Miley Cyrus and her friends weren't poking fun at Asians. The "Hannah Montana" star insists she and her friends were simply making goofy faces in the recent photo, which has sparked new controversy.

The actress writes on MileyWorld blog, "Ive also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces!" And Miley says "sorry" about it, "Well, I'm sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!"

"In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face," the 16-year-old girl explains. She continues, "When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'!"

"I feel like now that Britney [Britney Spears] is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me!" Miley adds. "Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what is on my heart. You guys know me and have been by my side every step of the way!"
