Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Photos

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus appeared in photos in an article in Vanity Fair from the German online edition. The photos were taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz. The pictures are captioned in German without translation, but if you’d like to check out all of the photos, go here.

It looks like Miley news is quite the buzz these days eh?

UPDATE: Miley Cyrus apologized for racy photos and Vanity Fair shoot.

Is there any chance the Cyrus and the Spears families are related somewhere in their bloodlines?

How does the saying go - “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”?
Sex sells! Yes, and the devil’s buying up too many little girls’ souls.

For me? Last year I blocked the Disney channel, had enough, period. They’re practically giving away old kid-friendly VHS tapes in thrift stores………

I think it is ridiculous that the picture with the ’satin sheet’ was taken. Considering her age, the photographer must have not been thinking. I think the photographer was that Annie L. This should not be something Cyrus considers a mistake, but something the photographer should be highly embarassed and questioned about. If I had a daughter, and she was this age and was in a photo like this, I would have a problem. Maybe it would be more appropriate in a few years, but Annie, have you lost your Fu$%ing mind? I mean, at some point, you have to ask yourself if it is a good idea for the subject of your photo, and not just a money maker for you!

I’m surprised as it being Vanity Fair that is bringing these underage provocative pics out. Normally they produce decent good taste pictures. Someone let these ones slip under the radar and should answer for that.

Personally, I dont find this surprising.. But not on Miley’s part. My guess is,. cyrus trusted this photographer’s judgement, and got burned. We all know that everytime a new pop star emerges, everyone is just waiting for them to turn sex god, and this photographer knew it. You can get a lot of glory by screwing someone else over, and they took that chance as soon as it hit them.
Maybe she thought that the sheet pose would be beautiful… Maybe the only country video she’s ever seen was Fatih Hill’s “Breathe” and she thought that was the way country folks like to be pictured…
To Cyrus: girl, I’m sorry you had to brought up in all of this.
And about the photos in her underwear… Get over yourselves, guys. It’s nothing thousands of young girls have their myspaces RIGHT NOW. Just because she’s famous, she can’t have fun like a normal 15 year old girl.

I saw the pic and didn’t really even think anything of it. I think if it didn’t even make it on the radar screen it wouldn’t have been a discussion point. I think that we blow things WAY out of proportion in the USA.

Granted, I wouldn’t want my daughter in that pose, but I wouldn’t have let her do it.

Ogre said...

First, PROVOCATIVE and underage…NOT illegal. Remember Brooke Shields? Second, it is safe to assume that MC’s parents had a say in the shoot. Third, SEX SELLS! VF likely wanted something sexy, and NOBODY knows what was in MC’s or her parents minds. PERSONALLY, I like the shot with the sheet and do not find it overly provocative… as someone said, Less than what you see on facebook these days.

Jaden said...

Funny… I made a prediction about this sort of thing happening a long time ago.

I have nothing against Miley. She can do what she likes. But I’m having a very hard time accepting the idea that’s “apologizing” for the pics. I hadn’t even HEARD of them until she apoligized. Sounds like a marketing scheme to me.

Remember how much fame the girl from HSM got? Miley figured out a way to get just as much.

With that being said… people ought to get off her back.

If you are a 15 year old girl that poses nearly naked for magazines, and also is on film tonguing one of your girlfriends, yes, I guess you are going to be “popular.” Not the kind of popularity one may necessarily want just to make a buck. Bet Woody Allen will offer her a movie role, no? No more Miley (or any Cyrus) for my family. Glad we couldn’t afford the $800.00 concert tickets-guess we got the last laugh after all!

Ms. B said...

Jaden: Right- people will get off of Miley’s back when Miley gets off her back! lol

Jamie said...

I’m very liberal minded, but people are mad because the 15 year old has a satin sheet wrapped around her (seemingly) nude body. Hair looks like she just got done rolling around in bed. The sexual undertone is clear and a completely opposite direction from her ‘wholesome’ persona.

MiShKa said...

I love the picture its very artistic. People are making such a big deal about it. Its not like the girl is showing any private parts of her boddy. If you find this picture disturbing, then you simply have a dirty mind. Also let’s not forget we were young too… and if you think simply because this picture came out, your kids are going to go wild…its not the picture’s fault its yours.

Truth Giver. said...

