Hef Wants Miley to Pose for Playboy

May 09, 2008 1:09 PM

Ap_hefner_cyrus_080509_mn Miley Cyrus may be keeping her back covered for now, but if she's ever ready to bare all, Hugh Hefner's got a place for her to do it.

The Playboy honcho told the TV show "Extra" that he'd be happy to feature the 15-year-old "Hannah Montana" star in his magazine -- when she's of legal age.

"She'd be welcomed in the magazine," he said. "Very pretty lady. And I think to make such a big to-do over something as innocent as those photos, I think is a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality."

By "those photos," Hef of course means the controversial spread Cyrus did for Vanity Fair's June issue, featuring a shot of her bare-backed, clutching a piece of fabric to her seemingly bare chest.

On April 27, Cyrus issued a statement saying, "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."

She hasn't spoken publicly about the photos since.

Sick Old Man!!!

Well i think that she is digusting and when you pose nude or partially nude that is the attention you will get. Hef was just speaking his mind. And besides he said when she is legal.

Posted by: Brittly | May 9, 2008 2:34:38 PM

I think her daddy would draw the line on that one!

Posted by: Kay | May 9, 2008 3:03:18 PM

After her $300 million before she is 18 why would she care about posing for Playboy. She can then enjoy messing around with loser guys, having accidents. doing drugs, acting psychotic, and getting drunk. Sorry that was Britney Spears, err Linsey Lohan, sorry I keep getting these bimbos mixed up - they all look (and eventually act) the same. But the public still keeps throwing money at them.

Hef looks more like an old child molester every day. He'd better take his tonic and go to bed.

Hef Dear, You are pathetic. You have been paying for sex all your life, with nothing better than hookers. Those three young women with you now are on your payroll. That makes them hookers in my book. Every woman you have ever been with has been on your payroll. You are not to be envied, but reviled as the pathetic sicko that you are. And Miley, consider the fact that this is the kind of negative attention you are getting for those photos. Pedophiles and skanky old men. Don't make that mistake again.

Posted by: Felicia | May 9, 2008 7:45:35 PM

I think when Miley is old enough and mature enough, she should do what she feels comfortable with and if that is a tasteful spread in Playboy then so be it. If I were as cute and pretty as she is and I was invited as a 15 yr old to come when I was of legal age then I would definitely do it. And inviting her to do a shoot does not make Hefner an old perv, he is actually a very savvy businessman.

Posted by: Donna | May 9, 2008 8:43:12 PM

You people did read that Hef said "When she is of legal age" right? Hef, may led a life you disagree with, however, never once in his long historic career has anyone accused him of being a "molster" or a child pornographer. Yet another case of people not reading the whole story. I think he makes a very good argument. The girl's back was exposed, thats all. I guess nobody sees what she wears on TV or out on the beach etc. I will agree, that maybe Hef, shouldn't have made the offer until she was legal, thats for sure. But that doesn't make him a pedophile.

Posted by: mike | May 9, 2008 9:28:43 PM


well, its obvious that the vanity shot proves that she is just a little slut. she will most likely not only pose for playboy, but also pose for most of the other major skin mags like hustler, penthouse etc. dont be surprised if she makes a porn flick or two as well. maybe they will call it Hannah does Hollywood. The trashy little whore.

Posted by: jeff m | May 9, 2008 9:47:43 PM

I can't believe some of the derogatory and judgemental comments that I'm reading. If Miley wants to do a Playboy spread as a legal adult, that's her decision. Playboy doesn't cater to pre-teens, remember? I might not like Hugh Hefner personally, but he's brilliant and saw a niche in the market and grabbed the brass ring. Miley Cyrus isn't going to hold the pre-teen market forever. She's growing up and will have to change her career direction in order to survive as an adult in a cut-throat industry. Last time I knew, posing in the nude didn't make anyone a slut. I think some of you would be more comfortable in a different country where baring more than a wrist or ankle is a punishable offence.

Posted by: Mel O. | May 9, 2008 10:03:17 PM

I am a healthy American man and I like looking at beautiful women. But this is a child we are talking about. Being famous and rich doesn't change that. I am apalled at the degeneration of morals in this country.

Posted by: Kevin | May 9, 2008 11:12:57 PM

Hell I hope she does (Mike) this horny SOB will ber happy to pull off to some of that LMAO!!!! You Go Hef!! My Hero!!

Posted by: BobMan | May 9, 2008 11:25:16 PM

Why would she want to take an income hit to be featured in a pass'e magazine? Hef is an idiot for even bringing it up.

