What's the Age of Consent In Montana, Hannah?


Miley Cyrus' Outfit -- Rated NC-17
by TMZ Staff

With her East L.A. makeup and accessories, 17-year-old Miley Cyrus wore some sort of skimpy, mesh cut-out leotard top thing with a pair of vinyl shorts-shorts to the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto on Sunday.

It's what all the underage teen pop stars are wearing these days.

From one pop star who is showing me too much (Gaga) to another who is showing just the right amount (Miley). Count me among those who think Miley Cyrus' outfit is hot and I find nothing troubling about it. So what, she's 17? That's the age of consent in my fine state. So everyone can just cool it with the fake outrage of sexualizing a 17-year-old. It's a little ridiculous for society to say its wrong to sexualize a 17-year-old but then delve in head first the day she turns 18. She's a sex symbol now. Why should I have to wait for months?

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not arguing against age-of-consent laws or child pornagraphy laws that outlaw the posting of nude photos of Ms. Cyrus. Those rules are well intentioned and they serve a good purpose but they don't apply as well in the world of the Teen Idol. Not to mention Billy Ray isn't getting his achy breaky heart busted up over Miley dressing like a streetwalker so why should you?
