A Disney Star's Rite of Passage

In apologizing for the recent spate of inappropriate photos of her that got posted on the internet as well as those seductive Annie Leibovitz pinup shots in Vanity Fair, 15-year-old Miley Cyrus explained, "My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie. 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." Smile, Miley, you achieved your goal; looking at photos of topless 15-year-old girls makes a lot of people happy. (NY Times; photos: Annie Leibovitz; Michael Anthony/INF)
