...and Pepperdine grads! I think Taj is a student there now. Anyway, I had a class with one of the girls once, and they really are just as animated and as nice as they seem on TV. Everyone liked them.

LOL Jitterbug! Those Cheetah Girls are ALL grown. Kiely has a baby for crying out loud! They need to go back to 3LW.

Miley HAS taken worse pics by herself and those types of pics are very typical of a tween/early teen myspace. It's so sad...

But that does not stop me from jamming to her CDs, at least the lyrics are wholesome even if she can't be. Celebrities are not role models, parents should stop freaking out over this and raise their damn kids because Disney channel and Nickelodeon are not going to do it for them.

As for her father, his country music career is doing well. He has no need to live off her. He just did a tour and had a CMT reality show to cover it. And he hosted the CMAs (with her, but he still hosted). He also is on her show so he's getting his own paycheck for that. I really think more or less them working together is an excuse for them to be together, not for him to ride her coattails. I liked her more b/c who her dad is. I was shaking my toddler booty to "Achy Breaky Heart" and watching "Doc" before I ever heard of Miley Cyrus.

She has a baby? They're over 21...but still....

[BabyPiNK_FL]

They don't mention it ever anywhere! But Kiely has a son. They do a good job at keeping it under wraps. I was a huge 3lw fan so I remember hearing it and being like what?! I believe she addressed it briefly. It was during all that down time they had before they had the falling out with Naturi.

PSS--- Kirstin Dunst might qualify. She checked herself into rehab, but it has been said it was stress and Heath Ledger's death related... it has also been said cuz she parties hard, but the truth never really reared its head so we don't know

Annie Leibovitz, the celebrity photographer, has been accused of "manipulating" a 15-year-old pop star into posing semi-naked for Vanity Fair magazine.

Miley Cyrus, a teen idol and star of the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana, was pictured apparently topless, with a satin bedsheet protecting her modesty.

Miley Cyrus has maintained a squeaky-clean image
Exclusively for Vanity Fair by Annie Liebovitz. The June issue of Vanity Fair hits newstands on May 1st

Initially, Cyrus declared herself happy with the shot, declaring it "really artsy".

Thoughts? I work in a bookstore; I'm horrified to think of the, er, new customers Vanity Fair will get for this issue.

The pic was slightly risque but not that big a deal. If Roger Clemens had sex with her it would have been a better story.

Does anyone recall if people thought Katherine Heigl's role in the movie My Father the Hero was too risque for her age? All I remembered was that she did a few covershoots for Seventeen and Teen. I think she was about 14 when she made it. But Katherine never really had that tween star status.

[DSTCHAOS]

The photos aren't tasteless but they are unnecessary for a CHILD.

I don't care what 15 year olds are doing in this youtube and myspace ERROR. 15 year olds shouldn't be presented with an image of having a sheet covering them up. Whether there are clothes under the sheet means nothing for the image being depicted.

Everyone's to blame because Vanity Fair AND her camp shouldn't have thought it was cute, creative, sexy, or whatever for us to see a 15 year old in that manner. Her myspace photos are dumb, too, and Miley and her camp need to take a page from Raven Samone's book. That's if people don't get tired of seeing Miley altogether.

Hey...if Brittany Spears did it.....Disney must not have a problem....


Think about it.

That reminds me...let me take you all back....

1976 (for some of you...waaay before your time) to a little film called Taxi Driver....

Deniro
Keitel
Cybil Sheppard

and very very young Jodie Foster playing the role of a 13 year old prostitute ( and yes a lil' flesh was seen) and remember, Hinkley shot Reagan for her....LOL

Think about it.

Britney Spears was a Disney employee beyond doing The New Mickey Mouse Club when she was 11?

I never knew that.

Uh huh and Brooke Shields once did a movie where she played a child prostitute. So?

Umm, ok, NO. NO NO NO NO NO.

Jodie Foster had to go through TONS of psychological testing to make sure taking the role wouldn't freak her out, and a body double (her older sister) was used for all the sex scenes.

There's no way you can compare a masterpiece like Taxi Driver to some pictures in Vanity Fair, myspace, whatever. It's apples and oranges.

Same with Pretty Baby, although I don't think Brooke's mom was as stable as Jodie's so who knows what went down on that set. I have to believe that Susan Sarandon would have kicked the ass of any skeezy dude who tried to mess w/ lil' Brooke though.

These are films that have held up and that have stellar performances. I seriously doubt if anyone is going to even remember Miley Cyrus and her teenybopper pop and silly show 3 years from now, let alone 30 years from now.

Her parents & manager wanted to try and get a more grownup image for her, people saw the pics and freaked out, and now they're backpedalling, IMO.

33girl...back in the day...Jodie Foster's appearance in that caused a bit of an uproar (as well as the subsequent gun scene) and didn't kill her career....this is what I am saying here...people getting bent out of shape over her pics.....geez...get a life...it's not like she is going to be the next Brittany Spears....

and for the one or 2 years that hannah Montana was a kid sensation...i don't think too many will likely forget that...if anything as her career goes forward...that would be her foundation.

and this is my whole point about Miley Cyrus?

She isn't appearing nude...what's the fuss????

You're tilting here for no real reason.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that your opinion actually agrees with the main point: sexualizing adolescents (especially girls) has been a part of culture (and legitimate art) for centuries, and this example is just another silly data point. You're agreeing with this premise implicitly in this post - which I think is good, because I think it's borderline self-evident, and it should give a lot more context to why this should not be the shit circus it has become.

I can't believe this is even causing an issue, to be honest. Maybe girls will imitate and do something stupid, but that's always been a challenge and always will be - why is your 15 year old reading Vanity Fair?

The media scrutiny will do as much harm as anything, in my mind.
