If Madonna were starting out now

... she'd certainly have a spot at the Stadium of Fire if she wanted.

It's all about money.

Duh.

Well

I've known alot of teens who have done awhole lot worse unfortunately. But, I just hope she stays grounded and her managers and parents don't put her on the chopping block. There's nothing wrong with being a moral person even though todays society seems to hate it. Also I would say no to Annie, seems it got Miley nothing but embarrassment and apologizing.

So showing her back is a scandal.
she showed no more than what everyone would see on a sunny day at the beach...
What a word choice and fuss about nothing.

$$$$$$$ is right

Another Brittney Spears.....

Mark my words.......

I remember when mothers were taking their daughters to see Brittney Spears in Salt Lake.... Then the same mothers were trying to REMOVE Brittney's influence from their daughter's lives.....

Watch and see the same thing happen here!!!!!

re: 1:31 am

She is just a kid and is incapable of making sound decisions. Her parents are to blame for this one, particularly her father. I don't see CPS showing up at their door though.

A.) No loving parent should ever let their kids be in the spotlight at such a young age. It has been displayed time and time again that this always ends up badly for the child. Mandy Moore, Britney, Jessica Alba, and countless others.

B.) Her father was at the shoot and took part of it. No sane loving father would EVER allow his daughter to disrobe for a photo shoot no matter how tasteful he thought it was.

I do not doubt her regret, 15 year olds lack the reasoning skills needed to make complex decisions such as these. Apparently her father does too.

Her handlers know exactly what they're doing. It's all designed for publicity.
The photos are perfectly innocent (in fact, quite beautiful) and shouldn't offend anybody. It's Hollywood, folks, and BYU/concert officials understand the value of a dollar as well as anyone. Relax and enjoy the concert.

Madonna would never have wanted a spot at Stadium of Fire.

Following the Britney track?

There's no doubt now...

ps--Is it true she will not be allowed to perform any Hannah Montana Disney-copyright songs at SOF?

Overreaction

Sure the photo doesn't fit her style, but people are overreacting. It wasn't that bad.

It is ludicrous to say that this girl is not already being marketed as a sex symbol, albeit a very soft-core one. The photo accompanying this story isn't exactly modest. So what's got people riled up now, the "artsiness" of the new photos?

Miley fan

Miley, what can I say? Pick your path carefully. There are plenty of folks out there ready to take advantage of you. Good luck girl!

jtm

Lighten up are you really that shocked, MC is a long way from Madonna. Lets all overreact, the world is coming to an end.

Disappointed

Artsy? I've heard that excuse before for soft-porn. Interesting what is considered acceptable for a 15 year old to do in America today. Used to be, that would be considered child pornography--I don't think the fact that it's Vanity Fair rather than Playboy makes that much difference.
Also used to be that a parent who attended such a photo shoot with their "child" (she's only 15, after all, and that's a child, right?) would have been considered to be contributing to the child pornography, and possibly could have been arrested.
Of course, we all know that celebrities are different, but I certainly am disapoointed in both Miley and her parents.

anyone want to give up there tickets? jk. I don't waste my time, money or energy. Plus who wants to be surrounded by a stadium of
Screaming Pre-teenage girls. Maybe the FLDS men? Bad joke.

Stadium of Fire

It shows that sex does sell. Even it's a 15 year old.

Ernest T. Bass

The fact that this is even a possibility shows how truly strange Provo is.
It was a shoulder for crying out loud.

lost in DC

If Miley doesn't think she can say no to Anne, who is the next lech around the corner willing to take advantage of her that she will think she cannot say no to? You can always say no and should often do so.

Grief

I am disappointed that they didn't give Miley her walking papers at the Stadium of Fire. They should cancel her. Those around her knew all too well, what they were doing. You can say "no" to pictures like that, and saying they were embarrassed by the pictures is like saying you would be embarrassed after mooning the press in a public place. If Miley wants to maintain a clean reputation and an innocent persona, this is not the way to do it. She now has a choice, will she follow in the Brittany Spears pathway, or will she learn from this and try in the future to avoid this kind of thing?

Professor

It is all about money. By taking this stand, the Freedom festival has become a glorification of a 15 year old millionaire rock/soft porn star who is has no consequences for her actions.

The leaders of the festival will all be up at the pulpit Sunday preaching against this type of thing. Unfortunately they don't have the moral courage to do the right thing in their own personal lives. They know freedom requires consequence, but no consequence at this Freedom Festival.

This has also become a glorification of those who sexually abuse minor children. Miley is a minor child. It is illegal for an adult to sexually exploit a minor child. (Texas is trying to send us a message on this issue.) Unfortunately no one in our culture has the courage to step up and hold those who sexually abused Miley accountable.

Utah culture seems to have slid into a decadent moral abyss. When the fireworks reach their orgasmic climax on July 4th, I hope someone sheds a tear for the Festivals loss of virtue and the children who were taught fame and wealth atones for bad choices.

Mandy Moore? She left the entertainment world and is not a "train wreck". That being said... I have never encouraged my daughter to look to these teen idols. They are not what I want my daughter to look up to. I try to teach her to be true to herself and do her very best and she will have happiness and success. I don't buy her magazines about teen obcessions and we turned off our cable TV. We only watch DVD's now and that is becomming a rare event in our family. This world is becoming wacked out and I am trying to keep my kids from comparing themselves to it. They are so much happier not having that garbage in our home!
