Miley Cyrus had some explaining to do after posing for some very un-Disney like shots in Vanity Fair magazine earlier this year.

Miley apologized to fans for appearing in photos for the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair in which she appears to be topless.

The then 15 year-old Disney star told Entertainment Tonight she was "embarrassed" by the pix: "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."

The photos were shot by Annie Leibovitz, of course, and they show Miley with a white blanket wrapped around her torso.

As ET reported, when Bruce Handy interviewed the singer/actress in May, she thought the spread was "perfectly fine." But a Disney spokesperson said, "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."
