i heard that miley cyrus was fired from her hannah montana job a couple weeks ago. she is becoming one of those people that i never want to meet. maybe if we all do something about it to help her, she will change her mind and be a good, normal, funny, person. just a suggestion. :)

How far would you go for your child to see Hannah Montana in concert?
A Texas mother admits she helped her daughter win tickets in a contest by writing an essay falsely claiming the girl's father had died in a roadside bombing in Iraq.
Priscilla Ceballos apologized Friday by reading a statement on NBC's Today Show.
She said she just got caught up in trying to help her daughter "realize her dream of seeing Hannah Montana.
"Instead I brought so much negative attention to my family," she said. "Please accept my heartfelt apology and please do not punish my child for my mistake."
Ceballos also apologized to the military and military families.
"I just wanted to help my daughter write a compelling story," she said. "There is no more compelling story than the struggle and sacrifices of our military and their families."
The essay — which featured the opening line, "My daddy died this year in Iraq" — won the grand prize in a contest, sponsored by Chicago-based chain Club Libby Lu.
The prize included airfare for four to Albany, New York, and four tickets to a sold-out Hannah Montana concert there, as well as a makeover that included a blonde Hannah Montana wig.
After Ceballos admitted to store officials that the essay information was untrue, the prize was awarded to another unnamed contestant.
Hannah Montana stars Miley Cyrus was honored at Us' Hot Hollywood bash last September.

I love hannah montana those people that dont like her consider that you think again . Those bad picture that you have seenprobably took those pictures to make hannah look bad. i love her so much that i just can not beleive that she would do those things. i cant beileve that you peple dont like her i mean im not trying to say your wrong im just saying that i dont care what other people say about her i like her so much. those people that admire her i think you have mad a good desision about wheather to like her or not. I do not think she's a fake at all. Ever since i watched her movies and listened to her music i just loved her. she is so cool. i have most hannah montana stuff. I just love her.
Y would she write her child essay.I'm suprised!
I know HaNnAh'S mad at her mama.
Y would a mom do that 2 her little girl. She's so stupid.
I feel bad for her daughter. Her friends might not talk to her. That is mean, think of the little girls who dad did die in Iraq and don't have tickets.
This is a sad deal. Everyone makes mistakes, and hopefully she learned from it.
Omg. My brother is in the marines, i hate this woman
Never seen Hannah Montana on concert, I was not going to see it,Hannah Montana tickets got sky rocked thanks to stupid
brokers.But even if I had seen it, I wouldn't buy it. I'd rather wait and see it on DVD. Well suprise I changed my mind and I got 2 tix for the Hannah Montana show I was looking for tickets thanks god there sites like Ticketsinventory here is the website ticketsinventory.com
So any body will go to Hannah Montana concert ??
As the parent of a child who wanted to see Hannah Montana badly-I never in a million years would have thought of doing something so devious. I helped my 9 year old write an essay too, about how she REALLY helps pick out toys for the underprivileged through taking the names of children off the trees at church at Christmas. I never would have lied about something-i think the whole point of writing the essay as i read it was something YOU DO TO HELP ANOTHER-this dirt bag didn't say how she helped someone at all-and if it were true-it still missed the point of the essay as a whole-it was about helping others-not poor me-THERE'S unfortunately thousands of children now parentless from the war and 9/11 - which is horrible in it's self-and if that's the case then Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana should do a separate concert just for children who lost their parents due to unforseen circumstances-will that happen-no probably not-if this woman would stoop low enough to do something like that who knows what else she is capable of she sounds like the Texas Cheerleading Mom from years ago-psycho-you don't deserve to live it down-and you taught your daughter wrong-you sent her the message that it's okay to lie, cheat and who knows what else. Cat's are better mothers.
As a Soldier serving in Iraq, I am appalled that this woman wrote that essay. Too many children have actually had their father or mother die in this war, and yet she is going to "pretend" that her little girl's father died so that she can win TICKETS to a CONCERT? How ironic would it be if the little girl's father were to all of a sudden die?

Honestly, these people should be ashamed of themselves. Miley is just a person who just so happens to have a good connection into Hollywood--the only reason she's famous. I'm sure without her dad she would've had a harder time being discovered, but the point is, is that why do all these worship her so much? I get that she's a good role model, but honestly, why look up to celebrities? there are so many other role models--doctors, vets, their own parents for goodness sakes--that they could be looking up to. This is insane...
Fish 192-
Geez, who cares what words are in the dictionary? Everyone knows what a**hole means. I just think that it's silly to defend what this woman did because the rules didn't specify that the story had to be true. You have a good point though, because nowadays I suppose that it IS necessary, and I'm sure that many of the essays that were written were made up....
p.s. you would make a great lawyer.

