The Hannah Montana Scandal... Sort Of.


Fresh off of the Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy scandal, we've got another one - although it's not really the star's fault. It involves 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus. Those of you closer to my age might know her Dad - 'Achy Breaky Heart' star Billy Ray Cyrus.
Next to 'High School Musical', she may be the biggest star and influence on young girls right now. Little girls will do almost anything to meet her, or get tickets to her shows. And some Moms will go even further.......
It seems that one Mom told the lie of all lies to get tickets for her daughter.... She wrote that the girl's father died in Iraq.. Simply terrible. Naturally, of the 1000 entries, hers was the most gutwrenching, and she won. But, for every lie, there is usually soemone who catches the lie.
The story made the local news, and people familiar with the casualty list never heard of the man the mother said died. At the event, where the daughter got a makeover as well, the local TV crew called her on the lie, and Mom admitted she made the whole thing up.
It gives you an idea of what kind of lengths parents will go to just to keep their kids from crying. They want to be their kids buddies - not their parents. As the kid of Old School parents, i can tell you that I wouldn't even think of wasting my parents time with BS like this. If I did, i would have had my ass kicked... This kind of story insults all the families of those who did give their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I'm sure Mom is pretty embarrassed too by now...

I noticed that myself earlier. They're a little uneven and goofy. Hilary Duff got hers capped, and she never looked the same again, so she might want to leave well enough alone...

With the examples of morality set during the first administration of Hilary Clinton, ought we be astonished about the obdurate lie?

Maybe the mom needs a Georgie Stephanopolous to blithely excuse the fraud, since she really meant well and its for the children.
