Photo Credit: Splash News / FileOctober 10, 2008, (Sawf News) - Miley Cyrus is clearly growing up and not just because she is set to turn 16 on November 23. She has termed her 'Vanity Fair' photo shoot an "honestly dumb decision" and says her friends and family take priority over a boyfriend "that might not be there for ever."
It has been an eventful 15th year of life for Miley Cyrus, during which she not only rose to super stardom but also atoned for her past exuberance and immaturity (Risqué photos that she clicked with her own camera), learnt lessons from fresh new mistakes (Vanity Fair shoot in April), and saw a relationship unravel.
Speaking with the Times Saturday magazine about the Vanity Fair photo shoot by renowned celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, in which Miley posed near topless, the Disney star said:
"It was one honestly dumb decision. You know, there's a first time for everything. It was my first time working with a big photographer and blah blah blah blah. I think I just kinda got put under pressure and that's OK, 'cause I learned a lot from it. And I just know to trust my better judgment and my thought and my gut feeling. And so I just think: be a little more careful next time."
Miley whose relationship with Nick Jonas unraveled during the Best of Both Worlds tour that she and the Jonas Brothers undertook in late 2007/early 2008, was asked if her rapid rise to fame could have been responsible:
"I like to keep my priorities straight," she replied. "My priorities are my friends and my family more than a boyfriend that might not be there for ever…"
Miley's new boyfriend, country crooner Justin Gaston, 20, may have won her father's approval, but will have to still measure up to Miley's exacting and wait several years before winning a permanent place in the promise ring bound teen star's life.
