Why Miley Cyrus Needs a Seatbelt Belt

This the mug shot taken after Miley Ray and Billy Ray Cyrus were hauled in for failing to use their seatbelts. OK, not really, but it’s a nice photo, isn’t it?

Miley Cyrus and her papa, Billy Ray Cyrus are in big trouble. According to the Consumer Reports’ safety blog, Miley and Billy Ray are seen riding without seat belts on the back of a Range Rover on their way to rehearsal for the concert tour movie. You know the one with the really, really long name that features both Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus and the Jonas brothers. Yeah, that one. (read blog).

In case, like me, you didn’t know what a Range Rover looked like, here’s a picture. I don’t know if the one in the movie was orange, but it should have been. Then no one would have noticed the lack of seat beltage because they would be so awed by the sweet-looking ride.

Is this whole thing blown out-of-proportion? Probably. But what the Cyruses did probably isn’t illegal–most states do not require those riding in the back seat to buckle up. Yet more people are killed by their own failure to buckle up as opposed to drunk drivers. Let’s all try to arrive alive, whether heading to rehearsal for our world tour or to the grocery store for prune juice.

Although, you’d think someone who would pay that much attention to detail (like noticing the Cyruses’ weren’t wearing their seatbelts) would know that Miley Cyrus is now Miley Ray Cyrus. Sheesh.

On a lighter night, I used to have a friend who has a seatbelt belt. And, they’re still all the rage. You can get one for only 24 clams (or dollars, if you prefer) at hotopolis.com. Check out this pic. Now you just gotta get your abs in shape so you can work it. At least if Miley started wearing one of these all the time, no one could say she’s not wearing her seatbelt (belt).
