This is simply a well-trodden path to career transition for Disney starlets. They do the sweet and innocent thing until they start to age out of the roles they play and then some naughty pictures get circulated so they can establish their credibility as young adult actresses and move on.

Feh.

Pee Wee Herman did it first. And did it best.

“(embarrassingly, this also includes “Hannah Montana” and the “Twitches” movies)”

I’ve reviewed both. In fact, I’m in the process of reviewed Hannah Montana – Season One right now, and I will be getting The Cheetah Girls – One World TV movie soon.

rjpb: She’s one of the Cheetah Girls (yes, my daughter has forced me to watch all three CG movies). This is simply a well-trodden path to career transition for Disney starlets. They do the sweet and innocent thing until they start to age out of the roles they play and then some naughty pictures get circulated so they can establish their credibility as young adult actresses and move on. I hope it works out for them. As much as it pains me to admit it, almost every young breakout Disney star or starlet has, in fact, been very talented.

My daughters have Disney Channel on about four hours a day – and I must sadly admit to a passing familiarity with most of the shows (embarrassingly, this also includes “Hannah Montana” and the “Twitches” movies) , but I do not recognize this apparent “starlet” – so pathetic stunt for attention would be my guess as well.

CSS: Did we see the same pictures?

Probably. But I was speaking in the general.

You said there was nothing sexual about those pictures and contrasted them to how much skin she’d shown at the CMAs. I responded to your implication that it is the amount of skin one shows that determines how sexual something is with a general comment: “The degree to which a picture is “sexual”… “

“the same bare back displayed because the rest of her is (just) covered with a rumpled sheet as she lies splayed on a bed.”

Splayed on a bed? Did we see the same pictures?

Qiab, .

Thanks. Needed that.

(Not the mental image, mind you. But the laugh.)

I don’t see what’s so unbelievable about Ms. Bailon’s story, Oliver. I mean, who doesn’t keep a few naked pictures of himself on the ol’ laptop, am I right people?

People? Come on now, you can’t expect me to believe I’m the only…um…only…

Hey! Obama! Is he great or what?

It’s not the same amount, it’s the same skin.

Fair enough. But it still depends on how that particular patch of skin is displayed. A bare back on display because a woman is wearing a backless dress at a formal function vs only the same bare back displayed because the rest of her is (just) covered with a rumpled sheet as she lies splayed on a bed. Only the exact same skin shown, but considerably more sexual content in the latter.

“The degree to which a picture is “sexual” doesn’t directly correlate to the amount of skin shown, so that isn’t the best yardstick to go by.”

Sorry Oliver, here is the link to the pic (she’s got a really nice bootay!)

There was nothing sexual about those pictures. In fact, She showed more skin at the CMAs earlier that year. (She wore a backless dress.) And since when is showing back so sexual? Perhaps my copy of the Karma Sutra is missing a few pages, but I never got that. The same goes with belly buttons. Exactly. Was anyone turned on by Miley Cyrus looking like a child vampire? There's a reason why the Supreme Court has defined pornography not as "nudity" but as "stuff that tries to arouse." Naked =/= sexy. In contrast, I thought the image used for the Rebelution's "modesty survey" was provocative. We would have a better culture if we appreciated that sexiness has more to do with quality of attitude than quantity of skin.

You know what, I think I need to see the offending pictures before I can make a judgment.

The dead giveaway is when they say that when they got the computer back the nude pictures ‘were missing’. Someone needs to tell her publicist that it’s not like stealing money from a wallet – the computer files aren’t gone when you copy them.

Since when do computer files go missing from a computer as if it were a briefcase? The thief must have been a real prude and wanted to protect the poor girl from herself if he expunged the files.

“Kind of like how Billy Ray Cyrus was shocked, SHOCKED! that the nasty photographer from Vanity Fair took such naughty pictures of Miley Cyrus.

I realize I sound flip, as sexualizing people under 18 is a pretty disgusting…”

And by the way, this Disney star is 24 years old.

Kind of like how Billy Ray Cyrus was shocked, SHOCKED! that the nasty photographer from Vanity Fair took such naughty pictures of Miley Cyrus.

I realize I sound flip, as sexualizing people under 18 is a pretty disgusting thing to do, but it’s hard not to be jaded by people doing this for publicity and then crying foul.
