Kristen Fyfe The Culture and Media Institute, a conservative advocacy organization It’s almost eerie.  In checking around to see what the media buzz is on the Miley Cyrus/Vanity Fair bare-backed photo controversy, I ran across this piece from Time, which was posted yesterday.  Seems Cyrus made Time’s Time 100 list of influential people.  The write-up on Cyrus is by former teen idol Donny Osmond, who wrote: “Show business is about idolization. As an idol to tweens the world over, singer-actress Miley Cyrus, 15, is riding a huge tidal wave at the pinnacle of her career; this is as it should be. I hope she enjoys it. I guarantee there will be many bumps in the road ahead. One of them, especially for somebody who acts and sings on her own TV show, is that your image becomes cryogenically frozen into a specific stereotype. Within three to five years, Miley will have to face adulthood. Fans grow up, and their youthful interests quickly dissolve. Her challenge will be overcoming the Hannah Montana stereotype.  Miley’s fans are not thinking about the fact that she will grow up too. As she does, she’ll want to change her image, and that change will be met with adversity.” Likelihood that Osmond wrote that within the last 48 hours?  Zero.  But the man deserves kudos for being prescient. The media have been near manic about this. In a piece I wrote for the Culture and Media Institute (click here), depending on which outlet you turn to for news, this Vanity Fair photo controversy is either a marketing bonanza or a death knell for Cyrus and her wholesome Disney franchise.  The coverage has been reminiscent of the Britney/Lindsay/Paris media feeding frenzy that regularly occurs when one of those pop tarts misbehaves.  Cyrus is definitely in damage control and has publicly stated she wants to make up for this mistake.  It remains to be seen whether the media will give that side of the story as much coverage as they’ve given this “scandal.” Editor’s notes: Time Magazine confirms Donny Osmand wrote his essay about Miley Cyrus weeks ago, before the Vanity Fair photo was released. The Culture and Media Institute says its mission “is to preserve and help restore America’s culture, character, traditional values, and morals against the assault of the liberal media elite, and to promote fair portrayal of social conservatives and religious believers in the media.” Less
