In reply to: Allora 's message, "Miley Cyrus" on 21:23:47 04/29/08 Tue

You had some great points and I pretty much agree with you. I am NOT a teenager and haven't been for a while. I am so tired of hearing about these pictures and the media is making too much of an issue out of this. I am not "de-sensitized" but I think a bad choice was made on her behalf -- let's move on. I would have never seen these pictures (I don't buy Vanity Fair) if I didn't see them flashed on the television or talked about all the time. I love her songs and I even watch her show with my son and no, she should not be fired. I am sure her lesson is learned -- especially how brutal and judging people can be

Amen Allora! Well said. Are you really a teenager? I am a Mom of 5, 3 girls (all in college, GEAUXX Tigers!!) and 2 precious boys. I would be so proud of any of my girls for expressing themselves as well as you just did. This is actually the 1st time I have ever written in a blog or anything like that, even tho i think constantly I have to call Kidd Kraddick or write a letter to the editor, or email some news person or whatever, over some such garbage that I hear in the media everyday. But this Miley Cyrus thing has me perturbed. The NBC Nightly NEWS actually featured this story and questioned people on the street about how they felt about this issue, PLEASE GOD, help me before I explode, WE ARE AT WAR and this is what we are talking about on THE NIGHTLY NEWS! The photos of Miley and her friends were in my opinion a mistake, the photos were fairly innocent,teenagers being teenagers but if it were one of my daughters i would have to remind them that anything that gets out on the internet especailly photos have the potential to be viewed by anyone, like a future employer or that person thinking of giving you that fabulous internship in NYC for the summer and they GOOGLE your name and what comes up but you partying, and they make a snap judgement about you, which is what EVERYONE does. So, it's not smart to take photos that you wouldn't want your grandma to see because they will end up on the internet. Miley already having a job, should know better, she should think of her image and what she represents and how young girls look up to her, blah, blah, that's in a perfect world where because you are someone's role model you are expected to be perfect, as Allora points out, she should be allowed a few mistakes, like the rest of us, we should not all loose our jobs for one mistake, SHE SHOULD NOT LOOSE HER JOB BECAUSE OF A CHILDISH MISTAKE, KIDD KRADDICK! I suppose if your daughter gets a job in some broadway show and kids looked up to her and a photo of her gets out of her drapped across some guys lap you'd expect her to be fired. Would you be okay with killing your daughter's dreams over such a trivial thing.But it is okay to cast judgement on Miley Cyrus. Why? As far as the Leibovitz photos, Kidd get your mind out of the gutter!!! The photo of Miley and Billy Ray was beautiful and NO WAY is it inapropriate, AT ALL, and anyone who thinks it is should probably examine why they have a problem with it. My daughter's father passed away when she was 15 and if I had a photo of her with her dad, like that one,which to me portrays a lovingly close bond, that would be so special to have and cherish. MAYBE KIDD IS JUST A DIRTY OLD MAN, not to be able to see that in the photo of Miley and Billy Ray. The way Kidd said he had to not look @ the photos of Miley when he first ran across them on the internet makes me wonder why, it makes me feel oggie about Kidd. Couldn't he see that was Miley hanging out w/ her Buds just as his own daughter prob does? The Leibovitz photo well, not my favorite anyway, but to me it is art, it's Leibovitz, Miley looks sort of stripped of all he glitz and Hannah Montanna image and she's just natural, not sexualized. If I could have an art photo of me at 15 by Annie Liebovitz instead of my lovely school photo, I'd jump at the chance, in a sheet or not. Actually, I wish there was a sheet over my head in my school photo at 15. In fact, that COULD be considered a drape covering Miley and not a BEDSHEET. But here we go in the gutter again, thinking she just rolled out of bed with some hot guy in a bed SHEET. Because it is different it must be BAD!! KIDD AND KELLY i thought you were more opened minded. And as for the discussion that Leibovitz asked the parents to leave the shoot and why didn't they question that in the first place, that is not what happened. It seems they shot the photos of Miley and BR first, he left and she was there w/ her teacher and grandmother. I would not question her parents judgement seems they've raised a hardworking, responsible daughter they can be proud of, lest someone judge my own parenting skills, I do my best but I'm not perfect for sure. Normally when I see celebraties behaving badly I think why do we continue to admire these people that are such idiots, but not this time. Miley Cyrus has nothing to be ashamed of. SO KIDD ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG about Miley, quit being so judgemental, we've all got enough people trying to knock us down in this world and also try to form an opinion of your own rather than what some LA Times reporter thinks. I will probably come across some article today about how the US is afraid (HAHAHAHA, our enemies LOVE that) to make the Saudis mad by demanding lower oil prices because we BORROW $$$ from them!! Is that even true? I thought The government borrows mostly from Social Security Administration. LOVE THE SHOW....