I'm not going to stoop to your level and use asinine words that don't exist in the dictionary or thesaurus, much less not used in the contest rules "don't be an a**hole" (as you've written). Obviously your heart is very passionate and your brain have made an opinion about this subject. Personal attacks aren't necessary unless I've struck a raw nerve.
No where in the rules indicated that the story had to be true. I think this is terrible, and this child and family will never live it down.
It just happened to be false, but it was obviously good enough to win, but it was a STORY as the contest indicated to write.
I don't think this family did the right thing at all, but I really think people should leave them alone. If the rules said it had to be a true life story, then I can see where the bashing could come from. This story is probably very real for many families, just not theirs.
Totally sickening, how low some adults will sink, just to make sure their kids get what they want. If my mother had ever done something like that, to ensure I won a contest, I'd refuse the prize. Now' I'm not from the United States, but I still support the troops, as I have an American friend currently fighting in Afghanistan. What this woman did was totally wrong.
First of all this whole Hannah Montana hype is pure bull sh**! I mean c'mon maybe if her stupid tickets didn't start at $1,000 each, people would not have to write a false story to try & win some tickets for their child. I mean Miley Cirus is supposed to be performing for the kids, yet ticket prices are ridiculous, if I had children who were into that I'd have to lie my a** off to win some tickets too. If she had any decency or appreciation for her "fans" she'd give that girl & her family tickets anyway. So therefore any of you actually bashing this family, are all ignorant!
What's the Club Libby Lu's essay based on? Is it based on writing a story that is compelling and touches the readers? Did it say that it doesn't matter whether it's fiction or non-fiction? Did it say that anybody (parent or child or uncle) can write the essay? If these are some of the rules, then the mom deserves the tickets cause she didn't violate the rules.

You must be very stupid. In fact, I think that YOU are actually the idiot lady who wrote the fake essay.
this is not s nice thing to do
okay people.
first of all this is not the little girls fault. She should not have to go through this crap because of a mistake her mom made. And yeah thats right i said mistake.She is a human. Last time i checked everyone is and as annah would say "Nobody's Perfect" No i am not saying she did the right thing but people do make mistakes. Second of all to the person that was saying al the stuff about her being hispanic is justt plain RUDE. That has nothig to do with anything. Would you have said the same thing if a white person would have done this. I highly doubt it. But you know just because she is hispanic doesnt mean that shes not allowed to make mistakes becasue every HUMAN does.
As a wife of a soldier currently serving in Iraq, I was outraged to hear that this woman had the audacity to use a story such as this to get tickets to a stupid concert. How dare she cheapen the sacrifices that so many brave men and women have made for their country and their families, and even her, though she obviously doesn't understand it. Having been through the stress and anxiety of wondering whether my husband will make it through another day is something maybe she should experience. Bet she wouldn't want to make up a story like that again.
As for making a mistake, this is not a mistake, it is a irresponsible mother who can't say no to her child and will go to unbelievable and disgusting lengths.
That is a low class Hispanic for you. We are probably paying for her housing and everything else. She is probably a welfare mother with several illegitimate children. I bet she doesn't even know who their father is. She is pure trash for taking advantage of the Iraq situation just to get some stupid Hannah Montana tickets.
ruserious?
Is there an American definition of a**hole in the dictionary or thesaurus? Does that mean a huge percentage of people who have a brain never made up something malicious to hurt someone else in their life?
Okay let's all keep making excuses for the Mother and her child! That will really teach them a lesson.
There is no excuse for what was done, whether the daughter knew about it or not...how do you think the Mother explained winning the tickets?
Let's just keep saying it's okay to lie as long as you don't know it's happening??????????
That would be a good excuse in a court of law.
GUILTY AS CHARGED.
10:14, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your husband was a good man.
Everyone with a lick of sense knows that the mother was totally wrong. As far as the little girl goes, I feel bad for her that she was put in that situation, because little kids don't have their minds and morals put together yet and can be influenced, but I do think that she should be punished in terms of being shamed. It is unfortunate, but if no shame is brought to the family, the little girl will not feel bad about what she did. If she doesn't have any consequences for her behavior, she will likely continue using those methods in the future, because her mother is not likely to be a good mentor. Let her feel bad about it for a while. She will live, and she will be better off for it.
We are parents. Here to teach our children yes and no, right and wrong. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for this woman's despicable and conniving way to try to manipulate the ticket lottery by using the pain of others. To do this shows no parenting skils. just to go for what you want no matter who it hurts and if it's wrong, oh well. What is wrong with everyone? What this mother did was LOW CLASS and UGLY. Her dishonesty, lack of respect for our troops and their families during war time, and the horrible lessons she was exemplifying to her daughter put her under the category of BAD PARENT, BAD PERSON. Nothing else is true!
I have a 6 year old. She likes to tell stories. However, she knows when to do it and when not to. I know if I was pushing her to do something like that she would say no mommy that is wrong. I dont need the tickets that bad. I also have to say I would not do that.......my 10 year old daughter desperately wanted to go and I wouldnt even dream of doing something like that.
On the other hand. The mom has apologized. She is human and made a BIG mistake. She seemed to genuinely be sorry. I hope she has learned from it as well as her daughter and she does not do something like that again.
Miley Cyrus is a very talented singer and such a great role model for young girls. All the power to her. she is skipping her way to the bank.................
She should have told the truth in the first place, now her poor daughter has to suffer.
mmm...i will delete her photos from many satrs'photos on Tallmingle.com.she has no meaning on it .
