Billy Ray Cyrus has a lot of words of wisdom, and doesn’t go negative when responding to yet another grilling over the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair picture scandal. Billy Ray is setting a good example for his daughter.

Billy Ray Cyrus gave a satellite interview to Billy Bush about .. who else? … his daughter Miley Cyrus. Daddy Cyrus says the paparazzi are getting more and more agressive as Miley’s popularity grows. The price tag for Miley’s picture used to be hundreds of dollars, and is now thousands. One revelation in the interview was a picture of Miley’s first kiss could fetch as much as $150,000. If that first kiss includes a little exposure of some naughty parts, or if drinking is involved, it could fetch a lot more.

We have confidence that Miley will set a record price tag for one of her pictures down the road. Make us proud Miley.

Jamie Lee Curtis (49) today criticized Vanity Fair, Disney, and Miley Cyrus’ parents for not protecting the 15 year-old tween queen. Jamie said:

"I too was a little embarrassed by my recent topless ’scandal’ and the subsequent parodies, but I am an adult woman. I protected myself during the shoot and I can take the heat. I only wish that her guardians had protected her."

Curtis, whose photos in AARP The Magazine were parodied on Saturday Night Live, says she empathizes with Miley Cyrus.

Saturday Night Live did a comical parody of Jamie Lee’s AARP photo shoot, so she says that experience allows her to empathize with Miley. Jamie Lee says she understands Miley feeling embarrassed:

"Of course she is embarrassed. She is a young girl. She shouldn’t have to deal with any of this. I don’t feel that she was duped. I know the integrity of Ms. Leibovitz and the magazine, and I know there were people present at the shoot that should have been looking out to make sure that this didn’t happen."

Jamie Lee Curtis just pointed the finger of blame squarely at Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley’s mother. Miley may be begging for more attention, but her parents need to put on the brakes when their little girl is being exploited, and they didn’t.

With Disney making accusations that Vanity Fair inappropriately tricked Miley Cyrus into taking her clothes off for a photo shoot, Vanity Fair has now taken their slide show of the photo shoot down. We have to wonder if the fact that Annie Leibovitz is a 58-year-old LESBIAN photographer had anything to do with Vanity Fair’s decision. Gawker even goes so far as to accuse Leibovitz, pictured below with Billy Ray Cyrus at the scene of the crime, of "grooming" Miley the way pedophiles groom their victims. The article gives a very interesting perspective on the whole situation, and gives some credibility to Disney’s accusations of Vanity Fair’s actions and motivation for the controversial photo shoot.

One thing is crystal clear however, both Disney and Miley’s parents were informed of everything that was going to happen at the photo shoot, including Miley appearing without clothes on, and they gave Vanity Fair their consent.

The ladies on The View, especially Whoopie, made some very good points about the photo shoot controversy.

Here are a few of the scandalous Miley Cyrus pictures from Vanity Fair where she took her clothes off. She even posed with daddy Billy Ray Cyrus. These pictures would be appropriate for an 18 year-old, but Miley IS ONLY 15 YEARS-OLD!

First there was Miley exposing her panties, then the lesbian pictures where she again showed off her panties, and which Miley claimed were "two girls at a sleepover," then Miley showed off her green bra, then got overly affectionate with her boyfriend, then released more pictures of her kissing her boyfriend Thomas Sturges, and finally got into trouble over her Vanity Fair pictures showing Miley without clothes on.
