NEW YORK — Paris Hilton is no stranger to self-promotion. But when she asked DJs to play songs from her upcoming debut album, Paris, last spring, she wasn't so confident.
"People go crazy," the 25-year-old socialite/reality TV star/singer says in an interview in the September issue of Blender, on newsstands Tuesday. "They love it. Everyone's like, 'Who is this?' I don't tell. Because I don't want someone putting their phone up and recording it and making a ring tone off of it.
"I think when people don't know it's me, they won't judge it. But if they know it's me, then they'll be like, 'Ugh.' They won't even dance."
Paris the album was set for release Tuesday. Hilton's breathy, reggae-infused single, Stars Are Blind, has climbed to the top of Billboard's dance music chart.
Of her album, she says, "I, like, cry, when I listen to it, it's so good."
Hilton posed for Blender's cover and inside pages wearing lingerie; in one photo, she wears a pink bra, black fishnet stockings and gold platform heels.
She says the baby voice she uses on the reality TV show The Simple Life is an act.
"I'm always playing a character," she tells the magazine. "I don't talk like this really — like a baby. I don't act like myself in public, because I don't really want to show everyone the real me. Because I have no privacy whatsoever, the only thing I have is who I really am."
"I, like, laugh, when I think of Paris Hiilton." -Rex
God, it's a good thing this kid is loaded. Otherwise, she'd be sweeping streets with a broom.
I'd cry too, albeit for a different reason.
Like, fer sher, totally.
Nah. She'd find some doctor or lawyer to serve as a sugar daddy.
"I, like, cry, when I listen to it..."
I'm sure she won't be the only one. Why is it celebrities seem to think because the news picked up on their name, that they must be talented across the board?
Oh, she's be out on the streets, but doing something else for a living there.
I haven't heard the CD yet, so I wont pass judgement on her voice or the quality of the music. She like, sounds like a total, like, idiot though.
Beat me by 40 seconds.
Oh, I don't know. I'm no fan, but she's not just resting on daddy's bucks. She's making her own money. Perhaps it's shrewd business skills that caused her to notice, "Hey, Britney, guess what! Americans are suckers!"
Britney already knew that, of course.
Shalom.
With that said, I do have to ask who is dumber? Paris or the people who pay her to show up at parties. For example, The Austrians payed her $1 million to show up at a party.
When asked if she likes Austria, she replied that she loves Austria. Then she was asked what she loves about Austria. "They pay me $1 million dollars to wave at them!"
Who's really dumber? Poor Austria!
I would cry too, if I had to listen to her voice...
Paris Hilton's existence is the one reason for destroying the West that with which I could sympathize with Al Qaeda.
I was going up an escalator behind 3 young girls and the one must have said "like" at least 20 times in 4 sentences total.
Good point.
So would my dog.
Because a fawning media will kiss their @sses to get interviews to sell their magazines/papers/TV/radio. The media will ask them questions about subjects they have no clue on to (a) get a scoop, or better yet (b) get a scoop with a celeb saying something totally asinine. The celeb then gets to think that everyone wants to know what they think about everything...until the next new pretty face comes along.
