Will Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus manage to keep her clothes on until her 16th birthday?

Nigel - should I be worried....?!

Not at all. I got Tom to research the question :-)

Hannah Montana is a sacrifice as Britney was so that the Human race may produce a great food harvest.

The Harvest shall be good!!!!

This will be yes if she poses "in her pants" ??? What does that mean?

That is in what us Brits call pants. Americans would call them underpants. Divided by a common language indeed. I'll update the settlement rules.

Why does it say "will be settled as yes if Miley Cyrus poses nude," shouldn't that be settled as No. If she's doing nude pics, my guess is that she is out of her clothes and therefore did not manage to keep them on. Maybe that's different for our British friends, but in the US thats generally how it works. :)

this is sooo not legal.

yea its SOOOO not legal
I know for a fact that in the US of A you have to be 18 to legally have pics of u nude or topless anything under is illegal as
'child porn'

and let me just say before my dad (an average American says anything... shut up :P

Paparazzi don't really care about legal and I think there may be a different set of rules in Hollywierd we are not privy to. And I mean the American meaning of privy.

This question should NOT be settled if she is at the beach in a bathing suit (aka bikini.) Summer is coming up. That is the appropriate attire for the beach (unless she is posing for a professional photographer.)
Personally, I think she'll be fine. That Vanity Fair shoot really bothered her, especially regarding her younger fan base (who she is targeting!)

owl1 - I don't care about legal, tbh ;)
and
captainron - bikini =/= (does not equal) bra or topless...

Settlement Requested: she broke from tradition and showered this morning

I read it was a bath and she kept her scuba suit on so she's OK.

@owl1 - lol

lol @fingers

I can't pass this one -- I hope she keeps her birthday suit pressed and squeaky shiny...

Isn't she supposed to be PG-13? Or is this a maturing Barbie doll with plasic comb and hairbrush set?

This is ridiculous! ... Just shows how perverse the world is getting ... I am NOT saying this is the first ever shot like this one for VF, but come on, a 15yr old in a sheet? NOW WHAT does that suggest other then "come over grown man and play naughty with me!" ... I am shocked, but mostly cause I am shocked by this, as it should no longer shock me where this world is headed!
I have not seen a single person yet say that this is utterly wrong for a 15yr old and what precedent it sets for other minors to become even more scanty then many already are!
It's sad how sinful man is. We've always been sinful true, but my goodness, soon it'll be a 12yr old cupping herself and THAT's IT and it'll be called "artistic" and will make front pages, that is appalling and it's absurd how far it's going these days.
David Hamilton pics these certainly are not, BUT that is the direction it is headed and we all know it!

Well in Japan they call it "loli" and it's a huge market.. of course those are cartoons, and not real girls, but still.

Yeah, it's messed up lucid, but it isn't nearly as bad as some of those cartoons they draw across the pacific... And there is outrage, not patronage. I don't think we are beyond hope here.

Does this count as a answer to this question. The page came out on May 11th. Posting it here first before I requested a settlement because I am not sure if it suits the question. Site:
http://celebdirtylaundry.com/2008/05/11/this-is-getting-old-more-miley-my-space-pics-released/

I'm not entirely sure - I can't find these pictures reported on any other mainstream settlement sources, so I would be inclined to say no.

http://www.inquisitr.com/miley-cyrus-caught-again

I believe that this was prior to the question creation and therefore shouldn't be counted (but boy, there is no way I would bet yes on this question!)

nigel won't bet because lesley won't let him!

How long does it take for them to verify that the question is settled? Its been suspended since Monday morning and it is now Thursday morning. That is ridiculous!

Lonewolf - Tisha is on holiday and I think this question just fell through the cracks. Thanks for bringing it up again.

I looked around and it looks like the pictures aren't actually new.. they were sent to her then boyfriend Nick Jonas, but they broke up several months ago. Please post if you have other info, I'm not a Miley expert!

I've asked for the market to be reopened.

