Disney Star Miley Cyrus Caught In Another Photo Controversy

She may be only 16, but Miley Cyrus is proving quite the veteran when it comes to posing for controversial photos.In a new picture posted on micro-blogging site Twitter, the teen star smoulders and pouts in a tight vest and shorts as she straddles a chair in a dressing room.The suggestive photo was taken by film-maker Adam Shankman, who is producing the Hannah Montana star's new film The Last Song.

In another image, Miley pulls a sexy face as she sidles up to 44-year-old Adam, who is openly gay.Hairspray director Adam posed the pictures, which were taken on location in Georgia, on his Twitter site.Defending the images, Adam said: 'Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room.'Seriously. Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics. She's like my angel little sister.'

These new shots are just the latest in a string of controversial photos featuring the young star.In previous pictures posted on her MySpace social networking site, Miley has been seen in her underwear and offended Asian fans when she appeared to pull a 'slant-eye' pose.Last year, Miley apologised and admitted she was 'embarrassed' over her topless pose for acclaimed photographer Annie Liebovitz in Vanity Fair magazine.
