Miley Cyrus defends her stolen song

Miley Cyrus

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.

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”.

Sex & the City’s security scare in London

Sex & The City cast

The cast of Sex and the City: The Movie were rocked by a security scare while they were visiting London to promote the new film - when a man sneaked into Kim Cattrall’s hotel suite.

Cattrall was conducting a press junket at the city’s prestigious Claridge’s Hotel along with castmates Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis when a crazed fan, posing as a foreign journalist, reportedly sneaked past security.

The man managed to get through several security checks to access the floor where all four actresses were staying. He then found his way into Cattrall’s room, where he is said to have cornered her alone - frightening the actress with his “erratic behavior”.

A source tells London newspaper Metro, “He was alone in a room with Kim Cattrall and began pestering her for autographs. She was very flustered, and it was lucky someone walked in and spotted him as his behaviour was getting more and more erratic.

“Hotel staff ordered him to leave but he didn’t go quietly. They bundled him out as quietly as possible but Kim was pretty frightened. The other girls found out what had happened and were also freaked out. But they’re old pros and they didn’t let it affect their schedules.”

Colin Farrell calls his weight loss very healthy

Colin Farrell

Why is Colin Farrell looking so thin? At a recent press conference in Spain, the usually fit actor stunned reporters with his appearance – not to mention what he said.

“I lost weight because my role demanded it,” Farrell told reporters simply of his upcoming film, Triage. “It was all very healthy.”

The actor also referred to the Scott Anderson novel on which Triage is based, reading the sentences that inspired his dramatic weight loss: “He went to the bathroom to shave. Once his beard was gone he saw that his face had become drawn. He pressed at the hollows beneath his eyes, the pronounced nubs of his cheekbones.”

“Amen,” director Danis Tanovic followed, breaking the tension. Everyone – including Farrell – laughed.

Farrell spent five weeks in Alicante, Spain, filming Triage, in which he plays a war reporter in Bosnia in the early 1990s.

The actor also spoke of his great respect for war reporters “spending time in war zones to tell stories that capture the imagination – as well as for their wives and girlfriends.”

America Ferrera is nervous about moving to New York

America Ferrera

America Ferrera is worried about moving her hit show from Los Angeles to the east coast - because she fears filming will upset New Yorkers.

The city’s mayor Michael Bloomberg welcomed the series’ relocation after producers announced the show would be moving east last week to make the most of new tax incentives on offer in New York.

According to city officials, the move will create more than 200 jobs in the Big Apple.

But Ferrera isn’t convinced New Yorkers are so eager so see the show leave its L.A. roots.

She says, “I’m excited. I’m a little nervous too. New Yorkers are really cool. I’m just a little nervous about how they’re going to accept the show. We’ll be on the street blocking the way.”

Crewmembers on the L.A. set protested the decision last week, when its 300-strong staff banded together to take out an ad in trade paper Variety to highlight the resulting job losses prompted by the move.

Jaime Pressly: No more babies for now!

Jaime Pressly

Mother’s Day was doubly special for Jaime Pressly as the annual holiday fell on her son Dezi’s first birthday, but don’t think the events gave her any ideas of adding to the family yet.

“Not right this second,” the actress tells OK! at the V Lounge Breast Cancer Fund event. “I want to give Dezi as much attention as possible and solidify our relationship.”

The Emmy winner, who maintains her svelte post-baby body with push-ups and crunches, believes it’s important for her and her husband, DJ Eric Cubiche, to make their son feel “special” at this stage before introducing a little brother or sister.

“I want him to know… that we love him,” she says. “It’s really when we’re old enough and we can handle it!”

And how has motherhood changed the 30-year-old?

“Things matter to me more now, whether it’s finding a cure for breast cancer or saving the planet,” Jaime says.
