The Pedo-Files: Miley Cyrus

So this this week pictures of a near topless Miley Cyrus appeared. The pictures were taken for Vanity Fair, who have a reputation for artistic nudity. A previous controversy with Vanity Fair was when Rachel Mcadams refused to do a nude shoot with Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley. Well now it Mileys turn only she is a little to late to refuse as the pictures are already taken. Her picture(below left) have a Miley with no top on covering her breast with a sheet.

Now remember this girl is 15 and her parents were on set with her when the photos were taken. Now the questions are this picture really that bad cause she is topless. Is it bad cause it's provocative. Would it be ok if she was not as famous or did not have a fan base of young girls. Lastly if it is wrong whos fault is this.


To the first question skin wise you can see this much of Miley if you she was wearing a bikini or if you have a account on myspace. Also Miley has posted many pictures on her myspace that I think are much worst then this picture cause not only is alot of skin show they are shot to be sexual and playful. Which the Vanity Fair shot was to be artistic and show innocence at the same time a girl growing into a woman.

As to the provocative issue while I all ready stated I thought it was nice play on showing her innocence. kinda like her life half bare for the world to see almost a woman but still a girl. Yet take a look at the behind the scenes (above right) shots without the color work and photoshoping it looks playful and really she was not that naked. Then back to the myspace pictures(shown below) take a look here
and more
That brings me to the next issue of fame. Would this be so bad if she was not a famous or had a fan base of young girls? I think that if this was a unknown girl posed in this way it would not be such and issue and people would be able to see it as an art piece instead of a young girl half naked. I think part of the whole controversy is that she is a idol to young girls, but you must realize she is also a celebrity she has to grow or she will always be stuck as Hannah Montana.

One of the most recent Myspace Pictures

Last question who's fault is it. Easy answer is the parents, Miley is not an adult obviously. She cannot make these kinda calls on what would be too much or too little and as we have seen from her myspace we can tell she is a real bad judge of what is too much. Yet I go back to the fact that I really don't think these pictures are that bad. I think there is a another reason why this seemingly has blown up in Mileys face.

Now this is what I would call provocative

I think the real big deal is Disney. Disney has gotten enough bad press on the sexy pictures taken by previous Disney kids like Britney, Christina, Hayden, Lindsey and of course the full on nude Vanessa Hudgens. Yet not as much fuss was raised by their photos even though they were role models to to young girls. So why the big freak out? Cause Disney see this time there is money to be lost. I mean it would explain why Miley and her parents would agree to these photos only to backstep and denounce them. Cause Disney told them too. I mean listen to Miley's aplogly/statment it sound forced and kinda stupid "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." Word is she and her parents sign off on everything pre-publishing nothing should have been a surprise to them, only to Disney. I think they are cause this media fuss as kinda lesson to Miley and to save themselves of being accused of pimping out a little girl hmmm we would never think that Disney your only just concerned cause Miley can't make you as much money if she loses her teen appeal yeah your so not pimping out kids. So in the end its all about money who woulda thunk it..
