Miley
Cyrus Apologizes for Not Wearing Seatbelt
2/14/08
Singer/actress Miley Cyrus and her father Billy Ray Cyrus have apologized
for failing to wear seatbelts in a scene in new concert movie Hannah
Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour.
U.S. watchdog Consumer Reports publicly criticized the pair earlier
this week (begs11Feb08) for setting a bad example to Miley's young fans.
The scene in question features the 15-year-old pop sensation and her
dad in the back of a Range Rover - with neither of them wearing required
safety restraints.
Billy Ray tells People, "We got caught up in the moment of
filming, and we made a mistake and forgot to buckle our seatbelts.
Seatbelt safety is extremely important."
