"Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus has issued an apology after posing for a racy photo shoot.

The 15-year-old actress was photographed by acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz wearing just a blanket for Vanity Fair magazine.

Teen star Miley Cyrus has admitted embarrassment over her recent picture scandal. The 15-year-old actress/singer has issued an apology for her provocative shots that rounded on the Internet last week.

Cyrus tells People magazine in an exclusive statement:

Another Disney Channel star Brenda Song has defended pal Miley Cyrus over her recent racy pictures scandal.

The "Suit Life of Zack and Cody" star says of the "Hannah Montana" star's recent brush with scandal, "I love Miley. I think she's a very talented actress and singer. Whatever she does in her personal life is her personal life."

Miley Cyrus has found a hero to defend her good name from her leaked racy pictures in the form of friend Joe Jonas.

The 15-year-old lead vocalist of the Jonas Brothers says in an interview with "Yo on E!", "We're good friends of hers, and we got her back and we love her to death."

A young girl resembling Miley Cyrus is flashing some skin on the Internet. Although it may or may not be the "Hannah Montana" star, the coincidence is enough to make headlines as the circulating pictures bear a striking resemblance to the star.

Cyrus, who so far has kept a nice G-rating during her rise to fame, has quickly turned into a 15-year-old superstar thanks to the Disney show, her world tour, albums and a movie. Many suspect it isn't Cyrus on the Internet, because it isn't the first time risqué photos of someone resembling Cyrus have circulated online.

Miley Cyrus' squeaky clean image is under attack again as new racy pictures allegedly featuring her showing off a little skin with a boy surface on the Internet.

One of the pictures allegedly shows Cyrus, 15, tugging on her tank top to reveal her green bra while she makes eye contact with the camera. Another has the sold-out concert performer laying beside her guy friend with her black shirt pulled up to reveal her stomach while the guy's hand rests on her hips.
