Dominating the people news of late is young Disney star Miley Cyrus, who just issued a statement apologizing for some racy photos that hit the Internet last week, as well as the most recent batch from Vanity Fair magazine's photo shoot in which she appears to be naked.
Cyrus told People magazine: "My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie [Leibovitz]. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed."
The photos that are released of the Vanity Fair shoot show Cyrus appearing to be topless in frame.
Cyrus also remarked about the other Internet photos: "The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone.
"Most of all," she says, "I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team. My family and my faith will guide me through my life's journey."
Now the Disney Channel, which is home to series "Hannah Montana", has issued a statement of their own:
"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."
The Cyrus family is painting a picture of deception and manipulation of their daughter by Vanity Fair, who assured them Miley would be artfully depicted.
They tell People magazine this was "a learning moment" for Cyrus.

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?
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.
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.
she is 15 why isn't the parent disapproving of her antics. With an idiot father as Billy who cannot speak to save his life, how can she do or know any better, its a good thing I have no children to idolize something of that nature
Don't kid yourself that young girls won't see these pictures just because they won't have access to this mag. The pictures will be plastered all over!! Maybe 15 is old enough to be a sexpot, but she shouldn't be acting this way if Disney is continuing to promote her to young girls - period! I don't care what the he** she does, but don't try to appeal to these little girls any more. The image of these pictures- half nude with a come heather look, sprawling across her father's legs in a provocative pose, and the one with a young boy's hands on her hip/stomach don't exactly protray a teeny bopper. I'm not a prude in any sense of the word, just think there are appropriate actions geared toward a certain age group, and she doesn't do that any more. She is learning you can't have it both ways!!
it's up to the parents to monitor what these little girls are looking up to. They don't have the money to go to these concerts if the parents didn't fork it out. In fact, it would be a good time to have a talk with the girls and point out how not to present themselves.
That suntan lotion billboard....seeing that l'il cartoon girl's hiney with the doggie pulling at her bathing suit always gave me a perverse thrill. Just kidding.. If a child makes you horny you'd be a perv. But seeing a photo with a nice coposition and beautiful subject you appreciate art for arts sake.
..Remember a young Brooke Shields in Pretty Baby?
Remember Jodie Foster playing a twelve year old prostitute? Remember Dakota Fanning with her controversial dance scene in HOUND DOG?
Miley is going to be bigger than the SUN one day so get used to her now while she's young because you'll be voting for her at the OSCARS one day many years from now.
Hope for Miley

Dedicated to Miley for love, faith and hope for a better future
Many of you now know Miley’s recent photo shoot for Vanity Fair magazine. No matter of your opinion now, I hope you see some bright side to this situation just as I do. Yes, she is only 15, but is that your only defense? I have forgiven her for what she has done because it was the right thing to do. Now it is your turn…your turn to see the light. That is what I am striving to show you.
Think about the Miley the world knows deep in their hearts, the Miley that makes the world smile at the mention of her name, the Miley that strives to be the best Christian celebrity she can be. She has only hit a bump in the road. Think about it. Nobody really is perfect. Have you ever done anything similar to this? Maybe not, but several have. The only difference is she is a teenage celebrity. We should all know by now that Miley is a very good girl, but she is still human. Everyone makes mistakes that blow up in their face.
We do not know what it is like to be the world’s wealthiest kid at age 15. Some of us have not even reached 15. She has apologized and I believe she means it. If you think about the Miley we all know and love, why would she not mean it…to cover her reputation? I do not think so. It is easy to think something is “cool” then let it eat at your heart, making you feel embarrassed and guilty. Why not cut her some slack and forgive her? She is still human. She is no different than us. Plus, she is still a kid. Why not give her a break? Are you ready to forgive her?
Disney is the one who needs to move on with a younger, more innocent role model for the preteens - Miley shows she is way past being in that genre
I am unable to make a final conclusion from this excerpt.
Cyrus, is a 15 year old, perfectably capable of making her own decisions and allowing to stand up for her privacy, and thoughts. She had the chance to say 'no' to this photographer-yet to no avail.
