We agree with Whoopi the most. She's 100% right!

I first of all want to say, Elizabeth Hasselback is a fucking pain in the ass. You say that her parents should have stopped it because she's only 15, and that people should realize that the sexual exploitations of girls like have to stop. Turn on the tv and tell me what shows girls like her watch, Sex in the City, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Girls Next Door, and things like that. What do you expect to happen when girls watch these shows? That magically they won't decide to do the things that they have seen in them? These shows are telling girls that its ok to go to bars with fake ids and get alcohol, and that sleeping with the most popular boy will guarantee popularity. Maybe these network shows should look at what they are putting out there as entertainment. And parents should be watching what their kids are doing more. But please Elizabeth stop taking the "holier than thou, my shit doesnt stink and yours does" approach. You are a washed up tv reality star! Stop bashing other people for making decisions and go crawl in a hole somewhere and live your life! If I never hear another word from your mouth I would be in heaven!
Elisabeth Hasselback is an IDIOT!!! I hate to hear her open her freakin
trap…. When are they going to fire her??? She was on Survivor for God sakes.
We don't see anything in this picture but the girls back.
Big freakin deal!!!! WTF
I think it's all stupid. They need to take a look back in time and look at Britney Spears, and Christina and everyone when they were 15 years old and what they were made to look like and be. She took a freaking picture. Yes, it's a little provocative, but you know what, if you are going to make these girls feel grown up, and then when they do something that would remind you of how young they really are, everyone flips out! She's old enough to make over a million dollars a week, but not old enough to take a picture that has some artistic but yet some sexiness to it? Don't put these girls in these positions if you are going to judge them for living up to what you already look at them for. Live and learn. We all did something stupid when we were 15 years old, fortunately our lives aren't under a freaking microscope everytime we turn around.
People are dying people are starving people are at war with each other and were worried about some slutty white trash pop singer who's going to end up in rehab eventually any way. She has and never will do anything to better society so stop caring and start caring.
i love my dildo
I don't think the pictures are sexual. I think they capture a young girl on the verge of becoming a woman. I would object to the shot of her in red lipstick, a short dress, and laying on the ground with a come hither look on her face before the other ones. The shots of her in the sheet and with her father are beautiful. If you think there is anything sexual about them then you should ask yourself why YOU are thinking of her in that manner. How many of us have photos of our children in the tub or yard nude? Are those now sexual pics also? Shouldn't we all be ashamed of ourselves ? She should be proud of those photos. They definitely portray someone who is pure, innocent, and full of self confidence. I'm sorry this successful young woman felt the need to appease the rest of you judgemental ignoramuses with an apology.
Elisabeth is a freakin IDIOT!!!!!
I don't think it matters how old she is, the shot is beautiful and does not look slutty, it is classy, and miley does have fans older than 9 years old who will read the vanity fair article about her.
Miley is turning into a rich skanky tramp
whoopi is so right. hannah slutana strikes again!
Go Ahead Whoopi!!! you tell 'em!
OH MY GOD.. These cunts should shut the FUCK up. Esp that Elizabeth whore who dosnt know shit from shineola.. She should shut the fuck up. She needs a huge cock in her mouth to stop her from speaking. ICK
yay whoopee…c'mon her parents were there and she is 15 and could have used her own judgement…she displayed very poor judgement and there are no excuses for this
Why is Hasselbitch wearing my Marc Jacobs dress?!!? She's ruined it…
you know i usually dont see the huge deal with things miley does (like the sex and the city thing, what was that about? of course a 15 year old is mature enugh to watch it do you know any 15 year olds? most are more mature than you perez) but this, wow
tbh it should be illegal, i mean if you cant have sex at 15 why the hell can you have your picture taken naked thats going to go around the world. its almost child porn :/ its sick
im 16 aswel, im hardly parental or conservative but mileys took it too far now. my neice absolutly loves hannah montana, shes 6, miley should either should except that SHE HAS TO set a good example for these kids or fuck off and stop acting in kids tv shows. she has a responsibility and if she cant handle it then leave.
