Cyrus Photo: New, The Idea: Old

More than 27,000 people have viewed our story on Miley Cyrus' controversial photo shoot for Vanity Fair magazine.

News 5 did a little digging and discovered this is not the first time celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, who was behind Cyrus' photo shoot, has draped a singing star in a bed sheet for Vanity Fair.

The first time, however, it was a 45-year-old diva and not a 15-year-old tween queen. Take a look at this cover of an issue of Vanity Fair from 1989, more than three years before Cyrus was born.

Yep, that's Diana Ross, who was a member of The Supremes before launching a solo career in 1970.

There was no controversy surrounding Ross' photo shoot. But when images from Cyrus' layout starting making rounds on the internet, Cyrus issued this statement -- "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 never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

Leibovitz responded by saying she's sorry people have "misinterpreted" the photo. She called it "a simple, classic portrait" that "is very beautiful."

The Disney Channel, which airs Cyrus' TV show "Hannah Montana," has been very critical of Vanity Fair. The network says the article suggests that "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

Ironically, Lebovitz took the pictures for Disney's "Year of a Million Dreams" campaign.
