Miley
Cyrus Speaks Out About Fake Competition Entry
1/26/08
Singer Miley Cyrus was "upset" to learn a mother of a Hannah
Montana fan faked a competition to win tickets to a sold-out show by
pretending the girl's father had been killed in Iraq.
The 15-year-old pop sensation was shocked to hear that Texan Priscilla
Ceballos had submitted the fictional, contest-winning essay earlier this
month (Jan08).
Competition organizers withdrew the prizes which were awarded to
Ceballos' daughter Alexis, including a Hannah Montana make-over and an
all-expenses paid trip to a concert in Albany, New York when the untruth
came to light.
The opening line of Alexis' essay read, "My daddy died this year
in Iraq."
But Priscilla confessed, "We did the essay and that's what we did
to win. We did whatever we could do to win."
In an interview set to air on TV show Good Morning American on Monday
(28Jan08), Cyrus says, "I was really kind of upset. I mean, that's
just not a cool scenario.
"But it just shows what people will do for a ticket."
