Rosie O'Donnell: "Leave Miley Cyrus alone"

Rosie O'Donnell took her blog to defend Miley Cyrus Monday after the teen star's risqué photographs for Vanity Fair set-off a media firestorm.

"Leave Miley Cyrus alone," O'Donnell, 46, says in a video blog. "Disney [is] making her apologize. Ay yi yi."

While some people have deemed the photographs "inappropriate" for a 15-year-old, O'Donnell finds them "beautiful", she says, explaining that working with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz can be an "intimidating" experience.

"Listen, Annie Leibovitz – I had two photo shoots with her," O'Donnell says. "You kind of do what she says. It's intimidating. I also didn't think it was a pornographic photo in any capacity. I thought it was sort of a beautiful portrait.

And she continued: "I like the one of her and her dad, too. I don't know. It's Annie Leibovitz, people."

Rosie had a poll set-up on her website asking her readers "Do U Care About This Photo?", to which a majority of voters responded 'no.'

Miley has apologized for the photos; and Leibovitz said she was sorry for any misinterpretation.
