Miley Cyrus’ Vanity Fair Pictures Arrive

The Vanity Fair photo spread of Miley Cyrus has been released! As always, here are some of the interview highlights:

On Sex and the City: “It’s my favorite show! I love it! Obviously not the scenarios. But if you watch Sex and the City, like the way the friends are, the way that it’s dry and they all have distinct characters—that’s a thing we try to do on our show.”

On the infamous semi-topless shot: “No, I mean I had a big blanket on. And I thought, This looks pretty, and really natural. I think it’s really artsy. [And] it wasn’t in a skanky way.… And you can’t say no to [photographer Annie Leibovitz]. She’s so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look and you’re like, O.K.”

On whose career trajectory she’d like to follow: “Before, I’d say like Hilary Duff. But there can’t be a thousand Hilary Duffs. Then that doesn’t make Hilary special. And there can’t be a thousand Miley Cyruses, or that doesn’t make me special. That’s what a star is: they’re different. A celebrity is different. So, no, mostly I want to make my own path.”

On being well-adjusted to the fame and public attention: “That’s just my personality. I don’t get shaken or stirred up over anything. Which can be a problem sometimes. I’m just, like, so no emotions. I just don’t let things faze me. I’m very much like my dad. My dad’s like this.”

On being pals with paparazzi camped out of her gated home. “Sometimes there’ll be like 40. Sometimes 20, sometimes 30. Sometimes two. I’ll stop and I’ll do the picture. It’s really funny. They’ll buy our dinner and whatever. We’ve become friends.”

miley cyrus needs to get her head in the game if she wants to keep her career. miley has so much fans and to tought it all away is a stupid thing for miley to do. me as a miley fan i will not take her side and i dont like miley would be right in any case. i just cant help thinking what a stupid thing she did!

lily coner conterplet @ 04/29/2008 at 9:01 pm

This is so sick, Billy Ray that is so wrong. What is Nickalodeing thinking. First Jamie and now this. What in the world is going on? I think my girls will find a new station other then Nick. I dont want them to think this is the right behavior for young girls. Sorry Nickalodeing but this needs to stop. Her father is No Father she is only 15. If Billy is hard up for money, then he needs to get a job. Stop using Miley for a easy ride.

Panda-monium @ 04/29/2008 at 9:20 pm

hmm..Don’t really know what to think…I’m not a Miley fan but I don’t hate her. I’m 21 so her show and musics a little too young for me. I know she’s only 15 but her stuff is sort of directed for younger kids mostly still in the high school way of thinking. But never-the-less even though I don’t like her I won’t attack her either.
it’s not the first time someones done a “topless” shot and it wont be the last. I’m not going to call her names for this but I dislike the fact she did these at age 15.

I’m a photographer and I love almost all forms of art and I’m not closed minded at all…the body is a form of art and it’s beautiful to depict in photos…but there has to be limits and standards and personally I myself would never in a million years photograph a 15 year old girl in this light and in these suggestive poses. I think that type of modeling needs to be reserved for over 18’s. No this type of art is not trashy and no it’s not ******. The photographs aren’t ugly but in my own opinion they’re too provacative for a 15 year old.

*yet again just my opinion*

You guys need to chill out. I thought the picture was hot. It’s a shame she only showed us her back. Give us more with less Miley!!!

Seriously, this is what the world is worried about? during times like we are in? Has anyone noticed what is going on out there? WTF? Nobody gave a **** when Brooke Shields posed topless in her Calvin’s. I don’t even know who Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus is, couldn’t tell ya, but I will say again…seriously…this is all Americans have to think about and create drama over…some celebrity girl posing with her Dad and posing topless in a sheet…COME ON…let’s focus people!

oh jeez.
their pretty pictures.
and she wasnt even naked. she had pants on and a blaket covering her the whole time.

she probably apoligized to all the people who are soooooo shocked at the “revealing” pictures.
that picture with her dad is nice too.
its just the thoughts that people get out of it.

if you dont know her like that
then dont be so quick to judge.
itz people like that who get the worst kick in the butt from karma.

and no profanity. its just immature and im sure that there is other words to describe how you feel.

so yeah…
im not tryin to offend anyone or point fingers to anyone…
im sure if you and miley switched places
she wouldve kept her mouth shut and not even get in your buisness.

momandnanny @ 04/29/2008 at 9:42 pm

I THINK ALL PARENTS SHOULD NOT BOYCOT ALL NICK STATIONS UNTIL THEY CAN GET A HANDLE ON THESE KIDS THAT WE ALL LET OUR KIDS WATCH. I THINK BILLY RAY IS SO MONEY HUNGREY I MEAN COME ON, HE COULDNT MAKE IT HIS SELF , SO HE IS USING HIS DAUGHTER…..HOW SICK BILLY

okay seriously theres acually only one pic thats not appropriate but the rest?wtf? evry girl likes to wear a bikini even 12 year old i mean cmon this is a bunch of ****
I dont agree in what shes doing and i dont give a **** cuz its not threatning , shes NOT topless so WOw huge scandal..

momandnanny @ 04/29/2008 at 9:54 pm

OMG petafile @ 04/29/2008 at 10:18 pm

fan of miley and billy @ 04/29/2008 at 10:43 pm

This is absolutely bizarre! What FATHER who calls himself a Christian would even WANT to pose with his 15 yr. old daughter this way? It creeps me out just like it does so many others. What GIVES with all the sultry looks out of Miley sprawling with her “Daddy”? Billy Ray, you should be ashamed of yourself! All about money and trying to stay in the “fame” limelight? Sad! So very sad! I will continue to pray for you and your family! Bottom line is, you need to take a serious look at the choices you are making for the direction you are leading your PRECIOUS DAUGHTER! Miley, wake up and recall the things your Pa-Paw taught you.

for real thoug, leave her alone, because yall just love to blow thing out of proportion.get lives…look at other girls her age’s myspace pics…a lot of them are soo much worse…as she says “Nobody’s Perfect” not even “idols” or “stars”…we all humans…SO BACK THE F*** OFF!!!!

