Ever since Miley Cyrus posed semi-nude in Vanity Fair magazine photo shoot, the media has been trying to drum up the controversy as much as possible for some innocuous pictures. Hugh Hefner is supportive of Cyrus and thinks America is making a big fuss over nothing.

Hefner, 82, wants to give the 15-year-old Miley Cyrus a break. He is offering her an opportunity to pose naked in Playboy when she turns 18.

He said she would be a hit with readers of Playboy and she is welcome anytime to pose for the magazine.

He defended Cyrus for her Vanity Fair shoot and told Extra, a TV entertainment show:

I think to make such a big to-do over something as innocent as those photos. I think is a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality.

I doubt Miley will accept his offer after this controversy. Her movies and TV shows are a big hit with kids and some estimate it is a billion dollar franchise. So she doesn’t have to do this with Playboy for money.
