Mylie Cyrus, the squeaky-clean Hannah Montana and resident Tween icon brought her game to the big leagues perhaps thinking it was still just a family picnic. Seems like just another cog in the Disney line-up of young seemingly innocent teens who are pushed to places they don’t belong.
You can be 15 years old. You can be nice and sweet. But if you are going to keep
your has-been Dad employed and the studio bosses happy, forget acting like a 15 year-old. As proven by Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, naughty sells - not nice. And the more you dress and act like a hot 19 year-old, the more the cash rolls in.
Every time I see footage of Mylie Cyrus in concert I ask, “she is 15 years old?” Older stars routinely play younger-aged characters in movies and on TV. And it seems younger stars keep being pushed to look and act older.
And so it is with the photos of Cyrus by celebrity photog, Annie Leibowvtz. I am sure it seemed like a good idea to be on the cover of Vanity Fair. I suppose the plan made sense given the reputation of Liebowitz. I don’t doubt that Cyrus and her parents reviewed the plan and reviewed the photos.
Shelley Fralic, from the
“As for that sultry photo, you can bet your east-side fixer-upper that not one person going into that photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz, including Disney or her parents, didn't know what would come out the other end, and that it would hardly be suitable for the average mall rat.”
