(May 16) -- Things just aren't going in Miley Cyrus' favor lately.

After the racy leaked Internet pictures and the Annie Leibovitz photo scandal, now the teen pop queen is being accused of stealing a song, Page Six reports. Rock band Lustra claims that Miley's song "Rockstar" sounds way too close to their tune "Scotty Doesn't Know," which appeared on the 'Eurotrip' soundtrack.

Responding to the news, Lustra guitarist Nick Cloutman said the following: "Although we are very flattered that Ms. Cyrus took this route, we would have preferred some credit." He went on to say that Lustra is "considering various options to rectify this situation,"

At just 15, Cyrus has songs written for her, a fact that was relayed by her rep. "She doesn't write the songs - she sings them. We have referred this to Disney," the rep said.

Cyrus wouldn't be the first young female star facing claims of musical plagiarism recently. Avril Lavigne settled a lawsuit out of court after her hit song 'Girlfriend' was found to contain many similarities to the Rubinoos song 'I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend.'

Miles is Miley's nick-name on 'HM', used by her dad a lot.

I figured as much. It was a tongue-in-cheek joke.

The songs sounds just a little the same, I still think the songs are not the same and I don't think it's stealing. And by the way she cant be the staler cause Disney choose most the songs for the show.
