Celebrity Justice
Miley's Photog Racks Up Serious Debt

Annie Leibovitz reportedly gets a cool $2 mil a year for getting celebs like Miley Cyrus to lose the blouse and look poutingly out the window. But apparently it ain't enough to keep the creditors away.

Annie, who has even shot the Queen, owes $715,000 to various creditors, according to the New York Post. The newspaper says the debts are a collection of back taxes, money owed in connection with a book project that never got off the ground, and slacking off on renovation expenses for her townhouse.

A VF spokesperson told the Post, "To the best of my knowledge all of these [debts] have been resolved."

6. Today of all days, the 11th anniversary of the very untimely death of Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed is a good day to remind all those who photograph with Her Majesty The Queen of England is that it's a reallly good idea not to pi$$ the queen off by asking her to take off her tiara with the Garter robes...or else.

7. She's actually an awesome lady. She paid me for getting her groceries and then gave me a 100.00 tip on top of it.
She didn't have to do that. She's just a nice lady.

10.



Annie Lebovitz is a talented photographer - Miley Cyrus is a teen with too much money and too little common sense.

11. Class lady, awesome photographer. Miley, ha, her parent and her made the decision to how her picture was taken. Give me a break. Her debt although seemingly larger to normal folks is nothing for someone who earns as much as she does.

12. You can blame Miley's parents and Annie Lebowitz, but Miley is still a minor and gets a pass. She wasn't supposed to be the adult in the situation. Kids today want to be sexy at 5, but the adults should have used better judgement.

13. What, the late writer and critic Susan Sontag didn't leave her life partner any dough? That's hard to believe.

And life ain't so cheap in Rhinebeck, NY, that's for sure. I wonder how old the Leibovitz twins are now...

Anyway, she could ask Graydon Carter for a raise. Vanity Fair is doing quite nicely.
