Photographer Annie Leibovitz has apologised for the semi-topless picture she took of 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus.
The world-famous photographer - who has caused massive controversy with the picture she shot for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, which shows 15-year-old Miley posing in just a blanket - insists the portrait has been "misinterpreted".
She said: "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together, and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little make-up, and I think it is very beautiful."
Meanwhile, The Christian Coalition of America (CCA) are asking The Disney Channel - who broadcast 'Hannah Montana' - to reprimand Miley for agreeing to the provocative shots.
Michele Combs, a representative for the CCA, said: "Miley should say it was a mistake and that kids have to be very careful at such a young age. Kids look up to her. Something needs to be done."
Combs added the group want Miley to make an apology during a televised press conference, adding: "Annie Leibovitz has a reputation for doing racy things. Miley should have thought this out before she agreed to go in front of Annie."
However, Jamie Lee Curtis - who recently caused controversy when she posed 'topless' on the cover of AARP magazine - has defended the singer-turned-actress, saying she should have been better protected by her guardians.
