Miley Cyrus, the star of Disney’s Hannah Montana, apologized Monday for racy photos in Vanity Fair Magazine.
“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,” Cyrus said Sunday in a statement through her publicist. “I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”
The photos will appearing in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair Magazine. The photos were taken by Annie Leibovitz, a renowned celebrity photographer. Leibovitz, one of the most well-known photographers, has taken pictures of Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie and Demi Moore.
One of the photos that Leibovitz took of Cyrus had the 15-year-old wrapped in what appears to be a satin bedsheet, looking over her shoulder with her back exposed.
“Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines,” said the Disney Channel in a statement.
“Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day,” the magazine said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. “Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley.”
Over the last month, racy pictures of Cyrus have been circulated on the Internet. One picture had Cyrus in a tanktop, exposing her green bra.

We’ve only ever mentioned the live-action Dragonball movie once before, in relation to casting. The reason is that I just have a feeling that it’s going to be complete crap. It’s being directed by the Final Destination guy (James Wong) with a script from the writer of The Big Hit (Ben Ramsey) and Wong again as well (who also wrote the scripts for Jet Li’s The One and some episodes of “The X-Files”). I could be completely wrong, but I’ve got to be convinced otherwise. A new set photo has appeared and it actually looks pretty awesome. Maybe this is the first good sign?
Thanks to our friends at SlashFilm for finding this. Peter only mentions that it came from someone named Troy Mustang from the shoot in Mexico City. As reported previously, most of it is being shot in Mexico.

Typically we don’t post photos like this, but this one really caught my eye. It actually looks pretty damn impressive and I thought it was cool enough to share with all of you. Maybe the set design on this is just incredible and it’s still going to be crap or maybe I’m being fooled and we’ve got a solid action hit in the works?
Dragonball stars Justin Chatwin as Goku, James Marsters as Piccolo, Emmy Rossum as Bulma, Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi, Jamie Chung as Chi Chi, and Park Joon as Yamcha. The movie arrives in theaters on April 3rd, 2009.
Dragonball fans - can you help us figure out what this is? Any clues as to what this might be or how it might be involved in the film?
That does look pretty awesome. I’m very excited for this movie even if it will be bad.

February 25, 2008 - I’ll be brief. I’m sick and my head hurts. It’s that time of year again.No, Oscar Fever is over. It’s the Road to Wrestlemania…Malaria.And I must say, that aside from John Cena and those silly “Money in the Bank” qualifying matches, I’ve got ‘Mania Malaria!Yes, John Cena managed to slip into the Main Event picture once again by beating Orton on RAW this past week. I told everyone to watch for him to eke in there somehow. He sells the most ice cream bars, you know. I think. Do they still have those WWE Ice Cream bars with the wrestlers’ pictures on them? If they do, Cena’s probably spins. Well, he’s going to begin shooting his movie soon, so he’ll be pulling double duty. And after you stop laughing because I said “duty,” you can try and think about the whirl of emotions involved in Trips versus Orton versus Cena. All are loved and hated.For different reasons. Trips is hated for keeping other wrestlers down, Orton for pooping in handbags, and Cena is hated for being…John Cena.Trips is loved for keeping other wrestlers down, Orton for standing up to Trips and HBK backstage, and Cena is loved…by wrong people.
Who to root for? Three people that make me feel nauseous with a twinge of indifference.A match for what Jim Ross makes no bones about calling “the greatest prize” in the game, the WWE title.I’m sure they’ll put on a good show, but I can only hope it’ll be good enough to get me to care. Me?I’ll be marking out during Edge versus Undertaker.
Yes, Edge gets to go into Wrestlemania the World Champion! Yes, it’s true, most of us usually equate the World Belt as a sort of “less than” title, compared to the WWE belt.But right now it’s a “cleaner” title. Reports of a happier work environment on Smackdown help me appreciate the old WCW Strap, realizing that there are no manic, out-of-control egos grasping for it.And since really there are only two main draws on Smackdown, Batista and ‘Taker, it makes sense that the two of them feuded for months and months over this belt.No need to have anyone else challenge Batista, just let him wrestle ‘Taker for three PPVs in a row. Booker T was very unhappy when he got bumped over to RAW. Most people find the move to be a promotion of sorts, but he was sad to be away from the Smackdown camaraderie and spirit. Edge and Undertaker are both pretty physically limited due to a laundry list of injuries, but they’ll both find a way to make the match supremely emotional and engaging.
Meanwhile, it’s hard for anything to compete with ‘Mania, so TNA has the lackluster task of running with their Pay Per View, Destination X around the same time.Now the upside of TNA PPV Main Events is that they have definite finishes. There is a winner. No DQ’s to save the title. The downside is that in order to keep Angle to champion for extra months, they have to resort to A-List Tag Team Main Events.Things that should be on Impact. Cage, Joe and Nash versus the Angle Alliance?Doesn’t exactly make me wanna fork over the dough. Especially the “Nash” part. Also, the only other highlighted match so far is an Elevation X match featuring Rhyno, who’s been gone with a broken jaw, and James Storm, who barely makes it onto regular Impact broadcasting. Speaking of regular Impact broadcasting…this week featured Karen Angle and A.J. Styles’ “honeymoon.”A tribute to Jay Lethal, which saw Sonjay Dutt give sad eyes over So Cal Val’s acceptance to be Lethal’s girlfriend. Looks like Dutt is in line for a little heel turn. We saw Kaz beat Rellik with that back sleeper roll up - the kind that Bret Hart used to beat Roddy Piper at ‘Mania 8.We saw Shark boy team up with Curry Man. And we saw Kurt Angle beat Booker T with an Angle Slam, after a distraction from Robert Roode.Oh, and Kip James turned on Bullet Bob and B.G.Didn’t he turn on them a month ago? I feel like he did. He’s been glowering for a long time.
Now we didn’t see Kong wrestle this week on Impact, but I did see her backhand K.O. Candice LeRae on NWA Showcase! See, as it turned out, all those NWA shows I saw were merely a “countdown” to the real show. And man…instead of coming to us from live outdoor locations, the host David Marquez came to me from in front of a bluescreen studio wall. As it turns out - Kong is the NWA Woman’s champ. It also turns out that there are really sixty or seventy NWA champions all over this world. There’s an NWA Irish Champ in Ireland. There’s an “East Jesus, Indiana” NWA Champ. There’s an NWA Taco Bell Drive Through Fourth Meal Champion. And truth be told, I’m the IGN NWA Champion. Look for me next week as I defend the gold against Eric “Extra Hummus” Goldman at the Santa Monica Pier.So, to run down the show…Mike Quackenbush retained his NWA Juniour Heavyweight Title against Cassandro the Exotic after a double count out. See Cassandro threw Mike of his game by kissing him.See, cuz they’re dudes.That was very outrageous…fifteen years ago. Shoot, just last week I hired two dudes to make out at my mom’s 60th birthday.