On the other hand, she desires fame and publicity and through these shots-she would be given a chance...how would she be able to refuse the offer?
We should consider these two thoughts of the matter..we shouldn't stop watching Cyrus's preformances..if you are a fan.
Yet, we should perhaps-not resepect her as much.
We need to monitor what our little girls watch and who they look up to. I think Miley has passed her prime as their role model. Those innocent years just don't last very long on either side!
i think billy ray probally broke at least 2 or 3 laws in california. this is child abuse and probally mild child porn in my opinion. i hope he is investigated, there is enough out there for child molesters with out giving them more.
It's a back! We all have one. Leave her alone...it was a publicity stunt which will bring her many millions more.
I think the photos of Miley with some boy, her dad and the 'suggested' naked one does send an entirely wrong message of who she is supposed to be! Call it what you like - a lapse in judgement, etc., but she would have to be really stupid (Disney, her parents and photographer included)not to know this. As someone said - you can't have it both ways. The one statement that's really hillarious is that the photos were supposed to be artistic! Isn't that what all erotic pictures are claimed to be - LOL
This is all so ridiculous. I think everyone just needs to leave Miley alone. I don't even see how anyone can call the Vanity Fair photo 'nude'. Miley is fifteen and everyone needs to let her be a teen while she can, she wasn't doing anything wrong. We all know that Miley has a heart of gold, and that she turns to God in all that she does. Why would anyone try to make her feel embarassed and ashamed? There have been stars younger than her that have taken a picture actually 'nude'. I am fifteen, and being a teenager is hard enough without having people criticize you all the time. Miley is being more mature and responsible than a lot of the teens I have seen in this world, and she is trying really hard to keep it that way. So let's not make it any harder for her.
omg omg omg omg omgo mg omg ogmgmglrgt
With Lizzie...what a bunch of uptight top buttoned anal retentive sociological prudes. Come down off your high horses and be more open inded to the fact that this CELEBRITY always makes choices based on their managers suggestions...they all do it for exactly that reason PUBLICITY.
That's what show biz is folks. If you think it's easy doin one night stands try playin in a rock and roll band.
i wount blame you for anything but all i could say is that you should know better come on am 15years old too. you should know that it was wrong from the start. but you are still my number one fan
People still aren't 'getting' it. It all boils down to the fact that she is performing to little girls - if she wants to be a sex symbol - fine,then get on with her life and quit doing the shows that little girls watch. I'm sure there are a lot of those parents who aren't too happy.
A New York Times review of the photos in Vanity Fair said, quote, 'If there's good news here, it's that folks in Buffalo, Charlotte or Iowa City are still insisting on cultural norms alien to the elites of Manhattan or Hollywood.'
I take exception to that. If there's good news here, it's that the cultural norms of Buffalo, Charlotte or Iowa City are NOT the cultural norms. Why do we automatically assume that the more rural an opinion gets, the more 'normal' it becomes? It is THIS type of opinion that confers 'elite' status on a minority.
Frankly, I think a majority of people (including this 57 year old who grew up in a rural environment) are getting a bit sick and tired of being preached to by this elite minority who thinks they are holier than thou. Miley did nothing she should be embarassed about. It's the hyper-moralists who should be embarassed about attempting to foist their stuck-up sticky-beak attitudes on the tolerant majority.
Miley your such a slut!!!! What whore you thinking? huh??????
Apparently a lot of posters aren't parents of the preteens girls who look up to Miley. If you were, you'd see what she is now doing isn't geared toward them. She is trying to invent a sexy image. Guess that isn't something I want to encourage in my 7 & 9 year olds, so bye bye Miley!
Dude,you guys are mad retarded first of all Miley is mad young for her age and you no wat kids now a days do what they do and most parents let them,but you Know what thats how they learn from their experiences.Miley
obviously knows wat she did was wrong and you know what, this is only one bad thing she did.
You know what about the phrase 'Forgive and Forget' thats what you guys should do!!
By the way,Vanity Fair, they do this crap all the time!!
