VIDEO: How Far Will Miley's Stock Crash at Disney?

Miley Cyrus based her near billion dollar Hannah Montana empire on a squeaky clean image, so when the teen queen shed her clothes for the latest issue of Vanity Fair, a media firestorm ensued. The 15-year-old quickly issued an apology, stating "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."

She's red faced now, but will Disney's stock stay in the black? TheStreet.com’s James Altucher thinks the racy photos will have a positive effect on Disney (DIS) and Cyrus’s brand, broadening her audience to include Vanity Fair readers – not the typical Hannah Montana fan. But will parents steer their kids away from Cyrus, now that she doesn’t appear has wholesome?

Altucher thinks this drama is far from Jamie-Lynn Spears’ pregnancy and Entourage (TWX) actress Emmanuelle Chriqui agrees. "The media is so intense, and…if the media wasn’t that intense, I don’t think she’d be freaking out about doing these pictures," she says. "I don’t think it’s a big deal." Check out the video for more analysis from Altucher and Chirqui on what topless Cyrus photographs mean to Disney’s top money-maker.
