For a change of pace, I watched a "behind the scenes" clip of the heiress in the studio working on "Nothing In This World" with producer Dr. Luke, who shows not a hint of irony when he comments on her involvement in the creative process:
"Paris did all the vocals on this song, a lot of people don't realize actually that a lot of times in songs, the artist's doesn't sing the background part and stuff like that, a lot of really big artists. I was determined to make sure she did everything, and she was a trooper and did it."
Neat, maybe we can give her a ringpop or something.
Paris also talks about her taste in music which she describes as "eclectic," which fooled at least one commenter on her site into bold proclamations regarding her intelligence.
"Not only can she sing, but she has a good vocab too! 'Eclectic mix' - she's no dumb blonde! She's just wildly crazy:P (in a good way)."
Set the bar low, I say.
And just for fun, I watched a playful clip of Paris visiting a Toyko pet store, where she manhandled multiple puppies, rolled around on the floor, and cooed about how "cute" and "small" they were, which would be appropriate it she were six, but as a 25-year-old makes her seem a tad simple.
Paris' album is rather alarmingly catchy and well-produced. We are all guaranteed to hear more of it, as "Stars Are Blind" has acheived the following Billboard chart numbers: #8 Hot Dance Airplay,#1 Hot Dance Club Play,#10 Hot Digital Songs 10, #14 Pop 100,#18 Billboard Hot 100.
Not bad for someone half the western world hates, but apparently the other half loves or at least actively tolerates.
Hilton seems driven by a potent mix of self-entitlement, delusion, and easy wealth to conquer all forms of entertainment. Fortunately for Paris, she is acutely unaware of her limitations, that she has no barriers to face or obstacles to overcome - the world is her oyster to purchase. YouTube and ShoZu are smart enough to tag along for the ride.

Honestly if you would wake up and think, Dawn, instead of mindlessly repeating what a million others have said better...most multimedia "talent" is pretty untalented, from Rosie O'Donald, to Howard Stern, to Snopp Dogg to the Osbournes....as a matter of fact they make Paris look pretty good....especially for someone who doesn't have to do anything...

I mindlessly repeat nothing. My insight in singularly zeroed in like a laser on my target and I capture my subjects with random precision and have yet to wear out my welcome thank you very much Spectator.

I like "black hole negative energy" but I'm more of a fan of "vortex of suckitude."

Both are equally applicable Matt.

Which is more mindless the commentator of the mindless or the mindless commentator on the mindless commentator on the mindless?
Ouch, I think I broke something.
Great stuff again, Dawn.

Yet another example of shameless pussy envy.

Dawn, when you talked about viral promotion, I thought you were going to talk about how a fine bunch of hackers had managed to add viruses to the productions of this less than tasty bid of mind candy...
Now, I'm disappointed.
Sniff, sniff...