So you know what think about this!!
people you need to get a life Miley is a teenager and teenage girls do a lot more than you think and those people who call her a slag for doing this you obviously dont know wat a slag is as this definently isnt and at the end of the day she is growing up and i dont think she should have to hide everything she does just because she is famous just give her a break its not like she is naked anyway she does have something on and she is told to do these pictures and i couldn't believe that people also called her a slag in the pictures of her and her dad i mean hello people she is wearing jeans and a top i think you people need to grow up and learn wat a slag realli is and i would love to see the people who say all these things about her do better than her because she is going far in her life and at the end of the day you dont know her so why judge the things she is told to do to wat she is like leave her alone
with Jackie. Who cares if she wants to run the streets naked and have sex on every corner, but when she is supposed to be entertainment for pre-teen girls, she is way out of line for that - EOS!
This is what I read that made me sick.
I II IIII I III IIIIIII II IIIII I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIII III IIII Miley Cyrus III i i ii iiii I I I IiIiI I

Everybody here is thinking about themselves and their own paranoid shame.
What YOU all need to do is parent a little bit. To CONTROL what your kids watch.
Do you intend to go out and buy the Vanity magazine for your daughter?
Just keep the TV on the Disney channel and shut the F up. If Miley turned 18 and did the same things you'd be saying the same garbage.
uh...get a damned life and stop being a bunch of old hens and washer women.
i hate miley cyrus i thought she was ok but now i dont care what they say shes a loser!!!! i heard her parents left 5 minutes in the shoot!!!
is the same attitude of people whose kids end up in trouble!!!
ok havent we seen this happen befor almost ALL disney chanel stars like hanan montanna and vanessa hudgens are letting fame come to their tiny brains. Vanessa hudgens and her disgusting nude pictures and hana montana and her half nude pics... give her a cuple more millions and shell go all the way.. almost every star on disney chanel goes bad.. lindsey lohan , britney spears, but that was a long time ago lol.. and for the rest to come.
i think we should all stop watching hana montana and stop going to her concerts cuz she says she want to be a rolemodel for KIDS wow i guess all kids now adays look at half nude pics on the computer and stuff..
this is all
BULLsh*t
What 'I threw up' said about 2 posts ago is right on the money. The sad fact is that, today, many parents abrogate their child-rearing responsibilities to the electronic babysitter -- TV, and the popular media that surrounds TV celebrities. Instead of whining about what a terrible role model Miley Cyrus might be, why not try being a better role model yourself? In fact, why not do something radical ... like getting rid of your TV entirely and start a family plan of reading books together ... with the accent on the word TOGETHER.
TV (and TV celebs) will always reflect that which is good about society right along with that which is not so good about society. Kinda like 'life.' The only guide a child cannot escape is the parent ... unless a parent allows them to escape. And usually, they allow this escape through their own hypocrisy. Example. How many parents would say 'No more Hannah Montana for you' to their kids ... but while they're in bed at night, turn on 'Sex In The City' to watch? Since when did sleaze become OK based on (ahem) maturity?
Want a moral child? Raise them in a moral home where ALL members of the household adhere to the same constraints and taboos. It's not rocket science.
Not all kids are glued to a TV but parents think the Disney Channel would be more wholesome when they do watch so that doesn't mean they can't be disgusted with the way Miley is now protraying herself at the same time performing for preteens! This whole thing was just very disappointing. And just because a child has watched Hannah Montana doesn't mean the adults in the household aren't good role models - what a simple=minded statement!
This is a joke if she wears a swim suit you will see more get over it
Jen,
I never said kids were 'glued' to the TV. I merely suggested that parents defer monitoring of their own children to networks and celebrities ... then get mad at the network and/or celebrity for their OWN decision to defer that monitoring. That's not a simple-minded statement. It's a not so simple tragedy whose mantra is 'pass the blame buck to a third party.' Parents used to spend a lot of time TOGETHER with their children. But nowadays, it's hard to find a family that even shares a meal together ... much less house-bound activities unrelated to eating (ie., watching TV). I suspect that most homes allow kids to have their own TVs. The proof of this can be found by examining current cable and satellite offerings which include multiple descrambler boxes as part of a package.
