Regardless of how 'tasteful', aren't 'suggestive' photos of underage children considered PEDOPHILIA?? This is -not- a good boundary to push the envelope on.

No. Recognizing the beauty of a person is one thing. Wanting to fondle and have sex with kids is all together something else. Actually committing the crime is pedophilia. You get charged for it. But looking at Glamour shots of Miley Montana on the beach is called artistic appreciation. She is the biggest thing for Disney since Mickey. She's growing up. Stop judging when you are in no position. Not just you...everyone.

Is anyone fooled by this? Are we supposed to believe that, in this day and age, with the management this person probably has at her disposal, she was not aware of who and what Annie Liebowitz does with her subjects? Are we going to swallow the idea that some internet pictures were a 'mistake'???

Wake up folks. None of this was miscalculated, or random. Child stars crap out when they grow up, unless they can make their careers jump the gap. This is a calculated gap-jump career move. Racy pics are one way young stars get a new audience.

Pervs love it when teen starlets do this kind of stuff, it prompts other teens to do the same. The Madonna-Britney kiss launched a generation of fake and real lesbian outbursts with its lot of voyeurs all too eager to cheer them on.

Actually, wrong again, pedophilia is the primary or exclusive sexual attraction of adults in prepubescent children. Ephebophilia or is the primary or exclusive sexual attraction to adolescents who are post pubescent which is the case with Miley or else she's been shopping at the boob emporium. Either way, its outlandishly funny to think of finding 15 year old girls attractive as a criminal thing or disturbing behavior, since (a) the average age of consent in the world is 15 and (b) the normal age of marriage in the country during the last century was 14. But seeing as America is still enslaved by it's puritan founding which explains why we love death and violence and (pretend) we don't like sex, it isn't shocking.

Grow up people, or did you think your boyfriends and girlfriends were (sick) when you were getting down in high school?

Get your definitions straight!Apr 28th, 2008 - 06:33:03

Pedophillia.. sexual attraction towards prepubescent youths, does not extend to the first sign of pubic hair.

hebephilia.. sexual attraction towards adolecents

Regardless of whether we lazily label the Disney star a child or a woman, which is she really.. an adolsecent or a prepubescent?

Hysterical shrieking is not helpful in this case. If anyone wants to 'protect' Miley from abuse,.. maybe they should shut down the market that wants to put her on a stage and make her perform for money etc.

I agree with DarkElfaApr 28th, 2008 - 08:49:33

There is nothing distasteful about Miley's 'topless' picture. It's surprising to hear people call it 'topless' when it doesn't even show her breasts, just her bare upper back!

Disney should stop embarrassing their stars and making them change their opinion about the pictures they posed for. And America needs to get a grip on this silly idea that teenagers shouldn't be allowed to grow up at their own pace and in their own way.

Miley's photos show a lot more class than Jessica Biel's genuine topless photos from Gear in 2000. Jessica was just 17 at the time of those photos but that's not what I feel is the problem with them, rather, it's that the settings were ugly - including posing on a bathroom sink! But Miley's 'topless' photo and Vanessa's self-made nude photo are artistic and beautiful.

I think the whole thing is so stupid. Miley's appeal right now is to a young audience, and those pictures aren't appropriate - making her look like a teasing, sex kitten. No one is going to believe she or anyone else involved didn't know what she was doing. She has been on a gradual step toward this with her dark hair and sexy moves and stance in her dancing. This is all happening just a little too soon. Disney needs to cool it or replace another too-sexy tartlett with someone younger. It has been reported that this whole sex thing is being done so she can still be appealing as she gets older - what, the billions she has already aren't going to be enough to support her when she's 17!!! If she has any so-call 'grown-up' talent, she'll do ok........IF!

Miley appeals mostly to grade school girls and maybe up to 12 at best, so her actions should be geared toward them as I doubt any person older than that thinks she is cool jumping and bouncing around the stage and trying to sing. If she and Disney can't do that any more, then she should be replaced.

Everyone needs to GROW UP. My niece is seven and LOVES Miley, and trust me, she won't even HEAR about these photos 'til she's twenty.

Who CARES? I don't know if any of you were tuned in to the passing story of your own lives, but 15 is a LITTLE LATE for becoming sexually aware, dontcha think?

I remember being nine in the playground and hollering about my dick to anyone that would listen - LEAVE THE LADY ALONE.

Yeah, and then there's Vanity Fair, known for modesty in general.

JESUS.

Besides, have you seen the photos? Not exactly ... mature.
