| Is Hanna Montana a tainted product, now?
Posted: 4/28/2008 3:58:54 PM | Personally, I think that the photos in Vanity Fair of Myley Cyrus are beautiful and are ART. This is not the butt floss of the rear-end of Brittany, nor is it the lingere of Madonna 20 years ago, both of which started a trend that encouraged young teens to grow up faster than their years. At moments like this I wish I was European. The Europeans do not have the silly issues with the female form or sexual issues that Americans do. We lust and exalt violence in our culture when it would be "healther" to appreciate the human form and it's beauty. Written by a former art model.

Posted: 4/28/2008 4:15:50 PM | I haven't seen the pictures,....(haven't been to any offices with a waiting room lately,...
but,.... tainted product?????
now a young girl is a product?????,....sheesh!
one difference worth considering with your comparrison's,...
Maddonna, Brittany.... etc,...
Myley,...is a teenager,...barely even mid teens in fact, at her tender age of 15,....
As such couple of things to consider,...
1,....she's a minor and some adult,...probably a parental unit would have had to OK the pictures,....
and 2 she's a minor therefore she can't decide anything on her own so any mistakes she makes aren't because she's a stupid ypoung woman checking her boundaries,...
these are mistakes being made by someone other than her,....
I get a good feeling from her dad but who knows what anyone is like in private these days so hopefully she has parents with their heads screwed on right,....
oh and the human form of any 15 year old still falls under the perview of not for public viewing,...that's, depending on the shot,....posession of which could get you arrested
PS Madonna,.....even 20 years ago was over 21 and an adult much as Brittany is supposed to be,.... | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 4:38:27 PM | I have no problem with nudity and the female form, I saw the pictures of Miley Cyrus, and I think they are beautiful... HOWEVER, like the last poster stated, she is just 15. Those pictures are in a sexual nature and 15 years old is not the right age to be portraying yourself in such a way. Where was Billy Rae when all this was taking place?
I can appreciate art and everything it brings, but half naked pictures of a 15 year old is not art. It's child porn.
Madonna did it when she was in her 20's and had established herself as a "contriversial" artist already. This was part of her shtick. Britney was also in her twenties and by the time she did provocative photos, she was already a train wreck.
Miley is a talented girl who's already made a huge name for herself and can continue to be something big in show business. I would hate to see the pressures of Hollywood turn her into another Spears or Lohan.
We lust and exalt violence in our culture when it would be "healther" to appreciate the human form and it's beauty
The problem with this, is that "lusting" over her pictures could land you in jail. | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 5:08:52 PM | that should teach the handler's (parents and other's) that you allways get final approval
well I now have seen the picture and I have also seen the behind the scenes and staging up to the shots,...the behind the scenes images do not match the final picture which leaves no doubt about which way they were wanting the audience to think,...it reminds me a lot of the movie lolita which I think also falls in the catagory of kiddie porn,...and personally objectionable,...
this site is of the behind the scenes photoes,.... http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/06/miley_slideshow200806?slide=1 there is one picture here that comes pretty close and had the parents previewed these or the originals the difference should have been obvious
the one that Vanity fair published I am sure you can find on your own,...if you choose | |

is what you're talking about, then I see nothing wrong with it.....hardly what i'd call porn- at the very least, by discussing it, we're doing what it was intended to do- cause scandal, and thus, publicity. | |

I like the picture myself, it was tastefully done (compared to what it could have looked like)... I just think it's unappropriate for a girl her age. When I look at this 15 year old girl, I'm thinking as a parent and how my 15 year old would never be posing for a picture like that. Maybe other parents would see it differently, but if she wants to pose, why does it have to be naked with a sheet?
I also don't think of it as a scandal either. Thanks to the gossip magazines, the tabloids will try to make a scandel out of anything. If a women is wearing a baggy top, she's pregnant or if she's lost 10 pounds she's anorexic. Why feed the media frenzy with a half naked picture of yourself?
I suppose you can call this a christening of sorts, Hollywood style. If people won't remember you for your talent, they'll remember this... I guess?
Meh, if she continues in the latest celebrity trend, she'll be getting pregnancy advise from Britney and the best rehab stays from Lindsay. | |