The ladies are right on this one. Those pictures go through a lot of people before they are printed. Someone should have said something. Most of the blame should be on Miley's parents, for setting limits and saying no in the first place. Although I disagree with the idea that her fans are getting to the later teens. They start as 8, so now they are 9? 10? now.
This only fuels my dislike of her and her family.
ANyone else notice how much these pictures look like the TomKat shoot?
i…oh dear jesus …No I'm not watching the rest of this clip hearing elizabeth's voice takes years off my life.
Are you serious! I believe that the pics are very classy. Parents have to realize that todays youth have more knowledge on sex, drugs, fashion, etc… Regardless of what a famous person may or may not be doing it. We can't blame celebrities for everything. That is why we teach out children to have a mind of their own. As for Miley congratulations!!! don't feel ashame of the beautiful pictures. You are growing up and everyone has to realize it.
Went to Annie Lebo's exhibit in S.F. yesterday…I have to say, she takes lovely photos. Miley looks wonderful and I think the photos of her are awesome. Let it go…all you see is her back.
All I heard was BALK BALK BALK BALK BALK….. a bunch of fucking chickens.
Haha, Elizabeth got that ugly dress from the new Marc Jacobs White Hot collection. Ugh.
i agree w/ whoopi and also joy…miley's success and fame is extreeeeemely beneficial to billy ray….
Whoopi is so fuckin ugly! I can't stand that hoe!
I think people overexaggerate to the max. When you watch the behind the scenes vid of it or look at the outtakes from thr shoot, in that picture, she is still wearing jeans and has the sheet covering the top. Yes, she is only 15 but I know plenty of younger girls who are way worse than anything she has done or pictures of herself she has taken. People think that 14 and 15 year olds are innocent for some reason, but the truth is, they aren't. They are having sex and im sure they take pictures of themselves too, but since Miley is a celeb they will make headlines that will sell. I just don't think its fair to categorise her as a slut, when im sure each and every one of you know way sluttier girls in highschool. The picture isnt scandalous, so people just need to get over it. Annie Leibovitz wouldnt compromise a child.
u guys need to stop making a big deal over sumtin so stupid
What the hell is up with that dress EH has on???????
Re: yesitis – shut the fuck up bitch!!! david archuleta would probably be the best role model in the entertainment industry today what the fuck is up your ass!? instead you think the miley slut is cute? she looks like that fucking thing in lord of the rings!
Go David!!!!
I've read in another article that her parents were there but they left before the final shots. this picture that they're showing were shot after her parents left and only her grandmother and her teacher were present. i think that miley was manipulated and the photographer no matter how good she is should be more responsible with her action. miley made an error in her judgement when she had her pictures taken provocatively but more on the photgrapher and people from vanity because they should protect miley's reputation first. This people were thinking of the cash they could get from selling their magazine.
For all of you parents who think that seeing this photo is going to make your daughter grow up to be a skank, why don't you go take a look at their myspace page or, wow, talk to them, and see what they are really doing? Because I'm sure your little brats are doing alot worse than her. If you are so lazy and disconnected from your children why would it be a suprise to anyone that you would raise a confused child? Guess what, TV and magazines didn't give birth to your kids, so it shouldn't be raising them! Go ahead and try to blame all of your failures as parents on a 15 year old child if it helps you sleep at night. The truth is that if you bothered to teach your kid any morals you wouldn't be worried about a freaking picture in a ADULT geared magazine influenceing them.
i effing love miley and yeah she is hot
but at the end of the day it wasnt vf's fault or annies fault
it was a thick decision from miley and whoever was with her on set(her granma and teach apparently)
but seriously if i was miley i would not be STUPID enough to fucking POSE NAKED WHEN IM A FUCKING DISNEY STAR,,,
sorry but her srupidity just makes me angry
and her face doesnt even look that great
dont know what posessed her to do it
its really not helping her 'im a good girl' label
What's the big deal?! This girl shows her bare back and suddenly she's in the middle of a heated sexual scandal? What is this, the 1880s?! The photo of Miley Cyrus on Vanity Fair is much less horrifying when you compare the way she's portrayed EVERYWHERE else in the media: her face caked with tons of makeup, he head covered by those fake looking wigs, a huge fake smile plastered across her face etc. Geez, take away everything fake about her and suddenly she's Ms. Teen Harlot 2008. I'd say she's setting a BETTER example for her fanbase. At least lounging around in a blanket is a lot more low-key than the over-dramatic , over acted, totally fake image that she's constantly projecting. I'll tell you one thing, you uptight parents need to take a few deep breaths and chill the hell out!!
