Stars from Nick Cannon to Hilary Duff to the ever outspoken Rosie O'Donnell have been weighing in on the Miley Cyrus near-nude photo scandal. In case you're living in a pop culture-proof bubble, Ms. Cyrus has come under fire for taking "artsy" pics that many feel are way inappropriate for a 15-year old girl. Not everyone is judging her harshly, though. In fact, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, and Lauren Conrad all voiced some sympathy and support for the teenage superstar.
According to MTV News, Montag commented that Cyrus is "a young girl in Hollywood, and she's just having fun — [she]'s exploring herself." Spencer backed his other half, saying he didn't think the photos were bad, maybe even "artistic." Conrad, for her part, agrees: "I found it a bit silly," she said. "I thought she looked beautiful in the pictures. I didn't find it that inappropriate."
I actually happen to agree with the trio on this one. Even if it is an example of Hollywood standards being way out of whack, it's not like this is anything new. Hey, maybe it'll end up working in her favor. If there's anything the Hills posse has proven, it's that any publicity is good publicity for rising stars in Tinseltown.
