Suddenly Miley Cyrus Wants to Work With Annie Leibovitz Again

After doing everything possible to paint Annie Leibovitz as the bad guy in the whole Vanity Fair debacle, teen idol Miley Cyrus suddenly can’t wait to strip down in front of Annie’s camera again.

From a new interview with Britain’s Daily Record:

In April, she sparked controversy over a picture which appeared in Vanity Fair, taken by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz, which showed Miley with her bare back exposed and her front covered with just a bedsheet.

She was just 15 and the picture outraged America’s moral majority.

“Everyone outside of America liked it a little bit more because that’s more like the style, but the States are really conservative. guess I just had to deal with that and just realise that I got to work with an amazing photographer,” Miley explained.

“And that’s what I want to do with my life. I would love to be a photographer. She was amazing and so talented and her lighting… I would love to work with her again. But I realise I’m just a kid.”

I’m glad she has the self-awareness to call herself a kid, but she probably should have checked with her dad before praising Annie. He’s the guy who called her a paparazzi and suggested that Leibovitz was into child exploitation.

But maybe he’s come around to realizing that if he wants her to have a post-Disney career — and boy does he ever — she needs to not alienate one of the finest celebrity photographers in the business.

    Annie Leibovitz isn’t the only one into child exploitation. I mean, these shirts aren’t gonna sew themselves.

    Wasn’t ol’ Billy Ray on the set when the pictures were taken? He could have stopped it at any time since she is a minor and he’s the parent. I guess it’s ok with him to expose his teen daughter like that. If that was my kid, I would have clocked Annie one, famous photographer or not. And, no, it’s not conservative. It’s called taking care of and protecting your kid.

    I’d hit it, in 3 years or so of course.

    Chris Hansen on line 1 for Jrod.

    Jrod, she should be legal in most states at 16. You can make a Heidi Klum, Heidi Montaag, Jessica Simpson sandwich with Miley. Sounds delicious.
    I’m going back to a point I made on a post when Miley had yet another round of “stolen” sexy photos appear on the internet: Miley is a giant dumb ass. I’m going to go a step further and say that her dad is also a giant dumb ass. Giant dumb assess have a tendency to raise other giant dumb asses. It’s nature. Sadly for Miley, she will be happy playing the casino circuits in just a few years.

    “Everyone outside of America liked it a little bit more because that’s more like the style, but the States are really conservative.”

    That’s because outside of America, it’s easier to be an open pedophile. France made a hero out of Roman Polanski for raping a 13-year-old and Woody Allen for taking up with his partner’s teenage daughter.

    “Suddenly Miley Cyrus wants to try and get more publicity out of an umcomfortable America”

    That should be the header…lol.

  8. 8 Aleric Dec 4th, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    With correct spelling of course….duh.

    Miley Cyrus is a trashy, fame whoring hypocrite that needs to fade into obscurity along with her father, who set the South back 30 years with that annoying song and that stupid mullet.

    Annie’s pictures were tastefully done in my opinion, and I don’t think that they were in any way exploiting her. The way she and half of America acted, however, you’d have thought she’d done a spread for Hustler.

    The pictures of her that got conveniently leaked, however, were just this side of legal and made the Annie incident an even bigger, sadder joke. Now she’s making nice? She and Daddy must be desperate.

    well said chronic! miley is only 16 and im SO sick of hearing about her. hopefully this is all over before shes 20.. but i doubt it. blah

    “That’s because outside of America, it’s easier to be an open pedophile. France made a hero out of Roman Polanski for raping a 13-year-old and Woody Allen for taking up with his partner’s teenage daughter.”

    Umm, SG are you for real? That comment is just tooo stupid and racist for me to believe that you are serious. Are you? No, surely not. No one could be that offensive and retarded at the same time. The French love Jerry Lewis not Jerry’s kids.

  12. 12 Chronic Malanga Dec 5th, 2008 at 8:05 am

    She’ll be in Playboy at the age of 18, katie. ;)

  13. 13 Habanada Dec 5th, 2008 at 10:08 am

    Still trying to comprehend Jake’s comment–not the clearest thing ever composed–um, SG, I agree so much with you, and on the topic of the actual post . . . I would have to say that *honestly* it was no more whorey or provocative or disgusting than the clothing she wears all the time anyway.

    Hey, Jrod, get her to Canada and the legal age of consent is 14. Oooh . . .

  14. 14 Jake Dec 5th, 2008 at 12:10 pm

    No one likes a sock puppet SG/Habanda. Stick to being one racist person at a time. You dont want to spread that intellect of yours too thin…

  15. 15 TheFerret Dec 5th, 2008 at 4:12 pm

    Uh, Jake…. take your head out of the tv and pay a little attention.

    Roman Polanski lived in France because if he set one slimy foot back in the States, he would have been hauled off to jail for child rape faster than you could come up with a coherent sentence. Now, you might have to call a legal firm in France to get the exact laws regarding pedophiles over there, but Polanski being able to live his “Hollywood” life freely and opening there, while avoiding here, is a really good indicator of how seriously the gov’t of France took the issue, doncha think?

    And to bigmama – amen, sister!

  16. 16 StrawberryGirl Dec 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pm

    Racism? Socks? And I’m the retard?

  17. 17 Habanada Dec 7th, 2008 at 4:42 pm

    Jake–So the only way a whole two people could disagree with you is if they were the same person pretending to be two different people? I’m sorry, but part of growing up is learning that sometimes people don’t agree with us! I can agree with StrawberryGirl without being her–which, I am not her.

    Maybe you should just try re-wording your original comment in a way that makes sense instead of making a fool of yourself.

  18. 18 Habanada's Doppleganger Dec 7th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    Yeah, Jake! Habanada is sooo right. Seriously.