Re: Marcia – That's so true. Way too many parents expect television to follow their mindsets and socialize and raise their kids, but that just is NOT the way to raise your children.
there is nothing wrong with these photos. get over it already.
I think she's doing all this to make people talk about her , and it actually works , that's sad , she's stupid and bad looking .
and that thing she always making with her mouth AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that's horrible STOP IT ! I totaly cant stand it !
The picture of the girl with the sheet covering her breast was inappropriate. And the picture of her with the dad is not cool. I didn't recognize the man as her dad in the pic until the ladies pointed this out. Even if it had not been her dad it's not cool…she's a child.
Miley and her "handlers" (um, mom/dad, Disney) must really think we're a bunch of idiots. Annie Leibowitz is an amazing photog, and they HAD to know what kind of shots she was going to take. GIVE ME A BREAK. They want this new image of Miley. Remember all the "leaked" racy photos". She's crying "poor me", but this is just a way for her to make more money and show more skin. Disgusting. Her fans are 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 yrs old. She's done with them…and wants a different audience. She's f*ckin 15…way to go Billy Ray, whoring out your daughter.
this is so f-ing ridiculous. i mean, the photos are FINE, people!
Yayyy go whopppieee!
How long will her parents keep pimping their slutty daughter out? Before Miley i bet they were broke. LOZERS.
It isn't as tho she's showing off her boobs or anything. American's can be so prudish! Annie L.'s photos are always artistically done. I agree with Whoopi, everyone knew exactly what was going on and now that there is a controversy and the Moral Majority are up in arms, Disney is afraid, very afraid! Make up your mind kids, do you want expoit the 15 year old while she still has a couple of good years left or do you want to pretend to be offended when people say she's slutty. Can't have it both ways. And Joy is absolutely correct, those pictures with Big Daddy left me feeling slightly ill and quite dirty.
JEEZ
.
how many ways can we say this from sideways

BILLY-RAY - PEDOPHILE

who has their 15 year old daughter make apologies to their fanst?????
.
PEDOPHILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PEDOPHILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PEDOPHILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The View? Joy is a leftwing nut whore. Justify the pics because "her fan base is getting older". Who says?
When Joy asks if anyone thinks Billy Ray is trying to resuscitate his career with these photos, Whoopi says "no, I think we're over-thinking this" But come on, if it weren't for Hanna Montana, would Billy Ray have gotten on Dancing with the Stars and would anyone care about him now? NO!!
Oh, and BTW people her name is Miley Cyrus not Jesus Christ so please stop expecting her to be perfect.
YOU should be your child's role model, not another 15 yr old who's going through the same pressures and problems your kid has x10 because she lives under a microscope and is constantly judged by people like the old hags on the View.
age inappropriate and father/daughter inappropriate.
as I've always said, Mliey's birth was Billy Ray's lucky day. Trust.
Yeah whoopi's right.
what the eff miley? thousands of little girls follow your every move so LETS GO TAKE SOME NAKED PICTURES!
you arent the sharpest tool in the shed now are ya miley
screw what the view says, she has fuckin' clothes on in the picture with her dad. & every teenage girl is going to need her space & grow up a little. The only reason she get shit for it is because she's a disney girl, that's ridiculous. whateves i support miley.
BIG FUCKING DEALLLLLL. Its her back, get over it
i dont think they are too racy. She's 15, not 10.
She looks beautiful. People are such hypocrites
EXACTLY! Where was Patty McTeague (hag) that day?
THIS IS STUPID… WHY IS IT OK FOR MODELING PLACES TO GO AND SIGN SOME 12 YEAR OLD GIRL AND MAKE HER WALK DOWN RUNWAYS WITH HER TITIES SHOWING… LET MILEY BE …. FUCK ITS NOT LIKE SHE IS EVEN SHOWING ANY SIDE BOOB…OH VA JAY JAY CURTIN
Miley is dumb.
