“Hannah Montana” now embarrassed by her Vanity Fair pics

You have probably heard by now that Miley Cyrus is under fire for some pictures in Vanity Fair.

She says she thought the shots were artistic at the time, but now she's just embarrassed. Vanity Fair says her family was present at the shoot and all approved at the time.

Here's a pretty good video clip on the topic:

Miley Cyrus photos too racy?

Miley is 15 and kids as young as kindergarten adore her. My 5-year-old wears her shoes...

QUESTION: Does Miley have a right to be embarrassed? Are the photos a big deal or not even provocative in the first place? Do you think this soils her image at all?

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
