Title: Miley Cyrus

My daughters are too young for Hannah Montana, so we aren't in the loop on this. But is the fact that she bared her back for a photo shoot a big deal?

| Cyrus, whose fresh, easy charm and down-home southern appeal have catapulted her to an astonishing level of celebrity, especially in the past year, found herself having to apologize Sunday for some entirely un-Miley photos in Vanity Fair magazine. At a moment when she otherwise would have been relishing an amazing week — a deal for her memoirs (reportedly seven figures), the cover of People magazine and a feature in Vanity Fair — she issued a statement saying how embarrassed she was. This came almost certainly at the behest of worried executives at The Walt Disney Co., for whom she will reap a reported $1 billion this year. For the record, only Cyrus’ back and shoulders are bare in the most controversial shot by Annie Leibovitz, the renowned celebrity photographer. Many an Oscar-night gown would show as much skin. Cyrus herself told the magazine in an accompanying article that she found the photo, in which she gathers a sheet around her, “really artsy. It wasn’t in a skanky way. And you can’t say no to Annie.” But Cyrus IS 15, with a fan base that begins in preschool. And it’s what the photo suggests rather than shows — the idea that she might be nude, perhaps even in bed — that bothered some parents who poured their feelings onto blogs over the weekend. She wasn nude during the shoot, nor in bed, but she does have a subtle come-hither expression. Leibovitz said Monday that she and Cyrus had discussed the photos beforehand, and Vanity Fair said “Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day ... everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait.” As for Disney, it accused editors of creating a situation “to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old.” Disney declined to make anyone connected with “Hannah Montana” available to speak for this article. |

From what little I've bothered to read about this Miley Cyrus, I'm no fan....

Yes..it is a big deal. She is demonstrating sexuality and although it is normal in our cultural society, as Christians, such exhibition crosses the line of modesty. Remember, we are to be in the world, not of it, meaning not participating in, encouraging, or dismissing such things as overt sexual demonstrations such as baring skin that is normally covered.

ewwww
I would say she should not have done that given all the YOUNG influences she entertains...
Why would she do that? What's the point...can't be money.
Looks young enough to be child porn...(not that I would know)

Is her being Billy Ray's daughter reason enough? Can't stand that guy, either.
I saw her picture in Country Weekly waaaaaaaaaay back when. She was very cute as a little kiddie and I recall telling hubby that she's gonna grow up probably doing some nasty stuff. Huh....looky now. :doh:

I think it's a big deal. Andie's just now starting to get into Hannah Montana, her friend is REALLY into her, and I just don't think it's a good thing for a role model of young girls to do. Not that 5-year-olds have access to those pics but the older ones may.

She said that she realized it was a mistake and has apologized for upsetting her fans. It wasn't until after she saw the pictures that she realized what was happening. You're right, Squat, she's young enough for that to be child porn. And, at that age, you cannot expect her to recognize up-front what's happening. It's so easy to get caught up in the swing of things and lose track of where you are. Haven't we all done that?
Our local Christian station asked us to call in with opinions, and most of the callers were gracious enough to understand that each of us makes mistakes - even if we're the Christians we claim to be. Give her a break. See if it happens again. If it continues, then you have a reason to be worried. If you never see it again, then she will be vindicated.

Is it just me or if you tint the hair green does she look like female kiddie version of the joker....
She prolly did it to feel all grown up and didnt' realize what a big deal it was... dunno what Billy Ray was thinking.....
I actually like them both as performers, I like the show, and I like his previous show Doc.... (well what little I saw of it)
