Marie Osmond: Billy Ray to Blame for Miley Photos
Originally posted 05/08/2008 01:15PM
Like most everyone else, Marie Osmond has an opinion of the Miley Cyrus photos for Vanity Fair. And it's not positive.
What particularly upsets the entertainer (who is herself a mother), is that such an experienced showbiz parent as Miley's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, would leave his 15-year-old alone during a photo shoot.
"My parents never, never left us alone," Osmond, 48, tells AOL Television. "We always had some form of a guardian or something with us, a guardian that would represent what they would have done."

Originally posted 05/03/2008 09:50PM
A week after her controversial Vanity Fair portrait was revealed, Miley Cyrus rocked the stage – and thanked her fans – at the Disney Channel Games concert Saturday night.
"I hope you had an awesome time," Cyrus told the crowd after performing her set. "I saw a sign back there that said, 'Miley, I'm praying for you.' I could not be more appreciative. Thank you guys for all your support. Without you, none of this would be possible. I love every one of you and I could not be more appreciative. God bless you."
Cyrus kicked off the night with "See You Again" and also debuted two new songs, "Fly on the Wall" and "Breakout," off her upcoming album, dropping on July 22.

Miley Cyrus Meets Sen. John Edwards, Skips Red Carpet
Originally posted 05/02/2008 11:40AM
Miley Cyrus may be skipping the red carpet at this weekend's 2008 Disney Channel Games in Florida – "on the advice of her management team," a source tells PEOPLE – but she's keeping plenty busy anyway, hitting the rides, rehearsing for her upcoming performance, and meeting Sen. John Edwards and his family.
On Thursday, Cyrus and her brother Braison rode the rides at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. While in line for the Test Track ride, Cyrus ran into Edwards and his three children. (The senator's youngest two children, Emma Claire and Jack, are Hannah Montana fans who were super eager to meet the star.)

Miley Watches 'Sanitized' Version of Sex and the City
Originally posted 05/01/2008 09:30AM
Along with the controversy surrounding her portrait in Vanity Fair, Miley Cyrus has also been criticized for telling the magazine that Sex and the City is her "favorite show!" – and for comparing the racy series to her Disney mega-hit Hannah Montana.
"I love it!" the 15-year-old singer told Vanity Fair of the former HBO series, known for its candid sex scenes and explicit language. "If you watch Sex and the City, like the way the friends are, the way that it's dry and they all have distinct characters – that's a thing we try to do on our show."
But sources say the criticism is unwarranted. "The show she watches is completely sanitized. She watches it on TBS," says a source close to Cyrus. (TBS airs an edited-for-TV version of the iconic series.) "[Miley's mom] Tish doesn't allow HBO in the house. They only have basic cable."

Miley to Perform at Disney Channel Games
Originally posted 04/30/2008 03:45PM
She may be under fire for her Vanity Fair and Internet photos, but Miley Cyrus will still be center stage Saturday at the 2008 Disney Channel Games.
The Disney Channel stands by their Hannah Montana superstar, confirming that she will perform at the concert wrapping the weeklong charity event held at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
After some private photos hit the blogs – but before Cyrus apologized for the "embarrassing" Vanity Fair magazine shoot – a Disney exec conceded, "the Internet adds a whole new twist to typical teenage life."
"Being the most famous 15-year-old in the world is exciting but fraught with challenges and exceptional responsibility," Gary Marsh, Disney Channel entertainment president, told the Los Angeles Times about their biggest star before the photo flap.

Tyra Banks Supports Miley Cyrus: 'She Is a 15-Year-Old!'
Originally posted 04/30/2008 12:10PM
Don't worry, Miley Cyrus – Tyra Banks has your back.
The model-turned-talk-show host spoke out in support of the Disney star following her controversial photo flap, telling the ladies of The View on Wednesday: "She is a 15-year-old, and I just wish everybody would leave her alone!"
Banks, 34, said provocative photos can come with the territory when you're a young star, and her own mother kept a close eye on her. "There were definitely jobs they would ask me to do," she said, referring to a request for Banks to pose nude for the legendary Pirelli calendar.
But Mama said no-no.

Rosie O'Donnell: 'Leave Miley Cyrus Alone'
Originally posted 04/29/2008 01:30PM
Rosie O'Donnell has Miley Cyrus's back. She's taken to her blog to defend the Disney star after her controversial Vanity Fair photographs set off a surge of criticism.
"Leave Miley Cyrus alone," O'Donnell says in a video posted Monday night. "Disney [is] making her apologize. Ay yi yi."
While some have described the portraits as too risqué – and PEOPLE.com readers deemed them "inappropriate" for a 15-year-old – O'Donnell finds them beautiful, she says, explaining that working with celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz can be an intimidating experience.
