'Hannah Montana' says she's embarrassed by Vanity Fair photo

[GE]

(CNN) -- Teen superstar Miley Cyrus -- better known as Hannah Montana -- apologized Sunday after Vanity Fair magazine published provocative photos of her.

"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," Cyrus said in a statement her publicist released. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans, who I care so deeply about."

The 15-year-old Cyrus, daughter of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, stars as an ordinary teenager with a double life as a rock star on the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana." The channel says "Hannah Montana" is the top-rated cable television show for children aged 6 to 14, reaching more than 164 million viewers around the world.

Cyrus completed a 70-date tour this year that sold out venues nationwide, starred in a movie that ranked number one in February and saw two albums rocket toward the top of the charts.

One photo shows Cyrus topless but clutching a sheet to her chest, her bare back exposed, looking toward the camera over one shoulder.

A caption alongside the photo reads: "Um, was Cyrus -- or Disney -- at all anxious about this shot?" It then quotes Cyrus as saying: "No, I mean I had a blanket on. And I thought, 'This looks pretty, and really natural.' I think it's really artsy."

The photos were taken by Annie Leibovitz, a renowned photographer known for her portraits of celebrities.

The magazine refers to the "topless but demure portrait" as Leibovitz's idea and quotes Cyrus as saying, "It wasn't in a skanky way ... And you can't say no to Annie. She's so cute. She gets this puppy dog look and you're like, 'O.K.'"

A Disney Channel spokesman, Patti McTeague, said in a statement on Sunday that the photos were meant to sell magazines.

"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," her statement said.

Oh noes!!

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Bleh. She looks like she's 12, and I'm not talking about the confusing kind of 12, either.

[Da Prez]

thats a horrible pic, i dont care how old she is...

[CJ-95GT]

Damn, that girl needs some sun. She looks nocturnal.

[bcoop]

I find her smile more offensive than that picture. But that's just me.

Photoshop. ;)

X2... That's not even close to being confused as attractive or as older.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Haha, I wish I could find a picture of this guy with lipstick; it'd be a perfect match!

She is unfortunately going down the same path as Lohan and Spears. I guess Billy Ray knocking up mom and then marrying her was just the beginning for her, unfortunately.

[mikeb]

Apparently she wasn't embarrassed when the picture was taken.


In fact, when BRUCE HANDY interviewed Miley, he asked her about the photo and she was very cheerful about it and thought it was perfectly fine."

I guess that she is embarrassed now since the picture is causing her potential issues with her money maker.

[Paladin]

I agree on Spears, but not Lohan. I just can't bring myself to look at a 15 year-old as sexual, so no comment on Cyrus.

I am guessing she is joining a long line of girls who have decided it is best to act poorly to get out of a very restrictive Disney contract. I doubt anything she does is w/out deliberate thought and purpose.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

I agree on Spears, but not Lohan. I just can't bring myself to look at a 15 year-old as sexual, so no comment on Cyrus.I can still vividly remember five years ago when I was looking at all the hot ass 15 year old bitches that were only three years younger than me, so I'm covered.

[Txstang1]

Damn she is fugly......but what the hell are they doing taken a picture of a 15 year girl topless with a sheet covering her?

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

[redheadintx]

Why would her parents let a photo like this be taken and published? She is only 15. Aren't they making these "career" decisions?

I think her Dad has a reverse oedipous (sp?) complex. Whatever that is called. :D

If you replace career decisions with nice pay checks you will answer your own question. :cool:

They allow her to dress way beyond her years. Check out what she wore during the performance with her dad on the CMT awards. No 15 year old should be wearing this!

I don't understand how her Parents would let her do that. Something like this could hurt her with Disney.

[Tyrone Biggums]

She'll be hooked on the blow in no time.

[tay_fu]

Huh?

[99MustangGT]

I don't think they should have taken pics of her like that. She is only 15 years old and in that business, she can easily be lead in the wrong direction. I would have not let my daughter take pics like that at all!! I hope she realizes what fame can do to someone by seeing what Britney Spears, Lohan, and others have gone through before it happens to her as well.

Besides the pic just being ugly, its like kid porn or something. YACK!

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

cough*bullshit*cough

:pOkay, you're right, but I'd pretend that it were unbearable!

[AL P]

Whatever.

This whole thing is part of the publicity machine. The photos. Her going "Oh Noes!!". The guy saying she was fine with the photos.

It's all a fucking stunt to get people to talk about her. I don't like her or her dumbass daddy.

[Paladin]

I can still vividly remember five years ago when I was looking at all the hot ass 15 year old bitches that were only three years younger than me, so I'm covered.

Well I can't remember 25 years ago when I was 18, so maybe that's why I can't relate. :D

[Paladin]

It's called a sick fuck.

What does gpamp have to do with it?

[BlackSnake1996]

Its all about proper boob tape! ;)
Boob tape? At 15? She probably couldn't make them fall out if she wanted them to.
