Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Photos: Artistic Nudity or Just Another Publicity Stunt?

Miley Cyrus has yet another racy photo to explain-this time, she goes high-brow, posing for Vanity Fair. The photo, taken by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz (whose silver-toned portraits of such femme fatales as Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie have appeared on past issues of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and other top magazines), appears to feature a topless Miley.

Although she originally saw nothing wrong with the photo, saying "I think it's really artsy...It wasn't in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie," she is now expressing remorse for agreeing to the photo shoot, claiming that the photo "embarrasses" her.

Ahhh...the awkwardness of a budding sexuality and a fickle teen psyche. Even the glossy, blonde Disney creation known as Hannah Montana has to deal with the flip side of growing up.

"THE" photo

Shooting the photo spread.

All that remains to be seen is if Hannah Montana, the teen wonder star, can become Miley Cyrus, the adult.
