Hayley Williams the Singer of Paramore Topless of the Day

I don’t know who Paramore is, so I’m not sure if this picture that is being emailed to me is of the lead singer or not. It could be any Goth, Emo, Annoying, Played out, teenage angst lookin cunt who rarely turn me on cuz I like my pussy lookin’ wholesome, not damaged teenage runaway turned prostitute/stripper who listens to dark music and cries cuz she is so obscure and into art and dressing like every other teenage girl who thinks she’s obscure and into art…it’s not for me.. I am not sure these are recent. I just know that they were apparently posted to twitter. Maybe it was accidental, despite nothing ever being accidental in Hollywood or entertainment, so I can just assume it’s a publicity stunt that will be spun as some kind of horrible story we all end up feeling sorry for her down the road cuz tits are a sacred thing in America and you shouldn’t be going out showing the world or some shit that I don’t agree with because I love tits and think every girl should be forced to go out topless, and I’m just hoping these Paramore pics help influence at least one girl to take topless pictures of herself cuz it’s really not a big deal, I mean everyone’s got tits, even me, so you might as well just be showing them off and sending them to my info (at) drunkenstepfather.com email….you see what I just did there, didn’t you…I’ll let you know if anyone sends any it….

Hayley Williams’ Twitpic Account Hacked

Topless picture of Paramore singer was posted to her Twitter on Thursday. By Gil Kaufman Hayley Williams Photo: Christopher Polk/ Getty Images Paramore’s Hayley Williams is the latest star to have stolen compromising photos posted on the Internet without her permission. The topless twitpic of the redheaded singer staring into the camera was posted on Thursday and sent to Williams’ more than 600,000 followers before getting removed. But at that point, it was too late, as the photo made its way to a gossip sites all across the Net within hours. The bummed-out frontwoman reacted to the hack on Thursday night, tweeting , “Well … my night just changed drastically. Got hacked.” Williams recently shot the video for B.o.B.’s “Airplanes,” one of MTV News’ candidates for summer jam of 2010. Paramore head out on the road for the Honda Civic Tour (along with Tegan and Sara, New Found Glory and Kadawatha) beginning July 23 in Raleigh, North Carolina. She joins a long list of female celebrities who’ve had their private photos leaked onto the web, including Ashley Greene , Vanessa Hudgens , Miley Cyrus , Megan Fox (which were actually fake photos) and Cassie . At press time, Williams had not made any further comments on the incident, and a spokesperson for Paramore’s label could not be reached for comment.

Lady Gaga’s ‘Alejandro’: The Summer Jam Of 2010?

Song came out last fall, but video is on the way — and who would bet against Gaga? By James Montgomery Lady Gaga Photo: Interscope Records Sure, it’s from an album that came out last year, but that doesn’t mean you should bet against Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” in the Summer Jam Sweepstakes . After all, there are about a million compelling reasons why it could very well be the biggest song on the beaches, chief among them this one: At this point, why bet against her? Yes, in her meteoric rise to the top of the pop world, there’s not much Gaga hasn’t accomplished, though a surefire summertime smash may be one of them. “Paparazzi” started picking up steam in the summer of 2009, but due mostly to scheduling, LG has yet to release a single during tanning season. Until now, that is. Because “Alejandro” is primed and ready as the third single from her massive Fame Monster album, and thanks to a high-profile (and slightly controversial) performance of the tune on “American Idol” and sure-to-be discussed video in the works (it’s due next month), it wouldn’t surprise us to see Gaga topping the charts this summer, which, by proxy, would all but cement the song as the official soundtrack to the bikini months. There’s plenty to love about the song, too: From the sparkling, slightly Spanish production work of frequent collaborator RedOne to the goofy accent Gaga adopts for the tune, it’s very much an over-the-top delight, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out just how much it reminds us of Madonna’s easy, breezy “La Isla Bonita,” which was a hit way back in the summer of ’87. And let’s face it: If there’s one song that will serve as the score to your summer-long fling with a dreamy-yet-slightly-distant exchange student (“I know that we are young, and I know that you may love me/ But I just can’t be with you like this anymore, Alejandro “), well, this is probably it. So while it faces some stiff competition — from the likes of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” and the B.o.B/ Hayley Williams team-up “Airplanes” to name just two — “Alejandro” feels like a strong contender to become the song of summer 2010. And if/when it does, it’ll only further illustrate the fact that Lady Gaga can basically do anything. Like we said, why would you bet against her? Vote for the summer jam of 2010 in the MTV Newsroom now, and stay tuned all week for more on the hottest songs of the season. Related Videos Who Will Have The Song Of The Summer?

Usher, Katy Perry, B.o.B And More: Who Has The Song Of The Summer?

