Poor little rich girl...

I'm talking about Paris Hilton, of course. Tell me, did any of you even know she had released her debut album over the summer? Neither did anyone else in the US where it sold a dismal 75,000 units its first week of release. Other problems have beset the heiress turned music artist:

There will be no tour to support the album. Why? Because Paris Hilton cannot sing live. This is readily admitted by her publicist. Maybe if the tour included her singing in a shower she would sound better?

A mysterious artist calling himself "Bansky" has defaced the CD inner artwork at several UK stores, superimposing a dog's head on Paris' body. CD in the UK are typically sold without shrink wrap or the security seals madeningly common here in the US. The discs inside were then switched with a 40-min remixed CD by a DJ calling himself "DM". Rumor is that the culprit is Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley fame). As you may have guessed, only the doctored CD are valuable.

Ms Hilton was charged for DUI in Los Angeles. The heiress claimed it was due to one drink after a day of not eating anything. Meanwhile, while discussing the incident on an LA radio station she admitted to having been eating and drinking around town all day.

Guess money can't buy everything, huh?

She should be smacked upside the head. Paris is a symbol of how much we've gotten off the track. I believe it was Entertainment Weekly that gave her album a decent review. I might wanna think about renewing my subscription in December. How far they go with the drunk driving charge will be interesting.
