I decided to try something different with the blog this week and do a wrap-up post for all the events that happened with Paramore, Rob and Kristen from April 8-14 (Sunday-Saturday). It's kind of like what some other fansites do, linking back to their own content, but I'm linking to content that I'm a fan of.
Not thatmuch happened this week, just Paramore's third biennial Parahoy 2018: Deep Search cruise, as well as Kristen Stewart's 28th birthday on April 9. Robert Pattinson also had a new Dior Homme campaign with Karl Lagerfeld. Here's the fifth installment of The Weekly Update:
Wake Up, Roseville!!! After almost two weeks of teasing on Instagram, Paramore have released the music video for their latest single, "Rose-Colored Boy" from their fifth album After Laughter.
Beyoncé and Kristen Stewart have so much in common, it's astounding. They're both fierce, strong, confident, vulnerable women in an industry that is constantly trying to push them down or diminish them. However, they always come back fighting! No, they are not in the same music video or anything like that. But this is even better: Kristen Stewart plays an angelic, beautiful spirit of Gabrielle Chanel, breaking free from the ashes of normal society, in this new fragrance ad. The song in the background is "Runnin' (Lose It All)" by Naughty Boy ft. Beyoncé and Arrow Benjamin, and it works so perfectly! See the press release and videos below, as well as paramorerklife.sosugary.org for photos.
Press Release
For CHANEL, 2017 will always remain the year of Gabrielle. In tribute to the creator, 2017 has witnessed the birth of a namesake bag and, coming in September, the launch of a fragrance called GABRIELLE CHANEL. To incarnate the new scent, the House chose one of its ambassadors and friends: American actress Kristen Stewart. Her strong and determined personality, her career studded with bold artistic choices, and the life she leads with full freedom, made her the perfect fit for the role.
Directed by Ringan Ledwidge, the promotional film for the new fragrance GABRIELLE CHANEL stars Kristen Stewart extricating herself from the confines of a cocoon and breaking into a liberating run. She gathers her speed so she can crash through a wall to freedom and the promise of a new dawn on the other side. With sparse decor, meticulous lighting, and the song Runnin' by Beyoncé, the film takes a bold new direction as it celebrates an extremely modern femininity built on confidence, determination, and independence.
"We deliberately took the opposite line from storytelling," explains Thomas du Pré de Saint-Maur, Head of Global Creative Resources for CHANEL Fragrance & Beauty and Fine Watches & Jewelry. "We wanted to highlight an emotion that could be grasped in mere seconds, to tell a sensation as opposed to a story. Referring to a specific person, and even more so to Gabrielle Chanel, is new for CHANEL. Instead of retracing her life, we chose to put the spotlight on her free and rebel-at-heart personality. In my view, this quality is more difficult to find and yet all the more necessary today. Being yourself and remaining true to yourself are qualities that Gabrielle Chanel passed on to us, and this universal message—as relevant as ever—is what we wish to send to women. With Kristen Stewart and this film that breaks away from a narrative to retain only its spirit, we want to touch all women, but also each individual woman, simultaneously. No one will experience it in the same way; it depends on one's perceptions, lived experiences, personality and emotions. With this film, we are going to reach out to each woman through all of womankind."
Fully steeped in the philosophy of the House of CHANEL and its founder, this promotional film speaks of a race towards freedom, an endless battle against the diktats that tend to capture and cage women in. It is the beating of a heart, an energy that streams forth and overcomes all obstacles. It is a metaphor of life, both timeless and topical, diffused through a solar and luminous fragrance synonymous with passion, style and freedom.
The new GABRIELLE CHANEL promotional film will hit screens on September 1, 2017.

What a rockin' surprise!! Rock god legends, the Rolling Stones, presented a new teaser for their "Ride 'Em on Down" music video, starring rock rebel Kristen Stewart. She's a huge fan of the Stones, so this is a huge shock for the rest of us.
The single comes off of the Stones' 23rd British and 25th American studio album, Blue and Lonesome, out December 2. It is the band's first album to feature only blues cover songs.

CHVRCHES and Hayley Williams are animated aliens in the "Bury It" video!!
After the lyric video took over Pmore and CHVRCHES fans, they will be torn to shreds over this new animated video for "Bury It"! They take over the city making vintage TVs, bikes, tires, cars and more objects fly across the sky. At one point, they become fireballs and fly all through the city! Just watch the video to see what the chatter is all about. It's so much fun!

Remember that original music video of Paramore's "Aint It Fun" back in August 2013? They scrapped it when they weren't happy with the final product, and then produced the second version we know and love. But here's a blast from the past from the original footage! Taken by Photographer Jory Lee Cordy, here are over 100 photos from that day. I hope we get some behind the scenes footage one day. As trippy as this video looked, I'm glad we have the version that won them a Grammy!!
What are your theories on this kooky music video? Leave comments below.
