Truthfully, it’s America’s double standard. Remember this picture from last year?
It caused a huge uproar. Yahoo! has raised questions about the double standard by comparing Miley’s scandalous photo shoot with Taylor Lautner’s sexy photos.
Remember the huge uproar in April 2008, when 15-year-old Miley Cyrus appeared in “Vanity Fair” wrapped in a sheet, with her right shoulder and the top of her back visible, implying that, under the sheet, she wasn’t wearing a shirt? That week, the cover of the New York Post read “Miley’s Shame,” the Christian Coalition called for the Hannah Montana star’s employer, Disney, to reprimand the teenager, and finally Miley was forced to apologize in a statement to People Magazine, saying: “I never intended for any of this to happen, and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone.” The pandemonium was so huge that critics ranging from the ladies of “The View”, to Bill O’Reilly, to Miley’s fellow Disney star Joe Jonas all expressed their disapproval over what they saw as the sexualization of a child to sell magazines.
Now, with the premiere of his movie, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” less than a month away, magazines, websites, and TV are blanketed with images of 17-year-old star Taylor Lautner, shirtless and showing off the body he trained for months to perfect for the role. And yet, none of the cultural critics who turned Miley’s photos into a full-blown “scandal” have said a word about the sexualization of Taylor, who, at 17, is just two years older than Miley was during her “scandal” and is also a minor. So, does Hollywood have a double standard?
Yeah, I think it does.
It’s not a double standard. Taylor’s a guy, he can have his shirt off in pictures. just because he’s got an 8-pack doesn’t mean they’re ‘sexy photos’. Miley’s a girl, she can’t, or at least it’s inappropriate. That’s just how it is. And o thought the picture looked terrible. Her skin was pale and she looked like she had a cool-aide mustache.

Ok no there is no double standard. If you walk around town you see BOYS and MEN with out shirts. WOMEN wear clothes. Besides those pics were for the Twilight Saga. We are supposed to see what he is going to look like for the movies. Miley wanted those pictures. She knew what would happen if she took them, more of a public appearence. She did it for attention.
