The bigger picture (of this particular image, plus one) is posted on Hollywire, where commenters say they believe it's a hoax...Miley Cyrus will appear in the next issue of Vanity Fair. Truth or Hoax? Apparently it's true" The Orlando Sentinel blogs that Disney has issued a statement critcizing Vanity Fair: "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines..."
Last week, A new batch of racy MySpace photos of 15-year-old Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus made the rounds. The National Ledger reports a photo that is circulating shows the singer and actress on what would appear to be a screenshot from a digital television in freeze frame from a promotional piece.
Last week, the PR dilemma du jour was a green bra; photos online showing Miley Cyrus pulling away her top to flash her underwear. This week, it could be something significantly more...The New York Times: Some parents reacted with outrage over the weekend when the television program “Entertainment Tonight” began showing commercials promoting a scoop: Ms. Cyrus, the star of the wholesome Disney Channel blockbuster “Hannah Montana,” had posed topless, albeit with her chest covered, for the Vanity Fair photographer, Annie Leibovitz....It is doubtful that one photograph — especially one that is tame in the context of an Internet awash in nude photographs of other starlets — could dent the Hannah Montana machine, said several Wall Street analysts. Retail sales for the franchise are expected to total about $1 billion in 2008. A motion picture is in the works for 2009 and Ms. Cyrus signed a seven-figure book deal with the Disney Book Group last week.
Who's Minding Miley? How will 'Hannah Montana' transition from tween to teen?
BuddyTV writes that the racy photos of Miley Cyrus are the latest indication that that the singer is in the midst of a transformation that could take her from a tween sensation to a more mature artist. Hmmm.... like whatever happened to Miley's predecessors, Hillary Duff (who?) and Britney (Bad Girl) Spears?
