Miley to Skip Red Carpet "Return"

Miley Cyrus

Maybe Miley Cyrus has had enough of flashbulbs for awhile.

The Disney Channel phenom will not be attending a network media party in Orlando Friday, what was to have been her first public appearance since the incredibly controversial results of her recent photo shoot for Vanity Fair.

Cyrus' name had been on the guest list for weeks, long before Annie Leibovitz's eye for art threw the blogosphere into a tizzy and started a massive debate over whether the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star was still a proper role model for her fellow youngsters.

Disney, which is hosting the party for the stars and execs in town to film the Disney Channel Games, a celeb-studded charity competition, had no further comment on that particular scheduling change.

According to a network rep, however, Cyrus is still "100 percent performing on Saturday night" at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. The concert will be televised this summer as part of the special-event series.

So, obviously the teen queen hasn't entirely shucked the spotlight. She was also photographed at Disney World earlier today.

Then again, maybe she just really wanted to feel like a kid again.

Continuing to land herself in controversial situations, Disney tween queen Miley Cyrus is upset and apologetic over a racy photo shoot taken by famous photographer Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair magazine.

The 15-year-old Hannah Montana star told press that she’s amazed the topless shots of her draped in a blanket made it into the magazine.

“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,” Miley said in a statement released by her reps on Sunday.

“I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”

On what was a beautiful Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles, Miley Cyrus was out with a gal pal grabbing a smoothie at the local Robek’s.

After getting her order, Miley appeared to be a bit smitten with the juice boy - as the two shared a laugh while he helped to block the cameras, chatting up the young Disney star while doing so.

In related news, Miley’s pops, Billy Ray Cyrus, is denying rumors that he removed Lindsay Lohan’s phone number from his daughter’s cell phone.

The 46-year-old Hannah Montana co-star stressed that he wants his children to think of him as a “best friend.”

“I wanna be the person [Miley] wants to talk to,” he told Seacrest, adding that Miley has a lot of friends, and “I just want to be one of those friends.”
