Monday Memory - Miley Cyrus
Don’t you remember when 15 year-olds were just 15 year-olds? Don’t you remember when being a 15 year-old meant you were “innocent”?
This whole story is a complete waste of time.
Miley Cyrus took part in a photo shoot for Vanity Fair. At the time of the shoot, she said the photo looked artsy and she loved it. Miley’s family (or her “handlers”) were with her on the shoot and everyone involved loved the results.
Now, parents are complaining to Disney and because of this, Miley is backpedaling on the whole issue. Only now is she “embarassed” by the photoshoot.
Miley Cyrus is taking issue with a photo of herself that’s going around, and it’s not another amateur, truth-or-dare Internet snapshot — it’s the handiwork of 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,” Cyrus said Sunday in a statement through her publicist. “I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”
The photos, appearing in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, were taken by Leibovitz, a renowned celebrity photographer whose edgy, silver-toned portraits have included subjects such as Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and a naked, pregnant Demi Moore.
This is ridiculous.
First of all, it was ridiculous for Vanity Fair and Annie Leibovitz to conduct a photoshoot of a 15 year-old clad only in a silk sheet.
Secondly, it was ridiculous for Miley Cyrus, and her parents (or “handlers”) to agree to participate in a photoshoot of a 15 year-old clad only in a silk sheet.
Everyone involved knew this photoshoot was going to have an adverse effect on her “G-rated” image. If they didn’t, then they are all a bunch of morons.
On a sidenote, every article I have seen about this issue claims it is a topless photo. While I admit it appears she is not wearing a top, you can hardly call it a “topless” photo.
Miley Cyrus knew exactly what she was doing. So did her parents (or “handlers”). She can’t be Hannah Montana forever, and she doesn’t want to get stuck in the “child actor” genre for the rest of her life, so it only makes sense that she would eventually want to be seen as a little more “grown up”.
Again, the matter is ridiculous and a total waste of everyone’s time.

And you would be correct, chev. It is a beautiful work of art.
That is exactly the reason I said this is waste of everyone’s time. There is no scandal except the self-made ones.
I dont think anything is wrong with this photo from my perspective i think it’s a beautiful work of art.
