself that you're not enjoying every day."

BOSTON — Two bombs exploded at the venerable Boston Marathon on Monday, killing two people, sending hundreds of runners scrambling for cover and rattling nerves around the nation, authorities said.

The blasts occurred in rapid succession as thousands of people were still running. Video footage showed an explosion off to the side as runners were nearing the finish line, with some toppling over from the concussion. Smoke rose into the air, and photos of the scene showed a sidewalk slicked with blood.

The explosions, occurring on the Patriot’s Day holiday that commemorates the Revolutionary War battles of Lexington and Concord, were as shocking in their symbolism as in their force. The Boston Marathon is a highly prestigious race and is as much a symbol of Boston as Fenway Park.

 

Two federal law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the blasts were caused by explosive devices. The repercussions extended from Massachusetts to Washington, where President Obama was briefed by top officials, the White House increased security, and the Justice Department and FBI mobilized to fully investigate what had happened.

 

In a brief appearance at the White House shortly after 6 p.m., Obama expressed sympathy for the victims of the blasts and said all the necessary resources of the federal government would be assigned to assist Boston officials in determining the cause of the explosions.

 

“We still do not know who did this or why, and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts,” Obama said. “But make no mistake — we will get to the bottom of this.”

 

A White House official called the explosions an “act of terror,” saying authorities have much to learn about who was behind it.

 

 

“Any event with multiple explosive devices — as this appears to be — is clearly an act of terror, and will be approached as an act of terror,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. “However, we don’t yet know who carried out this attack, and a thorough investigation will have to determine whether it was planned and carried out by a terrorist group, foreign or domestic.”

 

In addition to the two confirmed deaths, police said more than 20 people were injured. Other media reports placed the injury toll as more than 100 people.

 

Initial reports of another explosion at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston turned out to be an unrelated fire. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick urged people to “stay out of crowds” as they made their way home.

 

A CNN producer who was at the race said the first large explosion was followed about 10 seconds later by another blast. He said he saw at least five or six people who appeared to be injured.

 

Emergency personnel rushed to the area, and the street was quickly sealed off.

 

“I saw it go off and smoke billowed up. Everyone just stopped and hunched down,” said Pam Ledtke, 51, from Indianapolis, who was about 75 yards from the finish line when the explosions went off. “They didn’t know what to do,” Ledtke said.

 

“All of a sudden, people were screaming,” Ledtke added.

The Boston Marathon was rocked today by two bombs. At least 2 people are dead and 23 are hurt with what is being described as gruesome injuries. It's highly possible the injury toll will rise as police try to contain a chaotic scene.

27,000 runners took part in the race. The explosions occurred near the finish line.

Jackie Bruno, a reporter for New England Cable News reported on Twitter that she was close to the blast and saw many injured.

“We saw two big puffs. I thought maybe it was fireworks. Then it went off again. And then all of a sudden we heard people crying and running away. It was a huge horde of people just running away,” he said. “We just got away from the scene and away from tall buildings. I’m scared and emotional. I’m wondering if there are people who I was volunteering with who were still there and got hurt," said witness Serghino Rene according to NBC.

"There are people who are really, really bloody," Laura McLean, a runner from Toronto, told the Associated Press. "They were pulling them into the medical tent."

The AP is reporting that two more bombs were found and were being disabled.

**UPDATE**

The Boston Globe is reporting that at least 125 people were injured in today's bombing in addition to the 2 previously reported deaths at the Boston Marathon. No arrests have been made although police continue to question people.

“We’re questioning many people, but there is no one in custody at this point,” Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said.

The bombs exploded at 2:50 p.m. eastern time. It happened on Patriots Day, which is a state holiday in Massachusetts that celebrates the beginning of the American Revolution.

President Obama has vowed to bring those responsible to justice.

“We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts,” Obama said today. “But make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice.”
