CYRUS DEFENDS 'STOLEN' SONG

LATEST: Teen star MILEY CYRUS has hit back at accusations she ripped off a Los Angeles band's song - because she doesn't write any of her own music.
Los Angeles band Lustra fired claims Cyrus' song Rockstar is a carbon copy of their Scotty Doesn't Know tune on Wednesday (14May08).
The band - whose track appeared on the soundtrack to 2004 movie Eurotrip - was alerted to Cyrus' song-similarities by fans, and has since determined the tunes are virtually the same, despite mismatching lyrics.
A spokesperson for Cyrus insists, "She doesn't write the songs - she sings them. We have referred this to Disney."
According to The New York Post, the band "is considering various options to rectify this situation".
