Disney Bites the Photog that Feeds It

61. Disney should ease off the photographer, and instead look to Miley and her parents. Miley is just following in the footsteps of other teen stars for good or ill, and her parents are just as oblivious as everyone else's.

62. Sounds like the Disney publicity machine cranking on high gear. In a few years, when Miley goes all Britney Spears, will we look back and say this is what started her downfall? Let your kid become a Disney product and you're suprised at what becomes of her image? Duh!

63. You guys are clueless, Annie is one of the great photographers of our time. Her portfolio clearly speaks for itself. If there hadn't been an uproar about one shot, Disney would have remained silent. Just goes to show that Disney has no loyalty to it's artists.

64. Dinsey and Miley are full of it. i'm with Annie on this one. she has been photographing celebrities for YEARS and, since she has gone digital, always shows them the digital images at the end of the shoot. time to be a responsible person, Miley, and take responsibility. no one forced you to do the shoot, sweet heart.

67. Maybe you haven't heard that her parents left the shoot before Leibovitz enticed and cajoled Miley into doing 'ARTSY SHOTS." Perhaps you, Annie, and VF are unaware that 15 year old Miley cannot legally give "informed consent" for sexually provocative photos and their distribution. You might better be quaking in your left-wing, anti=American boots, because you have opened yourselves up to possible CRIMINAL liability. Take 'em down, Billy Ray, the South is with you and Miley.

68. I am just really amazed that this has gotten such HUGE press. If the press would quit feeding off of it the little girl fans would never have known about it - how many under 30's do you think read Vanity Fair? I do not think the content is even such that the average mother of a Hannah/Miley fan would even buy or suscribe to it. I cannot see my 10 year old niece who is a huge Hannah fan picking up a copy of Vanity Fair to read all about Miley. In reality Miley is a young lady on the verge of becoming a woman and the photo alhthough not appropriate for Hannah Montana and teen beat is not that sexual. Once again our media has blown something so out of proportion compared to the real problems in our world today.

69. The photo is a disgrace. Had this been a girl of an appropriate age- at least 18 years old (legal adult) then it wouldn't be so bad, but this woman (Annie Leibovitz) being the professional that she is supposed to be, should know better then to have a 15 year old child appear to have nothing on under a bed sheet. She is a CHILD! It is a completely inappropriate photo. Her parents also have to take equal blame for this. If they were on the set like they were reported to be and saw these pictures and did not speak up for the dignity of their daughter, they are just as much accountable. It seems like another typical case of parents getting wrapped up in the fame of their child and sacrifing her morals and self respect for their greed.

70. What a load of BS a publicity stunt running amok!. Both parents at the the photo session and neither said any thing about this girl taking her clothes off, and no doubt OK'd the photo's for publication.... oh yes and there is a bridge for sale in Beverly Hills

71. What did Annie title the pic with her dad? Incest is best? What up with Miley in sexy black underwear on MUCH older boyfriends lap? Then she shows off her green bra, which you could see most of anyway. Look out Brittany ....here comes Miley! Crotch shots next. Miley, her family, and her photographer have no sense left. Oh, by the way, in California, kids under 18 are minors. Daddy, and/or Annie can be in trouble if pics are considered erotic. The pic with her dad ...disgusting.

72. Disney are hypocritical toadies all about making money and exploiting whoever they need to exploit in order to do so. Just let 'the fans' become irate, or criticism hit their corporate radar, and they'll dump you overboard like 3-day-old tuna. That li'l Miley is just finding this out is going to be part of her education; but it is a little surprising that Billy Ray didn't know anything about corporate greed and dishonesty, given past experience to record companies.

This is a tempest in the celebrity-media teapot, something we see practically every week anymore. But it does make you shake your head and wonder 'what kind of country are we becoming?'

Sad. Really.

73. is she david lee roth's long lost sister....or better yet DLR in costume (ok, the costume is the HAIR)

74. She's probably one of the most UN-talented photographers of our time. I don't care what anyone says, she sucks. The only thing that makes her photos special are the people who pose for them.... otherwise she'd be a nobody doing portraits at a department store.

75. What in the world is Annie Leibovitz's problem? Why does she always need to have people take their clothes off?

She's a pervert. It's not "art." She's a dirty old man in a Lesbian body.

Her getting Miley to pose like that - making it LOOK like she was naked, is just beyond wrong. Getting the Queen to take off a crown, that's funny. Making a 15 year old young girl look seductive... like she's wrapped up in a bed sheet, hair all tossed, after waking up or doing whatever else- is just shameful. SHAMEFUL.

I'm also pissed at Miley's parents. Shame on them too. They really need to step up and try extra hard to protect her from garbage like this. She is 15! She needs parents that will make better decisions. this is not Miley's fault. She's way too young to be held responsible. She was just doing what she probably got talked into. She follows orders, she's 15.
