American Idol season 1 runner up Justin Guarini is a very desperate man. The has-been has recently posted a crappy song on his YouTube account with the accompanying message in the hopes of getting his tune on the soundtrack to ‘New Moon’, the second film in the ‘Twilight’ franchise. Justin wrote “Here’s a new song that I, along with two of Nashville’s finest writers- Shaye Smith and Tammy Hyler- put together expressly for the soundtrack of “New Moon”. If you like it, share it, and ask for it to be put in the new Twilight movie.” The song sucks and his desperate call for help matches the whiney sound of his voice on the song. Spare us.

‘Twilight’ actresses Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed introduced Paramore at the rock band’s ‘Lost Show’ which was held at the Hollywood and Highland Hot Topic in Los Angeles recently. Joining the actresses in rocking out with the band’s vocalist and admitted ‘Twilight’ fan Hayley Williams were fellow cast members Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone and Taylor Lautner. What, no Robert Pattinson? Following the live performance, the actors and band members held a little Q&A and autograph session for their fans. I loved Paramore’s song on the soundtrack of the movie. The darker sound fits well with them. I hope they continue to go that way with their next singles.
