co-sign. There is no way they did not sign off on the photos that were used.

Didn't Miley take racier photos by herself?

Disney's Official Response:
"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

Looks like they're going to stick by their teenybopper this time. More here:

Does Disney have its head stuck up its ass?

She took photos herself with some guy and posted them on the internet that were much worse than those.

Dumb skank.

Considering the fact that Disney still supported Vanessa Hudgens after nude photos surfaced, this comes to no surprise.

I think it is really creepy of a 15 yr old to pose like that... (and I'm also going to admit, those creepy pix of her & her dad are scary too).

I honestly think she's doing it (or her parents were saying the shoot was OK) because her Dad wants to pimp her out for as long as he possibly can since his career didn't work out too well... hence the "best of both worlds" Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus concert/CD. She's always been known as Hannah Montana and she's not getting younger, neither are her fans, so she's trying to broaden her fanbase so she can be marketed differently and still bring in the dough.

All my coworkers are predicting a Lindsay Lohan/Britney Spears episode a few years down the road...

I've seen better pictures and I have also seen worst (and I agree that the one with her dad is creeper that the shot with the sheet). What 3 to 10 year old is going to go out and buy Vanity Fair? The kids wouldn't have known if it wasn't on TV every five minutes. And did we just forget about Jamie Lynn? This could be a whole lot worst.

Someone said this maybe a good move because she is 15 and she won't be doing Hannah Montana forever. Maybe this will help her grow her fan base. I remember when people were mad that Hillary Duff left Lizzie McGuire when she was 15-16. Her fans have gotten older with her and it works. I can't see Miley being in her mid-20s still doing shows on Disney Channel like some others. *cough*RavenCheatahGirls*cough*

I also agree with t*p as well. I don't think she will turn out to be like Lindsey because I think she's more level-headed than that, but maybe like Mary-Kate and Ashley.

I don't necessarily consider this level headed.

[jitterbug13]

^^^^
At least she's not shaven her head and trying to attack photographers with her umbrella.

[nittanyalum]

^^^Yeah, and not like Mary-Kate and Ashley are all that normal either.

Not to sound like a pedofile, but I have seen worse by what my little sister shows me on her friends' myspace pages. That is typical of what I have seen of that age group according to stupid myspace pictures. Kids that age want attention from their peers. That is what those appear to me.

Now, are they smart to take when you are an international star? No!

Give it a few years....lol.

I feel bad for all these teen celebs. I can't think of very many who ended up ok meaning they're not messed up in the head as adults or they don't have a drug problem. Brooke Shields, Ron Howard. Is that it? My mind is going blank.

[nittanyalum]

^^^Rick Schroeder! I love me some Ricky.

[lilzetakitten]

Mowry twins, but they're not in the spotlight so much anymore. Drew Barrymore managed to level out.

Tia & Tamara Mowry (and their brother Taj)
Ben & Fred Savage
Candace Cameron-Bure
Alyssa Milano
Sean Astin
Elijah Wood
Jodie Foster
Christina Ricci
Haley Joel Osmont
Jaleel White (Steve Urkel)

These are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head
