Stop the presses! Forget about the war! Forget about the election! Forget anything that matters because photos of a seductive Miley Cyrus have been leaked on the Internet! This, THIS is super important news because at 12:30 pm it was the number one searched story on Google.

According to the AP “less-than-wholesome photos of a girl bearing a close resemblance to the 15-year-old superstar are making the rounds on the Internet. One photo shows the Cyrus look-alike tugging at her white tank top to reveal a green bra. In another shot, she flaunts her bare midriff while draped over a young male, who rests his hand on her hip. Another shot shows her cuddling up to the same guy…Cyrus, star of the TV show “Hannah Montana” and role model for countless young girls, is one of the biggest ” and most G-rated ” acts in the country.

“Less than wholesome?” Who cares? If these photos are indeed Cyrus, they weren’t taken with the intention of being displayed online. Few people in this world behave 100% G-rated behind closed doors, unfortunately the web likes to open those doors with or without the subjects permission. Why do we care so much what celebrities do? Why is everyone going nuts over a celebrity flashing the corner of her bra? Why are we putting so much weight on Miley Cyrus to be the moral leader for America’s youth? Hannah Montana is the role model, Miley Cyrus is a very young, very successful Hollywood star who I am most certain has been exposed to more scandalous things than a lacy green bra.

It was just a matter of time before the media began discussing Miley’s sexuality. It seems to happen with nearly every young starlet, they are eventually either scolded for being too sexual or taunted for not being sexual enough. In a country where women in media are often sexualized, is really any wonder that young girls try to emulate such risque images?

I’m not surprised this is the talk of the web. I’m sad it’s the talk of the web, but I’m certainly not surprised. Too many people are so desperate to avoid the misery in their own boring lives that they hyper focus on the private lives of celebrities. It’s gossip. It’s gross. It’s toxic.
