For the last few months…the party girls of the celebrity world have been toning it down. When everything was so very out of control on the scandal sheets, regarding Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and other’s; the papers started focussing on those with the good girl, role model image.
It seemed that they couldn’t wait to build them up; and, slyly they WONDERED IF MILEY CYRUS, and others like her, wouldn’t also soon be on the same path to self destruction. Their headlines screamed a false concern about the future of those in the limelight; would they too end up on drugs/alcohol/addicted to sex, and the partying lifestyle? Please, it is just a ploy to sell newspapers!
Then last year, when Jaime Lynn Spears announced her pre-marital pregnancy…it was almost with glee, that they had another poster girl to shine the light on. Now that Jaime Lynn has pulled back out of the glare of the press…Miley Cyrus has been moved to the front of the line for the tick tock of the self- destruction time bomb that the tabloid rags have been trying to promote.
Last week, there were some photos put online that show Miley in her underwear. She has apologized for those “inappropriate photos”. Then today, there were some pictures taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, for the equally famous magazine Vanity Fair, which Miley says, she thought were going to be “artistic” shots. Even if they would have been purely “artistic” shots….why should a 15 year old be allowed to put it out there for public viewing? Bad decision…someone should have put an end to the idea before it became reality. Teens don’t always want to hear advice about what is right and wrong…but, still someone should have pointed out that this was a really, really, bad idea!
Hello, where were her advisors, the ones from her family or from her show, to guide and protect a barely 15 year old girl from making such a mistake? Was there no contract that gave her creative control over which pictures would be used; thereby, saving her from what she has allegedly described as “embarassment” over these latest pictures? I have only seen one…and that picture shows her wrapped in a sheet with a bare back. If a regular person took this kind of “artistic” shots…because of her age…it could be considered objectionable or suspicious by law enforcement.
Who in their right mind would promote a 15 year old girl in such photos for a magazine? What kind of message is that sending? I mean come on…”artistic” is one thing…but, this is not an adult woman. I think that there are some adults involved here who could have used better judgement.
I know that Miley Cyrus has been upfront about her faith guiding her footsteps. These types of decisions will not only hurt her professionally, but, it can also damage her testimony as a Christian. No, she is not perfect…none of us are. We expect her to make mistakes as she grows up just like the rest of us have; however, eyes are watching her.
However, because she is NOT an adult…it would be wise if her management would make sure that she is better protected from those in the industry who would take advantage of her fame. If her advisors put their stamp of approval on this project…then maybe they need replacing. After all, they allegedly allowed her to be put in this position by making an error in judgement regarding these photos.