Posted by: Mike | May 10, 2008 3:16:30 AM

Hefner treats women and teenage girls like objects. That's why I strongly OBJECT to anything he says or does. Miley, stay as far away as possible from this low-life.

Posted by: Jean | May 10, 2008 6:38:12 AM

I can't believe I'm reading the things that people are saying about this CHILD.
I think you should all be ashamed of yourselves. I think she mad a mistake, but really her parents are to blame here. I read they were on the set all day and approved of these shots. But when the bad press started to come out they backtracked and made her make those statements about what a mistake she made. Where are her parents statements? they are ultimately responsilble!!!!!!!

Posted by: Angela | May 10, 2008 8:46:07 AM

If it werent for his ability to pay for live-in personal assistants, he would be in a nursing home cruising up and down the hallways on his walker, yelling: "I wanna a martini an' see someone naked". I can only imagine what he does now at home. I would consider that elder abuse, but!... to each his own.

Posted by: notyet | May 10, 2008 9:07:59 AM

Once a woman goes down that road, she is looked on as a skank for the rest of her days, no matter whether she tries to 're-invent' herself later or not.

Hef is a lecher and he put it to work because there are zillions of lechers in the world just like he is, and he gives them what they want. They want nothing more than to corrupt a virgin and to despoil a beauty so they can leer over the pictures.

As for 'Miley', she will make a lot more money off of Disney and the artificially squeeky-clean image she has cultivated if she watches her behavior and doesn't do anything 'risque', at least until she is of age. But once she ever does do something 'haughty', she will be held in contempt by the rank and file American public, which is extremely judgmental and cruel about peoples' misbehavior. Look how the tabloids have made a killing on Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan's misdeeds. First the artificial purity (before they are of age) and then the hateful judgmentalism when they become adults. The public is fickle and mean and hypocritical.

Miley is already rich (at least her parents are), so all she has to do is keep her little empire going for a while longer, then she can do what she wants and Disney will set up a new artificial child superstar.

Posted by: unclehog1 | May 10, 2008 9:41:20 AM

I think that someone made a big mistake in allowing those pictures to be made public.Her parents used poor judgment and now Mr.Hefner is inviting her to pose for his magazine(Big Bucks there)Too bad and here I thought she was a decent role model for young girls her age. It's always about the money!

Posted by: allison | May 10, 2008 9:55:56 AM

Ok, First of all do u guys remember when u were teenagers? U made mistakes i'm sure. And hopefully u learned from them. This is just like Miley, kids do dumb things but they learn from their mistakes and kids WILL take pics of themselves and they will be put on the internet, or Facebook or whatever. But, it just so happens that Miley has the cameras all over her. PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. So she is not a skank or a slut she is just a normal teenager going through fases. And, about Hugh Hefner that is his life-style and the way he lives. So get over yourselves.

Posted by: MileyCyrusIsMyHero | May 10, 2008 10:01:51 AM

Ok, Jeff M. You r a f-ing creepo. How do u know all of those magazine names anyhow? Cuz u r prolly living in ur moms basement watching porn movies and ready dirty magazines all day. Maybe ur a Man-Whore??? How do we all know? Miley is a human being and she wasn't even taking nude pictures!! Her f-ing back was showing.

Posted by: Sophia | May 10, 2008 10:12:38 AM

I feel that if he wants to recruit Miley for Playboy for a future Bunny, fine, wait until she reaches 21. That way she can be photographed legally and no one will care.

Posted by: goplad | May 10, 2008 10:13:59 AM

I GOTTA ASK FEDERAL, STATE, AND CITY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS:

You prosecute people in Littletown, America, for downloading one single pornographic image from the internet (as it should be), yet you have allowed creators and distributors of pornographic magazines to peddle their filth all over our country, for decades.

What is the difference between one picture downloaded from the net and one from a porno magazine??????

Posted by: Jiji Moran | May 10, 2008 10:43:21 AM

Miley has to remember that her superstar status makes her a role-model for tiny little girls all over our country, and anything Miley does will be taken as "doable" by these girls.

Sometime ago Miley, and her dad, were bragging on the news about how religion had kept Miley unlike her wrecked counterparts (Lohan, Spears, Winehouse, etc...) away from bad behavior.

Boy were they joking!

When Britney Spears was 15 she was not doing a thing nearly as bad as what Miley has done, same with Lohan... not sure about Winehouse.

Anyway, Billy Ray had to approve of the pictures, or they would've sued the magazine for exposing their minor daughter to the world in what was to be regular magazine pictures.

