We broke the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Picture storm story yesterday, and it is the hot news item around the world. Today has been a day of apologies

The lady who took the infamous photos Annie Leibovitz has issued a statement to apologies about the semi-topless picture she took of Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus.

Annie Leibovitz said

I’m sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together, and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it.

“The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little make-up, and I think it is very beautiful.”

Miley Cyrus has found her self in the news for photos released of her, this time for a series of pictures in Vanity Fair Magzine

 The Vanity Fair photo spread of Miley Cyrus has been released!

On Sex and the City: “It’s my favorite show! I love it! Obviously not the scenarios. But if you watch Sex and the City, like the way the friends are, the way that it’s dry and they all have distinct characters—that’s a thing we try to do on our show.”

On the infamous semi-topless shot: “No, I mean I had a big blanket on. And I thought, This looks pretty, and really natural. I think it’s really artsy.”
