Vanity Fair and Annie Leibovitz are speaking out against Miley Cyrus' public apology and statement that she's "embarrassed" for posing topless in the magazine's latest issue.

Vanity Fair released a video of the photo shoot Monday to show that the session was a "relaxed family event," instead of a situation in which the 15-year-old was "manipulated," as the Disney Channel suggested. Disney broadcasts Cyrus' hit TV show, "Hannah Montana."

Leibovitz, who took the photos, told Us Weekly that she thought Cyrus' portrait was "very beautiful," adding that she and the teen star discussed the picture before it was shot.

Leibovitz also said she was sorry that the photo was "misinterpreted."

'Baby Mama' star expecting

Amy Poehler and Will Arnett have a new project to co-star on -- parenting.

The "Baby Mama" star and her actor-husband of five years are expecting their first child, People magazine reports.

The couple, who have co-starred in several films together, are expecting their lil' bundle of joy in the fall.

Winehouse's cheatin' ways

Amy Winehouse's new man might not have been the only one she cheated on her husband with.

The "Rehab" singer allegedly had a "torrid fling" with an American photographer named Blake Wood several months ago, her pals told Britian's The Sun newspaper.

The still-married singer is reportedly now dating her manager's assistant while her husband is in jail.