Posted by: Jiji Moran | May 10, 2008 11:01:31 AM

This disgusting old man should have been put out to pasture LONG ago. Sadly, he has a following. After the fallout form VF, I doubt Miley's agent would let her even get an email from this cad. Go to a nursing home Hef! No wait, you would probably start a Senior Playboy there!

Posted by: Jill | May 10, 2008 11:05:12 AM

Hefner has these blonde bimbos hanging around him all the time, and they call themselves his "girlfriends."

Seems to me that "girlfriends" is an honorary title for these young ladies.

IF Hefner had no money and was on Social Security, would these ladies hang around him?

The answer to that say what kind of women these are, but we all understand power.

How else, besides hanging with a rich decrepit old man could these young ladies afford having their hair bleached, boob implants, and hory outfits?

Seems to me that the only thing that rises with the use of Viagra in Hef's household is the number of liver spots.

He's getting away with the making, distribution, and promotion of pornographic materials for decades, and everyone is okay with it.

Posted by: Jiji Moran | May 10, 2008 11:16:00 AM

Miley's parents must be more protective od Miley. No excuses. They cannot trust anyone!!!!!!!!!! Miley is a good
kid. I think the media should leave here alone.

Just what every 15-year old girl wants.... an 80 year man lusting after her in public.... and offering her a nude spread in his magazine (when she's 18) to fulfill his desire to see her completely naked - - - wouldn't it be great if you could read old Heff's mind.... ya think he is having any fantasies about her now.....hummmmmm.....

Posted by: Vet1973 | May 10, 2008 7:31:53 PM

He is one SICK Man and always has been
If she does pose nude for him when she get to be 18 I hope her Dad spanks her bottom until its so red she cannot sit for a year.

Posted by: windyblue | May 10, 2008 9:15:11 PM

Thats disgusting and would be considered child porn in many states.

This dude needs a life! naked kids, thats just sick.

Posted by: scott jeffries | May 10, 2008 10:04:01 PM

A bunch of over-reacting to a big nothing. I am SO tired of these holier-than-thou attitudes about nudity. It's not child-porn - it was a SHOULDER, people!!! I swear, Hef has a healthier attitude about sex than a lot of these puritanical hysterical nightmares that call themselves "moral". Please, leave the girl and her family alone & stop judging things you know nothing about.

Posted by: LeeAnn | May 10, 2008 11:52:37 PM

The difference, Jiji is that they arrest for child porn....pictures of underage people. The porn in magazines, legal porn, is supposed to be (yes, supposed to be) women of legal age.

Posted by: JM | May 11, 2008 1:06:43 AM

Its a matter of moral perception. In Saudi Arabia, someone would get a beating or worse for less. Whereas, Europeans have always considered Americans a bunch of prudes. The photographer was wrong for shooting Miley after the parents left and Hef is just what he has always been....a limp ' looking for the fountain of youth. I LUVE Amedica.

Posted by: Puff TMD | May 11, 2008 8:56:44 AM

Not schizophrenic, you old coot, hypocritical, double-standard, and sexist bias against men. Wake up and smell the coffee. This proves that young girls that are not even old enough to provide 'consent' and adult women can 'do whatever they want' and men will continue to be criminally punished based on slanted and gender biased perceptions. What was her mommy thinking? Looks like child exploitation to me.

Posted by: TheRockofAges | May 11, 2008 1:25:10 PM

WHEN SHE IS LEGAL has nothing to do with it.

The reality is he is talking about a 15 year in a sexual maner that constitutes paedophila.

He is a sick dirty old man.

Posted by: easy to fix | May 12, 2008 6:07:12 AM

Annie Liebowitz is a very sincere and sensitive photographer and would never take photos to create such anger from the public. For heaven sakes, Her parents were there for the photo shoot....Now you are calling Hef a molester.People you need to get out from living under the rock....you most likely bought his magazines.

Posted by: PIN | May 12, 2008 8:04:31 AM

Omg.This is not even a big deal. Apparently America is so severly anal about nudity that one simple crappy looking picture of Miley caused this huge uproar, and it's not even that bad. What's sad is Miley can't even stand up for herself, instead she has to disappear for a little bit. And obviously most of you people screaming CHILD PORN AND MOLESTER just skimmed over the article and obviously don't read or have ever looked at Playboy because it you did you would see that Playboy, unlike other nudie magazines does not show women in a gross or derogitory manner. They are merely naked and showing off the beauty of nudity. And being a straight female, I can say it's not a big freaking deal. All you prudes should just shut up and wake up to the 20th century

Posted by: Angela | May 12, 2008 8:12:33 AM

Oh and if little girls are really seeing Miley as that huge of a role model that they're going to do exactly what she does then obviously they have some lazy worthless parents that use Hollywood and TV to raise their kids.

