Cyrus Criticised For Setting Bad Example To Kids

Singer/actress Miley Cyrus has been slammed by a consumer watchdog or failing to wear a seatbelt in a scene in her new film Hannah Montana/miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert Tour.

The scene in question features the 15-year-old pop sensation and her country singer dad Billy Ray Cyrus in the back of a Range Rover - with neither of them wearing their seatbelts.

And the pair have been heavily criticised by Consumer Reports for setting a bad example to Miley's young fans as a result of their lack of car safety.

In a post on the watchdog's online blog, the group says: "It seems to us that Miley, her father, and Disney had a perfect opportunity to help influence teens and counteract-rather than encourage-this trend."

"Then again, as Hannah (Miley) herself sings, 'Everybody makes mistakes.'"