FWIW, while my kid was growing up, we spent a lot of time at our public library ... together. If started young enough, it can become a good habit that reaps benefits for a child throughout their lifetime. But whether it's a novel or a television show, experiencing it together becomes an enriching experience ... especially when discussion of the work afterward allows the child to not only experience the work, but the opinions of the person who should always be their role model - their parent.
someone is showing their age - old!
No my attitude is one of wisdom and experience. My Son is 14. He's an honor roll student wants to be a computer programmer and has college plans already. He watches Miley and other Disney shows and has a good temperament. He has never shop lifted or caused trouble in school he has a group of pals and they all play Baseball ,video games and Talk about girls. He has a bright future with me a his dad and an understanding of humor nature and behavior beyond most parents'.
Miley is a smart kid and posing for Vanity fair ( a fashion magazine ) does not tarnish her at all in my eyes. As I mentioned in an earlier post. Look at Brook Shields and Jodie Foster and several other big Hollywood types who pushed the envelope as underage models.
People just need to come on down from their high horses that's all.
that's why theres alot of typos
Somebody shows a bit of shoulder and suddenly it's worth international news coverage? Something revealing about a third of what a modern day bodysuit would and people kick up a big issue out of it? Americans really are by far the most conservative of modern day developed nations aren't they? They are far more acceptant of their youth witnessing violence in the media rather than nudity. Something about bare skin freightens Americans far more than violence and frankly it's comical.
It's not what she is doing that people are complaining about - duh. She isn't doing anything that most 15 year old girls are doing or worse, but it's the fact that she is an entertainer for pre-teen girls and that she is now protraying a very sexy image and actions - get it?????
Has it ever occurred to any of you that her private photos or Vanity Fair photoshoot aren't targetted at her preteen fan base? Those of you dissing her act like she wanted all her fans to look at every private moment and then buy Vanity Fair to see her as she was photographed. Right, as if Miley said, 'Hey, let's take some sexy photos and show it to all my fans.' Or, with VF, 'Let this photoshoot be sexy so my fans can look at me like this.' This is sarcasm, obviously, since none of the private photos or her Vanity Fair photoshoot were meant to be seen by her preteen fans. Anybody think of that?
like these photos aren't spread all over other mags and papers on the front pages and probably on TV as well!
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i never liked her way to let your self down miss goddy two shoes you suck and you ugly
Stop already enough move on.
As long as the article is running, people are going to comment. If they don't like it, don't read it.
you are a bitch miley i thought i waas a fan of yours but that pic of you showing your braws that means that you are a hoe i am going to burn the shirt that i have of you
what's a braw?
even so if she thought the photo shoot was going to be 'artsy' it's not the photographer fault because couldn't she have just walked out when they told her she had to be naked under a sheet? that part just confuses me that she would blame it on the photographer when she's the one in the picture
you r a dork u shoudet make that mistike
She shouldn't have taken photos like this and she is just growing up. I mean cmon', we all know she's just learning and wants to fit in with the big celebrities. As you can see she has learned form this and no, Disney will not drop her like they did with Jamie Lynn Spears. Atleast Miley isn't going out and getting pregnant with some guy , older than her! Just leave her alone. Now another thing is that her father shouldn't have supported this, I totally understand if she did this with out letting them know. It's the parents faults, not Miley's. I blame her father. He let her take the pictures, and even took one with her! Miley Cyrus is a good person and is way to big of a star now that she will be fine with her career.
the blame goes back and forth - LOL - no one knows the truth except the ones there, and they all say something different.
With Lindsay, Britney and the other pop-tarts quiet for the moment, the tabloid press is looking for fresh meat - Miley qualifies.
Anyone bother to buy the magazine and look at the shots? 'Harmless' would be an overstatement. You can see more flesh at the mall.
The 'portrait' aspect of the shot (I.E. the face) has a beautiful quality of a girl becoming a woman - I always figured, based on that voice and attitude, that she was 20 years older anyway.
