With Miley Cyrus Scoop, Entertainment Tonight Solidifies Position as First-Stop Crude Shop

Entertainment Tonight was drooling over its weekend scoop that Vanity Fair had pried Miley Cryus' top off for Annie Leibovitz's camera, airing promo spots about the June Vanity Fair that would feature Disney's cash machine in the semi-buff, from behind.

Parents hitting the blogs have called foul; some are labeling the whore affair child porn.

For its part, Miley's corporate parent is blaming Graydon Carter's book: "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," said a Disney spokesperson.

And while Conde Nast fends off the second unwanted scandal – that dares disprove the "all press is good press" mantra – following Vogue's race-baiting Giselse-LeBron cover, the CBS tabloid show also finds itself in familiar surroundings.

While it doesn't have a two-timer rehab host to deal with, Entertainment Tonight does arrive fresh off February's Heath Ledger scandal, when it nearly aired the $200,000 footage of Heath snorting coke at a 2006 SAG Awards after party — and nearly lost access to a whole roster of celebs when Hollywood turned up its nose.

And with that footage now at the center of former People staffer's lawsuit, claiming she was set up by paparazzi agency Splash news, Entertainment Tonight now finds itself airing "exclusive" near-child porn. Major scoop!

    The Vanity Fair pictures are perfectly pleasant. There is nothing unseemly about them at all. Furthermore her parents and/or minders were present at all times and were able to see the digital photos immediately. In fact her parents are actually pictured in several of the photos.
    I guess the “apology” is for the purpose of drumming up curiosityabout the article since ordinary Vanity Fair readers probably have no interest in this girl whatsoever.

    Soccer moms and the uninformed have fallen for the biggest PR stunt of '08. Her and Achy Breakey Dad have pulled off the best campaign for publicity ever. They knew what they were doing when 'kiddie porning up their little girl. Looking forward to the Penthouse/Playboy/God forbid Hustler spread in eight years. NOT!!!

    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.
