it's Official: The Paris Hilton as Pop Star gig is a flop. Sales of her CD are so bad that her record label is planning on halting any further international promotion as the CD is soon headed for the back of the store dollar bins, and Paris will be forced to go back to her old career of being a stupid, useless, self-absorbed, spoiled whore - just ask Google!
Check this one out - too funny! Paris Hilton isn't a whore
Anyhoo, according to PageSix: "Paris Hilton's career as a pop star is fizzling as quickly as one of her blink-and-you'll-miss-it relationships. In its first week out of the gate, Hilton's first CD is being widely seen as a certified flop. "Paris," which features the single "Stars Are Blind," sold a lackluster 75,000 copies in the United States - a pittance compared to Christina Aguilera's first-week sales of 320,000, according to Soundscan. And projected sales for next week are said to be a measly 30,000, which is a larger than normal second week drop.
"Paris" is languishing at the bottom of Billboard's Hot 100 - so Hilton's label rushed out her second single, "Turn It Up," which isn't doing very well either. "The international outlook is not much better for her," one industry source told Page Six. "The international people are not inclined to do a big push since she can't back up the album with a tour. Obviously, she can't sing live."
The source told Page Six that Hilton was advised a year ago to train her voice, work with choreographers and learn an instrument to prepare for a limited tour, but "obviously she didn't listen."
