Paramore has always had a cool-kids-next-door charm, and in this new interview with Elle.com, they show us that they're still the same Twilight-reading, punk-rock-loving, R&B-adoring regular Joes (and one Jane) that we know and love.

My favorite part of Paramore's chat with Elle.com covers their love of R&B and their roots as a funk cover band:

"Hayley: Yeah, we did Rufus and Chaka Khan, “Tell Me Something Good,” and a lot of Stevie Wonder, Michael McDonald, the Doobie Brothers. The intro to our show was always Average White Band’s “Pick Up the Pieces.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Paramore talk about being amped to see New Moon opening night (and Hayley's affection for Dakota Fanning). They also show that they keep their ears to the Nashville punk rock streets, big upping bands like Paper Route and  The Swellers.

You can catch Paramore (in something of a New Moon mode) in the below clip from the MTV special "Ulalume: Howling At New Moon" (which airs on Friday, October 30 at 9 PM ET). Until then, watch this brand-new clip of Paramore performing "Decode" live from the Ulalume Festival.

UPDATE: IT'S OFFICIALLY the official album cover art for Tokio Hotel's Humanoid album, due out October 2. And it's TOTALLY effing STEAM PUNK, Y'ALL!

Bill Kaulitz looks more android/ cyborgy/ Neuromancer-y than ever, but I fear his trademark head of hair has been replaced by Medusa-(meets-Metallica-like) cords, wires, and vacuum cleaner tubes.

And not to pat myself on the back either... although that's exactly what I'm gonna do -- but I was TOTALLY ON THE MONEY with the Tokio Hotel Humanoid cover art predictions I made back in July. Tokio Hotel is getting more sci-fi (Sy Fy?) than ever. It's steam punk meets Battlestar Galactica. And it's scary and intense. Hopefully Bill won't re-damage his vocal cords since they're exposed and you can see straight through to his vertebrae and everything. Though Tom, Gustav, and Georg ARE in Tokio Hotel too. Where are they? And what does Bill Kaulitz see what that magic blue eye?

+ What do YOU think about Tokio Hotel's new Humanoid album cover?

The twins HAVE EMERGED! Repeat: WE HAVE THE KAULITZ TWINS! The Tokio twins are alive and well and hanging out in Berlin, taking in a comedy show by Oliver Pocher. Bill's Sonic the Hedgehog hair has been replaced by more Tom-like twinsie black-and-white dreads, and his usually kohl-covered eyes have been replaced by a rust-colored eyeshadow. Mrow!

Check out tons more photos at iloveradio.de (especially helpful: functional knowledge of German) and the always-reliable Tokio Hotel America for a translation. (Thanks, guys!) And - JA! Tokio Hotel's planning a South American tour!

Anyway, my take on BK's new look: I love the shiny, sleek, slick look of Bill's new hair, and the new makeup colors he's experimenting with. It's a little less shocking (not that you guys are really shocked) and little more sophisticated. (Now HURRY UP AND FINISH UP THAT NEW ALBUM, DUDES!)

More importantly, your thoughts, bitte?

+ Plus: DANCE, TOKIO HOTEL, DANCE, und give Bill a makeover!

Okay, so remember how last Friday I was running around the 65th floor of a SECRET New York location where the Jonas Brothers were filming something for MTV involving their movie and TONS of popcorn? Well, that PLACE was the famed Rainbow Room (I can tell you now, and you can go there, but alas, no Jonases! Wah!), and that SOMETHING was The Jonas Brothers Experience, which airs Monday, February 23 at 6pm ET on MTV (uh, duh). You'll have to tune in (duh again) to see which set of Jonas Brothers BFFs won the best prize in the history of prizes (triple duhr!) -- a trip to the Hollywood premiere of Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience. (Faints x3, once for Kevin, once for Nick, and once for Joe.)

Check out my Twitter recap (I cut and pasted the highlights below!), and exclusive photos from the event. And, oh yeah, I totally talked to the guys backstage! They completely remembered me from the two days I spent with them shooting "Jonas Brothers: Live & Mobile" this past awesome August, and they unsolicitedly hugged me, and I got all dorky nervous (hence my dorky nervous smile in the photo below). I wanted to be like "Hey what's up?" But, like what are they gonna say "Oh, you know. We were on the Grammys. Saturday Night Live. Major motion picture. Soundtrack. World tour coming up. Not much otherwise. You?" Me: "I got some new sneakers the other day and I cleaned the toilet and rented House Bunny." No. I'd die of mortification! So I mumbled something about how amazing their Grammys performance was and Stevie Wonder and blah blah and then it was time for them to start the show. So, here's what happened in Twitterville and in photos!

