HEY! HEY!

we have officially made it home. i got home late late last night… but still in time for a waffle house stop and a midnight grocery run with my roomie. apparently, i’m cooking dinner tonight. which is a scary thought. it’s good to be home!!!

so, what did you guys think of the vma’s? i heard a lot of people saying that they didn’t actually enjoy the show from television but i will say that being there was a trip. i even congratulated britney face to face! i was so stoked! she looked gorgeous and it was nice to have the biggest female pop artist back in the game. i’m ready for her to take over again, man. no shame. let’s see, what else happened? oh, yeah… we got THIS close to winning a vma and being presented an award by slash and shia lebouf. wow. i was actually rooting for slipknot. those dudes sat in front of us during the show… wouldn’t want to ruin their rep but, i gotta say, they were the nicest guys. the whole night was insane. very surreal. in a different way than the grammy ceremony. the grammy’s felt very high society, much classier - rightly so. the vma’s were like going to the most ridiculous prom with the “coolest” people dressed up for the occassion … millions of different groups of popular kids. not like high school where all the popular kids hang out together. just tons of popular kids, haha. and there we were smack dab in the middle of it all! it was a blast. obviously, for us, the best part was performing. it actually felt like a real show. familiar faces all lined up around the stage, everyone was singing along. it ruled. my yellow pants even made a come back! so, the night ended with a tuna melt from swingers and a tall glass of water. the guys and i didn’t eat the entire day, so by the end of the night i was beyond starvation. of all the ways we could’ve gone out… after a year and a half of RIOT! i couldn’t have come up with a better exit. playing the vma’s AND a tuna melt?! YES PLEASE!

we are back home. recording again for a possible shot at the twilight soundtrack! the rumors are a little less than true but a little more than a lie. today we are at blackbird studio in nashville… it’s crazy to me that we’ve never actually Read More…

Thanks to Buzznet.

Paramore Interview at the MTV Video Music Awards 2008

Alex informs Hayley Williams that Gerard Way has recently dyed his hair red! Watch and find out what hair tips Hayley gives to Gerard for his new red hair! Also, Paramore talks unicorns and vampires! For a gallery of Paramore live performance photos from the VMA’s see here.

From E! online:

“Lautner and Pattinson hit the VMAs with Twilight costars Kristen Stewart and Cam Gigandet (that’s Cam above in the middle of Pattinson and Lautner) to introduce a performance by Paramore, the pop-rock band that has a new still-untitled song on the movie’s soundtrack.”

Now that Britney Spears seems to have cemented her comeback (kinda) with three MTV VMA Moonmen, including Video of the Year, the singer has a tour waiting for her if she wants. “Hopefully Britney will get it together, and then we’ll rope her in and bring her along with us,” Paramore singer Hayley Williams told Popeater on the VMA red carpet Sunday night. “That would be interesting — Britney Spears on tour with us.” When asked why Britney, Williams offered up a point blank response: “Why not? She’s Britney Spears.”
Britney wouldn’t be their only choice when it comes to a dream tour. Williams also lists Muse, Death Cab for Cutie, the Deftones, Lil’ Wayne, Tupac (hey, it’s a dream festival) and Coolio. “Fantastic Voyage’ — have to get some of that on there,” Williams says of Coolio’s massive 1994 hit.
The band may not be able to put together the tour in time for their brief upcoming Latin America trek, their first of the region, but if all goes well, they may be out again by next summer in support of a new album. “We’re gonna go home right after this and hopefully start to write [a new album] soon,” Williams says. “Hopefully [we'll] put out a record, maybe next summer.”
Britney, can you hear them?

I just uploaded some more pictures from the VMA’s to our gallery.

Misery Business Live at the VMA’s

Red Carpet

mtv.com:

Buzzworthy: What can we expect from your first-ever VMA performance?

Hayley Williams: This is the first time people are ever going to see us associated with something this big… the most important thing to us is that people see us being exactly who we are.

Buzzworthy: Do you have any classic VMA memories?

Hayley: I saw the Britney Spears and *NSYNC collaboration, where they were all sitting at desks like they were at high school or something. That performance is forever etched on my heart. (Watch it below!)

Buzzworthy: What are we gonna see you in on the red carpet? Did it take you long to decide what to wear?

Hayley: There is a dress that I have in mind. It was a gift from my man! As soon as I saw it I wanted to wear it to the VMAs. The dress is very… me. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it!

Buzzworthy: Who are you excited to see on the red carpet?

Hayley: I just want to shake Britney’s hand.