She's been working for years, and seems to have a darned good head on her shoulders. In Vanity Fair's interview she considers what Lindsay et al are doing as typical for a 21-year-old; so I'd guess we can expect more revelations when she outgrows Disney for good. This is no naif, and the whole public apology (read what she said IN the article) is the phony part of the story.
This is not a 'decency' issue at all - it's a matter of what Disney sees as age-appropriate, and they want Miley to be 16 forever for their own purposes. Even Mouseketeers grew up.
Leave the kid alone; and teach YOUR kids that there's no Santa Claus. In the information age, the whole idea of 'childhood' has shrunken, and parents who shell out for the idol-worshipping accessories are the real problem here, by turning performers into industries.
I think she looks beautiful in this picture. She obviously is not completley naked. And if her parents didnt think this was appropriate, they would NOT have let her do it. Her parents are VERY strict and i feel that they wouldnt let her 'reveal' herself so fully as to make people think she is a poser like that. I like the picture and i totally defend Miley! People who are mad or angry about this picture obviously dont know how religious her family is and what a good girl Miley is.
No one said she's naked in the picture, and it isn't just this picture. It's also the one with her pulling her top down and sprawled across some boy with his hand on her hip/stomach. Also her look in these pictures is pure sex! If she wants to be a sex symbol at 15, then quit Disney! It's as simple as that!
RE: Also her look in these pictures is pure sex!
------------------------
Perhaps, the problem is in the eye of the beholder. This is nice portraiture, and for a change she's not a giggly teenybopper. The expression looks about like every other portrait that Annie ever took.

Either she becomes a perpetual 15, or moves towards adulthood. Disney's problems is that their little money machines become adults, and then they have to line up the next object of the 'tweeen's affections.
Disney and Miley need to move on - that's it in a nut shell - what people are trying to say. If she no longer wants to appeal to preteen girls - fine - then move on. A lot of people think she is protraying a very sexy image, and if the pictures in question don't show that, then somebody has blinders on! No one really cares if she wants to turn herself into a sexpot, but she can't have it both ways now - either decide she still wants to appeal to the little girls or get on with her 'adult image'!!!
well i think it was really stupid from her to have taken those pics because she is only 15 an she is a famous singer so ofcourse they were gonna hit the internet
i think that she is a britney spears wanna be

======================================
Miley is worlds away from Britney. For one thing, Miley has a family working on her behalf. More importantly, she has a brain.
She was no doubt flattered that Annie would take the pictures - but face it, Vanity Fair is not a teeny-bopper publication. It's an adult venue, like New Yorker or Esquire, where even the ads sell nothing but sex appeal. Whoever lined up this shoot had to know the direction it was headed. Miley does not lack for publicity, so what was the point of the article in Vanity Fair, except to scale up to a more mature audience?
What rang phony was her 'embarrassment', if you read the magazine's full article. No matter; the kids want to see her and pay for the privilege, and the parents will go along, wallets and all.
She's 16, by the way, but has maturity far beyond that - read the article. As to the pictures hitting the internet ... surprise! They're being published in Vanity Fair, who wanted the pre-publication publicity!
This is a story that got press coverage far beyond its importance, and will not impact her total sales in the least. She probably picked up some 'cool points' amongst some girls who felt they'd outgrown her.
She certainly won't lose any money or publicity over this - like she really NEEDED more! I agree totally that she needs to stop her shows geared to preteen girls. She might be mature beyond her years in some ways, but totally immature in others!
RE: She might be mature beyond her years in some ways, but totally immature in others!
--------------------------------
She's at this point being used by those getting a cut of the proceeds.
At least there are no sex tapes, which should be seen as a giant leap forwards.
All that matters is that Disney is happy, and Miley performed in the concert in Orlando. All is well again in the Magic Kingdom.
I WAS a huge fan of her but since that photo came out I hate her and I wish I never would have liked her like my freind Hannah my frineds have changed out online site from Miley to Ashley even before this when the hotel pictures came out because we knew this might happen and now werew glad about it! I do not belive Miley Cyrus 'says' anymore thats appoligizing because its mostly not true-she thinks she needs more attention.