+ At the mtv jonas shoot high above the city. The view's gorgeous, and the room is FULL of popcorn. Popcorn everywhere. All over the floor! 11:02 AM Feb 13th from TwitterBerry

+ Watch some special sneak-peek video previews of the show, and pre-game with an old-school collection of Jonas Brothers MTV photos!

Perhaps I should've attempted to adjust my TV, but aside from that T.I., M.I.A., Jay-Z, Wayne hip-hop all-stars performance and Coldplay's ongoing Fisher-Price-meets-Sgt. Pepper troop trope (yaaaaaaaawwwwwwnnn... and I DID NOT need to see that much of Chris Martin's treasure trail!) the 2009 Grammys might as well have been broadcast in black and white.

From the Jonas Brothers, to Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift and even Kid Rock (who usually doesn't leave the house unless it's in something that demonstrates his affinity for a BeDazzler and a pound or two of rhinestones) kept it a funereal black and white, though they all pulled it off with elegant panache. In short, aside from the few mod metallics, and Katy Perry, the 2009 Grammys were all about sobering, somber chic! For real, I thought I was going temporarily colorblind.

Anyway, let's get to it!

Jonas Brothers: True, the Jonas Brothers didn't win the Grammy they were up for, but getting to share a stage with Stevie Wonder was prize enough, IMO. Fashion-wise, their red carpet tuxedo trio was pretty much what you'd expect from the capable hands of stylist Michelle Tomaszewski. My favorite was Nick Jonas' head-to-toe black Burberry suit. Kevin Jonas' Versace suit subtly set him apart as the elder statesmen of the three. Joe's metallic Versace jacket was a little too Vegasy for my tastes, but I always appreciate that he takes fashion risks. Also, BTW, did you see Denise? WOAH, mama, she looked amazing! As for the Jonas Brothers' performance looks: Nick was in Dior, and I LOVED that his look was a little bit Danny Zucko in Grease, less the schmaltz, a little bit James Dean, a tiny bit old-school Faith-era George Michael, and a WHOLE LOT grown up. Honestly, Joe's performance look wasn't doing THAT much for me. Don't get me wrong -- he looked perfect as always, but Nick really stood out so much that he overshadowed Joe, who could've gone a little farther than just the ripped Requel Allegra tee and Dior vest and jeans. By the way, that eye-popping necklace was by Swiss designer Avakian, and while I'm sure it was stunning in person, it distracted on screen (Was it a cassette tape? A jeweled cracker? Bingo card? Billion-dollar iPod? No clue!) and took away from his Mick Jagger swagger. It would've made more sense for Joe to wear a fitted jacket, especially with Kevin all like "Oh hai, I'm just over here nailing this performance and coming out with a 3D movie and a TV show and we're gonna be on Saturday Night Live and everything" in a swish Versace suit. But back to the Jonas Brothers' performance: Not just ANYBODY gets to cover "Superstition," and this performance completely put the Jonas Brothers on the map... for the two people whose maps the Jonas Brothers weren't already on. Seriously though, that performance was icon-status-sealing and could finalize their move out of the teen-pop mold; it showed skeptics that the Jonas Brothers aren't just bubblegum, they can (for the trilllionth time!) play their own instruments, command a stage, and extend their reach beyond a youth-only audience.

Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift: Miley wore an original Herve Leger by Max Azria dress on the red carpet. Had it been just plain black, it would've been a bit boring, but the bejeweled bodice, criss-cross straps and stacks of bangles kept it fresh, and the massive rosette kept it from being "just another black dress," and though the length was a little overwhelming, the shape was amazingly flattering. Taylor Swift drove home the "we're besties" message in a Kaufman Franco black jersey dress with patent leather detailing. Gotta say: both dresses were way too long. Take a cue from Carrie Underwood and show a little leg while they're still amazing! You can't fault Miley or Taylor for appearing adult while playing the good role model role, but I wouldn't have minded either dress in a more youthful color, like a jewel tone. Also, I can't say I loved either's performance outfit, Miley's especially. Jeans at the Grammys? I know it's not the Oscars, but it's not the CMAs either. (Sorry, CMT!) That top looked like Liza Minnelli's cast-off. Bring back the cute!

