Miley Cyrus, pop sensation and star of the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana, says she’s embarrassed about provocative photos taken by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair. Here’s one of the photos Miley is obviously referring to, which shows her topless with a sheet covering her chest. We certainly wouldn’t be too thrilled with our 15-year-old daughter posing for a photo like that… Better keep an eye on that one, Billy Ray!

“I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,” Cyrus said in a statement her publicist released. “I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans, who I care so deeply about.”

The 15-year-old Cyrus, daughter of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, stars as an ordinary teenager with a double life as a rock star on the Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana.” The channel says “Hannah Montana” is the top-rated cable television show for children aged 6 to 14, reaching more than 164 million viewers around the world.

Nice damage control there, Hannah!

The word “memoir” was just downgraded. We’re not quite sure what a 15-year-old has really had enough life experience to write an engaging autobiography, but we’re in our 30s and are probably not exactly the target audience. No word on if all the i’s in the book will have little hearts over them.

The multi-hyphenate teen star has signed a book deal to tell the story of her young life, it was announced Tuesday. The memoir by Cyrus, who stars in the Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana,” is planned for release next spring.

Disney said the book will focus particularly on the guidance of Cyrus’ mother, Leticia.

“I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me,” the 15-year-old singer-actress said in a statement. “I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.”