She can't play Hanna Montana forever.
Can't anyone in Hollywood write an original script anymore ? | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 6:27:35 PM | simply make it a crime to publish pictures of children not of legal age with less than "appropriate" dress on. Shrug....its a wonder this puritan society hasb't done so already.
Sure...she tainted "Hannah Montana"...but Disney will overlook this "indiscretion", this time.... | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 2:05:24 AM | She's a 15 year old girl and her parents should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting their daughter. Kids should be allowed to be kids. I believe if a person has strong values, beliefs, morals along with a healthy, positive upbringing they will not grow up fast at all nor give in to peer pressure.  | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 2:26:14 AM | No... it's nonsense. Woopdydoo, she shows more skin in a bikini than in that photo-shoot. Plus, you look at the pic they "selected" with her and her dad... and you know that Vanity Fair is playing dirty.
At the time of the shoot, the part of the photo shoot with both Miley and her father looked like "dad and daughter lounging around" and Vanity Fair specifically picked the photos that looked like they belonged in an Abercrombie & Fitch catelogue... I saw the rolling video of the shoot, I can't believe that they didn't pick "looks like father daughter" pics... instead they picked one that looked like they were probably going to going down on each other. It's ****ing ridiculous, and all Vanity Fair's fault.
She's not a tainted product... or "spiraling out of control" like some of the media suggested today. You want to see a star in trouble??? Look at The Olson Twins or Lindsey Lohan. They do drugs and are whores. If Miley ever did drugs, her father wouldn't hesitate to beat the crap out of her; I tell you what...
The only bad judgment involved here is that her guardians and her father seriously overestimated Vanity Fair... clearly, tabloid BULLSHIT is not beyond them. Nobody should trust Vanity Fair to take photos of them from now on. Vanity Fair is trying to remind people they exist; that's all this is about... magazine sales.
Stars Beware: Vanity Fair

Posted: 4/29/2008 6:19:15 AM | art.
hard to call it that. seeing as the images have been photographed a million times over.
I don't really care either way - I haven't the desire to see semi-nude pictures of a 15 year old girl made out to appear as a call girl. I do have to question the 'wisdom' of Billy Ray Cyrus, though - with Liebvovitz, you know where the shots are going to go, you know that despite professions of 'art,' the photos will be sexual in nature.
I have no daughters....but I can say for damn certain, that I wouldn't want my 15 year old in some of these poses. | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 6:33:15 AM | This kind of reminds me of the flak over the Grand Theft Auto games having hidden sex scenes in them. A game about drugs, murder, theft, and prostitution is fine, but let some cartoon characters have sex and parents are outraged!!
Go to a mall or any high school and you see young people wearing clothing that to me is much worse than anything I have seen for Cyrus. I am surprised her handlers allowed the pictures, but it is what it is.
If parents think she presents a bad image, just stop your kids for seeing it. Buy them a Grand Teft Auto game and some rap music and lock them away in their room for a few days. | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 6:37:07 AM | | It's just the continued sexualization of pre-teen girls. It isn't surprising, it's been going on forever To bad people will do just about anything for a dollar. It may cost her a few fans, but in the long run it will be forgotten about in a few weeks. We just have to wait for her first stint in rehab. | |

Since Cyrus is 15, I take it you mean the young girls who purchase her "products"?
The media publicity machine is only using her to get REAL issues off the people's minds.
This won't hurt her one bit, as it rockets her into the spotlight and exposes her to the next level of stardom.
Tragic for America that people give a damn about such garbage while ignoring the S.P.P.N.A. and our decent into a total survailance state. | |

