Miley Cyrus - Cyrus Accused Of Stealing La Bands Song
MILEY CYRUS has been rocked by another scandal just two weeks after the furore surrounding her provocative Vanity Fair photographs - now she's accused of ripping off someone else's song.
Los Angeles band Lustra claim Cyrus' Rockstar hit is a carbon copy of their Scotty Doesn't Know tune, which appeared on the soundtrack to 2004 movie Eurotrip.
And they're inviting Cyrus fans who love her song to check out "the original" on their MySpace.com web page.
Lustra were alerted to the similarities between the songs by fans and they listened to both tracks and the bandmates claim the tunes are virtually the same - with separate lyrics.
Lustra guitarist Nick Cloutman adds, "Although we are very flattered that Ms. Cyrus took this route, we would have preferred some credit."
The band is considering various options to rectify this situation.
The spokesman states, "The immediate solution is to minimise leaks, and keep all future recordings in a vault, under extreme security."
Lustra frontman Chris Baird adds, "If Hannah Montana wants us now, who is next? The Jonas Brothers?
"That said, if (Vanity Fair photographer) Annie Liebovitz is interested in photographing us nearly nude we are certainly open to it and we look forward to her call."

Ashlee Simpson marries rocker Pete Wentz: report
Simpson's father hosted the wedding at his Encino, California home, performing a nondenominational ceremony in front of about 150 guests, the magazine said on its Web site, quoting a representative of the couple.
Simpson and Wentz announced their engagement in April and have been romantically linked since 2006. The marriage is the first for both.
Several media organizations have also reported that Simpson is pregnant, but Wentz has denied this.
Simpson, 23, released her third music album, "Bittersweet World," in April. She is the younger sister of singer and actress Jessica Simpson, who acted as maid of honor at the wedding.
Wentz, 28, co-founded Fall Out Boy in 2001. The band has since built a loyal following with albums like its popular 2005 release, "From Under the Cork Tree."

Lord of the Rings heirs sue New Line Cinema
The trustees of the writer's British charity, The Tolkien Trust, and the original publishers of 'The Lord of the Rings', HarperCollins, have cited a failure to pay a contractually agreed 7.5% of gross profit for the three films based on 'The Lord of the Rings' novels.
They are seeking in excess of $150m in compensatory damages, unspecified punitive damages and a court order giving the trust a right to terminate New Line's rights to make more films based on the author's writings, including 'The Hobbit', according to the statement.
The suit follows 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson's lawsuit against New Line for underpayment that was settled in December. When that deal was finalised, Jackson signed on to be executive producer of 'The Hobbit'.
New Line, a division of global media conglomerate Time Warner Inc, declined to comment on the new suit.
A statement from the trustees said: "New Line has not paid the plaintiffs even one penny of its contractual share of gross receipts despite the billions of dollars of gross revenue generated by these wildly successful motion pictures."
"To make matters worse, to date New Line has even prevented the plaintiffs from auditing the last two films of the series."
The trustees were paid an upfront fee of about $62,500 in an "upfront sequel fee" and nothing more, trustee spokesman Lonnie Soury said.
The three movies, 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring', 'The Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers' and 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King', took in nearly $3bn at worldwide box offices.

A Reality Take On The Millionaire
A day after Oprah's Big Give gave out -- it will not return next season --
reports emerged that Fox is planning its own philanthropic reality show, Secret
Millionaire. The format is yet another import from Britain, where it has been
a hit for two years: a millionaire agrees to live in an area of poverty for ten days,
experiencing what it's like to live on a meager income. At the end of the ten days,
he reveals who he actually is and hands over a $100,000 check drawn on his own bank
account to at least one deserving member of the community. Meanwhile ABC's Stephen
McPherson said that the network was prepared to bring Oprah's Big Give back
for a second season, but "it wasn't something Oprah wanted to do."
