Stars who strip for a cause

 


Former 'Hanna Montana' star Miley Cyrus reveals new 'Just Breathe' tattoo on ribcage

She dates an older Australian hunk. She's modeled topless for Vanity Fair. She's pole-danced.

As if Miley Cyrus needed another reason to prove to the world she's shedding her virginal "Hannah Montana" image for good, she's gone and done it again - permanently.

The 17-year-old's skimpy, hot pink bikini couldn't take the attention away from her new "Just Breathe" tattoo scrawled in black just underneath her left breast, clearly visible in several images taken by paparazzi. 


Cyrus debuted her fresh ink on Thursday while chatting poolside with friends at a Miami, Fla. hotel, according to the Daily Mail. She was reportedly seen motioning to the tattoo while being photographed.

Cyrus' agent didn't confirm to the British publication whether the tattoo was real or temporary, but one devoted fan suggested in her blog that the tween's ink is a tribute to Vanessa, a 9-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis. It is said that Cyrus bonded with Vanessa after meeting her at a Los Angeles hospital before she passed away in 2007.

Cystic fibrosis is an unpreventable disease that causes thick mucus to build up in lungs, causing infections and making it difficult to breathe. Often times, people who are diagnosed with cystic fibrosis die at a young age because of lung complications.

The legal age for getting a tattoo in Tennessee, Cyrus' home state, is 18. But other states with the same law allow minors to get inked with parental consent.

Joanna Krupa is not afraid to show off a little skin - or stir up some controversy!  The model, who also graces the cover of Playboy's December issue, has the Catholic League barking about her latest pictorial. Krupa appears nude, sporting only angel wings and a strategically placed crucifix in a new PETA ad with the tagline, "Be an angel for animals," encouraging pet lovers to adopt.

"It's understandable that the Catholic League is wary of another sex scandal, but the sex we're talking about pertains to dogs and cats," said the sexy former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant, 30. "As a practicing Catholic, I am shocked that the Catholic League is speaking out against my PETA ads, which I am very proud of. I'm doing what the Catholic Church should be doing, working to stop senseless suffering of animals, the most defenseless of God's creation."

But this isn't Joanna's first scandalous ad that's had tongues wagging ...