I like it. You see, we are still stuck in the ‘modern’ way of thinking, that kids are still kids. When you see the Internet revolution take hold of kids like it has, it is obvious that they are growing up fast and furious. Technically speaking, that is, scientifically speaking, a girl becomes a woman when she starts menstruating. This has been the age-old definition of womanhood that stood until the industrial revolution. As life is cyclic, we seem to be going back to that period, and as such, this woman posing with a bare back doesn’t bother me one bit nor should it for anybody else, unless of course you are unable to understand human history and/or are cursed with a narrow mind.

Cheers.

i’m not surprised AT ALL
i don’t really have anything against her,
but the short skirts, and her youtube videos
it just hints at this type of thing happening

it’s not just the photographers fault for this
she’s the one that wasn’t wearing a shirt, seriously
this type of thing was done to get more people to talk about her
and sadly it’s working.

Holy shit america has become way to uptight. I just saw the pic and seriously not a big deal at all. I think u parents need to take a look at ur daughters myspaces I most likely you’ll see a lot worst.

oh please…this hot little babe is gonna be pregnant before she is 17. Frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me if ole Billy Ray is tapping her himself. Like it would be the first time some white trash hillbilly practiced incest.

Whats surprising is the indignation…i mean, who cares? Its HOLLYWOOD crap people!!!

I just wish it was full frontal.

ummmmmm….somebody start the clock. When this turns 18, it’s gonna be a very nice addition to Hustler. She’s an addict in training

You all need to leave Miley Cyrus alone! This was her choice and it’s not like she posed completely nude for Playboy, she was under a satin sheet with jeans on for a Vanity Fair, a classy magazine targeted at females. This wasn’t to get guys to buy this magazine or follow up on the saying “Sex sells.” and I honestly don’t think that Miley Cyrus wanted all of this gossip to come out of an artistic photo shoot. She is only 15, but her Disney Channel phase is coming to an end and she is growing up. She’s a teenager and she is just trying to find herself and where she should be in the world, whether it be a model, actress, singer or anything else. If this photo shoot made her happy that’s all that mattered. And quite honestly when I saw this picture I thought “This is what everyone is talking about? Is this the right picture for sure?” And it was, and I don’t think it was “very risque.” This is completely blown out of proportion. Leave Miley Cyrus alone!

You people are idiots, so what if someone took a photograph of a 15 year old in satin sheets? If you find that sexy then you’re the one with the problem.

You see girls her age and younger on the beach and walking about town all the time, wearing bikini’s, that leave nothing to the imagination but I don’t hear you moaning about that. Walk around your local mall for 5 minutes and you’ll see teenagers everywhere wearing next to nothing during the summer months and they are the peers of your children and much more of an influence than some Disney kid.

You obviously know nothing about teenagers if you think she didn’t know exactly what she was doing when she agreed to be shot like that, It’s only the idiotic over- reaction of people like you that made her speak out and pretend she was clueless.

People are blaming the photographer when everyone (including miley’s parents) know what type of photos she takes. They didn’t force her and she saw the end result long in advance of them coming out. So stop feeding into the hysteria, which inevitably is only going to sell more of that issue.

People are making way to much of this. This is NOT Brittany or The other hoochie mama type behavior. Its a young lady Not an adult, I admit that but ive watched the filming of it and the photos and people are making her sound like somekinda slut or horrible person with bad parents. EVERYBODY has a right to an opinion and they thought(her and her parents) they were okay and I think they are okay and if your opinion differs, DONT read it! Your ALL going to go look online and or buy the magazine and feed the frenzy, make them more money and THAT is the reason things like this happen because WE as NOSY americans(me included) Pay, buy, ask for it and things like it. This topic could be argued all day if you want so get over it and get on with life. If you dont like it or her simply boycott her and or disney. ryan OKC

Yes, I agree with Cyrus I am pretty sure the magazine had the fault. So yes I accept her apologyzes but she also has to be more careful to what and to whom she poses for…and how she does it

MOTHER MARY WAS 15 WHEN SHE BIRTHED JESUS…SHAKESPEARE’S JULIET WAS 14, RIGHT? ALL THRU HISTORY EXCEPT FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS, GIRLS MILEY’S AGE COULDA HAD A COUPLE KIDS ALREADY. I SURE WOULD LIKE TO BY HER BABY, EVEN IF SHE WAS PENNILESS IN KENTUCKY. I THINK SHE COULD HANDLE IT. SO WHERE IS ALL THIS HARSH JUDGEMENT COMING FROM? AND THE PHOTO WITH HER DAD - IT IS A DAD WITH HIS DAUGHTER - BIG DEAL! THOSE JUDGING…THE EVIL IS IN THEIR MINDS.

MC said...

