Sadly, it appears Miley Cyrus will be the Britney Spears of the coming decade. Sean’s right, no one comes out of this tawdry episode looking good.

It's patronizing and makes both entities look stupid. Disney has "exploited" children ever since Annette Funicello and will continue to do so as long as people pay the money. So for them to cry foul and say Vanity Fair manipulated a 15 year old girl.....well, they may just want to look in the mirror (quintessential "pot calling the kettle black"). As for Billy Ray Cyrus, he's not going to get my vote for father of the year. He knew exactly what he was doing and it's unfortunate that he has to, after being washed up as a singer, live his life vicariously through his daughter (who's he's supposed to protect from these sort of things). He's no better than Britney or Lindsay's dads. Which is sad....not for the dad's, but the children! Lastly, I'm not letting Vanity Fair off the hook. They should know better than to 1) take those type pictures and 2) to actually put them in a worldwide magazine. Bottom line is shame on EVERYONE!!

If they really felt she was being manipulated, perhaps they should have stepped in as adults and said something. This reeks of Billy Ray Cyrus being caught trying to pimp his daughter out and then doing damage control as a result.
