Oh, Rosie O!  Sometimes, Rosie O'Donnell says things we strongly disagree with.  Yet other times, many times, it's like hearing ourselves talk.  Rosie posted a "Talky Blog" yesterday in which she mentioned the whole Miley Cyrus cover photo for Vanity Fair that made news articles every which way from Sunday.  Now, yesterday we posted an article on Hilary Duff and started it out with, "We're going to skip the whole Miley Cyrus / Vanity Fair...drama today."

Why didn't we want to go there?  One, Miley Cyrus is 15 years old.  Was the photo appropriate, inappropriate for her age - however that photo turned out, we can't imagine that Miley instructed the famous photographer (Annie Leibovitz) to do anything.  Two, there have been apologies all around:  Miley Cyrus apologized, Annie Leibovitz apologized, the whole thing has just become a controversy blown out of proportion and basically millions of free advertisements for Vanity Fair.

"Leave Miley Cyrus alone," Rosie said on yesterday's blog.  "Disney making her apologize...Listen, Annie Leibovitz, I had two photo shoots with her.  You kind of do what she says.  It's intimidating.  I also didn't think it was a pornographic photo in any capacity.  I thought it was sort of a beautiful portrait...I like the one of her and her dad, too.  I don't know.  It's Annie Leibovitz, people."

In a poll on her site, Rosie asked readers "do u care about this photo?"  Out of almost 11,000 votes, 80% of people voted "No."
