Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair Causes Controversy
Miley Cyrus, star of Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana, has been doing a lot of apologizing as of late for some more candid photos that surfaced online and some near-topless pictures that will be appearing in an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair.
The fact that Miley is 15 years old is the main cause of conflict in this whole debacle, most of which focuses on the magazine shoot, along with the fact that Miley is a role model to a legion of loyal fans that really look up to her.
While the photos are supposed to be artsy, it’s pretty obvious to see why the Vanity Fair pictures would be causing such a commotion – considering Miley looks like she’s the living undead in the photos that were previewed by Entertainment Tonight.
Miley told People Magazine, “My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie [Leibovitz]. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed.”
Even before this Vanity Fair controversy began, Hannah Montana ran into some other problems with some random pictures of her with some friends and an ex-boyfriend surfacing that weren’t really all that much worse than you could find on MySpace in about…three minutes.
In terms of the candid photos, it all felt very reminiscent of how people loved to make a big deal about the Ramiele Malubay photos that surfaced while she was on American Idol, which I didn’t feel like were a big deal. In hindsight, the controversy with the Miley pictures does feel more justified than the hoopla surrounding High School Musical star Vanessa Anne Hudgens
, simply because again, Miley is 15 years old. The Vanity Fair spread definitely seems to be worth the controversy and buzz that it’s creating.
Miley is the near-epitome of clean, innocent Disney fun. Now, with a photo shoot that could even be even more buzzworthy than the fabled Lindsay Lohan shoot in New York Magazine (NSFW), considering that Miley Cyrus has to be one of the most popular celebrities in the world, hopefully the Queen of everything Disney, the movie box office, and even American Idol’s Idol Gives Back can try to maintain her squeaky clean image amidst the turmoil.
UPDATE: The Hollywood Gossip has posted more pictures of the photoshoot
(which to me, seems not too bad) and you can check them out over there.
