Miley targeted by the news

I'm sure news websites and TV shows saw this as a terrific, headlining, traffic-generating story -- seemingly innocent teen star Miley Cyrus caught in racy photos! No one is truly innocent, right? A 15-year old girl in the spotlight must be doing something wrong.

Photos of Cyrus, star of the hit TV show Hannah Montana, began circulating on the internet over the weekend. The photos show Cyrus and a friend who she describes as "one of my best friends" monkeying around during a sleepover in a hotel room. The key photo is of Cyrus and friend passing a piece of candy from mouth to mouth. This one is being described as "racy" or as "hot girl on girl action."

Ridiculous, says Cyrus. In an interview with Niko of radio station Z100 in New York, Cyrus asserted that the incident was completely innocent and not a big deal. "It's two girls at a sleepover, and if all of a sudden that's bad, then what is the world coming to?" says Cyrus.

After viewing the photos, I believe her. The supposedly racy photo isn't even close to being a kiss or any type of erotic pose. It's an innocent kids' game. I've seen church youth groups do games in which the participants eat candy or other food items together -- one on each end, until they meet in the middle. This is exactly the same sort of thing. I'm sure some people find it gross to move candy from one mouth to the other, but if the girls aren't worried about it, I'm not either. The HUM blog on E! Online agrees, saying it may be "unsanitary", but that's about it.

I'm just sorry that this news is out there for Cyrus' young fans to see. I have an almost-eight year old daughter who loves Hannah Montana, and I'm sure she'll be wondering what all of this is about if she sees it on the news. How am I supposed to explain it to her? My best bet may be to keep the TV off tonight.

Let's leave Cyrus alone. She's a talented girl, and so far appears to have plenty of family support to enable her to survive Hollywood. I'd like to see her succeed without the media trying to make her out to be just another teen star gone bad.

Must be a slow news day, I love Miley and honestly this is pathetic a pic here and there. ITS NOT BAD! She must have some serious enemies to leak pics like these...







I really think the news is overreacting,

i think this is complete BS, this isnt even HALF as bad as vanessa's pictures, these are nothing. This is all stupid.

I know and the other girl wasn't even hot... pssh

Gosh, I hate that show. My daughter loves watching her though .... ugh .... this is a bad spot for her to be in. Hopefully her Dad is able to guide her and keeps her from being Paris Hilton II -- that is my wish for her. As far as the pics ... meh, slow news day I guess.

These days, people seem to think that they have a right to every tiny bit of information about celebrities. It's pathetic. If it doesn't have to do with the art they are putting out there, it's none of our business. And don't give me the "role-model" crap. If you don't want your kid missbehaving, set an example yourself. It's not up to successful, famous people to raise your kids. So people can't get enough snapshots of people behaving badly or grocery shopping or taking out the garbage and the press keeps taking the pictures and missconstruing every shot to make more money and stupid people buy the magazines and go to the web sites and watch the tabloid shows and it's all a vicious circle. The sad thing is, these young people don't deserve to go through adolescence and young adulthood high on a pedestal with everyone judging them and not allowing them to make mistakes like evry single human being does. It's only a matter of time until this girl snaps and attacks and SUV and shaves her head and marries a talentless douche bag simply because it's the only way they feel they have control of themselves.

Too bad it wasn't a cyanide tablet.

Honestly, i would be more worried about them sitting on the carpet of the hotel hallway. I know the floors get vacuumed and all but....

^^Your just jealous she got more action then you, even if it was fake.

i hate when stupid channels like e! talk about celebs. its like, get a life. its sad. find something better to do. they are people just like everyone else. just leave the poor girl alone.

^That's what E is supposed to do, duh. Entertainment? What's more entertaining, other than a roller coaster, than seeing people everyone knows getting their asses chewed by rumors?

That is bull**** though. There are SO many girls that would take pictures like that for their Myspace, craving other girls to call them gorgeous. Miley Cyrus is tight, but my anti-screw up hollywood teenage girl is!!!!

I'm related to her Gerstlcrazy. Want me to get you an autograph?

^nice choice.

yeah, but it get old after a while. like i know that thats what the channels for, but like i said it gets old.

wow, are you really, thats awsome!!!