Once again.. Alot less then what we see on Myspace, Facebook, or Tagged. Give the girl a break. All you see is back her back and shoulder. Remember Lindsay Lohan’s Raw album? She showed alot more skin, in a less artistic and more provocative way… And no one went on a psycho bashing spree over that.

I bet most that the myspaces of most of your children have alot worse pictures than that. Fix your own problem before you check out someone else’s. Then we can talk.

Personally, I hate her.. But this is nothing to bash her about. In fact, it’s alot classier than her Disney stuff. She just matured a little bit in my book.

okay, listen. i understand she’s only 15 and maybe she shouldn’t have do that. but, just try to look at the bright side of this situation ! these photos are amazing ! she looks perfect there and i wish her more so good photoshots. ;))

Miley will inevitably grow up to be a politician. I see this is trying to get away with something. But when your constituency catches you in the act and does not endorse it, you claim innocence and blame it on everyone else. Miley is one of the many pieces of trach in this country who get what they can until they are caught. TAG! YOU’RE IT!

I don’t think Miley should worry about her photo’s!
She’s a young girl who is growing up, Yeah maybe a bit to fast but people change!
She said herself she wants to drop the young generation of fans that love Hannah Montana and I personally think thats right!
She’s not going to be young forever!
Miley should keep her head up and not to worry about anything apart from her future!!!
People should also know that fame changes you no matter how hard you try to stay truthful!

I don’t think it’s an appropriate shot for someone her age.. But, the picture of her laying back on her dad is the picture that worries me. Who does that kind of pose with their daughter. Messed up family.

Holy cow, people!! Grow up!! I feel so sorry for Miley, she doesn’t need this kind of stress in the media. We all know Miley Cyrus is a ‘good girl’ and a great role model, so this is EXACTLY why the media is trying to hype this up!! They WANT a scandalous story, and you are all falling for it~ Has anyone seen the OTHER photos of Miley in the magazine, where she is fully clothed?? Or how about the photos of the actual photoshoot? Miley is wearing PANTS (you can even see the black outline of a covered leg in the ‘racy’ photo) so it’s not like she is NAKED…and come on, has NO ONE here EVER worn a tube top or halter top?? The point is miley is COVERED and though she looks like she’s grasping the ’shirt’ to cover herself, the truth is, the item is actually clinging to her. it’s just a photo! If tube-top = shirtless, does that make Miley topless in this pic:

Yes, Vanity Fair is a distasteful choice for Miley’s parents and publicists, but this poor girl is just a victim of the magazine, which is desperately looking for media attention and a way to sell magazines!! I just hope Miley will stay strong and push past this stupid ordeal

CyanideFilledCandy said...

It’s a photo; shut up! Get over it!

Sure, it probably wasn’t smart for her to take the photo, but she’s a victim of the media. The media these days only shows crap and writes crap (which is why I DON’T read magazines, listen to the radio or watch TV!!) Media other than vanity fair are aslo going to twist it so that she looks like a bad person or a fast girl.

Don’t go blaming Miley about this! It’s not her fault! She’s only a 15 YEAR OLD GIRL!!!! At least she wasn’t completely nude! And maybe it was bad judgment for her parents to let her do it, but people make mistakes! GET OVER IT!!! I hope Miley stays positive and doesn’t let this incident ruin her life!

Also, about the other “racy” photos of her. She’s a teen! Teens do that! SHUT UP!!! Let the girl be! Is someone going to have to post a “Leave Miley Alone!” video now?

oh shit whats wrong with her?? doesnt she know that most of her fans are 10 year old kids that are looking up to her?? bitch

omg! would people just the leave the girl alone. wow just because her back is showing she is a bad role model! are you kidding me…..people need to leave her alone she is only 15!!!! people are taking this way to far they are nothing bad!

Why is everyone freaking out about this? Yeah she is 15 years old and she is very beautiful what do you expect. I thought the picture was amazing and i’m very proud of her for being able to come out of her shell and showing her natural beauty. And knowing her father, you know he wouldn’t have allowed the photo shoot to go on if he thought is little girl was going to look like she was naked or too sexy. She isn’t pregnant, doing drugs, and getting wasted at clubs. So there is nothing to worry about. Every girl under 17 loves Miley and i think out of all the under age girls that are famous, she has presented herself very well.

It looks to me, by many of the comments here stating that there is nothing wrong with the provocative pics, that many of you are probably teen-agers or have no children. I say that because no parent in their right mind would allow a provocative pic of their daughter be printed in a magazine that will be circulated all over the world. What the hell were her parents thinking? And I am also shocked that Annie Lebowitz would have been the one to take it!
