Miley Ray Cyrus Apologizes For 'Artistic' Photos
(NBC)- Miley Ray Cyrus is apologizing to fans for her photo spread in Vanity Fair. The spread includes a photo of the 15-year-old wrapped in what appears to be a satin bedsheet. In a written statement, Cyrus says she "took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic', but now that she sees the photos, she's "so embarrassed." The Disney Channel, which airs Cyrus' TV show "Hannah Montana," is also critical of the magazine, and says "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines." The photos appear in Vanity Fair's upcoming issue, on stands nationwide May 6th. The photos were taken by renowned celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.

I'm not saying that I would let my daughter do the same thing but the picture is not that bad and I don’t think that anyone should attack the poor girl. I've seen girls in pageants and girls that model that have a portfolio take pictures that were more provocative. The fact of the matter is, we as a whole need to let her be and allow her parents raise her. Inappropriate? Alert Us!

Friday, May 2 at 10:22 PM e wrote ...This is not hot,if anything it's distasteful. 15 year old girls should not be looking up to this, much less girls of any age. She should not be pinned as being a role model again. How is this so easily dismissed? Apparently it's become no big deal to idolize a girl who shows her midriff and wears racy, way too mature for her clothing and when your teen girl begins to mimic this, maybe then you'll rethink her actions. It's completely false that she is just oh so wholesome and innocent. Inappropriate? Alert Us!

And there as two opioions i have on this first, she is 15 but like they said her viewers ages range from around 3-11 generally, and that's not something kids need to be exposed to. And second she's 15 and when child watch her they see her as the actress, not the real life 15 year old Miley, and if the news hadn't made her such a big deal about her picture this won't be a problem, i doubt any of her younger views read Vanitey Fair anyway!

This image is not even revealing, and was taken by one of America's greatest photographers. People who think this is "obscene" probably also find Michelangelo's incredible work of art the sculpture of David to be offensive. I bet you'd prefer your children watched images of graphic violence instead of of the human body. Whoever said you'd see more skin at the beach was right. Inappropriate? Alert Us!

The kid has too much authority. I'd love to nail thest preents in discussion about this. It would be more appropriate to give this youngster an proper education which she absolutely is lacking in. However, this is probably a case of 'not falling too far from the tree'. I'm disgusted, the parents - pathetic - the child - egocentric. Inappropriate? Alert Us!

Monday, Apr 28 at 11:30 PM Stephanie Webber wrote ...My daughter looks up to Miley Cyrus completely, but I am very shocked with this behavior. It may not have been to seem what many think it is, but I still think if she wants to keep fans especially children and their parents that she should watch what she does and keep it on the low level. I absolutley love Miley Cyrus, but like I said if she becomes a bad influence I am sure my daughters role model and many other kids role models will soon change. But I accept the apology from Miley Cyrus. Inappropriate? Alert Us!