Katy Perry: I liked that Katy Perry was strictly business on the red carpet -- her pink dress was by Lebanese designer Basil Soda -- and party on stage, where she chose to wear every color ever in her salute to Carmen Miranda. Her costume was by The Blonds, and her "I Kissed a Girl" performance made me feel like I was trapped inside a pachinko machine. And I kinda liked it.

Jennifer Hudson: Okay, I just need to say it: That white asymmetrical bib on Jennifer Hudon's color-blocked sculptural RM by Roland Mouret Trenet dress made her look like she had an emergency pre-Grammy root canal and forgot to take off the bib. However, I loved her midnight blue shoes. Also, Jennifer Hudson can do whatever she wants because she had the worst year ever and her talent knows know bounds. The black sequined dress she wore during her performance of "You Pulled Me Through" was stellar stuff, and the flamenco-style hair and earrings were really all she needed to complete the portrait-of-the-young-woman-as-a-pure-powerhouse look.

Sara Bareilles: Speaking of pink, Sara Bareilles was totally pretty in pink in her Louisa Beccaria strapless ruffled dress with matching (but not too matchy-matchy!) accents. I wanna write her a love song and thank her for wearing something so sugary sweet.

Audrina Patridge: Audrina usually looks sexy or hot or amazing but "cute" is not usually the first word that comes to mind. But last night, Audrina looked absolutely adorable in teal Tadashi. Her hair and bright lips were also perfection. Yay, color! Finally!

M.I.A.: We get it. You and your boyfriend got bored and decided to act out Juno. But were you hitting the labor drugs early? You do NOT need to dress like a bloated ladybug. Don't get me wrong -- I love House of Holland (who designed her black-and-white performance outfit). I just love Agyness Deyn in it more. And I'm fine with you wearing Golas when you're playing human hotel. But did you really need to go the Dorothy Zbornak route? I'm still not convinced you weren't hiding all FOUR Golden Girls underneath that Manish Arora tarp.

Jordin Sparks: You are SO SO SO cute and SO not an old lady. But that rose-printed Debra Davenport dress was SO not cute and SO old lady!

Carrie Underwood: That performance pantsuit was a little June Carter Cash with those OOC chiffon bell sleeves, but who cares? She's got legs for miles! And was it just me, or did her female guitarist look like Paris Hilton? Speaking of...

Paris Hilton: Yes, Paris. Less is still less. Please send that Versace Spring 2003 mini back to 2003 where it should stay.

LeAnn Rimes: i'm a huge fan of stone embellishments, but LeAnn's cerulean Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti outfit looked like Star Trek Voyager made its maiden voyage to Cyprus. And taupe? Really? You don't wear taupe on a red carpet unless you're going to the pantyhose awards. Or you're Leona Lewis. And speaking of...

Leona Lewis: Leona is such a gorgeous girl, but her tan Randi Rahm gown bleeding bored me.

Duffy: I've read some negatory reactions toward Duffy's Alberta Ferretti jeweled chiffon cocktail dress, but I really loved that she took an ordinary style and made it her own with an asymmetrical cut. It was super glam but subdued and fit her soulful, old-school style perfectly.

Kanye West: Mazel tov! Your transformation into '80s television star Meshach Taylor is now complete!

Estelle: Call us when Kanye's spaceship lands.

Hot Topic's new Tokio Hotel logo shirt's cool and all, but I got in touch with Matthew at the Names Brand -- he's the guy responsible for those Barack and Jonas Brothers tees -- and he whipped up a couple different styles of Tokio Hotel Names Brand tees. The Tokio Hotel t-shirt above is the cranberry glitter version, it's just $25, and it's the most grosses kino thing I've seen all day!

As you can see, the guys' names are listed as "Bill & Tom & Georg & Gustav," so if you don't like the order, you'll just have to deal, okay? Deal.

+ Plus: Watch Tokio Hotel perform "Monsoon" live from their 2008 TRL performance, from back in the days when Bill still had his Stevie Wonder hair!

