Released: Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Photos
The controversial Vanity Fair photos, for which Miley Cyrus has already apologized for, have been released online.
In the accompanying interview to the magazine shoot, the young singer explained her decision to pose topless, albeit with a blanket covering her body:
"I had a big blanket on. And I thought, This looks pretty, and really natural. I think it's really artsy. [And] it wasn't in a skanky way.⦠And you can't say no to [photographer Annie Leibovitz]. She's so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look and you're like, O.K."
Is the infamous picture skanky, Miley? No. But is it inappropriate for a 15-year old? Yes. You and your family should have known better.
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at a series of the Vanity Fair pics in question. Click on each for enlarged versions...
What do you think, readers? Did Miley Cyrus need to apologize for these shots? Are they too racy for someone her age? Do they change your view of her?

How disappointing! Way too young for shots like that. No wonder our 11-13 yr.old girls are in such a mess these days. Miley, what happened to your sense of decency, your loyalty to the young fans that put you where you are? My daughters will no longer be supporting your career. Hope you get your head on straight before it's too late. There's enough Britney's and Paris's in the world. Shame on you Cyrus family for allowing those shots to be made of your underage daughter. I guess it really was all about the fame and money!! No 30-something men out there will be drueling all over their copies. How sick!

oh em gee!! this is way worse than what we've seen lindsay lohan and vanessa hudgens do! i cannot believe that she would stoop down to their level of nakedness! she definitly just bared it all on this one! she was a role model to me and to almost see her whole back is totally inappropriate! what would billy ray say?? boo fucking hoo!

Leave the kid alone....just more brouhaha over something so ridiculous. Miley you didn't have to apologize. The pics are very nice. you did nothing wrong.Just another case of media trying to provoke an uproar for better ratings.

My Gosh! They are not that bad people! I have seen lots worse of celebs! Give her a break!

i think that those pictures were too racy for her age and that she needed to apollogize but my view of her now is a good role model that should learn from her mistakes.she still is a role model cause she did know better than to actually go nude all the way.IM'a BIG FAN.
April 28th, 2008 10:27 AM
oh shut up.
she should have known better? come off that pedestal, mr. high and mighty.

I am 15 years old too, and im not a hoe like miley cyrus she is the biggest fag in this world her father should be put away for even agreeing with letting her take pictures like that. Isnt this chick supossed to be a role model? If so for who... future tramps?

Do I think they are appropriate for a 15 year old? No. Do I think it should be getting the negative attention it is getting, no as well.
Children of which she is, do not need to be sexualized like this, I blame her parents #1...dumb move folks...# 2 the photographers...but they would have her completely nude if it would sell mags. She is a child a PEDOPHILES DREAM! Come on...I find it sad.

Miley is such a good girl and doing really well. People must try to find things to ruin her reputation and that is sickening! Just leave her alone! She is doing well. She has a strong family influence and she will continue to flourish.
People need to stop and take a look at their own lives and ask yourself, what if that was me? How would I feel? She did nothing wrong. Leave her alone and let her live!!!!!

What a prude! Assuming they didn't withhold any racier photos, these pix were G-rated just like her act. Put on a halter top and you see more skin. Admittedly, the sheet may suggest something a little sexy, but apologizing for the "nudity" is completely unnecessary.
April 28th, 2008 1:34 PM
Nothing to be ashamed of. She will make an extra gazillion dollars because of it though, she won't be too upset about that.
April 28th, 2008 2:15 PM
The apology was necessary because Miley is a role model for teens. I think her parents, however, are more to blame for this behavior rather than herself. Miley is only 15. She has yet to learn how her actions will impact the nation's view of her. Her parents do know, however, and they had a responsibility to stop her.
I also think it was completely inappropriate of Miley to blame this on the photographer. No matter how much the photographer begs or pleads, short of harassment, this was her and her parents' decision only. They did not have an obligation to agree to take the pictures. So in this respect, I place the blame on the subject(s) of the photo rather than those actually taking the pictures.

Those are racy photos? Man, what are we reverting back to the puritanical middle ages? Another sign that religion in this country is taking over when people get all worked up over the tamest pics. Get a life complainers. No need to apologize to anybody.
April 28th, 2008 3:14 PM
you guys should just know tht shes just being a teenager shes chaning .shes just being a tenngager so shes just taking a rise ok.
April 28th, 2008 3:38 PM
It's called art people. The photos were done in good taste by a reputable magazine. At least she is not taking nude pictures of herself and sending them to boys or getting pregnant. She should not have apologized. If she hadn't apologized and stuck up for herself I don't think it would have been a major issue, but by apologizing, people assume that she did something wrong, even though you didnt.
April 28th, 2008 3:52 PM
haha im not surprised. she's future paris hilton/lindsay lohan/britney spears. lol
you kno who looks better? demi lovato :D lol
April 28th, 2008 4:18 PM
Okay. . .seriously. . .after reading some of these comments.
Miley is not a hoe. A hoe is somebody who sleeps around with alot of people.
and two. These pictures aren't really THAT bad. I would wear that green dresss.
and all of her back wasn't even out.
get a grip people.
April 28th, 2008 4:57 PM
it's not like she wasn't informed about what was going on at the time. her entire family was there as the shoot was occurring. she herself was extremely excited for the photos at the time, and to turn around almost instantly and make herself sound like some kind of victim is complete b.s. and an outright insult to a world renowned photographer. she shouldn't be ashamed of the photos, but she should be ashamed of her inconsistency regarding statements about the photos.
April 28th, 2008 4:58 PM
Oh my goodness!
Such a big flap over nothing...The photos are oddly sweet and artistic.
20 years from now she'll look at these, think of the fun times of her youth and wonder why she had to apologize.
Apparently we're returning to the dark ages.
April 28th, 2008 5:19 PM
she is freak en stupid for take those pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 28th, 2008 5:39 PM
OMG leave her alone she didnt even really do anything wrong.I could see why you would be mad if she was actually showing herself but she is covered up so just get over it.

Mileys Dad has a lightbulb go off: OMG…we can cash in on this whole thing. All we have to do is say "we are embarassed".
Vanity Fair sells mega-copies. Miley and Billy-Bob go to the bank. And, Miley's hymen is reinforced.
April 28th, 2008 5:57 PM
This does not change my opinion of Miley, she is 15.
It DOES change the opinion of her money grubing Father, who is responsible for her, and most likely makes all her decisions.
April 28th, 2008 6:02 PM
you digust me little girls want to be like you and now youre putting these things in thier minds saying its okay
April 28th, 2008 6:30 PM
Grow up people. I am a conservative Utahn and I don't think these pictures are that bad. Heck, I think it would have been more scandalous if she had been in a bikini- it would have shown a heck of a lot more. The picture that shows the most skin is so artistic that it looks like a painting I'd find in an art gallery. I'm sure numerous parents have taken their kids to an art gallery with naked pictures and girls and didn't think twice about it.
