Miley -- Miles from Reality on VF Shoot

Posted Apr 28th 2008 1:45PM by TMZ Staff

Miley Cyrus might be boo-hooing about this Vanity Fair shoot, but we're told that her parents were with her "the entire time" and that they knew everything that was going on. So any suggestion that Annie Leibovitz tricked Miley into taking racy shots are absurd: "There was no subterfuge," we're told.

Well-placed sources at Vanity Fair say that the mag is "happy for all the press -- we're selling magazines, after all," and when it comes to Miley's suggestion that the legendary Leibovitz got her to take a topless shot, "Are you going to believe Annie Leibovitz or Miley Cyrus?"

For her part, Leibovitz said in a statement, "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted."

46. Good LORD, people! If she and her family are so shocked and upset by this photo shoot then ban the damn magizine, stop the press and STF up! You can not convince me that a sheet draped over an underage girl could ever be ARTISTIC. What is is EFFing wrong with her parents and family? Hell, it's already out there now, looks like to me they are just pimping the Vanity Fair issure now. STOP it's damn distribution for this issure if they are so disgraced by it. Get real people!

47. #44 Not that bad? The sicko's I deal with everyday look for pictures of young girls like this. And people wonder why we have so many kids getting sexually abused. Don't be so stupid. And that family should be ashamed. thanks for making my job harder.

48. Did Vanity Fair put a gun to her head and tell her to take off the clothes??????

49. This is nothing more than a PUBLICITY STUNT from Camp Miley to sell more magazines.

50. PULEEZE - and who conned Miley into taking sleazy pictures of HERSELF and posting them on the web?? I'm sure the photos by Annie Leiboz\witz are much more tasteful than the ones Miley took of herself... This girl is pathetic. She should be honored that Annie Leibowitz even took her pictures. And from the shots that I've seen, there's hardly any nudity anyway - what, a back and a belly?? - give it up, Miley, you willingly showed much more in photos you took of yourself. Who is she kidding?? She's like the B-list version of a younger Britney, but Britney was way hotter and was a better entertainer.

51. I'm having a flashback to ten years ago when Britney struck a lolita pose on the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine. Her parents were there too. What do you think are the chances of Miley marrying an out of work backup dance in the next 7 or 8 years?

52. Does Miley even have consent to have a pic like that taken? Wouldn't her parents have to approve of it? It was definately the parents fault and the photogs fault. Miley should not be able to consent to do something like that.

53. Any regular person possesing these kind of pictures of their daughter would be arrested for possesion of child porn.

55. My daughter is a Hannah Montana fan at the age of 7 and I am so angry. I let my daughter watch Miley when she was on the American Idol gives back and questioned her suggestive dance movements. This girl is 15 and preaches family values. That is why I allowed my daughter to look up to her. She is acting out in an inappropiate way and her family has lost control. The family should realize where her fan base is. 6 to 12 year olds! She is headed down the wrong road.

56. Interesting. If a relative had taken the pictures, they'd be called "child porn." What makes the media so different?

The age of consent was established because young people are easily and unfairly influenced by elders: frankly I think Annie Leibovitz should be arrested for taking advantage of Miley's age and maturity level. All media reprinting and sensationalizing sexually “artistic” pictures of underage should be held responsible too.

Shame on ALL those trying to make hay with minors and their budding sexuality.

57. This celebutard is on the fence about being a good girl role model or coming of age and trying to be a sexy woman. Her parents were there, enough said. Miley is the liar, hands down, especially considering all the other recents pics of her floating all over cyberspace.

58. How odd people defend it when Miley and her parents themselves admit this was out of line and in poor taste.

59. ..well many r too young to remember the Brooke Shields Calvin Klein ad...and Brooke was only 12...this is nothing new and has accomplished EXACTLY what all involved wanted...PUBLICITY..oldest trick in he book.
