Miley, I took part in a photo shoot thatwas supposed to be artistic and now,seeing the photographs and reading thestory, I feel so embarrassed. I neverintended for any of this to happen and Iapologize to my fans who I care sodeeply about.

Liebovitz, Im sorry that my portrait ofMiley has been misinterpreted,"Leibovitz said. " The photograph is asimple, classic portrait, shot with verylittle makeup, and I think it is verybeautiful.
