Miley Cyrus Touches on Controversial-Photo Scandal at SoCal Concert

Still reeling from the suggestive-picture controversy that has been all over the news – and even drew a response from Paramore singer Hayley WilliamsMiley Cyrus reportedly alluded to the scandal at a radio-station fest in Irvine, California, over the weekend.

While the star also known as Hannah Montana didn't talk specifically about the controversy, she thanked Wango Tango attendees for their support – similar to how she did at the Disney Channel Games concert in Orlando, Florida, the weekend before – according to People.com.

"We're all changing," Cyrus reportedly told the crowd on Saturday. "I thank you for helping me as I grow through that."

On May 3, the 15-year-old made her first public appearance at the Disney Channel Games, thanking fans for their support as she weathered the Vanity Fair controversy.

"I hope you had an awesome time," Cyrus said on the red carpet, according to People.com. "I saw a sign back there that said, 'Miley, I'm praying for you.' I could not be more appreciative. Thank you, guys, for all your support. Without you, none of this would be possible. I love every one of you, and I could not be more appreciative. God bless you."

People.com also reported that the singer previewed during her set two new songs, "Fly on the Wall" and "Breakout" – both of which are due to appear on her yet-untitled July 22 album.

Last week, Williams came out in defense of Cyrus, telling MTV.com, "We grew up around the Cyrus family, and they're amazing people, and I know they wouldn't steer their daughter wrong. Miley's got a good head on her shoulders, so I think she'll come out of all this strong. She's a great girl."

For those of you who have been living under a rock, Cyrus' controversy stemmed from recent Vanity Fair photos that showed the 15-year-old's bare shoulders and back. The singer had admitted that she was "embarrassed" about what had come to be known as "Mileygate."

"My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy," she said. "For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with [photographer] Annie [Leibovitz]. 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."

I'm not even going to read this but I'm just wondering.. Why do we waste our time? I mean, if she didn't have a famous father she'd be a nobody, right? So why do we waste time thinking/talking/caring about this?

She did it and she knew what she was doing, it was a publicity stunt and by us all talking about it, it just makes it worse.

So let's do her a favor and just stop talking about it before she turns into a Britney/Lindsay/Paris.
