Hayley Williams’ solo contribution to the soundtrack for Jennifer’s Body has led some outlets to engage in a bit of speculation over whether the Paramore singer would be embarking on a solo career anytime soon. But in a post to the band’s Livejournal, she’s pretty adamant over the fact that her solo track is a one-off, and that even though she admires her tourmate Gwen Stefani, she won’t be following in Stefani’s uncomfortably shod solo-career footsteps anytime soon:

Speaking of No Doubt… I really thought that we’d been getting less comparisons to them than normal… until this whole “Paramore Or Less” article came out. What a waste of paper and ink. Or hard drive space. Whichever. Guys, Paramore isn’t going anywhere. Just because I do some random thing for a movie doesn’t mean that I’m getting ready to hire some chicas to come dance behind me and start chanting “this shhh is bananas”. So, I don’t wanna see you guys worrying your heads about this… even though the media might want you to. It’s a story that sells, I’m sure. But YOU don’t be the ones to buy it.

Duly noted. Although if Williams did have a squad ready to chant “this shit is bananas” in unison at anyone speculating over her future plans, that would be a pretty effective tactic of quashing the rumors!