Lady Gaga and 3OH!3 and Ke$ha are also in MTV News’ 2010 summer-jam race — who gets your vote? By Kyle Anderson Photo: Interscope Records With Memorial Day weekend just around the corner, it’s finally time to get summer started properly. But perhaps more important than the baseball games, barbecues, pool parties and beach trips that will pepper the next few warm-weather months is the singular song that will provide the soundtrack to all those events. It’s time to choose the official summer jam of 2010, and we’re leaving it up to you. There isn’t a lot of science that goes into a great summer song, but you certainly know it when you hear it. It has to be catchy, bright, fun and sound great cranked way, way up in a car with the windows rolled down. Think Rihanna’s “Umbrella” (the jam of 2007), Nelly’s “Hot in Herre” (2002), Pras’ “Ghetto Supastar” (1998) or the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” (2009’s entry). For summer 2010, there are five strong nominees that we think are the front-runners for the title. All week, MTV News will be laying out the case for each, and we’ll be throwing the vote to you. At the end of the week, we will have crowned a summer jam that you can play at maximum volume during whatever long-weekend activity you have planned and comfortably call it summertime. Our five nominees are: Lady Gaga ‘s “Alejandro,” B.o.B ‘s “Airplanes” (featuring Eminem and Hayley Williams), 3OH!3 and Ke$ha ‘s “First Kiss,” Usher ‘s “OMG” and Katy Perry ‘s “California Gurls” (featuring Snoop Dogg). Stay tuned to MTV News and the MTV Newsroom blog for much more on these five jams. So pick out your favorite swimsuit, slather on some SPF 30 and get voting, because it’s time for summer jams! Which of our five nominees do you think deserves the title? Sound off in the comments!

Paramore Perform ‘The Only Exception’ On ‘Ellen’

Band is wrapping up a spring tour before headlining this summer’s Honda Civic Tour. By MTV News staff Paramore’s Hayley Williams performs on “Ellen” Photo: Warner Bros. On Friday (May 14), Paramore took time off from their spring tour to stop by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where they performed a somber, sweet version of their current single, “The Only Exception.” The performance — actually taped Thursday — showcased Paramore’s burgeoning quiet side, with frontwoman Hayley Williams singing in hushed tones, her eyes tightly shut, and guitarist Josh Farro strumming the melody on an acoustic and singing backup. The band’s other guitarist, Taylor York, added dreamy flourishes on an electric. Bassist Jeremy Davis and drummer Zac Farro played it similarly tight, laying down a muted, pretty backbeat. It was a stately, refined performance, perfectly suited for daytime TV, and at the end, the audience cheered wildly, while Williams did a triumphant jig — apparently there were some real-deal Paramore fans in the crowd, too, as Williams finished her little dance and pointed and smiled to a section of the audience — and DeGeneres herself bounded onstage to thank the band, declaring, “I love them!” She then touted Paramore’s Brand New Eyes album and announced that everyone in the studio audience would be receiving a copy. Paramore will wrap their spring tour Sunday and, after a run of festival gigs in Europe, will return to the States to headline the Honda Civic Tour , which kicks off July 23 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Tegan and Sara, New Found Glory and Kadawatha will be joining them on the trek. Williams can also be heard singing the hook on B.o.B’s smash “Airplanes,” and she’s already planning to shoot her cameo in the video. Did you see Paramore’s “Ellen” appearance?

Paramore Working On New Songs — Two Seconds At A Time

Band says ideas for new songs are often born on tour, but usually write at home. By James Montgomery Paramore’s Hayley Williams Photo: MTV News It seems odd to talk about “new” Paramore songs, given that their Brand New Eyes album is just seven months old, but the fact remains that there actually are some new tracks in the works … albeit ones that are progressing very slowly. “[Frontwoman Hayley Williams] normally needs to rest her voice during show days, so she’ll come to soundcheck sometimes and just listen to her in-ear monitors,” drummer Zac Farro told MTV News on Saturday at the Bamboozle festival in New Jersey. “The other day, we were just messing around — we have a couple of songs we just play for fun. They’re never anything we’ll probably use, but we’ve been playing them for a while. [They’re] just random, two-second things.” So while it sounds like those “two-second” things might not amount to much, Farro quickly added, “Actually, ‘Decode’ and ‘I Caught Myself’ [ Paramore’s two songs on the “Twilight” soundtrack ] were kind of written that way, so you never really know.” Williams agreed, though she made it clear that the band is still very much focused on playing songs from Brand New Eyes, and said that the majority of writing for the follow-up — whenever it may happen — will take place at home in Franklin, Tennessee. “We like coming up with new things, but, like Zac says, it’s usually at home, at practice,” Williams said. “We usually write intros and outros for shows, and that’s a good outlet for us, and a way to keep our creative brains rolling and keep our chops up. But, like he said, it’s like two seconds and then we’re done.” And Paramore will have even more time to work on those two-second outbursts (maybe even extending them to four or five seconds,) when they hit the road on the Honda Civic Tour with Tegan and Sara and New Found Glory. The trek kicks off July 23 and already, Williams and company are getting pumped — even if it means they’re not going to be home any time soon. “We all like a bit of everything, musically, and you can usually tell that in our [concert] bills,” Williams said. “I think Honda Civic Tour is the most diverse lineup we’ve ever had. And I’m really psyched about it. I saw Tegan and Sara in Nashville, and they were great. It’s going to be a lot of fun!” Related Artists Paramore