Posted by: Angela | May 12, 2008 8:15:24 AM

Someone posted that her 'daddy' wouldn't allow posing for Hefner. I for one very much doubt that. Billy Ray Cyrus is a one-song has been wonder and he LOVES the lime light; he's living thru his daughter and ANY fame/attention she receives - I'm sure he laps it up.

I'm sure we'll be reading where this girl will be posing nude for Hefner - probably right after her 18th birthday. In fact, I look for her to pose in more racy pics BEFORE she turns 18 - that's 3 years away............
It's a shame.

Posted by: Brendy | May 12, 2008 4:32:14 PM

Duh...Angela, maybe YOU better wake up! This is the 21st Century - NOT the 20th Century.

Posted by: Brendy | May 12, 2008 4:34:43 PM

let her pose at age 15.

then put that ol' sis in jail for the rest of his days.

they will enjoy his scrawny butt.

Posted by: deroy | May 12, 2008 7:26:32 PM

Comments to Donna, who said we didnt read the whole article , first off for Hef to even have those words come through his lips is enough, he when asked should have replied no comment, the girl is 15 years old.... thats what a good man would have said.. Hef god bless him, with his recovery from that devestating stroke he had.. needs to stop taking the little blue pill.. I think he is thinking with his " head".

Posted by: Eleanor | May 13, 2008 9:00:34 AM

I'm sorry do I think the Vanity Fair photos of Miley Cyrus were right, but what I find interesting is that as far as I know NO ONE has heard for her parents regarding this, I'm beginning to feelt his was a huge mareking ploy. As far as posing in Playboy if she is an adult it is her business and I know as a women I should be up in arms about it but I can help it I like Hugh Hefner, in his WHOLE career as far as I know NO ONE has ever had a bad word to say about him or his people.

Posted by: AttitudeOfGratitude | May 13, 2008 12:03:03 PM

I have not seen all the photos but the "backless" one would have gotten anybody else in a whole lotta trouble. I think I'm artistic but I would have had my name and photo all over the local papers at least if I did something like that. I was done with consent but the image portrayed is not conveying innocence in any real sense of the word. It is I am under age and you caught me naked with a bed sheet if I remember correctly--not a towel coming out of the shower (still a visit from police and picture in local paper for me I might add) or drying off after a swim. There is a message that is not right in that one. The others are slightly F'd up but you can write those off to quirky artistic sense. You can't defend that other one in the sense of current thoughts on child porn tho.

Yeah people call me crazy but this Hef dude is crazy. Yeah playboy for Miley would bring more attention on adults and possibly teens which means the family buisness would get twice the money. Being a playboy poser and the kids roll model Hannah montana. i for one oppose to this "act" Because...well what if the kids here? What would happen? The parents are bound to know sooner or later so they will possiblly not let their young childern attend her concerts! Who knows?

Posted by: hottness-72 | May 18, 2008 10:48:04 PM

These people are talking about a child!!!! A child good enough for playboy! Well that's dandy! Rapists! Molesters! Abusers! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!! I know they said wait until she is of legal age to be shooting porn and all of that but they are deciding when she is still only a child! I swear! Sick, creepy people are every where. And there is no way of exscaping them. I hate to say it but it's true!

Posted by: sexy! | May 18, 2008 10:53:52 PM

I think Miley has a great singing career, and will be bigger when she is of age". Don't do it MILEY!!

Posted by: Laurie | May 19, 2008 6:49:15 PM

Maybe none of you have listened to what actually happened that day of the infamous photo shoot. Miley's parents were there all day and left early leaving her grandmother and publicist to finish the shoot. Miley's parents would never have approved that photo. The photographer and publicist(and maybe the EDITOR!!!!)are responsible. I am willing to bet any of you that Miley turns out 100x more responsible and levelheaded than all of the other young ladies who you keep comparing her to.

Posted by: Kelly | May 20, 2008 8:47:22 AM

Come on people, she was only showing her back for gosh sakes! What's nasty about showing the skin on your back? Yeah, I know - but she must have been naked under that sheet. Well, so what? she wasn't showing her privates or her boobs! I agree it shouldn't have been done but I blame her parents but I think to it was done to get people all riled up so she gets more publicity and then she was made to appoligize to calm people down. But, she is a typical teenager who doesn't think of the consequences of what she/he does. Quit makeing such a big deal out of that photo and it won't be so much fun to shock people. So get over it and move on to the next scandal:) Yelp, Hef is a dirty old man as most old men are:)
