50 Cent is now denying that he recently requested that Paris Hilton "get the fuck off the stage" while he was performing, making Paris tear up on her very own birthday. Oh great, the first thing 50 Cent has done in years that's actually earned him some widespread affection, and it turns out to not be true. [MTV]

Liner Notes: By Now, Everyone's Gone Back To Bedlam With James Blunt

Blogsmacked: The Mars Volta's 8-Bit Guitars

Paris' DUI Arrest: Blame It On, Like, Working

The post-Paris period for Paris Hilton keeps getting rougher. After suffering the indignities of having 500 copies of her album doctored and being turned into a zoological specimen by a record reviewer, she was arrested for drunk driving early this morning in Los Angeles. According to her PR representative, the true culprit behind Paris' .08 blood alcohol level was the work behind flogging the second single from her album; she'd spent the whole day deprived of sleep and food, in the heat, shooting a music video. Thankfully, TMZ captured some of this exploitation on tape — honestly, after saying "Nice dog" ten times in a row, who wouldn't want a cocktail or four? More »

Chronicle Critic Reaches 'Shit Sandwich' Heights

We'd like to give a hat tip to the San Francisco Chronicle's Aidin Vaziri, who has perhaps written the meanest, yet most apt, review of the Paris Hilton album that will grace any publication this year — and he didn't even have to employ the phrase "That's hot" once. More »

Paris Hilton's Album Finally Considered A Work Of Art

After a long weekend, trying to figure out the motivations behind street artist Banksy's reworking of the Paris Hilton album — including a 40-minute remix CD, a collage of Paris' body and a dog's head, a sticker touting the single "Why Am I Famous?," and a few fake-topless shots — bends the brain. Is it a statement against celebrity, an attempt to ride celebrity's coattails into the headlines, or a label-engineered ploy to sucker the UK crop of Paris-loathers into picking up a copy of "Paris" their local HMVs? Whatever the case, there's one clear winner in the whole affair: this guy, who bought two copies and is now selling one on eBay. Current bid: 250 pounds. More »

How Many Listeners Has Paris Hilton Infected?

As loathe as we are to believe anything we read in Page Six (who, by the way, forced the Boss to go online and deny his pun-providing rumors of infidelity), we can't ignore their claim that Paris Hilton's long-delayed Paris—the Chinese Democracy for people who don't know how to locate China—scanned somewhere around 75,000 copies in its first week. Considering that Hilton's public-exposure level is just below that of Hassan Nasrallah's, this is a total disaster, right? More »
