MILEY CYRUS has found an unlikely source of support in a rock star - PARAMORE's HAYLEY WILLIAMS.
The Hannah Montana star sparked controversy in the U.S. when the candid snaps - which show Cyrus posing bare-backed, wrapped in a satin sheet - emerged online, forcing the 15-year-old to issue an apology over the controversial Annie Leibovitz photos.
But Williams - who is a family friend of the star - insists her pal will survive unscathed by the scandal.
She tells MTV news, ""We grew up around the Cyrus family, and they're amazing people, and I know they wouldn't steer their daughter wrong.
"Miley's got a good head on her shoulders, so I think she'll come out of all this strong. She's a great girl."

PARAMORE VOW TO NEVER STOP
PARAMORE have reassured fans they are not splitting up - insisting "the music's never gonna stop". The band sparked rumours of a split last month (Feb08) by cancelling the remaining dates on their European tour due to unspecified "internal issues". But the Tennessee four-piece were adamant they had put their problems behind them at a gig in La Zona Rosa as part of the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas on Friday (14Mar08) night. Frontwoman Hayley Williams told the audience, "I know there's been a lot of craziness going on and if you follow our band you may have heard about it in the press or whatever, but the music is never gonna stop for us, and thanks for believing in us." She added, "This was our first show in about a month, and it couldn't have gone any better."

WILLIAMS SLAMS PARAMORE SPLIT REPORTS
PARAMORE front woman HAYLEY WILLIAMS has dismissed reports the band is to split - despite cancelling the remainder of their European tour over "internal issues". The 19-year-old singer posted a message, signed by all four band members, on her blog on Thursday (21Feb08) announcing the group needed to take time off to work out their personal problems. But Williams has since updated her blog, insisting her comments were taken out of proportion. She writes, "Since we posted the last entry, we've gotten tons of phone calls and people posting things on Web sites saying that we are breaking up. I just want to make it clear, though... we weren't saying the band was over. We posted because we are going through hard times and we felt that because we have a really good support system in you guys, our fans, it would be better for us to just be honest about what's going on - even though it was a pretty vague explanation." And the flame-haired star has refuted allegations the tour cancellation was caused by her falling pregnant. Williams adds, "Man, some of the rumors that I've heard going around are insane! It's weird how out of hand things can get even when you just try to tell a simple truth (for the record, my Eggo is not preggo). Anyway, we just need to take time to make this band the best it can be... and we are doing that now." A spokesperson for Atlantic Records has confirmed Paramore are still scheduled to tour with Jimmy Eat World in April (08) in the U.S.

PARAMORE TOUR CANCELED DUE TO INTERNAL ISSUES
The future of PARAMORE is in doubt after the U.S. rockers abruptly cancelled the remainder of their European tour, blaming "a lot of internal issues". Singer Hayley Williams posted a message, signed by all four band members, on her internet blog on Thursday (21Feb08) announcing the group needs to take time off to work out their personal problems. Williams writes: "(There are) a lot of internal issues that have been going on in this band for quite a while now... "We were able to fight through all of it for this long, but unfortunately we weren't able to keep it together long enough to make it through the end of the tour.” We really feel that taking this time is going to give us a chance to get away and work out our personal issues at home and on our own terms. We just aren't willing to risk the life of our band over one tour... "Maybe one day we will tell the whole story, but for now, just know that all five of us are going to work so hard to get it right."
Paramore was due to have played five more European gigs including a date scheduled in Paris, France on Thursday (21Feb08) night.

PARAMORE SHOCKED BY ELDERLY FANS
U.S. rockers PARAMORE are surprised that their music exerts a pull on elderly fans - but insist older people "are cool". The pop-punk four-piece are surprised their tunes appeal to a more aged market, but credit their younger supporters with bringing their parents along to gigs - and end up becoming fans of the group.
Guitarist Josh Farro tells MTV.com, "At shows now there’s a lot of an older person. It's cool because we're used to kids our age and mostly younger. But now it's anywhere from 10 years old to 55. But it's cool that people older than my dad enjoy our music."
Drummer Zac Farro adds, "For every five 13-year-old girls, there's a dad with them. And they're like, 'Well, they dragged me to this concert, but I just like it. I'm still gonna be out there singing the words.' We get it all the time. 'I'm not gonna use headphones, because I want to rock out with you guys.'"