Like she should be given credit because she didn't do a sex tape - get real! This is getting old. She proved that she can be manipulated and bask in showing her sexual side because she is 15 and that's what you do at 15 according to a few comments here......LOL I guess she's outgrown her old fan base.
She doesn't look so innocent after she dyed her hair that awful witchy black. It was much better when it was a pretty brown. No one looks good with hair that black unless they were born with it - dyed black looks so fake.
And don't forget it was the preteens who made her what she is today - a filthy rich entertainer.
You think Miley is the first? THis goes back to Judy Garland and Shirley Temple. Come on down fron your Horses and unbutton your collars. Please all this stuffieness is smothering us worldly smart folks.
Oh everyone stop it. She's a cute girl and didn't show any parts.
What a puritanical society we've become. Once she's too old for
Disney she's probably going be dancing around a pole anyway.
Look at her predecessor BritNee...Once she made the mistake of having kids and ruining her hot body, she flopped like a day old flounder on the meat counter. She isn't worth the old newspaper she's wrapped in anymore.
Judy Garland and Shirley Temple??? Our great grandmothers' idols!
Who cares what Miley does, but she is no longer a good entertainer or role model for preteens. That's really what most people are trying to get across. Decent parents wouldn't be happy to have their little girls going around copying sexy poses, etc. They need to be little girls for awhile, not sex obsessed.
Temple, Garland ,Taylor,Wood, All started as children and moved on to more mature roles at young ages and were chastised and berated for it.
Moving to more modern times. Shields,Barrymore,Foster,Fanning.
They were all in films as children that were not for the kiddies.
This list will keep growing. Everyone knows Sally Field lost the Gidget gig after making Sybil. She got an award for that. But her wholesome image was tarnished in the eyes of the TEEVEE people.
The same thing is going on here. SO what Hanna Montana posed seductively in a Fashion magazine. Career wise this won't affect her.
She has the BACKING of the DISNEY folk one of the most powerful entertainment entities in H-wood. Probably the most. What they say goes.
So if it's ok w/them...let it go.
Encourage Miley and stop playing censor because you don't have what it takes to understand.
This jerk cant even express him self properly.
You idjit. I make good points and you attack something else.
Let me ask you ENGLISH PROFESSOR? How do you spell can't I spell it like that. I'm the jerk? I'd beat you up within an inch of your life if you were in a public place with me just to humiliate you and make you cry.
I happened to spell TEEVEE that way on purpose. Maybe you think I spelled censor wrong? Where'd you get your education Asshole U.?
Also I believe ( if this is the person I think) we were on the same side at one point. Leave Miley be. Unless you're the person who called Britney and Lindsay whores. ( thay makes more sense that's you) Stab Stab stab stab stab....that's me burying a knife in your chest. Did I spell that right?
You people always antagonizing and asking for trouble. You wonder why you become victims. It's obvious because you ask for it.
Anymore misspelled words or even a few typo's you'd like to harp on?
We are thousands of miles from each other..Or in the same state...not that it matters. You like to nit-pick. So regardless of a rebut..I can't win like this with your type. You always change the subject Next thing you'll be gettin' all Freudian on me.
I question the ability of some to even make an intelligent evaluation of Miley's situation. She did what she did to probably further her career. I'm sure everyone involved was well aware of what she was doing in the various pictures. She needs to be done, though, as a preteen idol. As for all the old-time actors who did more mature roles at a young age, they didn't have a show and concerts geared toward little girls.
hey everyone who thinks she is bad, lay off!
i am not saying that i approve of this photo, but seriously, she isn't even topless! she is just bareback. I don't think she should take full blame for this, but i am saying that even she should have known better. most of her fans are girls age 12 and under, and this photo may give them the wrong impression. at least Miley isn't showing her private parts...
all i'm saying is, don't side with one person until you hear the full story.
btw, i am a big fan of Miley! :)
Brooke Shields Jodie Foster and Dakota are old time actors. That's right I forgot pardon me. Concerts, pre-teens all irrelevant..BECAUSE...11 year olds don't read Fashion Magazines geared toward adults.
