Jamie Lee Curtis has posted an article on the Huffington Post regarding the Miley Cyrus photo shot by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair. For part of it she plays the part of an apoligist for Leibovitz and Vanity Fair. That’s a shame because both the star photographer and the magazine are culpable for this exploitive photo — Leibovitz for taking it and Vanity Fair for publishing it. But in the end, she concludes quite accurately that entertainment is a business and will “eat” it’s entertainers for a profit. She writes:
When these young people get all dressed up for award show red-carpet events don’t we all comment how beautiful, stunning and grown-up they look in their strapless/backless dresses and heels and tousled hair? None of this is new. None of this should be news. But it is news because it is a business. It is all Business. It is called Show Business. Show Abyss-ness! I call it Show-OFF Business. You throw a child into the jaws of a business and they will get eaten.
I know how Miley feels. 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.
“I only wish that her guardians had protected her.” I agree Jamie!
