Hugh Hefner Invites Miley Cyrus To Playboy's Pages

"Extra" caught up with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion last night as Jayde Nicole was honored as the 2008 Playmate of the Year.

In light of Miley Cyrus' Vanity Fair photo controversy, Hefner told "Extra" that he would be open to featuring the Disney star in his own magazine, given she was of legal age. He said, "Sure, she'd be welcomed in the magazine. Very pretty lady. And I think to make such a big to do over something as innocent as those photos, I think is a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality."

Could I pay for my copy now?

People say it's insane that anyone is paying attetnion to this girl. Alot of us do because our children listen to her and so we are forced to as well. I think this whole thing was blown way out of proportion and it needs to stop. Especially EXTRA asking a question about her posing nude in Playboy. What the He!! She is 15 years old, and she showed her her back and shoulder. Hefner should have refrained from answering, but EXTRA should never have asked. If consenting adults want to pose and read Playboy, what can I say, but to involve a 15 year old taht makes my blood boil.

She showed a shoulder and her back. Was the picture suggestive? yes. Was it a good thing? In my opinion, no. Was it on par with Payboy? He!! no!

I wonder if she gets to the mansion, how much is Bill Maher gonna have to pay to hit it?????

Miley Cyrus is THE MOST OVERRATED person breathing. For God's sakes, I've seen young women on the street corner that are prettier.

Americans have GOT to be bored to be paying attention to this soon-to-be­-just-anot­her-Hollyw­ood-train-­wreck.

Ugh.

[Syco]

exactly

[Catharsis]

Thank the Maker for Hugh Hefner. Third behind Jack Nicholson and Ric Flair, perhaps, but a legend to be idolized.

[ENK727]

Did Hef really need to put this out there? As if she wasn't having enough problems lately

"And I think to make such a big to do over something as innocent as those photos, I think is a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality.­"

That is very true. Still, I frown on Hefner's motives here.

[Leper]

No motives. He was asked a question. He responded to it.

[Leper]

Wow! So many people who have bothered to comment about this didn't bother to read BOTH paragraphs.

First of all, he didn't just spout off. He was asked a question. He is allowed to answer questions. Last time I checked, this was still the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Hell, he has the right to spout off if he wants to, but he didn't he was asked, so all of you hyperventilating pervs ought to slow down or get a paper bag.

Second, he clearly stated that she would have to be "of legal age" which shows _some_ responsibility on his part.

Third, he is right that the whole argument is a "reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality.­" Last time I checked, the naked back wasn't a reproductive organ.

[preemptivelove]

this isn't about americans being schizophrenic about sex. this is about the objectification and sexualization of a 15 year old child. she's NOT of legal age. she's 15!!!!!!

since when is it required to show a reproductive organ to suggest sexuality???? that's pretty dumb, seeing as they're on the inside of the body. to wrap a child in a bed sheet and to show her partially nude is to package her as a sex object. and millions of little girls look to this child as a role model. i for one would rather have my daughter have a more elevated sense of what is possible for a girl in this world. but NO. they strip this child's clothes off and give her a look that isn't really appropriate for a child.

sexualizing children is outrageous. and linking her future to heffner, implying somehow that the world his her oyster if she just takes her clothes off is a very sad commentary.

Have you been to a public beach or swimming pool lately? If you think Ms Cyrus' pictures are "sexualized", your head would probably explode if you saw what the under 18 set wears to swim. Hefner is right. The flap over those pictures is bizarre and hypocritical.

[eliceo]

GOD AMERICA!!!!!
get off the soapbox!

there are worse things in life than being a bit sexual!! you people ( and by people i mean the sanctimonious "moral majority") are so judgemental!

always up in everyone's business..­...ITS the parents job to PARENT!!!! change the channel, dont buy the book, or turn off the song if its sooooo offensive

its always the puritanical nut jobs that are always projecting this holier than thou routine because theyre always the ones doing something even more FILTHY than the rest of us!!!!!

Freaking yokels....­..its always the hicks and bible thumpbers isnt??!!!

there i'm done venting!

[Raymondf]

This country doesn't have a moral majority anymore it's the moral minority.

[Ariesjill]

What I will never understand­....is why anyone isn't clear that every single female who has ever hooked up with Mr. Hefner isn't basically a hooker? U think even none....wi­th maybe an exception or two from back in the day....are in it for the normal, delicious, knee-weaking CHEMISTRY AND mindless merging ECSTACY?

Does the sex for money earn some quantum leap into something other than what it is above a certain level? Kinda like crazy people with money are not crazy but "eccentric"?? Is is about mansions? Tiny, prohibitibely priced, inbred canines? The color pink? Ferraris? Fur seal thongs?

What I will never understand even MORE......­does THE OLD MAN WITH THE BLUE PILLS & the gaggle of bottle blonds with the implants, & the faked sexuality not actually GET THIS????????

[aristippe]

old lecher

[Anonani]

How sad! She is a child and any responsible "man" would have pointed that out rather than suggest that there was even a remote possiblity that she end up in Playboy. Such salacious comments are not surprising in a world where nothing is more important that profit. Whatever happened to the Moral Majority?

Our children's childhood is being stolen earlier and earlier in each generation.

[McSameisthegame]

The Moral Majority was neither! Hopefully their third century ideas died when that fat bigot, Jerry Falwell met his maker-in HELL!

[longislandlol]

Yuck...

[heal57]

Billy Ray and his wife have brought her up right. She doesn't need money from Hefner. This is a non-story anyway.

heal - you mean Billy Ray Boo Bob.......­. Be Bop She Bop??? "Brought her up right," you say. Sheeeit man, what are you talking about??

[LeftLeanWing]

Miley has one more year in the spotlight.­..... Then she will disappear for a few years; get her nose Did and some acting lessons; then watch for Miley Cyrus 2.0...