PARAMORE NEARLY MISS U.K FESTIVAL
Rockers PARAMORE nearly let pass their set at England's Reading Festival last weekend (25Aug07) following their flight from the U.S was cancelled. The band - which was forced to pull out of the festival last year (06) because front woman Hayley Williams was sick - feared flight cancellations, would put this year's performance in jeopardy. But they finally managed to board a flight to the U.K in time to perform at the festival.
Williams says, "We had to cancel last year because I was really sick and I think it's time for another apology. But our flight got here today and now we're all together".

about hayley
I am pretty simple. Music, make up, and fashion are what I'm really into. Sort of a typical girls list of hobbies...but I ain't no girls girl. I'm into making memories with photographs and I tend to be pretty nostalgic. Anything to do with the south, I'm down for it: good times and BBQ!!!
My goal is to make music that people, 30 or 40 years from now, wish they were around for.
musical influences
Etta James, Chaka Khan, Jimmy Eat World, The Cure, Refused, New Found Glory, Sunny Day Real Estate, Failure, mid to late 90's pop rock (Third Eye Blind, Semisonic, Filter) and NSync... and many others.
favorite songs to perform live
"For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic"
favorite places
Nashville, TN, anywhere in California, Tokyo, Japan, or Brisbane and Melbourne, Australia
favorite things
Loud music on road trips, our 12 passenger van, The Warped Tour, Downtown Franklin, fishing, dancing, Sam and Zoe's for lunch when we are rehearsing in Nashville for tour, going to the movie theater, and a soy 6 pump extra hot no water chai (apparently this is Madonna's favorite drink so I tried it and now the whole Starbucks experience, for me, is based around this drink! You should try it.)
My Top 5 Favorite Foods:
- Mr. Farro's walnut chicken...really anything Mr. or Mrs. Farro cook.
- All foods involving lots of cheese (Because it's usually forbidden due to the voice).

Paramore To Release Their Next Single
Paramore have named their next single following their recent sold out UK tour, and it is another lifted from their hugely popular second album Riot!
The four-piece will now release the song crushcrushcrush on November 19th through Fueled By Ramen records and if you attended any of the shows recently, you'll recognise the track as a standout and fan favourite.
Paramore's popularity seems to be rising steadily by the day and thanks to constant touring, the band have now sold over 250,000 copies of Riot! since being released 13 weeks ago.

Paramore Part ways with Guitarist
Tennessee outfit PARAMORE have parted ways with rhythm guitarist Hunter Lamb. The band have issued the following statement on the matter:
"The past few months have brought incredible things our way and have also forced us to face some of the hardest times we've ever been through as a band... both professionally and personally. At some points, we had no clue how we would all come through or if we'd even make it far enough to record the album. And even though we made our way through many of those things, we weren't able to come through the way we had pictured it.
"We have parted ways with our friend and guitarst for the past year, Hunter Lamb. We wish Hunter the best in all that he does next and in his engagement and marriage. It was a blessing getting to know him on the road and we were lucky to have him in the band with us. Obviously, we've been through more than a couple member changes and we are sure it's probably frustrating and confusing to you guys and we aren't really sure what more to say. Sometimes, things just don't work out the way you thought they would.
"Right now, we feel really great as a four piece band. But who knows what the future might hold, as we are always full of these types of surprises.
Hopefully, these changes will better prepare us for the year(s) to
come."

Paramore "My Heart"
Paramore's video for 'My Heart' from their album, All We Know Is Falling.
Paramore My Heart Lyrics
I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me, this is what I need, please?
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard A sound, the sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening.
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
(My heart, it beats for you)
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
(It beats, beats for only you. My heart is your's)
My heart, my heart is yours
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart, my heart is yours
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart is yours
My heart is yours
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart is yours
My heart is...

Paramore "Franklin"
Paramore's video for 'Franklin' from their album, All We Know Is Falling.
Paramore is one of those bands that have earned their fair share of the h-word. ... "Franklin" is a song about their adopted hometown of Franklin, Tennessee
This album is an extremely strong debut, although it is a shame that it has been out for around a year. In general, the band has a strong punk/scene sound typical to their label (Fueled by Ramen). The first song is a strong, loud wake up call perfectly suited to its position on the album. From there, the record continues with more upbeat tunes like Pressure and Brighter. Later tracks like Conspiracy and Franklin provide a darker contrast to preceding songs
The lyrics are pretty typical fare for this sort of band: Nothing too deep, but nothing too shallow at the same time. They do fit the band and the lead singer, whose voice is raw but quite talented and well-controlled. She has just the right range for her band.
The album overall is mastered well with a defined bass and (usually) crisp treble. This album manages to do something that many other albums fail to achieve: it is easy to listen to but also provides for some great in-depth listening experiences. In other words, you can listen to it passively and enjoy it just as much as if you were heavily concentrating on the music.
Paramore Franklin Lyrics
And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Paramore "Conspiracy"
Paramore's video for 'Conspiracy' from their album, All We Know Is Falling.
"About the song Conspiracy performed by Paramore" i love paramore... Hayley's voice is just wonderful...and the beat of the this song is just amazing
Paramore Conspiracy Lyrics
Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them
Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
Where can I turn? Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty I'm so unsure of
Tell me why I feel so alone cause I need to Know to whom do I owe
Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
I thought that we'd make it
Because you said that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
will you be there to help me through
Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
I've lost my power

