Jamie Lee Curtis empathizes with Miley Cyrus

"I too was a little embarrassed by my recent topless 'scandal' and the subsequent parodies," Curtis, 49, says, "but I am an adult woman. I protected myself during the shoot and I can take the heat. I only wish that her guardians had protected her."

"Of course she is embarrassed. She is a young girl. She shouldn't have to deal with any of this," writes Curtis. "I don't feel that she was duped. I know the integrity of Ms. Leibovitz and the magazine and I know there were people present at the shoot that should have been looking out to make sure that this didn't happen."
