Miley Cyrus Does Vanity Fair: Photos (Wizbang Pop!)

Miley Cyrus did this sexy photoshoot for next months Vanity Fair magazine. Photos by the great Annie Leibovitz. Check out the ones with papa Billy. Creepy.

The Hannah Montana star has issued a statement exclusively to E! News about her provocative pictures in Vanity Fair. "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," she says. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.'"

The Disney Channel is also defending its beloved starlet, telling E! News "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

And a statement from VF reads: Vanity Fair editors respond: "Miley's parents and/or minders were on the set all day. Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley. 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."

Very sad that everyone has to a "sexual" tone to everything in this world....very sick to even think of a 15 year old girl in this nature..that is why there are so many sickos in this world....and magazines/movies/producers/photographers..etc..all share the blame and they have scarred many people by there works of the flesh...think about...

Dad is a creep.

I had to check her age because I couldn't believe a relatively big name mag would want to be connected with this.

At the age of 15, I can somewhat believe she may have got caught up in the allusion of 'art' and not realized the sexualization because it was aimed at adults which is a bit more subtle. Especially if she was deferring to Dad's judgment.

The fact its aimed at adults is what makes it more than exploitive and just downright creepy.

On the other hand, I could believe she is faking innocence. Which is an even sadder comment on the state of things.

I think she looked a little pale in the final outcome or I think it was meant to look that way. For adults, it might not be a scandal but i think it is for some people because their kids look up to her and they think that posing that way is wrong. To be honest, I more like Miley Cyrus' music more than this kind of pictures, and she and Hannah Montana's worlds concert is my favorite: dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=100149&ru=279 , Miley! this was not a smart choice. You are just 15, before you do it, I think you should as your father first.

She looks to old anyway...Make up, tight jeans Low riders at that... Low cut dresses. I don't think the picture look bad, a little too sexy for a "little lady" but.....she has a father and he should have step in if it was a problem. 2 cents nothing more
