Miley Cyrus drops the bra
Poor old Miley, eh? People got upset when the internet was awash with a photo of her showing her bra; now, she's taken the bra off and are people happy? Nope. It's not clear quite what Annie Leibovitz and Vanity Fair thought would happen when they ran topless photos of Miley Cyrus, but we suspect the phrase "this will create a magazine-selling hoo-hah" wouldn't have been far from the process.
Miley, for her part, seems to have confused Leibovitz with some sort of God:
Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought it was really cool. That’s what she wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie. I think it’s really artsy. It wasn’t in a skanky way.”
You can, actually, "say no to Annie" - what's she going to do? Not take your photo?
Still, Miley has now realised that not being skanky isn't enough, and issued an apology:
“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. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”
She never intended for people to say "there's that wholesome fifteen year-old kid off the Disney Channel in a shot that looks disturbingly post-coital"? Fancy that.
The photo crew are quick to stress that - although it looks like she's naked, she wasn't actually naked at all. Oh no. Although:
Originally, she was in a flesh-colored tank top but was asked to remove it."
To be fair, anyone wearing a flesh-coloured tank top probably should be asked to remove it, although it could be replaced with something less disgusting.

Aah, but was she asked to remove the flesh coloured top or put it on? And was she walking out of the room or walking in?
Miley Cyrus is apologizing for her Vanity Fair photos? Why? It's her parents who should be apologizing. Were they there during the shoot? If not, why not? If so, then it's their fault. Either way, it's her parents who should be apologizing.
You don't let a 15 year old go to a photo shoot on her own. If you do, then the photos should be approved before being printed.
Geez.
According to the article Simon's post links to, the parents were there, but left before this shot was taken, although MC's grandmother was still there.
the guardian suggests they were there throughout and happy with the shoot, although strangely in the actual paper they print the pic, but not on the website...
...simon, i'm not sure that i'd describe the pic as post-coital anyway, you can imagine they probably wanted to appear cool with the vanity fair vibe and leibowitz is like, y'know, pretty well-respected, it's just that america is so effed that this is seen as a bad thing, don't fall into the trap of agreeing with weirdos off the internets, eh?
