Miley Cyrus posed nude during a photo shoot in a bathtub that was unseen until it turned up on the Internet Wednesday. Though it's not clear if Cyrus is completely nude since she is sitting down in a tub, it is clear from the picture that she went topless for the photo shoot.

The only thing Cyrus is seen wearing in the picture is a sultry look and black bracelet. One of her breasts is exposed to the camera and her nipple is just barely being covered by her arm.

Because of the way Cyrus is positioned in the tub, the large tattoo of a dream catcher on her rib cage is shown in its entirety. Cyrus has about 13 other tattoos, some of them on her fingers. She got her most recent tattoo a few weeks ago on her forearm.

It's a quote from President Theodore Roosevelt's speech at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23rd, 1910: "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

It's being rumored that the sexy shot was taken by Cyrus' 18-year-old fiancé, Liam Hemswoth, but TooFab is reporting that the picture looks like it was an outtake from a photo shoot for her Gypsy Heart Tour last summer.  Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, on the other hand, reported that the picture was taken for Hemsworth.

Cyrus isn't shy about showing off her body. She's been known to wear revealing outfits and recently posted a Twitter picture that showed off her toned body and avidly posts pictures of herself on her Twitter page.

One of Cyrus' latest tweets was 'our love is our greatest art' and she attached a picture of two naked bodies that had been painted to appear as faces.

In 2008, Miley Cyrus took some photos for Vanity Fair, which the singer said she thought would be "artistic." However, Cyrus later said she was embarrassed by the Annie Leibovitz photo.
"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," The Associated Press reported that Cyrus said in a statement through her publicist. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

Miley Cyrus came under fire again at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. During her performance of "Party in the USA," the scantily-clad singer danced on and around a pole on top of a platform called "Miley's Ice Cream."

Blogger and television personality, Perez Hilton posted an “upskirt image” of actor-singer Miley Cyrus attracting harsh criticism from all quarters. Suggestions that Hilton violated child porn laws reverberated online because some people believed it showed the 17-year-old singer-actress's private parts. Hilton responded saying that he has no regrets and that people "are getting upset over an image they didn't see."
