Topless on TV: The Miley Cyrus / Vanity Fair Saga
I know how Miley feels. I too was a little embarrassed by my recent topless "scandal" and the subsequent parodies, but I am an adult woman.

This is a major wake-up call to American parents. I have to ask, where are Miley's parents in all this? Have they not seen what happened to Britney Spears?
Great Head at the Midtown Tunnel
The naked woman was on her back, cupping a breast in each hand, with her legs crossed and bent at the knees. Next to her was an iced bucket of twinkling long neck beers grazing her thigh.
Is Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Issue a Repeat of Brooke Shields in the 80's?

Cyrusgate could just be a massive publicity stunt. There's nothing like a controversy to drive sales. But, I don't think anyone in marketing at Vanity Fair is that smart. So what is this really about?

So while Miley was being photographed by Annie Liebowitz where were her parents or a rep from Disney to curtail to having such provocative photographs of her.
Poor kid. . .She's caught between the devil and the deep blue see. . .She's growing up, but it's not okay to show that you are sexual.
"Money! It's a hit..."
Disney rep says: "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."
How unfair when Disney doesn't get to exclusively deliberately manipulate this 15-year-old for themselves. Miley belongs to Disney, don't you know?
Are they fighting over her body in public? Who else wants a piece of this girl? Huff Po? TIME?
If you check out the pictures on the Huff Po website today of Miley standing next to Minnie Mouse wearing her cute baby doll blue dress... Remember the film 'Baby Doll'? A real resemblance here in the Vanity Fair photo. And the other one of a normal teenage girl in jeans and a top lounging.
At 15 years, a girl can portray all of these ages-- in one day. It is an ambiguous time between little girl and young woman. The Vanity Fair photo captures this ambiguity in a seductive way.
Yawn. Is this news? OMG, Disney, you know how to get column space everywhere !!!
Can we all just agree not to publsh any stories about Disney. Maybe they'll just go away somewhere, like to China?
Her daddy is embarrassed? That is telling, isn't it? How about he is concerned for his daughter? No he is embarrassed. This isn't healthy folks. First he has his daughter photographed by a very talented but adult photographer. Then he isn't happy he doesn't control her image? Daddys who are so involved with the body image of their daughters? How many train wrecks in Hollywood do you have with over involved Daddys?
How many over-involved Daddys buy tickets to this marketing monster production. People go nuts for these tickets. It is obscene.
The photo is weird. The poor girl looks like she is made up like a dead body. Pale skin, strange lips. Did she sit up from a slab?
Its not news anymore, been on huffpo for a week now. enough is enough. the pictures are a non news item.
