Paramore Storm Orlando with Southern Hospitality


"I never thought we'd play a place this big," says Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams.

She's talking to the 10,000 people who sold out the UCF Arena in Orlando, Fla. Sunday night, as part of the Honda Civic Tour, also featuring the fantastic Tegan and Sara, Williams' boyfriend's band New Found Glory, and Kadawatha.

"We played The Social, Backbooth, and House of Blues many many times," Williams told the crowd, citing the smaller Orlando venues where Paramore paid their dues.

Williams also went as far to call the city the band's "second home" after hometown Franklin, Tennessee, noting that the band recorded their first album, All We Know is Falling, at Orlando's Plush Studios (formerly The Fort Studios).

To stay true to their roots, however, Paramore mixed classic riotous tunes ("Decode," "That's What You Get," "The Only Exception," "For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic," "Feeling Sorry") with a Nashville classic: Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)."

Heart Perform New Cuts at Intimate NYC Show


It's an eighties women in rock week in NYC!

First, Pat Benatar resurged in Times Square, then Blondie hit the town covering Taio Cruz, and finally, power rockers Heart emerged at Tribeca's P.C. Richard & Son Theater to celebrate the release of their new record, Red Velvet Car.

"This song is about calling someone out," frontwoman Ann Wilson said, of new track "WTF."

"We got the [hook] from an entry we read in our mom's journal after she passed away," guitarist Nancy Wilson explained, prefacing the powerful lyric: "The hardest thing you'll ever learn is what bridge to cross and what bridge to burn."

"She still has the last word from the grave!" Nancy laughed.

The ladies also played older cuts for the crowd, including "Barracuda" and "Dog & Butterfly," while getting nostalgic about their first time seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show at age 11 and knowing they wanted to play music.

"We wanted to be the Beatles," Ann recalled. "Not the Beatles' wives or girlfriends, but the Beatles."

"If we weren't siblings, I think we would have found each other and found a way to make music," Nancy said.

Check out Heart's fantastic performance of new jam "WTF," above.

Iman Named Designer of Mercedes-Benz Lounge at New York Fashion Week

World renowned supermodel Iman has found the perfect canvas to showcase her forthcoming home design line, IMAN Home: the VIP Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge at New York Fashion Week.

"Since I stopped modelling, got married and had a daughter, home has become a passion of mine," says Iman, who partnered with designer Carlos Mota on the project.

"The gods of the interior decoration must have been looking down on me, because all of a sudden, here was this great opportunity to create the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge," she adds.

IMAN Home aims to create an "elegant, affordable" aesthetic that "mixes exotic elements with a new degree of sophistication," according to a press release. Items showcased in the Star Lounge will include everything from fabrics to furniture.

We can't wait to see!