It doesn't matter if the pictures are supposedly old. The two sites that were sent for settlement show the day as being late may. That is when the pictures were discovered and put out to the news. This is one of the reasons this site won't make it, the questions are made by users and too vague for answers. The pictures are dated late may and they show her in her panties...enough said. The question should be settled!!!

Hi everyone,

I'm covering Tisha as he's on holiday so hopefully I can sort all this out. I mean naked teenagers and abused congressional pages are pretty much the same thing right?

Anyway. The photos that were released were old and from when Miley and Jonas were dating. So therefore the market doesn't settle yet. But knowing Miley I'm guessing we'll get a sex video by the end of June (This is so wrong, this damn category is going to corrupt my good soul). I've clarified the market stating that the photos released must be new.

@Ryan - if Tisha is really a 'he' then dieseldog will be very disappointed! :)

Heh... Hubdub crushes who would've guessed.... Think I misspoke here. Tisha is a she so no reason for dieseldog to get disappointed.

PS Tish apologies!!

is nigel going to invite us all over to see the sex video when lesley is not around ?

Its awfully convenient to be able to change the question. This is really sad. I have talked to several people who no longer use this site because of questions like this. The photos were released AFTER the question was asked so the question should be settled. To be able to put extra words in the question to make it suit other people is very unfair. I guess if more pictures come out then the question will be changed to fit those as well.

@lonewolf:
the question asks if she will bare her nude body AGAIN before her 16th birthday, not if new pictures previously taken will be released

@justin - I'm really sorry you were frustrated. Sometimes its hard to think of all possible caveats in creating a market.. in this case, the question was trying to get at if Miley would learn her lesson after all the hubbub about the pictures. So the leak of pictures taken BEFORE the Vanity Fair shoot and the subsequent publicity doesn't really get to that.

That's my 'common sense' argument... for an argument on technicalities: the settlement details ask if she will POSE in any new pictures. All markets are active only from when they are created, therefore any pictures settling this market would have to have been taken after Apr 29th at 12:55 AM PST.

I'm sure everyone here has at LEAST one market whose settlement has driven them batty. But I always remind myself that (nearly) everyone has the best of intentions, the admins do their best to be fair and for every frustrating market there are many others that are unambigious and fun. I hope you won't let this question sour your hubdub experience, cause I have to tell you, it can sure be pretty fun.

(i'm such a slow typer.. tocm's response wasn't even there when i started... sigh...)

@jenni: slow, but much more eloquent, except you misspelled HubDub in the first paragraph! (wink,wink)

God knows i've lost thousands on technicalities, it teaches us to scrutinize new questions in the future, whether creating or wagering... besides, with stock market questions, money might as well grow on trees around here!!!!

@jenni:
on a professional note, all the new "stuff" like digg and abc links and the graphics, really slow down the loading of pages since the new format was adopted... my internet connection is quite fast, but drags noticeably with all the new stuff.....maybe you, as a superhero, can speak to the hubdub gods and ask them if we can "opt out" of the new features on a per-feature basis, like the google and yahoo personal pages.... some of the new stuff is great, but do i really need to see digg and abc links EVERY TIME the pages load? and the tool for recent bets in the upper lefthand corner is redundant, as even more recent bets are logged in the predictions tab....and can't we get the "my open questions" sorting page defaulted, instead of the old one, i think we all like the sorter better than the old one... Thanks Superjenni! Wondertwin powers ACTIVATE; form of: a suggestion!!!

@jenni...2nding TOCM's comments re the new sorter, much improved. V&H

it's DEFINITELY the DIGG.COM stuff and the REDDIT.com stuff, it freezes up for like 10 seconds... take that garbage off the pages,,,, to what do we owe those people... i hate digg, i prefer stumbleupon... and i don't even want to know what reddit is.... it is SSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, so their code sux! get rid of it, let me hubdub with speed and agility.....

@tocm - I haven't noticed the slowdowns and freezing you mention... are you experiencing it on this site only? How about other sites with reddit and dig?

