15 is the new 18... kids now days are doing things younger. I think everyone should let her be.. I'm 23 and if I was given the oppertunity to pose topless I would of. If my daughters were to ask if they could then I would let them.
-
I don't think its a big deal at all, she is not naked! Her father was there the whole time, he gave consent get over it!!!
-
Where is her Mother.My 15 year old would never have permission to do that. We should wait until she fully hits 18 so Hugh Hefner could turn her out even more...Stupid ass!
-
haah wtf! she is not embarassed! she loves the attention. i think it's poor judgement on vanity fair. the could have chosen someone else with more class.
-
i bet you her dad is just like jessica simpsons..if not worse
-
I think it is not child porn cause every photo is just a piece of art
-
How sad that you have become like Britney Spears. At least she was an adult when she turned into a slut.
-
We are all "topless" under our shirts. Perhaps there is more to this than all the public is veiwing. Always more to the "story". It must be something that she and her parents are in agreement with, since they were both aware.? Most likely there is more money somewhere else. Look what teens who want noticed, wear to school (or the lack of). Question: Who stands to gain? Has anyone ever told their boss to take a hike after getting offered a higher paying job?
It's all about the money..... -
lol This is what people are freaking out about? People this is sad. Leave the poor girl alone and stop throwing around the slut word because you’re making yourself sound ignorant. First of all the way you make it sound it like she did a centerfold for playboy. Second she is 15 years old and a celebrity so thank god this is all she does. Third with all the media’s infiltration into her life it’s not surprising that she does something shocking once in a while. God you’re putting way too much effort into something this small. She is completely covered. Her back is exposed which is common nowadays even dresses have a fully exposed back. So from now on unless she comes out in a Modana photo shoot leave the 15-year-old alone. One last thing about this survey on my left this isn't child porn or art.
-
my god they are making to much commotion for this picture, its classy, shes not showing anything, girls wear less than this in the summertime, and im sure half of your daughters out there have worn a dress with a low back like this, everything is covered for gods sake, leave the girl alone
-
u slutty hore i was one of ur biggest fans and now i see all u r is a stupid retarded hore wait till word gets out u will be the hatedest people aroud
-
she looks kinda creepy in this picture.It' kinda like she was going to bite someone.My brother's pit bull give that look when someone she doesn't know comes around the yard.Make up is amazing!
-
I love how people have been calling her a whore yet claiming to have been her fans. So obviously they are about the same age as she is and son't know the difference. I personally feel that there is nothing wrong with this photo. She isn't showing anything. Take a look at the other vanity fair spreads some of the pictures are way worse than this and nobody calls those girls whores. I don't think the picture is very flattering to her but other than that there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I am a fan, over the age of 17(a few years over), and I don't think she is a whore.

The New York Post and I gather plenty of other news outlets went wild with this non-story about a 15-year-old star photographed by portrait master Leibovitz with her shoulder and part of her back exposed.
It is being characterized as veritable kiddie porn; her family is ‘mortified’; though you can hear the laughter as the Magic Kingdom, home of her billion dollar entertainment empire, goes through its appearances of moral spasms of shock and outrage. Miley, for those unhip as myself who needed to Wiki her, plays a normal girl who moonlights as a rock star. Leave it to Disney to create a virgin rocker. Then she has her portrait done and the war in Iraq evaporates.
The Miley scandal is not a relevant version of the truth: the episode, in addition to sending up a smoke screen, is one vast public relations boon for Disney, who rather than attempting to purify its magnificent gleam is decorating its enterprises with a few tons of free ink. And do we think the Vanity Fair production manager called the print plant yesterday ordering up a few hundred thousand more copies for good measure?
One huge lie being propagated, regardless of who profits, is that a teenage young adults are asexual, or that it’s somehow inappropriate to represent them as sexual even though it’s done all the time. This is like freebasing denial, particularly if we care enough to help them stay healthy and unpregnant. Go ahead, teach them abstinence, then watch what happens in the onslaught of hormones. It seems like we have projected so much sexuality onto young people, and fetishized the appearances of youth, that we now feel a need as a culture to strip it off with a sandblaster.
Furthermore, the world seems to have a need for Miley not to grow up. To me this is the psychic, media-driven version of that Austrian guy who locked his daughter in the basement, taking total possession of her. Here, the world seems to need to lock Miley in the basement and never allow her to become Destiny Hope Cyrus, the mature woman.
Scandals are scams. They are never what they are about. Deeper down they are always about repression. If there is a grain of truth to them, it’s usually employed to seed the greater lie. If you look closely enough, or look in the opposite direction (perhaps within), sometimes you can see a little gleam of light.

