What is it with 'celebrity turning into pop singers' that I can't stand? As a songwriter, I try so hard to sit on the fence with material that's been 'put out' by Hollywood stars - even if the songs ARE good.
Paris Hilton has just released her debut album and it hit the stores on August 22nd. Critics haven't been so kind and it's no wonder why. Seems like it's a necessity to endorse every single track with a hip producer or a 'sound' that's working for the moment. To me, this is NOT the mark of a true artist. Paris Hilton may disagree, but with all the hype surrounding her, it really is hard to take her seriously.
Here an article on the subject.

Hilton's debut CD a lesson in blandness
What else can you say when you're asking a critic to assess the debut by ultimate celebutante Paris Hilton? (Paris hits store shelves today.)
Colleagues will doubtless take the opportunity to shoot apples in a barrel and savage this album -- which has yielded one cross-Canada number- one hit with Stars Are Blind so far -- because they feel obligated to differentiate an act that sells itself with sex appeal and fame over, um, all the others. Truthfully, there is little to no difference between Hilton and many acts on the charts.
Don't believe it?
Then go ahead and dump on her for hiring some name brand hip-hop producers to craft catchy beats behind her infantile sex-obsessed lyrical teases (Nelly Furtado, Gwen Stefani, Madonna).
Perhaps you take exception with her hiring top notch songwriters to co-write (Avril Lavigne, Cheyenne Kimball, Kelly Clarkson, Beyonce).
