'HSM3' gets rolling, Miley Cyrus speaks out
Various and sundry Wildcats arrived late last week in Salt Lake City for the start of filming on High School Musical 3: High School Musical with a Vengeance (or whatever it will be called). Zac Efron,
Vanessa Hudgens and all the rest were on hand, but not everyone was feeling the East High spirit. E! News says the newly beschnozzed Ashley Tisdale “never cracked a smile and did not socialize with anyone, except Vanessa Hudgens,” and had a police escort by her side at all times. Still, the cast put on their best smileys and somehow managed to remain fully clothed. “We’ve done the first and second one here, and it brings back so many memories,” Hudgens told the Salt Lake Tribune. “Just being here feels like home — being back here with everyone, it’s amazing.” The plot of HSM3 will revolve around Troy and Gabriella’s relationship as they prepare to head off to different colleges. In the interest of realisim, The Juice* hopes to see a touching scene in which the two clique-crossed lovers clumsily culminate their relationship in the backseat of a Ford Focus at a post-prom field party.
Elsewhere in the wonderful world of Disney, Miley Cyrus finally spoke out on the sorta-scandalous photos that have been the talk of every pervert on the Interwebs this past week. According to People, at a concert Saturday night in Orlando for the Disney Channel Games — which is apparently a thing — Cyrus thanked the crowd for standing by her during this tumultuous time: “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.”

I heard about this photo just a few days ago and all I have to say is; How dare you America!
That photo is art and from an artistic standpoint the nudity is extreamly subdued. I mean think about Michelangelo's David. That is David from the bible who as a CHILD defeated Goliath the Giant. The moment of triumph is the moment Michelangelo depicted with his nude sculpture, yet who thinks of the David as porographic? Victorians that's who. Are Americans so sexually constipated that a bare back equals a loss of virtue? Are we Victorians who must cover every bare inch of skin?
Honestly get over it America! She's a 15 year old young woman. A person who is probably just starting to understand and experience her sexuality. If at 15 you want to take a photo that expresses that growing understanding of your self and if that picture can be taken by one of the best photographers alive why shouldn't you?
To America I say, how dare you pervert an innocent photo, how dare you shame an innocent girl and how dare you vilify and destroy art.

LEIBOVITZ AND THE HANNA MONTANA TEARDOWN
Adult market magazines using kids in provocative poses? Is that ONLY inappropriate behavior?

Adult executives know better. They just don’t seem to DO better.
There is nothing innocent about an adult magazine portraying a 15 year old pretending to be naked, hair tousled, wrapped in a bed sheet.

I like Miley Cyrus. Everyone is just waiting for her to slip up and while I know that she hasn't always made the best choices, I think people are jumping the gun by saying, "She is on the same path as Britney Spears". That is uncalled for and mean. I don't think that it is going to happen. It's interesting that even though I am 16 years old, I am still more mature about her than half of the adults out there.
Give her a chance! (Like you never made mistakes!)