Even though I don't use any of those sites, I liked that Hubdub was adding tools and functionality, so I'm hoping there's a fix for you without removing them.

is anyone else experiencing the freezing tocm mentioned?

i haven't noticed it on any other site, but i get it EVERY TIME, and it's always digg, and half the time its digg and reddit!

I've definitely noticed the digg/reddit problem lately and I have a very fast 8mb connection. It's very frustrating, sometimes 10-15 seconds until you can do anything with the page. I'd get rid of it until it's fixed.

thanks, mick, didn't want to think my 2 gigs of ram was slow...

ok, so i clicked on the phishing thing at the bottom, disabled the digg and reddit sites.... IT IS EVEN SLOWER!!!! get this crap off the page, please!!!!

Um.. you guys may have slightly overestimated my superpowers. They're not quite that super... Feel free to send your comments in to the gods yourself! The contact link at the bottom is a good method or you can open a thread at getsatisfaction.

Wonderpowers: go to bed...
(See, really quite boring, sorry.)

and to think: all this time , i've been PRAYING to ryan, when i could have just emailed him!!!!

@theonecalledmichael..i get the dig reddit deal also. it's usually like 5 second lag-delay and can be a pain in the butt.

@all HD'S..let me asure you tish is 100% woman. since are romance has been made public i'm sure she won't mind me telling you all...ouch! she just slapped me. guess i can't tell you the details.

@dieseldog - haha... I won't believe it until I read it in a Major Mainstream News Source... I would be seriously jealous

I can't imagine that this is such a huge topic in the Staates ^^

The current election campaign may be responsible for reducing proper coverage.

...proper coverage does seem to be at the heart of the matter, yes...

Again the question doesn't state new it just asks if she will be able to keep her clothes on until her 16th birthday. Two of us have tried to settle this question with websites showing new photos (new to the public) after the question was posted. So in the parameters of the question it should be settled. I understand what yall are saying, but the question didn't state that anywhere that they photos had to be new.
"This question will be settled as no if Miley Cyrus poses nude, semi-nude, topless (similar to Vanity Fair photos), displaying her bra or in her pants (clarification: that is underpants) before her 16th birthday on November 23rd."
I am not generally a complainer; you can look at my previous comments on other questions. But this question again should be settled.
So from I am hearing from yall, when photos come out we have to verify when the photos were actually taken so that we know if they was taken after the question was made. I will be searching for any new news of Miley posing in photos and trying to settle this question. I guess yalls job will be to re-write the question to fit the "yes" answers and search the actual date of photos being taken.

implicit in this question is the FACT that the questioner is asking about a new event of Miley removing clothing or a portion thereof and taking a picture AFTER question creation date, even if it happened 1 second after the creation of the question... if her dad shows a picture to the press tomorrow (one previously unseen by the public) of miley as a 4 year old without a shirt on, would you then argue that this question should be settled?

The question asks if she will be able to keep her clothes on between the time this question was posed and her 16th birthday.
My opinion is that this question cannot be settled as yes if photos released are taken outside of this time frame.

Note, the recent spat of photos are still old... as far as I can tell, there have not been any recently taken photos leaked. http://livenews.com.au/Articles/2008/07/14/Miley_Cyrus_in_third_wave_of_risky_pics

You know, I'm really starting to feel sorry for this girl. People hacking into her phone, email accounts... She's still only 15. That's pretty young to be hounded by this level of paparazzi and media attention.

I bet on this a long time ago (in Miley's favor btw), but I have no idea when her b-day is...anyone know?

November 23rd is her birthday.

@jenniandboys: Thanx

Strangely, she appears to be having her Sweet Sixteen party almost 2 months early... This market settles on her actual birthday though (Nov 23) not her party! (Hmm. wonders if she will get out of hand while celebrating ...?)

How hard can keeping your clothes on when there are cameras around be? OK, for some it's impossible :-)
