Personally, I love Hannah Montana and am a fan of Miley Cyrus. But this may just damage her career with the young Disney fans and their parents. Combine this with the pics of her flashing her bra and with that guy, and you have to wonder who exactly is this girl trying to be? Is she trying to be a sexpot and appeal to the older crowd? Or does she want to maintain her Disney star status that has given her a lot of money and fame? Without the Disney Channel and Hannah Montana, people would not know who Miley Cyrus is. She should have known what she was getting into when she signed the contract. And if the Vanessa Hudgens’s nude photos have taught us anything, it’s that Disney Channel stands by their stars but doesn’t appreciate it when they do something that isn’t the Disney way.
I think the part from these articles that makes me go “what???” is the fact that she’s now saying that she doesn’t approve of the photos and it wasn’t what she wanted. She says that Disney and she approve because they’re artsy and tasteful (they are definitely more tasteful than other photoshoots). Yet she lets those other personal photos of her get released. And she was there at the photo shoot and knew what they were doing. Plus her parents and handlers where there. None of them thought “hmm maybe this isn’t appropriate for a 15 year old Disney star?” But like one of her songs says “Everybody makes mistakes”. Stay a kid for a little bit longer, Miley; if you want to have a Lindsay Lohan downward spiral, do it in a few years.
On another note, I am soooo excited for Prince Caspian (I just saw a commercial). Now back to writing my seminar final paper/watching The Simpsons/watching random Russell Brand videos.

In the context of the behind the scenes pics, it doesn’t look as bad. Plus she looks like she’s having fun (making her released statement kinda stupid). But that pic with Billy Ray Cyrus from the article? Yikes. Way too sexual for a father-daughter picture.
