Paramore Welcome The Newest Member Of The Band
An inordinate number of stars from the music world are in Australia at the moment (including Taylor Swift and Paramore), and it's hard to blame them. While the United States continues to struggle through a cold winter with freakishly huge amounts of snow falling seemingly every other day, it's currently the middle of summer south of the equator. It's festival season in Australia, which is why plenty of American groups have flown south for the winter.
Of course, the trip down under provides many opportunities for bands to get out and experience another culture or just enjoy nature. Paramore did a bit of both during their trip to the zoo, which they documented in photos at their official Web site. The photos (snapped by band photographer and director of the group's new video "The Only Exception" Brandon Chesbro) show the band members frolicking with various branches of wildlife, including a kangaroo, a koala and a white tiger. On her Twitter, singer Hayley Williams noted that the tiger's name was Mohan.
Paramore Get Help From Fans On New Video
Hayley Williams and Paramore recently leaned on their fans for help in the making of the video for their upcoming single, "The Only Exception." In one scene of the new video, Williams falls on a bed of handmade Valentine's Day cards as she searches for her true love. The cards were created and mailed in to the band after Williams and the group reached out to fans for help creating the scene.
The single and video continue to support Paramore's September 2009 release, Brand New Eyes. The offering, which also features the singles "Ignorance" and "Brick by Boring Brick," was certified gold in the U.S. in January.

Christina Aguilera is the biggest star on the set of Burlesque
It seems the measure of a Hollywood star can be judged by the size of their bodyguard. And they don't come much bigger than Christina Aguilera's new chief of security. The 29-year-old proved her A-list status as she walked around the Los Angeles set of her new film with her burly protector in tow. Fellow pop stars Beyoncé and Britney Spears are also known to employ enormous bodyguards, so at least she is in good company.
Christina was filming scenes for Burlesque, which sees her play a small-town girl called Ali who flees home for the bright lights of Los Angeles. After landing a job as a cocktail waitress in a burlesque club, she soon aspires to become one of the sexy dancers on stage.
She stars alongside Cher, who is making a return to film for the first time in over a decade playing the club owner.

Is Christina Aguilera already bored of new film Burlesque?
Caught out enjoying a big yawn as she stood on the Hollywood set, is this a sign that motherhood is taking its toll on the gorgeous girl or that she’s just not that into the film that will showcase her acting talents for the first time.
The 29-year-old perked up later on though when she was given a copy of the movie casting newspaper Backstage.

Let’s hope it's because she spotted a new role to audition for.

“I love the idea of burlesque and I have always been intrigued by it and inspired by it,” Christina said.
“How much better can it get than a whole movie about that world?”

GWEN Stefani hasn’t ruled out having another child.
The It’s My Life hitmaker — who raises Kingston, three, and one-year-old Zuma with husband Gavin Rossdale — says she’s keen to add to her brood in the future.
“It could happen,” said the No Doubt star. “But who knows. I kinda have a lot on my plate right now being a mom. My three-year-old is so naughty and I have the baby as well.” Gwen recently admitted she was a bag of nerves when she had to hit the runway in front of an audience during one of her L.A.M.B. fashion shows at New York Fashion Week.
“I do get nervous right before the girls go out, and I don’t like going out there myself,” she said.
“The catwalk is just a different place to the stage. I find it so much more scary. Everyone is there and can be critical about your work. I’m proud of my work but it’s a daunting place to be.”
