It was on the radio this morning, and will likely be all over the gossip TV shows later today, and it has me seeing red.  But not for the reasons you might think.

Miley Cyrus (Hanna Montana) had some half-naked, sex kitten photos taken by Annie Leibovitz, renowned celebrity photographer (and now, pornographer), for an upcoming Vanity Fair issue.

What’s making me mad?  Not Miley Cyrus.  She’s 15.  She’s entitled to make some stupid decisions every now and again, but being a celebrity, I have to think that every move, positive or negative, is amplified ten-fold.  Nah, she’s not making me mad.  Billy Ray Cyrus, following in the pimp-my-daughter footsteps of Papa Joe (Look At Her Cans!) Simpson, was present for the photo shoot, was even in the frame for some of them, so I have to assume he approved (and even encouraged) the shoot.  “C’mon, Miley - make daddy proud and show ‘em them boobies.”

Seriously - Billy Ray is closing in on 50, yet he keeps the hair and face like he’s due on the set of Real Housewives of Orange County.  Creepy.  Moms, hide your underage girls if Achy Breaky is touring with Hanna Montana.  A quick tour of his wikipedia page shows that he spreads his seed around.

Miley also has an agent.  Maybe dude gets his freak on with pictures of underage girls, and lucky him!  He represents one.  “Let’s see if I can lube the wheels of media to make a sexy photo shoot with my client a reality” he thought to himself.  Kudos on the big score.

The reason they don’t let kids of this age make some of the really big decisions is because they may not be capable of understanding the consequences that may come down the line.  That’s why they (and the law) rely on their parents or other adults looking out for their best interests.  Glenn Gulino (agent) and Miley’s dad failed her.

Now I’m off to go put another layer of clothing on Agalia, and tell her to never trust a boy with streaked highlights in his hair.
