Miley Cyrus is apologizing once again to fans for provocative photos that were taken of her. But this time it’s not Myspace or personal pics, (check out The Post Chronicle for more on her NSFW pics) it’s a picture (above) from a photoshoot with Vanity Fair.

The 15-year-old Disney star is semi-topless in the new issue of Vanity Fair, which hits newsstands this week and she is apologizing to fans ahead of the release of the mag.

“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. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”

Vanity Fair editors were quick to respond, telling Entertainment Tonight Sunday.

“Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day.”

“Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley.

“In fact, when [Vanity Fair writer] Bruce Handy interviewed Miley, he asked her about the photo and she was very cheerful about it and thought it was perfectly fine.”

A Disney Channel spokesperson told ET:

“Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines.”
