okay so, if you haven't seen or heard about the racy miley cyrus photos well then... way to go! cheers to you! everyone's favorite 15 year old multi-millionaire posed for Vanity Fair with only a blanket on... miley cyrus has apologized for the photos. the photographer has apologized... vanity fair stands by the pictures saying that miley's parents were there for the whole photo shoot and they okay'd ALL of the photos...
here are my issues...
1. Miley Cyrus is 15 YEARS OLD! ummmm ridiculous... Her parents are to blame for pimping her out. she's a kid.
2. This is Vanity Fair... Not Tiger Beat. WHY ON EARTH IS A 15 YEAR OLD in Vanity Fair with nothing but a blanket on? WHY? what audience is Vanity Fair trying to reach? 5-16 year olds? what audience is the corporation known as Miley Cyrus trying to reach? 30-50 year old pervs? I don't get it...
3. the magazine isn't even out yet... it comes out May 6th... why does anyone know about this? hype. scandal. america's bloodlust for celebrity pseudo-news. so if anyone has any inkling that this is all a cheap stunt for publicity... there's your proof...
4. It still bothers me that this type of pseudo-news fodder is on CNN. Is this really important news? I mean, it's sickening that it has happened. but it reveals a bit about the society that we live in... and the bottom line is that it sells. celebrity news is big money. why? because we buy it. if you want the monster to die, you have to stop feeding it.
5. I realize that I am just as guilty as the next guy for being a sucker for the occasional celebrity pseudo-news tidbit... and I realize that by even writing a blog about this I am in a sense "promoting" it... But I also think to ignore reality and pretend something horrible doesn't exist is probably a bigger travesty... ignoring things won't always make things go away... but where do you draw the line?
in conclusion... I can't say i'm really surprised by this... it's just history repeating itself... britney, lindsay, the olsens, etc... who's next? Dakota Fanning?
