2) Picture taken at that very night on Miley’s Twitter, with EXIF date proving it – http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/6893/mileyy.jpg. Shows her with the same rosy cheeks and the same hairstyle.

3) The combination diagram, which the Inquisitr, Paparrazzis, and other websites took as evidence for it being a photoshop, was in fact created by a digg.com user to prove that it is real. Her head’s position is a little different than in those two photos, something that cannot be done in photoshop.

4) The original photo had TrainReq’s watermark. Sound familiar? Same guy who leaked all the other Miley photos from her e-mail account.

I’m sick and tired of misinformation being spread around. Tabloid websites should hire people who actually do research, and not just jump to conclusions.
