Jamie Lee Curtis Says Adults Should Have Protected 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.

Thank heavens it’s Father’s Day Sunday, not Mother’s Day. Can you imagine the cards?Â
Dearest Mother,
Everything I do, I do because of you, just ask Hollywood’s wisest.Â
Thanks a lot!
XOXO
Your Out-of-Control daughter.
The i in wisest would be dotted with a heart, and the card, signed in tequila, would be delivered by a rehab or prison staffer.
Anyway, Seth Green has joined the public chorus started by Jamie Lee Curtis.
According to the Post Chronicle, Green chimed in Monday:
Speaking on MTV show Total Request Live yesterday, Green said, "These kids today with their bad parenting and their lawlessness… I had parents who beat the c**p outta me when I did bad stuff. I got punished for not going to school.
"Heaven forbid I drove my car drunk and got stopped. I would have gotten hit with the switch, and then even worse if I’d have driven a second or third time on a suspended license. Gosh, I probably would have gone to jail like normal people.
"We have different paths, all of us do. If I crashed my car into a stationary object and when the police were checking out the car they found cocaine under the seat, the chances are I’d go to prison.
"At least I woulda got beaten by my mom instead of taken to a club with her. We have different philosophies."
Snap! Right?
That’s almost as embarrassing to the mothers of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears as being cited as The Italian Job star must be to Seth Green.
2003, my friend…and even then he was upstaged by the Mini Coopers. Bummer.