Just like any other age appropriate reading material they should not even be looking at Vanity fair. They have boobies and Hiney's in there.
It's all about controlling your own kids not controlling Miley.
i think she looks sexy
What is wrong with you people miley is fifteen you cant look at her as a kid anymore your criticizing her for trying to grow up wow real mature
i think that jacka** who convinced her to take the pics is the one that should be gettin yelled at ot her and on the other pics that aint nothin look on myspace or face book every once in a while and u will be surprised its just a girl learnin to grow and because she is the daughter of billy ray and a celeb its huge so.... CALM DOWN
Everyone who has a preteen daughter is not going to agree with the ones who think what Miley did in her last pictures was OK. They all protrayed a very sexy image, and I also agree with the posters who think if she wants to be that way now, she should give up her entertainment shows for the preteens girls. As far as those little girls not seeing these pictures - don't ever kid yourself, they are printed other places besides just adult mags. Have you ever seen all the scandal sheets all displayed in the check-out lanes - get real! Parents would do well to explain that Miley used some very wrong judgements right now.
but observe this...no matter where a young'un might be and no matter where they look GOOD PARENTING should trump anything and everything.
It's up to the Mommies to make sure it's handled properly should the question arise...'' Mommy why is Miley playing leap frog with that boy naked? ''
When my little girl saw the picture with her white skin and awful black hair, I told her Miley was pretending to be a scary witch.
Well i dont think its Mileys fault i think its hollywoods and all the other prevois teen actors and singers who are tetting htis example. Miley was just a girl who was going with the example that other people have made. May i remind People that when Brittney Spears was 15 her music vidoe was showed with her in a skanky caothlic uniform running around the school. her skirt hhiked way up and her top tied and i 'inocent' pig tails. so on that note i think we owe it to miley to cutt her a break!
Dtito on that scoure.
Is it atrocious spelling or just bad typing?????
I mean...boat.
Come on people, media will do anything to bash a celebrity in their favor. Especially someone like her, she's a fish and the media waits for a bite. She's fine, and I don't think she had anything to apologize for...
nonsensical talk for such a small insignificant action.
well i thing this pic is not nude b/c and not a bad roll moldel this is bad rool model but at leat she did got that far like vannesa hugen anf it's not nude cuse her p**** or t*t* are not showing so leve hetr alone
trying to say?
I loved her dress. I think it was a great way to break away from Disney. I can't wait to see what she's going to week on Nashville Star. I think its on NBC or something.
okay i believe that in a way those photos were wrong but come on now she is only 15 and she is still growing.she is a teen and their bound to make mistakes such as posing in a wrongful pictures but you can't put a whole lot of guilt on them.I know you thinking 'but she is a role model for younger kids, they'll follow in her foot steps' yeah okay but if you teach your children better they will be better.And by the way i would think that her photos would affect the teen group from probably 11-15 but come on do you actually think they will be affected by it?To see a pop star so called posing 'nude', come on now her breast weren't even showing.i think if her breast were showing then that would have been totally inappropriate.
Yet sometimes you have to put aside the fact that she is pop star and notice that she is just another teen growing up who would have thought that the photos would be artist and wonderful.which i think they are.
Leave miley alone, Everyone needs to grow up and u need to let them, and dont you think she might get a bit tired of acting for 9 yr olds, she has a life too and shes 15 not 9, and everyone makes mistakes, and fgs, thats barely even topless, u can see her back and thts it. shes a talented young girl and everyone makes mistakes, especially when your in that age span, its the age where your still learnin how to be an adult and can be one of the hardest times of your life, physically and emotionally! so back off and give her some space and stop trying to knock someone down when they stand up, just cos most you cant sing that well you shouldnt be jealoys and trying to knock, disney knows that by signing people tht age that it will happen so she shouldnt be fired! dont you think maybe she wants to grow up, but she cant cos of trying to be a good role model to younger kids, otherwise she could do wateva she wants and sing wateva she wants instead of pop she could sing rock or do wateva she wants, and why do people look to famous people as role models! yeah lets all worship the T.V! leave her alone, its not like you've ever not done sumink wrong!

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