Miley Cyrus may think she has the best of both worlds, but according to Consumer Reports, she could be doing even better.
In a blog item posted on its Website Monday, the magazine called out the teen sensation and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, for failing to wear seat belts in a scene from the Hannah Montana concert movie.
The scene in question shows the Cyruses riding in a Range Rover on their way to a rehearsal for Miley's tour. Neither is buckled in.
"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," Consumer Reports writes, noting that 65 percent of 13- to 15-year-olds who died in car accidents in 2006 were not wearing their seat belts at the time.
Billy Ray Cyrus issued a response to the item Wednesday, acknowledging that he and his daughter had made an error in judgment.
"We got caught up in the moment of filming and we made a mistake and forgot to buckle our seat belts," the country singer said. "Seat-belt safety is extremely important."
Buckled up or no, Miley continues to be a smash hit.
Disney's 3-D film, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, has proven to be a major blockbuster, grossing more than $50 million over its two weeks of release.
On top of her successes on tour and on the big screen, the 15-year-old star recently racked up Kids' Choice nominations for Favorite Female Singer, which she won last year, and Favorite TV Actress for Hannah Montana.
The awards ceremony is scheduled for Mar. 29.
