Miley offered Playboy spread
Categories: Teens & tweens, Celeb kids, Life & style, Rumors, In the news, Media
Hannah Montana star and, I guess, new Hollywood bad girl Miley Cyrus has been offered a spread in adult magazine Playboy. She'll have to be eighteen before she can pose nude for the magazine.
After seeing her controversial photo spread in Vanity Fair magazine last month, Playboy head honcho (and all around creepy old guy) Hugh Heffner says he would "welcome" Miley to the pages of the magazine once she is of legal age. Heff also called on America to stop being so "schizophrenic" about sexuality.
Miley Cyrus has since been forced to issue an apology for the photos in the Vanity Fair spread, taken by famed photographer Annie Lebovitz. No word from Miley's flack about her consideration of the Playboy offer.

Disney needs to give this girl the boot! Right or wrong, there's an implied moral standard with the brand and she's betrayed that image for the sake of either publicity or just a few bucks.

I still think Annie Lebovitz needs to answer some serious questions about child porn. If a "regular person" had been caught with those pictures, you can BET he'd be facing charges right now...

I think that you should read Nabokov's Lolita. As a senior in high school, majoring in psychology and literature analysis at UVA next year, I believe this photo is not porn as you say it is. In fact, I think that this is an astounding photo that embodies the Lolita effect, which is what the purpose was. It is tasteful, and seductive in the way that it was meant to be, not as a "come and get me" type of look, but rather a tragic innocence that Lolita embodies, and while I'm not a fan of Cyrus' annoying vocals and pandemic-like craze, I actually have a better opinion of her after this photo for being able to change from candy-pop sensation to an artist capturing a concept that few, like many critics and crazed parents of this photo, can actually grasp.
On the other hand, my opinion of her went down again when she publically apologized, as this portrait is a work of art, no matter who underestimates the meaning, they should go read. She had nothing to apologize for, and personally I think her apology was unnecessary and demeaning to the work.
Now, I don't know if anyone has read Lolita besides myself, but if they have, they would understand this picture and the raw, enrapturing quality that is so brilliantly captured here. Please go read the book. : )

It's not porn, if you think that is porn you don't know what porn is. Maybe you should google the word and find out.
I agree the photo is in bad taste, but she shouldn't lose her job over it. It's just a photo!

I am an artist myself and I understand the beauty and the expression behind a photo done in this artistic style is not meant to be porn. However, I do not believe it is right for a teenager, famous or not, to be posed and have pictures taken in this way.
As far as the Disney side of it all. I wouldn't blame them if they got rid of her. She is a role model to young girls everywhere. And your average teens and pre-teens are not artist and will interpet this as sexuality. If society deems this okay. Is it okay if your daughters decide they want to do it too?
