U.S. singer-actress Miley Cyrus says she is "embarrassed"
by her appearance in a photo spread in the upcoming issue
of Vanity Fair, ABC News reported Sunday.
The 15-year-old entertainer -- who stars in the Disney
Channel's "Hannah Montana" and has appeared in sold-out
concerts to promote her records -- was shot by iconic
celebrity photographer Annie Liebovitz for the Vanity Fair
spread.
She issued a statement Sunday apologizing to fans for the
photos, one of which shows her bare back as she covers her
front with what appears to be a sheet.
"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," Cyrus said. "I never
intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my
fans who I care so deeply about."
The Disney Channel also criticized Vanity Fair for the
photo spread.
"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was
created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order
to sell magazines," the Disney Channel said in a statement.
Cyrus previously apologized for racy photos that appeared
online showing her pulling down her top to expose a lacy
bra. "The pictures of me on the Internet were silly,
inappropriate shots," she said in a statement to People
magazine.

Man sees Jesus on hospital ceiling
As Pope Benedict XVI spent time in New York, a local hospital
was getting attention for a water mark on a ceiling that
some think looks like Jesus. Junior Rodriguez, 31, a cab
driver receiving care for anemia, said he noticed the
quarter-sized face of Jesus when he looked up from his bed
one day in St. John's Queens Hospital, the New York Post
reported. "I was freaking out. There was Jesus looking down
on me. This room is blessed," Rodriguez said of his April 10
discovery. Hospital employees reportedly dubbed Room 232
the "Jesus room." Hundreds of patients and workers piled
into the room to catch a glimpse of the brown mark.
"Everyone was screaming and running around. Everyone was
coming in to see it," said Pedro Agreda, 47, who was
sharing the room with Rodriguez.

Old-fashioned baby names back in style
Old-fashioned names such as Abigail and Sadie have become
popular once again for U.S. babies, author Laura Wattenberg
says. Wattenberg, author of "The Baby Name Wizard: A
Magical Guide to Finding the Perfect Name for Your Baby,"
said people are more open to choosing these types of names
because they are old enough to have fresh new meaning, The
Washington Times reported. "Old names -- like Emma -- are
definitely coming back. It's made the perfect 'U' (graph).
There is typically a 90-year or so period before we're
willing to revive names again," Wattenberg said. The old
names have also become popular because they remind parents
of a seemingly simpler time, said Nancy Schlossberg, a
retired counseling psychology professor at the University
of Maryland. "We idealize previous generations especially
at a nervous time like this. Picking an old name is a way
to connect to what we think was a more stable time,"
Schlossberg told the newspaper.

Exxxotica event includes religious lesson
This year's Exxxotica adult-entertainment event in Miami
Beach, Fla., was a perfect site to fight against online
pornography, a former youth pastor said. Craig Gross, a
youth minister from Southern California, said he and several
volunteers used this weekend's event to spread information
about the growth of pornography on the Internet, The Miami
Herald reported. "It's a little light in a dark room," the
32-year-old said. "I feel like we're planting a lot of
seeds." Gross, who has earned the nickname the Porn Pastor
in certain circles, has been spearheading the fight against
online pornography across the United States. In addition
to appearances at events such as the Exxxotica convention,
Gross engages in scheduled debates with noted porn star Ron
Jeremy at U.S. colleges. The former pastor said he decided
to fight the increased mainstream growth of pornography
after he recognized how little traditional religion was
doing to stem such growth. '"They've never gotten on the
field,'' Gross told the Herald about his fellow religious
leaders. "Shouldn't we go where the problem's at?''

What are your thoughts on Bush's commitment to Palestine?
"he's an idiot-no matter what the situation is."
"Dubya Bush's remarks to Palistanian leader is the same
"BS" he's used for 7years in a failed leadership of
domestic and foreign policy. He basically is trying to
find something / anything that can be positive for the
worst Presidential legacy in American History."
EM, MI
"It is great that we are supporting Palestine."