I've hoped for change,

And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We're doing fine

Paramore - Never Let This Go
"All We Know" is a single from Paramore's debut album All We Know Is Falling.
I love this song and this band! They are so awesome!!!
I always got the sense that she was saying that he's become such a part of her life that she really couldn't imagine being without him. But at the same time, he's changed and she doesn't want him around. She's not strong enough to break things off so she's hoping that he'll do it instead.
Paramore Never Let This Go Lyrics
Maybe if my heart stops beating
It won't hurt this much
And never will I have to answer
Again to anyone
Please don't get me wrong
Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you
One day you'll get sick of
saying that everything's alright
And by then I'm sure I'll be pretending
Just like I am tonight
Please don't get me wrong
Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you
Let this go, let this go
But I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you
And I'll never let this go
I can't find the words to tell you
That now I feel like I don't know you

Paramore "All We Know"
"All We Know" is a single from Paramore's debut album All We Know Is Falling.
Paramore - All We Know lyrics
We've tried so hard to understand, but we can't.
We held the world out in our hands and you ran away.
It takes some time to let you go and it shows.
Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.
Now we can follow you back home but we won't.
Is this what you had waited for? Just to be alone?
It takes some time to let you go and it shows.
Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.
You never, you never said
This wasn't what you wanted, was it? Was it?
This isn't what you wanted.
This isn't what you wanted.
Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all

Paramore "Brighter"
Paramore's video for 'Brighter' from their album, All We Know Is Falling.
Paramore "Brighter" Lyrics
So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.
Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you
Then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
Always know that you shine brighter than anyone does.
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.
If you run away now,
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away,
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright.
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.
I'll wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
(You shine bright, you shine bright)
I'll wave goodbye tonight.

Paramore "Here we go again"
Paramore's video for 'Here We Go Again' from their album, All We Know Is Falling.
Here We Go Again Lyrics
And here we go again
With all the things we said
And not a minute spent
To think that we'd regret
So we just take it back,
These words and hold our breath
Forget the things we swore we meant
I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not. No I'm not. Well, I'm not.
And here we go again
With all the things we did
And now I'm wondering
Just who would I have been
To be the one attached
At all time to your hip?
Forget the things we swore we meant.
I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not, no I'm not.
Well, I'm not. (No, I'm not, no I'm not).
I'll write you to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not (no, I'm not)
Well, I'm not (no, I'm not)
I'm not, I'm not.
And here we go again
With all the things we said
And not a minute spent
To think that we'd regret
So we just take it back

Paramore "Emergency"
Paramore's video for 'Emergency' from their album, All We Know Is Falling.
"Emergency" is the second single from Paramore's album All We Know Is Falling. It was released in the UK on August 21, 2006 on 7" Vinyl and was a HMV Exclusive Single which came with a B-side, "Oh, Star," and a free poster. The song, written by Hayley Williams, is about how love is taken for granted and means nothing nowadays, and that relationships are really in emergency status. It was written about a time when a member's parent's were about to split up, and they had to watch this happen in front of them as a child with no power to do anything about it.
The music video starts with Hayley and Jeremy sitting in a derelict room. The other band members walk in, with everyone has having cuts and bandages over their body. The director walks in throwing Hayley some carnations and leading the way outside. Outside we see a set with cameras and lighting, the band gets blood make-up touch-up and the director mouths "Action!" and the band does a group performance.
The carnations worn by each band member in the music video represent "emotional baggage" being carried around, stated Williams in an interview.[citation needed] The video was directed by Shane Drake who also directed their "Pressure" video as well as Panic! at the Disco's "I Write Sins" music video.
The dress Hayley wore in the video is now in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in the Warped Tour exhibit.
Paramore Emergency Lyrics
As if we have an emergency
As if we have an emergency
If you thought I'm breathing you were wrong
'cause I won't stop holding on
Are you listening?
If you thought I'm breathing you were wrong
'cause I won't stop holding on
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault
No one cares to talk about it,
talk about it
I've seen love die way too many times
when it deserved to be alive
(deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry way too many times
when you deserve to be alive, alive
So you give up every chance you get
just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love,
but you don't know what love is
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault
No one cares to talk about it,
talk about it
I've seen love die way too many times
when it deserved to be alive
(deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry way too many times
when you deserve to be alive, alive
I've seen love die way too many times
when it deserved to be alive
(deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry way too many times
when you deserve to be alive, alive
