UGH-HERE IS AN ETCETRA FOR YA! I have such a yucky taste in my mouth after JoyBehar - who I usually like - hassled blogger Perez Hilton - who I love and have followed for a long time - about his twitpic of an image from a photo service of poplet Miley Cyrus.

Miss Can't Be Tamed was exiting a car in a linen-like dress. Hilton tweeted it as an example of the unladylike manner in which she was getting out of the car. Now "people" are in a tizzy and crying "child porn" saying that Hilton was "suggesting" that viewers could see something when in fact, he posted it in regards to the way she was getting out, not what could or could not be seen.

Having been in trouble before for pics he posted, Hilton knows his limits. He knows when to push and when not to push. I'm behind Perez Hilton on this one, yall!

To even throw out the word 'child porn' for a pic that was taken by a photo service at a public video shoot is ridiculous. To stretch and reach for the connection of his tweet and a lewd suggestion proves that it must have been a slow news day. If critics are all over Hilton about this, then they should have labeled her choreographer for the same with that poledance at the awards show or her grinding about in booty shorts and replicating a super-bowl-esque boob grab on Britain's Got Talent.

When challenged about the public nature of the pic, handlers like to tout that Miley is 17, and still considered a child. I have real issue with this. Play the 'still a child' card til the day she turns 18. not just when ABC/Disney/ABC affliates feel like it. Where was that deck of cards for the awards show or controversial photoshoots?

As an interesting but related sidenote: Not only did ABC pull ads for The View off of Hilton's blog site in protest, but no one cried "child porn" or "suggestive nature" when Kathy Griffin later mentioned on Behar's show about making out with 16-year old Justin Bieber. Ugh - double standards. Thats another etcetera post altogether.
