Yes, that’s right. Disney’s Hannah Montana, aka Miley Cyrus, has fallen victim to the artistic photo shoot. Taking a road that so many others before her have dared to go down, the teenage pop sensation posed nearly nude for a forthcoming edition of Vanity Fair. The pictures, which began circulating online over the weekend show a seemingly topless Cyrus draped in a cloth that looks like a bed sheet. Other photos include her Dad, country music star Billy Ray Cyrus.
Cyrus released a statement on Sunday saying that she was “embarrassed” by the photos.
“My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with [photographer] Annie [Leibovitz]. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,” The singer said to People magazine.
In a statement from the Disney Channel,, a representative said, “Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines.”This incident comes on the heels of other circulating photos that picture the young star in some racy positions with friends. Some show Cyrus in her underwear, lowering her tank to show her lime green bra, and even kissing a girlfriend. The Vanity Fair article addressed the earlier photos with questions to which Miley’s response was a little less than apologetic.
“It was me,” she told the magazine, “on my MySpace. For me, I was like, That’s two girls — it’s not a big deal. … I was just like it didn’t affect me.”
It’s true, the girl is a teenager and under constant scrutiny, but what does she expect? She is one of the highest paid teen celebrities in the business, of course they are watching your every move and just waiting to eat you alive.

The Christian faith celebration that commemorates the risen Saviour, Easter, comes early this year. March 23rd will bring Sunday morning sunrise services, brand-new brightly colored dresses and yes, Easter baskets full of chocolates, those gross marshmallow chicks and plastic eggs.
So, where does the tradition come from? The notion that an over-sized rabbit sneaks into homes across the country to deliver fake grass-filled baskets of goodies is absurd…unless you are five. For centuries, children have anticipated the annual arrival of the Easter Bunny.
The origins of the Easter Bunny actually have nothing to do with the Christian celebration of Easter, and actually derive from pagan lore that considers the hare and the rabbit among the most fertile animals known. They served as a symbol of the new life that the Spring season brings. Parents would tell their children that the magic hare would come bearing gifts during the Spring festival.
The symbol of the bunny began in Germany in the late 16th century and has leaked into American culture to become the iconic bearer of Spring that we know today as the Easter Bunny.

You’ve seen them strut down the runway in barely-there lingerie or designer clothing, with all eyes fixed on their 20 inch waists and seamless physiques, but why this line of work? Why would these women choose to subject themselves to rigorous workouts, insane diets and not to mention to cruel criticisms from the rest of the world? For the fame? Maybe. For the fortune? Definitely! It is estimated that Victoria’s Secret model, Gisele raked in over $15 million in 2005 alone!
Forbes Magazine ranks Gisele as the highest paid model in the industry, followed by model turned reality show host Heidi Klum. The 34-year-old has really accelerated her career with the hit designer reality series, Project Runway. The show is in its fourth season and ratings are better than ever. Forbes estimates that Klum makes more than $7 million per year.
Also on the list are Tyra Banks, Kate Moss and Adriana Lima. At an estimated $6 million per year,Tyra Banks has her hand in just about everything. Though her modeling career was officially put to rest, Banks is producer and host of her own talk show and she has three more projects in the works including a made-for-tv movie. Kate Moss made an estimated $5 million and last is Lima with an estimated $4.5 million.

After the Golden Globes were canceled due to the writers strike, it was only a matter of time until the celebs found a reason to get back in their best dress again. It appears they went all out for this one, especially with accessories. Even Ana Ortiz, the start of Ugly Betty wore more than $500,000 in Kwiat Diamonds. Strapless dresses seemed to be the hit on the red carpet, but Eva Longoria looked especially hot in her white open back dress from designer Naeem Khan. The best dressed pics can be seen here.
PEOPLE magazine and the Entertainment Industry Foundation sponsored the after party. The stars kicked up their heels and celebrated through the night. Pictures can be seen here.

It was a busy Halloween in LA and New York. All our favorite pop tarts (and pop wrecks) were out in their best, well thought out, totally original costumes. Lets start with everyone’s favorite creepy eyed socialite, Paris.

Paris was sporting some seriously scary contact lenses. Not sure why as they don’t really go with her outfits; Sailor, Alice in Wonderland, Jailbird, and Army. All four versions were seen in and around the Hollywood area this week.

For those who were looking for some “crazy,” Britney was sneaking into places in some sort of costume (if you have never seen Brit in a “hi-resolution photo,” consider yourself warned before clicking the link).
Rounding out this years not-so-spookiness, Haylie Duff, Petra Nemcova, Eve, and Heidi Klum.

Kudos to Klum on putting some thought into her costume and not just pulling something out of the closet… Like Kate Beckinsale did (below)!

Well, after Esquire magazine branded Charlize Theron the sexiest woman alive, there was no doubt Maxim magazine would have to label someone just the opposite. The lucky person to receive the “Unsexiest woman” award is none other than “Sex in the City” star, Sarah Jessica Parker, 42. While we wouldn’t go so far as to call her the unsexiest, I guess the public thinks otherwise. We could think of far better candidates for that award. Rounding out the top five on the list: (2) Amy Winehouse, (3) Sandra Oh, (4) Madonna, and (5) the always classy Britney Spears. You can read the rest of the article on Maxim’s website.

At 32 years of age, Charlize is definitely looking good. After having achieved such awards as an Oscar, Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild award, Esquire has voted her the sexiest woman alive for 2007. You can read the in depth interview with some great pictures of her here.

Why would Paris go on the David Letterman show and not expect Letterman to grill her about her recent stint in the big house. After coming on the show, Letterman proceeds to get a few “digs” in about her recent time in jail. She responds with a visual feeling of discomfort, only to tear up after a few repeated questions by Dave. I seem to recall her saying that this made her “stronger”. She should have never agreed to come on the show knowing that the “jail” subject would definitely be touched on by Letterman. You can see the video here:
