ANNIE LEIBOVITZ was the photographer behind the headline-making pictures of teen queen MILEY CYRUS featured in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. Now, the famed photographer speaks out about the controversy.

"I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted," she says. "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 makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."
