She's just being Miley...

Just to throw my two cents in on this whole Miley discussion... I definitely don't think there's anything wrong with what she did, but it was a terrible career choice.  If she was a few years older, this would be a different story, but the fact that she is only 15 years old makes all the difference.  These kids on the Disney channel represent a brand, and that brand does not promote posing almost nude for photo shoots.  I don't know how her father let her do this photo shoot though.  Up until now he has kept such a close watch on her, and she's usually so mature and intelligent when it comes to her career.  This whole thing makes me think of Jamie Lynn Spears with her pregnancy and its effect on Nickelodeon.  Both girls were pretty much icons for their respected channels, and then a scandal completely changed the public's opinion of them.  This photo shoot will generate the image of Miley as a sex symbol, and the Disney channel definitely does not market their shows this way.