Miley's parents are fucking dumber.
They need their asses beat. My father wouldn't agree to me doing any nude pics and I'm 21. Nor would I ever agree to my unborn child to do so.
They weren't blinded at that photoshoot. This vanity fair spread sends off a horrible message to kids. Everyone was mad at britney spears when she was 18 and she stripped off her clothes at the MTV awards and that was a performance.
ANY PERSON IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULDN'T LET THEIR CHILDS BODY BE SHOWN IN A MAGAZINE, ESPECIALLY AT THE AGE OF 15. THIS GIRL IS GETTING FASTER AND FASTER.
WHY DO YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO POSE NUDE WITH A SHEET ON? THERE'S NOTHING BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THIS SHOT. SHE LOOKS DRUGGED, HER HAIR IS MESSED UP AND NO ONE WANTS TO SEE SOME FLAT 15YR OLD MAN BOOBS.
IF THEY WANTED A BEAUTIFUL SHOT THEY COULD HAVE THOUGHT OF 100 WAYS TO DO IT , WITH HAVING THIS LITTLE GIRL NUDE. HER PARENTS ARE GOING TO ALLOW HER TO DO WHATEVER THE HELL SHE WANTS AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FOR THE BEST. HE MIGHT AS WELL LET HER WEAR NO PANTIES AND HANG OUT WITH LINDSEY BLOHAN. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH HER PARENTS EXPLOITING HER LIKE THIS. THAT'S GROSS AND SICK. THERE IS NO GOOD FATHER OUT HER THAT WOULD ALLOW THEIR DAUGHTER TO DO A NUDE SPREAD. THEY WOULD KILL THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THEIR DAUGHTER FOR EVEN THINKING IT WAS A GOOD IDEA!!!
oh my god she doesnt look like a slut this whole story that is being played everywhere is so stupid i mean give her break she took a picture! it is not that risqué, there are loads of pictures of other teenage icons who when they were 15 had more flashier pictures than that. she is getting all this shit from he media becuse people just can't comprehend that a new young artist doesnt have a drinking or drug problem like a majority of the other teen stars in the spotlight.give her a fucking break and get over it
Knowing her history look at the other racy photes that were taken by herself this issent to bad 4 her but she a slut!
WHOOPI IS SOOO RIGHT!!
i really dont think its a bad picture. i dont particularly like miley but i have to agree that this isnt a racey photo. its called art and people need to understand that the human body is not something that needs to be hiden. I mean yeah in this day and age you should go waking around naked or anything (unless your a nudest) but showing your back!? i mean come on people get over it and move on with your lives! there are other people doing way worse stuff out there and we are worried about a 15 year old showing her back. there are dresses that show more skin than that and people dont seem to have a problem when someone wears a dress like that.
I agree with Whoopi too. everyone is definitely overthinking this. There are more pressing issues in this world than a photograph of Miley Cyrus. If she was 6 or 22, this photo would not be a national issue.
What type of father would do that ?
This is NOT up to the morals of one person vs another. You'll find that these kinds of pictures are actually illegal in most states, - California being one of them. The father (as guardian/enabler) and Liebowitz (as photographer/enticer) are in some VERY hot water. The law specifically states that these types of pictures cannot be taken for money and distribution if the subject is under 18, - and the KID obviously is.
I AGREE W ELIZABITCH, TOO … THE PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KID AT THE TENDER AGE OF 15 … THE DAD'S A COUNTRY HOBO FAME WHORE, AND THE MOM'S A SKANK … WHAT DO YOU EXPECT??
For someone who doesn't have any kids you sure are judgemental. I'm not saying that I condone it, but from an artists perspective this could be nothing but pure love for her family and FANS. You are the one giving false judgements.
What is wrong with her parents? She's a child and only 15 not 25.
Yes alot of people are saying put Britney Spears did it but Britney was of legal age not 15! Little girls as young as 2 like Hannah Montana what kind of message is this sending to little girls that it's ok to act like Miley on the cover Fanity Fair? NO WAY!! Fanity Fair is a TRASHY MAGAZINE!! How low CLASS for that Annie whatever the heck her name is to "PUSH" Miley and HER PARENTS.
dude, when i was 15 i was getting drunk in parks and having sex–
15 is not as young as it used to be
They are correct about her fan base getting older. She's now attracting alot of horny guys in their 40's and 50's.
I'm still surprised and SAD, to think that in the states, there's no better thing 2 do than talk about some photo. WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS.
which world are you living in???????????????????
Please like she didn't know what she was doing. The photo shoot wasn't even the first. Did anyone even see her on Idol Gives Back? Prancing around like a little slut. People need to stop being worried about what Miley is doing and watch what their own kids are doing.
i thnk shes tryna cOver up thangs, as u get older u want to try new things and she obv knew wot she was doin,
she has no shame in it either do the parents their jus money hungryy!
and imange how much money they wud get to interview them,! hmmm!
love u perez xxox
bt i dont thnk shes a slut. that word is horrible.it does alot to u!
First of all, there is nothing wrong wtih the picture second, its only fuckin old ppl that have a problem with it, they all should go fuck themself. and whats whoopi talking about shes fuckin OLD AND NASTY !!!! she only wished she can look like that
Remember this approval is from the same moron who sang achy breaky heart! I hate to say Whoopi is correct her parents had the opportunity to say no and they didn't. By the way isn't this child porn and all involved should be arrested!
Totally agreed.
OMG! THe pics are ok! In light of her homemade camera phone pics (Not appropriate) it may look bad, but it's an innocent photo. Leave the damn child alone!! She is growing up and they are only acting like that because she was on disney and has young fans. she cannot stay young forever! At least she isnt in a thong or panties aka Britney spears in her early days. GET OVER IT! DAMN!
This picture is so scandalous yet, they find it appropriate enough to blow up to massive proportions and display on live tv….hypocrit much?
People!!!!.. Stop comparing this girl to Britney.. She will NEVER EVER be her!!!.. She is the Madonna of our generation… She can imitate Britney all she wants but she'll never be her… Sure Britney started in Disney too.. But that was when she was a kid.. Then …Baby One More Time's video was a little sexual giving her an immediate broad audience. Miley has kids and pre-teens. Come on.. She will NEVER EVER and doing that magazine was stupid.. Her pose isn't cover material.. The Rolling Stones magazine Britney was in.. Thats how you do it. So there.. You can't compare her..
GO WHOOPI! ditch the slut
Billy and Mileyhave such big careers , Billys going on 18 yrs. ( some of you fuckers tryed to stop it it wasn't stopped , he's to much )Mileys still got yrs to do what all her dads done but she got a good start , them doing a photo shoot and the photographer and all telling them how to pose , look etc , Billys so beautiful for yrs and yrs all he's gotta do is just stand there with a straight face and people will still say oh he's do'n this and that , the pictures are beautiful and from the way their poseing I know they don't won't to have sex with each other etc. so how could I look at it that way and from knowing Billy and Miley I didn't see anything wrong , those that don't know their the ones think'n somethings wrong ha how many times that happens in life , the photographer shes a photographer see knew how the world would see it, I am pissed at her violateing Billy and Miley ( a lawsuit?) If you dont know Billy and Miley how could you say its this way or that , you can't …. you sluts calling Miley a slut just remember your still the slut , not miley ! Billy don't need Mileys money , he has plenty of his own , - so even other stars don't know what their talk'n about cause no Billys never been gone , he's just as strong as ever, believe me this last 18 yrs Ive been right beside Billy and his career has wore me out yr after yr , me think'n man does he ever stop just for alittle !! Ha go to bed silly people , go away …
Yes, the picture is nice. But she is only 15 and even though Miley C. thinks it's cool as an adult later on she will relize what a bad move Vanity did against her to sell there magazines.
Re: gsphot – Fuck u bitch!! NO HATERZ ALLOWED
You tell them Whoopi, I agree ith you!
I don't think its bad at all.
shes not showing anything inappropriate so it shouldn't matter.
This is being blown out of perportion.
Shes great and a extremly good rolemodel for girls.
She did nothing WRONG!
STOP making this such a big deal all you miley HATERS!
