“I didn’t know they were going to strip her down and wrap her in a blanket,” Billy Ray Cyrus, appearing to promote his NBC show Nashville Star, told show anchor Meredith Vieira. Of the seemingly topless shot of his daughter, he said, “I was surprised when I saw it … but, hey, that’s life. Stuff happens.”
I just came across this recent issue of Astro Girl - which tells us the “future” of the stars.
How funny when I came across Miley Cyrus’ horoscope - especially after last week’s Vanity Fair mess.
In the issue Miley asks, “Will I crack under the pressure?”

Disney may be cursing Vanity Fair’s racy Miley Cyrus photos - but only because they came too soon.
“You can’t control the maturing and growing up of individuals, especially girls 12 to 18,” Abbey Konowitch, general manager of Disney’s Hollywood Records, told Portfolio.
What they hoped to control was the public awareness of that maturing.
But in another year or two, when they were ready to move Miley into a different demographic, Disney execs might have come up with the idea and pitched it to Vanity Fair themselves, according to Portfolio.
Last week before the Vanity Fair photo scandal, People magazine featured Miley Cyrus on its cover.
But this week - NOT ONE of the celebrity weeklies featured the scandal as its main cover story.
How could that be?

I SHOULD HOPE SO!
VF.com generated 365,000 page views Sunday night compared to its usual 100,000 page views a day, says executive online editor Michael Hogan.
“Parents aren’t supposed to let their 15-year-olds pose in sexily suggestive ways,” Dr. Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist who spoke with Bonnie Fuller for her blog on the Huffington Post.
“Hollywood has planted a flag and the hill they’ve taken is that you don’t have to be 16, 17, or 18 to announce that you want to be sexy,” points out Ablow. Fifteen is now OK.
I certainly hope NOT!
Rosie O’Donnell is chiming in on the Miley Cyrus photo scandal on her blog.
Are you surprised?
“Leave Miley Cyrus alone,” O’Donnell says in a video posted Monday night. “Disney [is] making her apologize. Ay yi yi.”
