Next Kim credits her fans for always giving her "that much needed pick me up".

Video Premiere: Paramore's 'Brick by Boring Brick'

Paramore take fans to the fantasy world in the 'Brick by Boring Brick' music video directed by Meiert Avis.

Paramore's "Brick by Boring Brick" music video has been debuted in full. Directed by Meiert Avis, it follows a little girl as she is wandering in the fairy tale world. "Josh [Farro] and I are on the outside, in the real world, and you'll see he's a gravedigger. And I'm more like the storyteller. I'm narrating what's going on," frontwoman Hayley Williams said of the concept to MTV.

"Brick by Boring Brick" comes from Paramore's third studio installment "Brand New Eyes". On what the song is all about, Hayley said, "[It] is about not accepting reality and understanding that you don't have to make everything frilly or pretty-sounding for it to be interesting. Life doesn't have to be some grand production, and some of the boring parts of being alive are actually the greatest. The song is about breaking down those walls and finding out that the centre of it is what really matters."

Recently, Paramore have been nominated as one of the contenders for Favorite Rock Band at 2010 People's Choice Awards. They are facing off DAUGHTRY, Green Day, Kings of Leon and Muse.

"There's no better way to kick off the holiday season than with this timeless tradition. And we're extremely proud to once again air this historic event."

The parade will go on air starting 9 A.M. until noon in all time zones. There will be balloons of Pillsbury Doughboy, Ronald McDonald, Spider-Man and Sailor Mickey Mouse.


Ben Stiller's 'Greenberg' Welcomes First Trailer

While housesitting for his younger brother in Los Angeles, Ben Stiller sparks with his sibling's assistant in the drama comedy film.

Focus Features has released the first trailer for drama comedy "Greenberg" starring Ben Stiller. Making its way out via Apple, the snippet gives a preview to the life of a jobless guy, who experiences the lack of wanting to move on later in life.

Stiller's Roger Greenberg is at a crossroads in his life as he is out of a job and not too interested in finding one. To get a free place to stay in Los Angeles, he agrees to housesit for his younger and more successful brother while figuring out his life. Later, Greenberg sets out to reconnect with his old friend and former bandmate Ivan.

However, times have changed and old friends aren't necessarily still best friends. So, Greenberg finds himself spending more and more time instead with his brother's personal assistant Florence, an aspiring singer and herself something of a lost soul. As their relationship develops through a series of embarrassingly awkward romantic encounters, even someone as irascible as Greenberg might have at last found a reason to be happy.

Joining Ben Stiller in the cast ensemble are Greta Gerwig as Florence, and Rhys Ifans as Ivan. Noah Baumbach serves as both director and writer for the movie, while Scott Rudin produces the film. The movie will hit limited theaters in the U.S. on March 12, 2010.


Kim Kardashian Shares Her Thanksgiving Tradition

"Every Thanksgiving, I spend it in New Orleans with Reggie [Bush], and then I cook," says the reality TV star.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Kim Kardashian is more than ready to welcome the day, sharing with OK! Magazine her routines on the yearly celebration. "Every Thanksgiving, I spend it in New Orleans with Reggie [Bush], and then I cook," she revealed during the eBay Holiday Store opening held in N.Y.C. this week.

Besides, Kim usually has a pre-holiday dinner with her family, in preparation of which she recently went to the grocery store to pick up a pumpkin pie and turkey for a feast at her mother Kris Jenner's house. "I don't cook the turkey, so my mom was doing that," she stated. "Every kid has a different responsibility of what they have to go get my mom if she's going to cook, so she doesn't have to do all the legwork."

On the same occasion, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star also shared with OK! Magazine some shopping tips in anticipation of the much awaited Black Friday, which comes a day after Thanksgiving. She said that in addition to selling her stuff on eBay, she usually buys things on it. "I started off buying - not always selling - and I realized if everyone else is selling this great stuff, why can't I?" she enthused. "It's so many great items, so many things I want to get rid of." A percentage of the proceeds received from the selling of Kim's goodies will be used to benefit the Dream Foundation.
