Hanna Montana apologies for racy photographs!

[Feek]

I wandered in for my tea (stir-fry, if anyone's interested) and asked the usual question "what's this on the telly?"

I was told that it's Hanna Montana which for some reason rang a bell.

I suddenly remembered that I'd seen some articles on the BBC news site this week about the girl who plays her.

So I checked and I was right.

Miley Cyrus, star of Disney's Hannah Montana, has apologised over photos of the teen star which are due to be published in Vanity Fair magazine.

Cyrus, 15-year-old daughter of singer Billy Ray, said she was embarrassed by the Annie Leibovitz photos.

"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."

Wow, must be pretty bad pictures.

She continues.

"I apologise to my fans who I care so deeply about," she said in a statement.

Sheesh, this is awful. I guess they must have tricked her into getting her baps out or something like that.

I mean, she's been manipulated.

The Disney Channel, which airs hit show Hannah Montana, accused the magazine of trying to manipulate the young star.

"A situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," said a statement released by Disney.

But it's not just this once..... It's happened before.

Cyrus has also apologised over a second set of photos currently circulating on the internet.

The images show Cyrus draped over the lap of a former boyfriend, while another shows her revealing part of a green bra.

Revealing part of a green bra? OMG, the world is about to end!

So I did a quick search and I found the picture that she's apologising for.



WHAT?

Is that it?

I can't believe this, I'm absolutely gobsmacked by it. There's more flesh on show by girls that age on a school bus! It's just like wearing a backless frock and heaven forbid that someone go to a beach or public swimming pool and see girls wearing bathing costumes!

I have to agree that there's some manipulation going on here. By the girl in question and Disney. All publicity is good publicity, right?

Pathetic, truly pathetic.

That doesnt look a thing like her :/

Shocking state of affairs though *disapproving*

[semi-pro waster]

Is the objection not at least partially due to age of Miss Cyrus (and who'd have though the mulleted singer of Achy Breaky Heart could have a child that looked normal?) rather than what the actual photos do or don't reveal?

I know that 16 is simply a line in the sand but it is quite a decent one and for girls (or boys) under that age to be appearing in provocative poses (ok she isn't particularly but as a theoretical) seems a shade questionable.

And who'd have thought that with a haircut and 15 years on he would be so damned HOT! I love Hannah Montana!

I see lasses around here that are both younger and wear less. In fact, there is one 15 year old who appears to have implants. Nearly made me drive into a lamppost.

It's a lot of talk about nothing tbh.

Big deal. Its not even a good photo, she looks like a goth. That lighting is sooo not flattering

Feek what if it was LMF in that photo rather than miss cyrus.

She looks very vulnerable :/ I don't like it. I think its wrong.

Also both her parents were allegedly at that shoot so why didn't they object at the time? Were they too busy counting the cash for the shoot?
