Miley Cyrus "Embarrassed" Over Vanity Fair Photos

Ok, if this were Jennifer Anniston, sitting there with a bare back, clutching what looks like a sheet to her front, would anyone coubt that it was implied that this is a sexual photo?

So, if this kid is 15, she's a minor. I think she must have parents around? Why didn't they look at this photo-were they even at the shoot? Why didn't they nix this idea before the photo was even set up?

Sounds to me, as if Billy and whoever he's running with this week, see Miley as thier cash cow, to be milked.

It's an awful looking photograph. As others wrote, she looks like a very pale, puffy little girl trying to be sexy.

Somewhere in Annie Lebovitz's computer, is a picture of the queen in the same outfit.

looks like she has a kool-aid mustache.

PronG, I don't see a bed. Nor do I see any indication of nudity... other than a bare back. There is absolutely no visual reference to the female form (a.k.a. no curves or bumps), making this photograph arguably less suggestive than average teenager wear. This photograph is far less revealing than what is worn by olympic gymnasts, swimmers and figure skaters. I find the composition about as suggestive as a painting of a cherub. Don't get me wrong, I hear what you are saying. Do I find the photo appropriate? No. But I think it is many times more appropriate than other types of clothing, which, for some unknown reason, are considered culturally acceptable. Namely, her stage outfits, or for another example... figure skater outfits, which completely creep me out... and are totally suggestive.

Could Miley be the next Britney or Linsday?

she normally dresses worse, good picture or not, whatever...

to say it isn't suggestive is bizarre. barely 15 year old girl, nude, in bed...

if it's OK with you fine but not sexualized?

What a bunch of CRAP! she is choosing to be a profesional biimbo and now she is upset about images clearly she will use to promote her career?!

BULL shiat

If I read one more story about Miley Cyrus, I'm going to crack her over her Achy Breaky skull with my Achy Breaky bat.

Burn stuff in a bonfire? How retro!

Hasn't Vanity Fair done that same exact bed sheet pose like 50 times already? It seems all too familiar.

I realized just how overrated Leibovitz's work was when I saw her "exhibit" at the Brooklyn museum last summer. Anybody can take a thousand pictures and end up with 5 great ones.

This shot just confirms that she gets more work from her name/rep than the actual quality of her work. So over rated. this shot is weak.

Miley does have the sleepy just laid look which is probably why some people are all up in arms.

Leibovitz's main photography talent is convincing people to make stupid decisions while appearing in her photos.

Sure she has had some great shots in the past. That is why she has the power to coerce controversial shots from gullible subjects who should know better.

This is the worst scandal since that Harry Potter auto-fellatio row of about three years ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to them both.

with that face, she's been very lucky so far

It's not overtly sexual, it's certainly not terribly attractive, and I really don't see this photo screaming "OMG SEX SYMBOL" anymore than her outfits on stage do.

I think it's a remarkably well composed, lit, etc photo. As for Miley bitching about this not being 'artistic' in nature... I really must question what she was expecting. It's Vanity Fair. And I'm sure the moneys dished out for being a cover model weren't half bad, either.

I heard Vanity Fair could not get copies of her at age 3 in a bathtub with a few of her friends.

inoyourider FTW

She's a dirty little whore and I for one, wouldn't be surprised in the least if her next "photo shoot" involved her getting ass-fucked by a German Shepard."Hannah Montana" is just another 'nom de porn' for aspiring little twats.

It will be a good corn harvest next year.

She should be embarassed. She looks like a pale chipmunk in that photo.

First thing I thought of.

This wasn't an accident.

Obviously staged to market her as just risque enough to appeal to a slightly older crowd of girls without alienating the parents.

Guest guest:

I'm sure you're correct. By "her" I really meant the Miley Machine. I saw some clip that I think was Miley Cyrus singing, and she was shaking her hair all over the place as though she'd had too much Red Bull.

Is she blonde sometimes? Or is that someone else?

I don't understand why people are angry. She's slutty and she makes little girls slutty. Those little girls grow up to be adult sluts. Adult sluts = easy sex for you and me later on. You know how much ass you can get on myspace for not doing anything now? It's all thanks to Britney, paris, and lindsay for showing little girls the way.

bestview, I don't really thing it is about her decisions, as her success is apparently a family industry. This was probably a poor business decision for Cyrus Inc., not because the photo is sexualized, as it isn't - but because it has an urban, cosmopolitan feel - which will be alienating to her folkum yokum fanbase. Or maybe it is a smart business decision as Cyrus Inc. beginning phase II of the "brand." I'm no business man.

It's not the most flattering photo. It makes her look pasty and sad. It seems like this was something Miley wanted to do at the time (perhaps wants out of a Disney contract?), but now she's realizing it wasn't a great decision. We've all made decisions we'd like to take back; we just don't all have it documented in public. She's 15. Fifteen year olds often make poor decisions...just like 25 year olds and 35 year olds and so on and so on.

And as an aside, I really like the Queen's portrait.

What matty said. Not being in her target audience, my familiarity with her is limited to what I saw on the morning shows today. Her ‘teeny’ outfits are fairly inappropriate. But this photo shoot? The big shot in question really isn’t very sexualized. OMG, a back. So what?

Leibovitz's work is so consistently bad. This is no exception.

This is classier than what she normally wears. I don't see what the big deal is.