+ The "We Are One" all-star concert at the Lincoln Memorial yesterday afternoon kicked off a week of Inaugural celebrations. Beyonce, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Usher, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, will.i.am, and others were on hand to say YES WE CAN. (MTV News)

+ As we reported, Beyonce will be singing a super secret song at the Inaugural Ball tomorrow night when President and Michelle Obama take the dance floor. Only Beyonce isn't so good at keeping secrets. (Pssst: it's "At Last" by Etta James). (D-Listed)

+ Dear Miley Cyrus (and Emily Osment!): We are officially BEYOND psyched for your new Hannah Montana movie. LYLAS, Buzzworthy. (Disney Society)

+ A naked pic of Madonna from 1979 is up for auction, and let's just say that the J. Sisters could use this puppy as a killer "before" shot if they were so inclined. (Gawker)

+ Speaking of Madge, she's not really stressin' this whole recession sitch too much: She was just named the #1 Top 10 earner of 2008. Other richie riches rounding out the list include the Jonas Brothers (never heard of 'em. You?) and Coldplay. (LA Times)

+ Lady Gaga brings new meaning to the term "fit to be tied." And also "absolutely insane hair bow." (The Superficial)

+ For your consideration: example #1,456 that some people's Jonas Brothers love/ OJD goes a leetle too far: undies snatchin'. (Websters Is My B****)

Awww! Remember when she didn't even know what tuna is? (NYDN)

Tokio Hotel is up for a Bravo Otto Award in Deutschland! First, if you're NOT a TH fan, you're probably all, WTF's a Bravo Award? No, it's not the same as the network that beams The Real Housewives of Orange County and Top Chef into your home. This Bravo is a German teen magazine that's been around for over 50 years (it originally featured Elvis on the cover, to give you an idea how old it is), and it's spun off into a variety of pop-culture mags, a TV show, and the Bravo Awards, which Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Mariah Carey, and David Hasselhoff have all received.

Tokio Hotel performed at the "50 Jahre Bravo" show ("50 Years of Bravo") in October 2006 and received  Otto awards in 2006, 2007, and 2008. And Tokio Hotel was recently nominated for a 2009 Otto for Best Superband, next to a host of other bands, including Jonas Brothers, Pussycat Dolls (a Tokio Hotel fave!), and Fall Out Boy. Not too shabby, right?

Acknowledging that Best Superband is a superlatively AWESOME category, one far more interesting than, say, Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media, and one that an American awards show REALLY needs to adopt (you listening, VMAs peoples?) -- tell me this: Which award, real or otherwise -- should Tokio Hotel should be nominated for next?

+ Plus: TokioHotelWorldFans.com posted some amazing TH photos shot by Christopher Haering. Check 'em out if you haven't seen them yet. And: Bill Kaulitz's new hair -- inspired by Stevie Wonder?

You already know that the new year means new hair for Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz! And I know some of you miss the lion's mane/ Sonic the Hedgehog 'do, but first of all, it's probably not so ocean-friendly. Plus, embrace the change!

So, one of the best things about Bill's new twin power dreads is that from afar, they look like pony beads!! And I am WHOLLY CONVINCED (in my mind, where I do all of my best convincing) that Bill is feeling on that Stevie Wonder circa 1980 tip and has been listening to Hotter Than July on repeat.

Now go listen to "Master Blaster" until your mind melts out of your ears, and check out this pretty/odd pairing of Stevie and George Michael from all the way back in the dark ages of 1997.

Have you ever tried to explain Seinfeld to someone who's never seen it before? It's like trying to summarize War and Peace in 50 words or less. In other words, theoretically doable, but generally more trouble than it's worth. (You know, like scrubbing your toilet or going down a dress-size.)

And speaking of things that are both highly relatable and damn near impossible to explain, allow us to present Danger Radio. The six-man punk/rock/jazz/funk group (whose influences include Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder) just released a new album, Used and Abused. And rather than ruining it by describing it as a genre-bending mashup between Rob Thomas' "This Is How A Heart Breaks," Panic! at the Disco's "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies," and Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal," we're just gonna let the music speak for itself.

So get to know the guys from DR by learning five things about their new album, plus see what they're all about by watching their jivey, punk-rocky "Slow Dance" video. Like Kramer's hair (and Elaine's dancing), words just can't describe it.
