Sally Field visited ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ on Friday night, where the veteran actress was asked about whether she had heard about the Miley Cyrus controversial pictures in Vanity Fair magazine. “I did. I didn’t look for them. They just - you know, if you happened to be watching the television you couldn’t miss it,” Field said. “I have two little granddaughters, and over Christmas we were together. I watched 1,000 episodes of ‘Hannah Montana’, which is truly wonderful. It’s just divine. And she’s a very talented young career ahead of her. So she’s going to do things that the audience doesn’t like. And I think in this moment, Disney was upset. It’s a huge franchise, and I understand all of that. All of that I get. But I mostly get how hard it must be for her right now, saying, ‘Yikes, did I do the wrong thing?’ And she’s got to figure out who she is outside of ‘Hannah Montana’. Where is her life and her career going to go? She’s a young woman. She’s 15. Yes, that’s very young. But it’s also Annie Leibovitz. I’m sorry, but if Annie Leibovitz told me to get in the satin sheets, I’d say, ‘Annie, whatever you say, Annie.’ I mean, she’s a tremendously talented artist.” Asked if Annie had ever photographed her, Field responded, you? “I think she has a couple of times, and basically I said, ‘Whatever you want, Annie. Whatever you want. I’ll do whatever you want’.”

Over the past few days all the talk of both the entertainment and magazine worlds has been of Miley Cyrus’ back bearing photo in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. It seems the masses have labeled the picture, which was taken by famed celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, as pornography and are railing against both the magazine for taking and running the photo and Cyrus for posing for it. One has to wonder, however, if the picture really the issue here, or if we should be talking more about why people are having such reactions to it? In my mind this isn’t an question of art or porn, but rather an issue of our perception of imagery, so today I’m asking is there something wrong with the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photo, or is there something wrong with the masses of people who when viewing it instantly think of sex?

Will Vanity Fair’s controversial photos of Miley Cyrus hurt the ‘Hannah Montana’ star’s career? Psychologist Ruth Peters and Seventeen magazine’s Joanna Saltz discussed the controversy with the ‘Today’ show co-host Meredith Vieira on Tuesday (April 29).

Photos in Vanity Fair magazine of ‘Hannah Montana’ star Miley Cyrus appearing to be topless covered with a bedsheet have shocked her viewers - and their parents - resulting in an apology from the 15-year-old star. NBC’s Rehema Ellis reported on the news for the NBC Nightly News, speaking with Advertising Age’s Bob Garfield, who said the images would be a “bonanza” which would position Miley for “the next stage where she’ll no longer be a 15-year-old ingenue.” Ellis also managed to find some parents who seemed concerned about the situation.