Hayley Williams ‘Stoked’ To Shoot B.o.B’s ‘Airplanes’ Video

‘I think it’ll be a lot easier than a Paramore shoot but different and challenging in a new way,’ she tells MTV News. By James Montgomery Paramore’s Hayley Williams Photo: MTV News EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey — B.o.B ‘s “Nothin’ on You” currently sits atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and “Airplanes” — the second single from his The Adventures of Bobby Ray album — has just leapt into the top 10. The Atlanta MC, who already has a video for “Nothin’,” just shot a clip for his sophomore single, albeit one that’s missing a key component: Paramore ‘s Hayley Williams, who sings the track’s hook. But all that is going to change — and soon. When we spoke to Williams at this weekend’s Bamboozle music festival, the singer said she had already carved out time to shoot her portion of the “Airplanes” video, even if she didn’t quite know what she had signed up for. “Hopefully, right after this tour [ Paramore’s spring run with Relient-K and Fun], I’ll get to do my part of the B.o.B video,” she said. “I’m stoked, because I’ve seen a couple of treatments, and I don’t know exactly what I’m getting into yet, but I’m stoked about it, because I know it’ll be different, and I think it’ll be a lot easier than a Paramore shoot but different and challenging in a new way. It’ll definitely be shorter than a Paramore video; no 12-hour day on a chorus.” So what will Williams — who, to be honest, isn’t the first person you’d think would be popping up in a hip-hop video — be doing in “Airplanes”? Good question. Paramore bassist Jeremy Davis joked that “she’s gonna be on a boat with a swimsuit and a martini.” But Williams said she’ll be taking inspiration from some of the classics. Sort of. “Growing up, I saw a lot of hip-hop videos. I always liked TLC, and I always liked Aaliyah videos, I thought they were great. Missy Elliott videos were amazing. But obviously, I’m not going to get in front of a camera and pretend to be Aaliyah or Missy Elliott. I mean, I’m still Hayley from Paramore,” she laughed. “And that’s what I think is great about it; I’m bringing a different side to what B.o.B is doing … and I think what we do as a band actually fits in some weird way. I was looking at videos of him online, at his shows, and his crowd doesn’t look too far off from, like, the kind of people we play to; same age. It seems like a good match, and I’m excited to bring whatever I have to offer to the table for him.” And since she’ll be filming her portion of the video without B.o.B, it will keep one aspect of their collaboration intact: the fact that they’ve never actually met face-to-face. “We’ve never met in person,” Williams said. “We’ve talked on Twitter, and he’s really cool. We’ll never meet. We’re going to perform the song live via Skype.” What classic hip-hop videos would you like to see Hayley inspired by? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Paramore B.o.B

T.I. Premieres ‘I’m Back,’ First Video Since Prison Release

Clip, from forthcoming album King Uncaged, finds Tip getting reacquainted with his hometown. By Jayson Rodriguez T.I. in his video for “I’m Back” Photo: Atlantic Everybody loves a comeback, and T.I. is in full force with his return. On Monday night, the Atlanta rapper premiered the video for “I’m Back,” the first track he’s released since he ended his federal prison sentence earlier this year. The clip debuted on T.I.’s website , and features him returning to his roots. Tip, sitting shotgun in a black SUV, is driven to a group of buildings. The truck slowly pulls up to a warehouse in the complex and Tip exits the vehicle as the door to the building opens. T.I. quickly enters and lights a match to brighten up the dark space. Clad in a hoodie, T-shirt and little jewelry, Tip walks up to a covered car parked inside. When T.I. pulls back the cover, the camera finds his car, a Ferrari, waiting for him. The rapper shuffles over to the trunk of the import and inside spots a leather bag, from which he retrieves wads of cash and an expensive watch and necklace set. And his shades. From there, Tip takes a spin in his car and gets reacquainted with his hometown. But like the lyrics in the song, T.I. isn’t revisiting his past mistakes, he’s moving on. “Probably just seen Wayne, Gucci Mane, me and Boosie all go to prison, now he flippin’ his whole image,” Tip raps. “Really trippin’, listen dude, for you that’s not in your cards/ Think the power’s in the gun, but overall it’s in your heart.” “I’m Back,” the first offering from T.I.’s forthcoming King Uncaged LP, premiered last month. The rapper, who hasn’t spoken much since he was released from prison late last month has been hard at work on his album, which is scheduled to arrive in stores and online August 17. In an interview that was posted on his site recently, the rapper spoke about the project and promised fans a more aggressive tone on King Uncaged . “I want to maintain the level of success I’ve been fortunate enough to do, over and over again, over the years,” Tip said. “This album is different in many ways. I think that Paper Trail was a lot more about thoughts; this is more about feelings. This is significantly more aggressive, or at least at this period in production. Who knows? I can do 10 love songs tomorrow and change the direction. At this point, right now, it’s going hard. It’s going hard like classic T.I.” What do you think of T.I.’s new video?

