I thought the picture of her reclining on her father were almost worse. Regardless I think it will soon be Selenaland.

I think you mean "skyrocket to fame in 2008" not "2009" Pop

I don't get the big deal about the VF shoot. I also don't get the big deal about Miley.

I don't get hype either. I think the best thing about her doing the VF shoot is that now she has expressed an interest in photography and sees Leibovitz as something of an idol.

I don't think these pictures were scandalous at all. Can we just forget about Miley Cyrus all together.

I completely forgot about these. The pictures didn't even come out nice... I wouldn't go back to that photog. Miley's got a case of WannaGrowUpTooFastitis... eventually she'll get there and will regret pushing the clock.

Uggh I was always the opposite and I still don't wanna grow up. *licks her lollypop (in a cute way)*

I lost major respect for Annie for taking the pictures. She did what she was told to do. Her dad should have said no anyway. I don't see the big deal except that little girls love her. There are even a few songs of hers I sing because they are fun. Another media meal ticket...it's sad really.

That picture is so awful!

The Teen Choice picture made her look like a Sound of Music kid.

Gosh - Cover your backs, girls, & don't go to the beach unless you're COMPLETELY COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOE! There was nothing wrong with that photo-shoot. Since when are dress codes so... (for lack of a better word) Talibanish? Other girls/women showed "more" of their bodies getting in/out of cars, much less "every day wear" - Unless you have Swiss cheese for brains no names need be mentioned! Have any of you seen news reports from spring break & college girls - They're like 18ish?

The truly "scandalous" thing was nobody calling out the people responsible for getting "crotch shots" of certain girls/women celebrities. Was no-one else disgusted or shocked by how CLOSE someone had to get to get THOSE shots? That was absolutely criminal! Reminded me of pervs taking hidden shots of girls/women in public bathroom stalls/changing rooms.

That was so absurd. There is a frantic phobia in the US about the sexuality of children. Rather than letting teenagers experience their sexuality gradually until adulthood, they are treated like children until they are free to sleep around and get drunk in college making fools of themselves and embarrassing our country abroad.

This is a picture of a teen learning to be sexy, and enjoying her youth. It was classy, well done, and almost hid her chipmunk face, not an easy feat! The only ones who found this scandalous were Christian fundies who get their panties tied up in a knot because they were forced to suppress any feelings of sensuality.

That being said, I hope we see a lot less of this one soon.

I hope the hype around her dies down in 2009, I kind of want her to disappear because IMO she is annoying and isn't as talented as people think. She's growing up way too fast.

The picture of her naked back didn't disturb me when I first saw it. Miley's complexion in that photo looked worse...she looked pasty and ghostly. I'm sure that was the purpose of the shot, but it didn't suit Miley.

Anyway, don't see the hype around her. I've seen a couple of Hannah Montana episodes with my nieces, plus her concert. Her vocals are not impressive and sometimes she overacts her scenes.

she's way overrated, as is everything else in the mouse house.

I really like Miley to be honest. I don't think the pictures are offensive.

I don't see the big deal about these pics and I kinda like the one where she is with her dad. My friend and her dad have a close relationship and I could see them posing like that.

The picture of her naked back didn't offend me, but she certainly looked ghoulish in the face area. Nas-tay.

so is there like no gossip anymore?

she looks awful in that picture.. she also looks bad in the picture with her dad

Omg she shouldnt apologize because its too late she already toke the picture

still ridiculous. I hate Miley so much. You shouldn't do that when you have 8 year old girls who look up to you. Come on now.

But then you shouldn't make videos of yourself slamming other Disney stars either.

she's a horrible role model.

how are you a bad role model for taking a tasteful photo? is she a bad role model for (gasp) owning a back??? Should she act like an 8 year old?

The problem I had with the picture is not that she had exposed her back, it was that it looked like an "after-sex" picture (as well as a terrible photo in general) and it is not really appropriate when she wants to be a good role model to young girls. Her words, not mine.

Silvers, it's not just "Christian fundies" who necessarily have a problem with this photo. It's mostly moms (I am not one btw) that I have noticed have a problem with this picture because their girls look up to Miley. I'm not saying that exposing your back is wrong, like I said before, it's what it implies.

P.S. Miley is the one who claims to have strong Christian values. I can understand that she was probably manipulated, but I still don't think this photo is tasteful for a 15 year old.

I don't think it's so much the Vanity Fair pictures in general. It's that added onto many other pictures of her that have surfaced on the internet. And then how she is this big religious person who is constantly apologizing for everything she does. It doesn't add up.

i lovee miley buht srsly im SO sick of her scandals.

XO

Let the young have their life and have fun doing so!