Regardless of her age, it’s not OK for her and her dad to be taking those kind of pictures together. It’s very disturbing. That’s her father.

Would y’all jus shut up alredy . ther aint nothn wrong withem that photograph. that is jus normal funnin tween a poppa and his daughter in Apalchians. Comon na. Give them some slack and a room.

It’s a piece of cake to make a pretty cake.

hey dudes; its not like she’s totally naked or what if u imagine urself in such a scenario whereby if u dont agree to such a photoshoot
ur stardom would be in danger, would u seriously like REJECT them? not like im saying its okay forall 15 year olds to act tht way, let alone with her dad but its not like her dad’s is doing anything to her or something, besides her mom’s there.so can u like all just care bout urself and dont giv a damn about other ppl’s life? cos i think seriously u ppl are going overboard with the insults like **** or *****.
-___-”
come on; even if she watches something like On Sex and the City,
its not like it means she’s filthy minded or hav something dirty on her head all the time
i believe EVERYONE has seen what a x-rated pic looks like , wether accidentaly or purposely. cos the internet is CHALK full of it .

unhappy with my comment -___-”?
bite me .

ok some people say this pictures seem sexual to me it looks like she is a daddys girl that is growing up almost protective. and i was always creeped out by my dad after i hit puberty and developed so if i dont find it that way how can you???

Parentofteens @ 04/30/2008 at 9:49 am

As a parent of teen girls who admire Miley, I am upset with her parents and the adults in her life. The pictures are first and foremost, inappropriate for her age and just not necessary. Here we go again. Someone please ” We need a Hero”. We glorify the stars in rehab and prisons and wonder why are children are so messed up. Why is money worth more than our integrity and our children’s innocence. What is wrong with the world anymore?

This whole thing really is ridiculous. Pop Watchdog covers it the best, and sees through this whole ridiculously overblown mess. Anyone that has an opinion on the pictures and Miley should go to:

popwatchdog.blogspot.com

**** you all
like seriously leave them alone, she made a mistake, everyone does it like holly.

It seems to be a few steps from child pornography… a minor wearing just a sheet and no bra. Not just a “mistake” while she’s sitting in front of the camera along with several other people in the room.

I blame her parents the most. Can’t she speak for herself? Most interviews and comments are from her mother!

My six year old idols her, but I refuse to purchase any more of Miley’s marketing materials. It won’t hurt their pocketbook, but it is sad for my daughter. She may have “learned from her mistake”, but there could be more mistakes in the future and I won’t promote her in my household.

Brian Rollman Zapata @ 04/30/2008 at 3:42 pm

I have no problem with the picture I have see more skin in bikini pics of my friend rather than this picture. Now what bothers me is the arogent sounding comments vanity fair has bin posting on there page and other media sources.

Like:”Thanks to her rock-star alter ego, Hannah Montana, 15-year-old Miley Cyrus has an early start on the road to superstardom, but you haven’t hit it big until you’ve been photographed by Annie Leibovitz. And now Miley’s officially hit it big—and so has her dad, country legend Billy Ray Cyrus. Click through to see a behind-the-scenes slide show of the shoot, on location in Calabasas, California.

My name is Alex Cantu and I think Miley Cyrus is hot, and sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

first of all, there is nothing wrong with this photo. yea, its a little akward and the only thing that is making it weird is everyones comments. she is fully clothed in the picture with her father, and the positioning is not at all “weird”. they arent even looking towards each other. also, she probably was suggested and almost forced to be shot for this magazine and in certain ways, not knowing what kind of comments would be thrown at her. look at what teen celebritys are doing today. would u rather hear that she has been doing drugs or even PREGNANT? she is a beautiful girl, and everyone can see that. so i think that people should leave her alone (:

am i the only person that has no problem with this whatsoever? a 15 year old girl takes a picture with her dad…OMG! someone call child services? you people are retarded…if she wants to be a **** (which i am absolutely 100% saying she’s not) why don’t you let her be a ****? if she’s such a bad role model ignore her and she’ll fall out of the limelight…if people were so objected to her as you people seem to think she wouldn’t be this famous duh! if you don’t like her, don’t expose yourself to her…otherwise it’s your own damn fault geez

i don’t see how this photo shoot did anything to affect your lives besides the fact that you took the time out of your boring lives to stress how much this picture offends you

99% of the time my stance on celebrity drama and scandals is who cares? it doesn’t affect me at all
but im getting pretty sick and tired of people talking trash about celebrities when they have no idea what they go through or what they really do…im not saying i do, but im not the one making an ass of myself trying to assume that i do

moral of the story: who the hell cares whether you approve of them or not? it doesn’t diminish their paycheck or their popularity…obviously