PS. I just went down for coffee and the Sally Brompton horoscope and encountered an explanation of just what is going on with Miley, courtesy of the profound social criticism of the New York Post, my third favorite newspaper. To wit, Todd Venezia writes, “The young Cyrus and photo diva Leibovitz have created an international firestorm with Vanity Fair pics showing the all-American Tennessee girl with a bare back, turgid lips and suggestively tussled hair — all while being wrapped in nothing more than a piece of cloth.” -
excuse me people, but you guys are so stupid, she is wearing pants, she isn't naked, go look at the pics from the photo shoot on google, she is clothed, it just doesn't look like it because she has her arms wrapped around her body. i don't personally like her music, but you guys have no reason to lash out like this and call her a whore... k, thanks, bye

Miley, What were you thinking? There is enough trash out there with the likes of britney and madonna.Better yet what was your father or mother thinking when they gave permission to vanity to print these pictures or to let there 15 year old daughter pose for this? They are leading you down the wrong path of life and for what? the money? what a shame.
-
well i just think that the entertainment bussness is trying to turn her in to the next britney spears even though this is wrong they should still be smart and not do it to runi her caree
-
this is NOT slutty!
it's just a photo!
this isn't like a porn picture, it's not even revealing. it's like seeing a girl at the beach in her bikini. get a life, people. -

this photo crosses the line for an underaged person. Why isn't Vanity Fair responsible as well? i'm sure this little girl didn't come up with these photo lay outs. Vanity Fair should be charged with child coruption and endangerment, as well as the parents who should be preveiwing these photo shoots.
-
OMG!my little sister looked up to and was ur biggest fan!Cant believe u turned exactly like the rest of them...we really thought u were way different and that u would create a possitive impact.cant b-lieve u put up with this. SO DISAPOINTED IN U!!
-
i dont agree with some of you people saying
oh this isnt bad
yea it is shes 15
and she looks terrible in these pics
well actually all her pics are bad -
I think its a beautiful picture (art wise),maybe not the greatest picture of miley's beauty though. I don't think it even crossed a boundary towards child pornography. Parents let their kids go to school wearing less then she is. She didn't even reveal anything she wouldn't have if she wore a backless dress (which is not unheard of for teenagers). Are we back to the old ages where no one is allowed to see a girls back or shoulders? Just because its a towel covering her and not a shirt it doesn't mean shes wearing less. Yes there are people out there that will look at this the wrong way but they could do that with a lot of the art out there, heck they could do that with underwear commercials. You can't control what people do in their own homes without your knowledge.
And she isn't a slut for doing these pictures. I guarantee most people in her position would have done what the photographer asked, it doesn't matter if her dad was with her or not. She is nothing like Britney Spears for doing this photo shoot. Calling her a slut would suggest she is sleeping around and wearing provocative clothing to enhance her chances. She was there because shes famous and had been asked to be on a cover of a huge magazine (something I'm sure many people/kids fantasize about). Add in the fact that it is also a famous photographer asking her to do all of this and I really think anyone would have done the same. I think the worst part is that people would slander her a slut just because they can't think of a intelligent response to it. -
she isn't a slut, she was manipulated and tricked. she's nothing like britney spears, so everyone leave her be and stop trying to make her the next britney spears.

ONE QUESTION :WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING 2?

-
i hate you now!!!
.........SLUT! -
well im a teen chick and i mean i like to show a little skin for guys. im not dumb and i know what beauty and art is. this is a wonderful picture, even though im not a fan on hannah montana or miley cyrus or what ever the hell she is. but i think its a lovely picture. and shes 15 years old she should be allowed to show "her back" for art and the sake of taking pictures. she did a very good job of not looking too trampy, but who cares show your wild side and have fun. its art and its lovely!

Wasn't there a new model in the Italian Vouge about three years ago that posed nude, wrapped in a sheer cloth for their table of contents shot? I can't remember the models name, but I think that is just my argument... I can't remember the model's name - and if I hadn't picked up a copy of Italian Vouge I never would have read the insider's article about this nude posing 16 year old. Nobody made a fuss about her. So why Ms. Cyrus?
-
seriously? are you kidding me?! i think this is very tasteful, and she looks gorgeous.
