Miley Cyrus responded to allegations that she copied Bruno Mars’ 2012 track “When I Was Your Man” when creating her 2023 hit “Flowers.” According to court documents obtained by People Wednesday, lawyers for the pop star denied the copyright infringement claims brought forth by Tempo Music Investments in September. Cyrus’ team argued that Tempo Music Investments only own a portion of Mars’ ballad through the song’s co-writer Philip Lawrence because they hold his catalog. The song’s other co-writers Ari Levine and Andrew Wyatt, however, aren’t affiliated with the group and the Disney alum’s attorney argued that “only owners of exclusive rights may sue for copyright infringement.” The “See You Again” singer’s lawyer added, “an assignee of only one co-author lacks exclusive rights and, therefore, also lacks standing to sue for infringement.” Cyrus’ legal team requested the lawsuit be dismissed. In September, a lawsuit obtained by TMZ alleged that the “Hannah Montana” alum’s Grammy-winning hit and Mars’ songs shared “many musical similarities,” including the harmony, chorus, melody and chord progressions. Tempo Music Investments argued that Cyrus, 32, “intentionally” took inspiration from the “Talking to Moon” crooner’s track. Mars, 39, wasn’t listed as a plaintiff in the lawsuit. “Flowers” won Cryus record of the year and best pop solo performance at the 2024 Grammys in February. “This award is amazing, but I really hope that it doesn’t change anything, because my life was beautiful yesterday,” she told the audience during her acceptance speech. “Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular, so please don’t think that this is important.” Cyrus allegedly wrote the song about her failed marriage with ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, whom she was wed from 2018 to 2020 . “We were good / We were gold / Kind of dream that can’t be sold / We were right / ‘Til we weren’t / Built a home and watched it burn,” she sings, alluding to her and the “Hunger Games” star’s multimillion-dollar Malibu estate, which was destroyed in a 2018 fire. The “Wrecking Ball” singer released the song on Jan. 12, 2023, hours before Hemsworth’s 33rd birthday.

BEMIDJI – Playing its first game in nine days, the Bemidji High School girls basketball team found itself trailing 47-33 with under 10 minutes left in regulation against Elk River. Then the Lumberjacks went on a run. Clara Bieber got a tough layup to fall to engage the home crowd at the BHS gymnasium. Bieber’s finish was part of a 15-7 stretch – capped by Margie Anderson’s free throw – that pulled the Jacks within five. It was the kind of response head coach Darin Schultz was eager to witness against one of Section 8-4A’s toughest teams. “I thought the girls did an exceptional job,” Schultz said. “We’ve been in the gym the last couple of days, that’s part of being in a winter sport. You have to make sacrifices, which means coming in and practicing the day after Christmas. I thought they played extraordinary today. Elk River is one of the top three teams in our section, and we were right there.” BHS kept chipping away at the Elks’ lead. Matjea Malterud took a charge on the defensive end before Karley LaZella finished another contested layup to pull the Jacks within three. However, Bemidji didn’t have enough to tie the game. Despite Elk River missing four of its six free-throw attempts in the final 90 seconds, it hung on by the skin of its teeth to pull out a 58-55 win over the Lumberjacks. “We need to find a way to get over the hump so we’re winning these games against top-notch teams,” Schultz said. “I truly believe we’re a top team in our section, but it comes down to the little things. We gave up too many offensive rebounds today, and that’s a big reason why this game played out the way it did.” Shots weren’t falling for either team early on. The Elks held a 7-6 lead as the first half crossed the midway point. Elk River pulled ahead 22-16 late in the first half before taking a four-point lead into the locker room. The Elks opened the second half on a 10-3 run. After BHS began to close the gap again, a pair of 3-pointers from Kaelee Hansen and a layup from Elsie Ostmoe extended the Elks’ lead to double digits at 43-30. Then the Jacks got to work. Malterud finished a pair of contested layups to push her point total to 12. She also collected a bevy of timely rebounds on both ends of the floor. “Matjea spends more time in the gym than anybody sees,” Schultz said. “She’s in here on her own doing the work, and it’s showing on the court. I’m so proud of her. The work she’s putting in is paying off for our team.” LaZella was also a force in the second half, scoring 10 of her co-game-high 14 points. “Karley is so unique, she’s so strong inside,” Schultz said. “Pretty much every night we play, we have an advantage inside, and that’s a really good thing for us. We can utilize the inside game, and typically, Karley starts the game inside, and the other team starts to dig and double her. That opens up everybody else.” The Jacks also did an impressive job of getting to the free-throw line, taking 28 attempts. Bemidji spent 15 minutes in the bonus combined between the first and second halves. “It’s been one of the biggest positives in our season so far,” Schultz said. “We’ve been getting to the line about 20 times a game. Tonight, I bet we were close to 30. That’s because our girls are being aggressive, we aren’t backing down from anybody. It’s only going to serve us well as we continue on with our season.” Elk River had a chance to ice the game at the free-throw line with 12.7 seconds left and a two-point lead. Joanna Talso split her attempts from the stripe before Elks head coach Ryan Mynahan took his final timeout. It allowed Bemidji (6-4) to draw up a play for the final shot down three. In the waning seconds, Liv Thompson had an open look to tie the game. However, her shot clanked off the rim as time expired. Despite entering Saturday’s game under. 500, Elk River’s (4-5) record is deceiving. Schultz credited the Elks for navigating a tough schedule in the first half of their season. “Their losses are against top-10 teams in Class 4A,” Schultz said. “They played a six-point game against St. Michael-Albertville, they’ve played some really good teams. So when I look at our team and how we measure up to that, I think we’re right on the brink. We were right there with Sartell and Buffalo. Those are some of the top-notch teams in our section.” ER 24 34 – 58 BHS 20 35 – 55 Bemidji – LaZella 14, Malterud 12, Bieber 12, Daman 6, Anderson 5, Thompson 4, LaDuke 2. Elk River – L.
