Miley Cyrus [Celebrity Parasite] will appear in the next issue of Vanity Fair TOPLESS![Hollywood Backwash]

The teen star did a photo shoot for Vanity Fair in which she appears to be sitting down topless covering herself with a sheet. I wonder if it is even legal to take photos like these and publish them since she is only 15 years old. And what parent would allow it? Apparently Miley’s. Both parents attended the photo shoot[ninjadude] but claim they had left before the last photos were taken. A source said:

Miley’s grandmother and her teacher were there when she shot it. Annie convinced them it was going to be artistic. Her parents are mortified. They know this is a learning moment for Miley.

With all the bad publicity that Miley has been getting from the photo shoot, she decided to issue a statement to People magazine today, April 27, saying:

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.

Miley also addressed her controversial internet photos in her statement saying:

The pictures of me on the internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone.

We can only hope that Miley’s downward spiral stops here. German Vanity Fair Online is already calling her the next Britney Spears, and I think everyone is beginning to agree.
