Miley ain’t smiley

The latest controversy that’s got everyone a-buzzin’ is Miley Cyrus’s photoshoot for Vanity Fair. The issue with the story has yet to hit newsstands, but the Disney cash cow is already apologizing. Miley Cyrus

In one of the photos, which were shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, Miley is wrapped in a bedsheet, with her back exposed. She pretty much appears to be topless. Miley also poses with her then-boyfriend in other shots. Of course, for the parents of her young fans and the Disney Channel, this does not translate very well. Cue in the apology:

“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…I am truly sorry if I disappointed anyone.”

While the photo is very pretty, Miley is only 15-years-old with a wholesome image to keep up with. It wasn’t in good taste of Vanity Fair to ask a teenager to pose in a provocative manner, though they maintain that Miley’s parents were on set the whole day.

We get that even teen queens need to feel sexy once in a while, but can’t you just make kissy faces in the privacy of your own room?
