As America continues to chime in on Miley Cyrus' Vanity Fair photo flap, Madonna is the latest celeb who has the tween sensation's (bare) back.

"It’s all too much. Just make it stop. Leave her alone. That’s what I think," the Material Mom said today to E! News' Ryan Seacrest.

Noting that she's mommy to 11-year-old Lourdes, the Queen of Pop purveyor added:

"I don’t know if people are thinking things through. Why are they offended?

"I mean, she’s gonna be 16 soon, then 17, and then 18. And then she might show her knees, and then what’s going happen?"

Take it from Madonna. After all, she used to be like a virgin, too.