B.o.B Says Debut Album Has Some ‘Surprising Factors’

‘You can’t just understand me with one song,’ he says of B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray. By Steven Roberts Photo: MTV News B.o.B has forged quite a path for himself during his brief time in the music industry. The promising young MC is set to release his debut album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, on Tuesday (April 27) after a year that included announcements of alleged retirements , label squabbling and two name changes (Bobby Ray and then back again to B.o.B). Now B.o.B finds himself with the #2 record in the country and his collaboration with Paramore’s Hayley Williams following close behind. B.o.B said that he and his fans are finally ready for his full-length effort. “Getting to this point and finally getting an album out — I know I speak on behalf of all my fans — it’s been a very long wait and I feel like everybody’s finally ready for it,” he explained. “Even though I’ve had a lot of music in the past, I feel like now it’s timing, because timing plays a huge role in the success of things — especially me, and getting here really took a lot of online presence, a lot of performing. It took a lot of shows. “It took a lot of building relationships,” he continued. “Even with the fans, you have to build the relationship with the fans. Someone may just like one song, but that’s just one song. You really have got to build and grow. My music has a wide variety to it, so you can’t just understand me with one song.” B.o.B joked that it would probably take the average listener 10 songs to get to know him — his album is eclectic and not short on guest appearances, featuring T.I., Lupe Fiasco, Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and Eminem . “I think now people know what they should expect, and even still, playing the album for people they’re still like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know it was going to be that,’ ” he said of fans’ reactions. “I think the fans know to expect decent music. I don’t think anybody’s expectations will be low for it, but I feel like it will definitely have some surprising factors to it.” What do you think of B.o.B’s debut? Let us know in the comments below!

B.o.B Has ‘Always’ Been A Fan Of Paramore’s Hayley Williams

‘People who go to my shows are the same people that go to Paramore shows,’ he says of ‘Airplanes’ collaborator. By Steven Roberts Hayley Williams Photo: Christopher Polk/ Getty Images Last week, B.o.B released the single “Airplanes,” featuring Paramore leading lady Hayley Williams. The Atlanta rapper followed that up with “Airplanes (Part II),” this time with Eminem joining Williams in the guest spot . Both tracks are from the MC’s debut album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, due April 27. When MTV News caught up with Williams recently, the Paramore singer sounded psyched to jump on the record . “I was given the track awhile ago while we were on tour,” she told MTV News. “The guys and I all loved it. They told me I was crazy if I passed it up. I liked the part too much anyways. So, of course, I was down.” Williams also revealed that she was a big fan of B.o.B, whom she called a “genius.” B.o.B was just as excited about the collaboration when MTV News met up with him before his packed show at SOB’s last week. “First off, Paramore is the sh–,” B.o.B said. “I’ve always been a Hayley fan, and to work with her, that’s another thing I didn’t think would happen to me as soon as it did.” Although the duo didn’t get in the studio together, B.o.B said he and the Paramore vocalist talked, and she really liked the song’s vibe. While the pairing might seem like an odd one, especially considering Williams has never done any rap features, B.o.B said he’d observed that his fans’ musical tastes are as eclectic as his are. “That’s something that I notice,” he said. “Like, if I do my shows and I go out to the crowd and talk to people, I’ll ask them what type of music they listen to. Everybody listens to everything. People who go to my shows are the same people that go to Paramore shows, are the same people that go to a Lupe [Fiasco] show or a Common show, because it’s all about the music, and it’s all about the energy put behind it.” B.o.B said he was fortunate not only to get to work with Williams, but also many of the artists on his album. More than securing a simple “yes,” schedules were often a key factor. “The timing of everything is real divine. It almost seems like it’s supposed to happen,” he said. “It’s kind of freaky sometimes how my first album — I have so many people on it. And these are people that inspire me tremendously, and just to have them on the album is amazing.” Were you surprised to hear Hayley on a B.o.B track? Who else would you like to hear the MC with?