I can appreciate art and everything it brings, but half naked pictures of a 15 year old is not art. It's child porn.
I've only seen the one cover pic and while it is tastefully done and I would not call it porn I would call it risque' and for a young woman her age I see no reason for it unless her gf took it to send to another boy her same age.
But now she can claim she was f-cked by the media and she is the victim and its free publicity so more people will buy the magazine. Which to me is all BS if the parents were standing right there when these photos were taken.
The parents should be punished -- they're not appropriate for a national or worldwide audience. But maybe her ratings were slipping so clothes have to, too. 
A sign of the times. | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 7:25:34 AM | | As was mentioned earlier, she can't play Hannah Montana forever. Sooner or later, she'll have to change her image. Probably, she (or her handlers, really) are test marketing a new, more sexualized image, an extension of the Miley Cyrrus brand that, if successful, will open up new revenue streams from perverts, horny boys and impressionable young girls. At the end of the day, if it pays off, we'll see more of this from her and from other younger stars (and their fans). | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 7:44:15 AM | The issue is more about her fans, than it is her. Her market is almost exclusively pre-teen girls, so the image she portrays affects her marketability to her fan base. Just like when Britney's little sister got pregnant, the marketing gurus at the network had to do some damage control. Perhaps as someone has posted ,she is trying to move beyond the tween market. I think she is a few years away from attracting a large adult fanbase.
She isn't a great actress, and I can't say I would recognize her music, as I'm not in the demographic it is marketed too. | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 7:46:36 AM | Miley tainted??? I did not see the photos. Vanity Fair is just not my cup of tea.
One would think from the headline, that she got pregnant or something like Britney Spears little sister, whats-her-name. See how quickly they fall from grace and blew all those millions, for being stupid.
But your right, show biz stars can not trust the press, all they want to do is buiuld them up, then slam them down. No wonder no child stars ever make it back to reality. | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 7:48:36 AM | Does anyone remember Brook Shields at age 12 in "Pretty Baby"? She plays a child prostitute, I think, in a brothel. (I may be wrong about this . . .. ) At the time I was totally overwhelmed by this. I mean, not my child. Anyway, I find the covers of some women's magazines with teen models under 16 with heavy make-up on and child beauty pagents (Jon Bene) as truly exploiting children.
I would imagine that some of the writers to this blog touring any art museum and viewing Manet, Correggio, Van der Goes, Titan, would all the nudes "porn". | |

Nope, as it probably fell in the category of chick flick, so I never saw it. I vaguely remember Blue Lagoon , which another film which launched her career, which could be considered exploitive. | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 10:58:34 AM | Why is it that while others struggle to make ends meet to provide for themselves and thier famillies, others are making billions & billions in profits!! This is what's truly SHAMEFUL of this so-called "Entertainment Industry"!
That money should be going to improving Health/Medical Care, Affordable Housing, etc, so that EVERYONE can enjoy a better quality of Life. I think it's time we set our priorities straight!!!
Here's an idea; DO NOT SPEND another cent on those overly-priced concert tickets, cd's, merchandise, etc!! Instead, take the time/money to help those who are in need! | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 11:02:45 AM | | Theres nothing wrong with the picture. It is nice, she is not showing anything innapropriate. Why are people making this more then what it is? I swear it's like they are waiting fot the other shoe to drop. They want and can't wait for her to go wrong and turn out like britney spears. She is nothng like brit and at least we can all be greatfull that miley wont be showing us he pootanannie for all the world to see like brit or paris and any other shameful young woman. Miley is on the right path, guided by her loving father. | |

Posted: 4/29/2008 11:07:18 AM | What are we talking about again? I looked at the pictures, and I don't see her taint at all.
I do know this: it is a lot more comfortable to run down famous strangers than to get my own shit together. Don't you folks agree?
BTW, bored, what about a "pedafile" ( ) who has copies of his own baby pictures? You want to lock him up for that?
Cheers!
