    This is why I stay well away from radio and TV. Keeps me sane.

    So, a chick that has money and likes to do it makes a record...
    and people buy the record because it's not half bad...
    Where's the problem?

    From where I stand, the only way this could be better is if she called her album, "And Justice for Sluts."

    This just in, she covers the master, Rod Stewart, on his seven minute disco-sex fiasco, "Do ya think I'm Sexy?"

    I am buying this album. So what if the Emperor has no clothes, he's cut and hung.*

    *Edit: I was going to say "the empress has no clothes" and leave it at that. In retrospect, that's probably more what I meant. Whatever, naked dudes are funny. Penis in your face.

    The single is competent in a poppy way. It sounds exactly like anything else you'd' hear on the radio, in fact it sounds a lot like if Ashlee Simpson sang a Gwen Stefani cover (since it has a faux-reggae beat).

    It's not bad, but it sure isn't good. Sort of like Waterworld, you kind of wanted to see a huge turd for all the hype, but instead of something awesome or something horrible it's something exactly average, like the Emperor's 6" penis.

    I donno, I'd give Waterworld a three inch penis at best.

    I believe it was the Daily show that named Paris Hilton getting a top 20 single as one of the signs of the apocalypse back before 6/6 or something.

    So, the cynical me wants to ask: How many of her single would she personally have to buy to get it into the top 20? Are we talking lunch money (for her) or what?

    All that dick talk will not confound the fact that you just admitted intent to pay cash money for this album. I mean, I'm not surprised if it sells well - Paris has a slew of wanna-be fangirls and guys who appreciate a girl who knows her way around a penis (with her mouth), but...Flowers? Really?

    If I'm ever on trial for my life and I don't care how long I go to prison I'm so going to hire you.

    I first heard the single while cruising down a highway with my windows down on a balmy summer afternoon. I really wanted to hate it because of who's singing it. However, I really liked it. It does sound like a Stefani song and the hook is catchy. Thing is, this gal doesn't need any more money or celebrity. I'd like for her fifteen minutes to be up so she could get busy on launching her porn career.

    Still, it would be amusing to see her try to support her album with live performances:

    She dances better than I do, but that ain't saying much. :-)

    NSFW!!

    Kidding! (but when someone posts a Paris Hilton video you can never be sure). This was absolutely terrible. I was cringing.

    My wife wanted to watch the video for the 'train wreck factor' ... and we weren't disappointed. Besides being generic formula-pop with extremely limmited range, the vocals are intentionally pulled back and over-produced to hide the fact that she sings worse than Ashlee Simpson.

    The fact that people want to spend money for that just proves the 'more dollars than sense' adage ...

    Here is some insight;

    I have been wrestling all week with whether I like Bananarama, The Go-Go's or The Bangles the most. On Sunday afternoon at approximately 3:45, I decided I like Bananarama.

    I don't know about the other two, but I saw the Go-Go's live opening for the Police in the early 80's (Ghost in the Machine tour I think?) and they were pretty darn good.

    See, The Bangles have their cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter", The Go-Go's have the bassline to "Our Lips are Sealed," but Bananarama has 'I Heard a Rumor," aaaaand "Cruel Summer."

    Dude, "Robert DeNiro's Waiting" is easily the best Bananarama song.

    Bananarama played instruments?

    If not, then they're more of a group than a band.

    The local dance music store has the new Bananarama poster prominently displayed on its outside window. Every time I pass by I think, "the girls are looking really good."

    Karen Woodward and Sara Dallin look pretty nice too.
