Miley Cyrus says scandalous Vanity Fair pics made her “more relatable” to her fans

June 27th, 2008 by Scott Marks

Miley Cyrus, who is like aging faster than one of Charles Shaw’s grapes, is like finally speaking out about her recent Vanity Fair photo scandal.

The fifteen-year-old star, who is like now in the third season of the Disney Channel’s ridiculously popular Hanna Montana, told Billboard Magazine, “I was embarrassed, but also it’s like, every career thing that I do can’t be perfect, and sometimes my decisions are wrong. I think that just makes me even more relatable. I don’t think people will look at me any differently because they’re like, ‘You know what, I’m going to do stupid stuff too, and I’m going to make mistakes, and that’s fine.’ It still hurts when I think about it — but you know what, it doesn’t mean that you can’t move on.”

With a new album like set to debut next month, Miley wants America to know that “more than anything — I’m a writer.” As opposed to what, a wronger?

Annie Leibovitz criticized for snapping racy Miley Cyrus photo

May 3rd, 2008 by Scott Marks


It’s not the fault of an underage bimbette wanting desperately to be like her celebrity role models. Nor are the young superstar’s redneck parents to blame for their daughter’s scandalous Vanity Fair photoshoot. When denial fails, blame the photographer.

Legendary celebrity shooter Annie Leibovitz has come under fire for pushing stars to go too far.

The prestigious photographer topped the headlines earlier this week when provocative shots she took of 15-year-old Miley Cyrus for Vanity Fair magazine first hit the internet.

The teenager, Leibovitz and Vanity Fair bosses have been blasted by the media and family values groups for one shot in particular, in which Cyrus poses topless, wrapped in a satin sheet.

Make that satan’s sheet!

Both Leibovitz and Cyrus have since stated the photos have been misinterpreted in the media, with the snapper calling the “beautiful” satin sheet photo “a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup.”

Now stars clamoring for the spotlight are coming out to expose Leibovitz’s techniques.

Former teen icon and Mormon hasbeen Donny Osmond, who has already criticized Cyrus for posing seductively, has now taken aim at Leibovitz, recalling one of the first times he met her for a Rolling Stone magazine photoshoot.

He says, “I was about 14 or 15… It’s always, `Push it a little farther.’ She went a little too far with that picture of Miley.”

What’s the matter, Donny, did your magic Mormon underpants get a little tight when looking at Miley’s photo? And who aside from the president of NAMBLA wants to see topless photos of an underage Donny Osmond?

I suppose that Liebovitz was also the one who took control of Miley’s webcam and masterminded the scandalous “green bra” photos. If Svengali Leibovitz wields that much power, let’s see her coax an Academy Award winning performance out of young Cyrus.

Even loud-mouthed character-breaker Robin Williams had to add his two cents. Speaking on The Tonight Show on Thursday, funnyman Williams confessed, “(Leibovitz) will get you to do anything. She’ll (be) like, `Put a rogue flare in your ass, go out in that field, let’s shoot it!’ She had a picture she wanted to do with Eddie Murphy and I, where she wanted Eddie to be in white face (makeup) and me to be in black face, and I said, `Listen, there’s not a lot of mimes that are going to kick Eddie’s ass, but the painted black face may not go so well for me.’”

For a goof, someone should coat Williams with burnt cork and deposit him in Harlem.
