A belated Happy Devil Day, blogniks. Satan left a special gift for you at PopWatch HQ last night. That’s right: It’s Paris Hilton’s music video for "Stars Are Blind."
Last time talk turned to Paris and the Burning she has induced, many of you wondered why I would waste your time with the cynically manufactured play-project of a wealthy, spoiled, party-hopping bobblehead when there are perfectly deserving bands. To these people I say: I merely am the tool of Satan. I like my 401(k). You got problems? Take them up with the Dark Lord of Tartarus.
So… the video. It looks, um, it looks, well, it looks like she went to the beach, accompanied by an underwear model bred in a tank specifically for this occasion. Luckily, someone had a camera (someone always seems to have a camera when Paris is involved) and a music video broke out. I feel sorriest for that tree she’s gyrating with. (Guess Fabio Jr. can’t dance as well he… tans.) The way Paris is molesting it, I think the tree has a strong case. Or, rather, it will have a strong case… of something, unless it downs some amoxicillin, stat. Ha! Didja see what I did there? Didja… uh… Hoooooooooooooooooooo boy.
Final thought: If anything, she’s achieved the impossible: The video is even less sexy than her sex tape.

Terribly boring video.
The song is AWESOME though (and I say this without any irony), in a Gwen Stefani-at-the-beach kind of way.
I will have to disagree. I thought it would be garbage, but I actually like the song and would watch Paris Hilton gyrate against ANYTHING. Hardly boring!
Has anyone noticed this video is almost a shot by shot rip-off of Madonna’s “cherish?” Shocking that Paris wouldn’t be original, huh?
I totally thought of the “Cherish” video merged with a cheesy version of the “Wicked Game” video in a completely non sexy way.
This is the first time I have heard the song and (sorry Gwen) but it does sound likethe original Hollaback Girl – but without the style, toughness, class or self respect.
Good call Gwen on the Madonna look alike…I also had another flashback- to a certain model and rock star on a beach shot in black and white, each intimately sharing moments with each other, though, let’s be honest, Paris’ video is like a cold shower compared to Chris Issac’s “Wicked Games”. But, unfortuantely, I can totally see this song catching on this summer because of the camp factor.
I can’t believe that men find her attractive. She looks like a duck.
And quit with the Leonard Cohen (“First we take Manhattan”), Madonna, and Chis Isaaks concept. It’s been done, overdone, and burnt. However Chris’es was a lot more tastier.
The director is clearly channeling (read: ripping off) Herb Ritts. The music is surprisingly not terrible… much more catchy (and in tune) than that awful, awful new Rihanna ballad. Paris’ range may be limited to a handful of notes, but at least she knows her limits.
hahaha, oh the tree. that’s perfect. also, the song is much, much better than this video. her lip synching isn’t even lined up with the music right.
I don’t care what Paris Hilton does. she can do NO wrong as far as I am concerned. U go girl………Rotten Ron
There is something about watching the Paris Hilton video and listening to the song (which I now officially love btw) that feels OK compared to enduring the nonsense that is Ashlee Simpson and I think I’ve figured out what it is. The fact that Ms. Paris Hilton has an album and video solely because of the fact that she is rich and a Hilton makes the whole thing SO ridiculous that it kinda becomes funny and subversive in a way. My friends and I now think its cool to listen to her on the radio (we’re not paying for the song, are you crazy), while making fun of her and doing all of her manufactured poses and air kisses. It doesn’t hurt that the song is pure cotton candy either… I’ll take Paris over Jessica’s wicked little sister anyday…
Eh. It’s not terrible, even though I would LOVE for it it be terrible. She sounds about midway between Jewel and Britney. Seriously boring video though. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone since the start of MTV be so awkwardly unsexy on camera, including early Jessica Simpson. Weird, porn stars are usually good at faking that sort of thing.
Oh Please…Paris is trash wrapped in a bow. Sorry Girl…Just Grow up already, you’re almost 30.
Glad people are noticing the re-hashed concepts of the video. “Cherish” meets “Wicked Game” is a pretty good way to describe it, as is the whole “Blondie” meets “Gwen Stefani” description of the song itself. Of course, the song isn’t nearly half as bad as the video.
it wasn’t horrible, but it started to make me feel ill half way through and i just had to turn it off; and the thought of watching it again, brings up that same sick in the pit of my stomach….
Not only is the video pretty blah (and a rip-off of Madonna as others have noted), but the male actor looks like he could really give a rat’s arse less about Paris…awesome.
Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset!
That’s all that needs to be said.
I liked the song, but the video is a total rip-off. The black and white sequences are copied from Chris Isaac’s “Wicked Games” and the color sequences are an exact replica of Britney Spears’ video “Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know.” Only Paris Hilton could be deemed capable of copying Britney!
I think she is a good singer but i dont like the video that much i didnt think she was going to be a good singer.i like the song its ok.and shes not lip synching.
Chelsey, sweetheart… did your mommy drop you when you were little? I ask in response to your comment: “shes not lip synching”. Ummm, its a music video dear. They’re typically not live recordings. So, in fact, YES she is lip synching. Oh, and you’re a tool.
What kind of shots are required before watching this video? I’m afraid of contracting something. My computer wants to remain virus free.
I hed sex oonce-a veet Perees Heeltun, boot I deedn’t knoo it. I’ll leefe-a it tu yuoo tu feegoore-a thet oooot. Bork Bork Bork!
Jay, “almost 30″?! She’s like, 25. That’s like, mid-20s!

Paris has herpes.
http://www.thesuperficial.com/2006/03/09/paris_hilton_probably_has_herp.html
Earlier today, I accidentally clicked a link that directed me to the offical artist’s page for Paris Hilton on MTV’s website. I must say, I think it was the first time I was actually offended by Paris Hilton. If she’s an artist, Janet Reno should be a candidate for FHM’s sexiest woman.
The song is horrible. It sounds like someone took Blondie’s “The Tide is High,” Boy Meets Girl’s “Waiting for a Star,” and that oscure Beach Boys song from Troop Beverly Hills and threw it all into a blender. sorry paris, but all the money in the world is not gonna buy you talent or likeability.
i was never a fan of hers, but i don’t think i can tolerate her anymore now that it’s been confirmed that she actually takes herself serioulsy. basically, it’s impossible to take ANYONE seriously who regards paris hilton seriously. especially if that person is paris herself.
Oh and another note to add, do we know where this beach is? cause if it’s remote, i say we gather Ashlee, Lindsay, and Paris, put them in a little boat and ship them out there. Hilary Duff and the Olsen twins are on probation.
i’m probably more addicted to trashy celebrity gossip than anyone i know. no, i’m not proud of it, but i like to look at the rags as comic books for the older generation. hah. but serioulsy, even i don’t care about the junk reported on those girls anymore. include the whole heather locklear/denise richards thing. if either of them have contributed to any successful projects in the past 5 years, that’s one thing, but the last movie i saw denise in was undercover brother and the last time i saw heather was when i watched a rerun of melrose on the soap network last week (i don’t believe she’s worth watching anywhere else)
the only thing that this hilton will be remembered for is the s.t.d. that is named after her.
Someone said it looked like an extended Calvin Klein commercial… and I agree. She has an average voice and no spectacular acting skills. Every time I see the video, I doubt her credibility as an artist. To me, she’s just a rich socialite trying to make her own money because she can’t live off her father forever… or maybe she should. I’d rather watch Britney Spears because at least she was entertaining.
I think the saddest thing is that the only way she knows how to express who she is is through her warped idea of sexuality. I’ve yet to see anything other than her scantily clad, posing suggestively. And this video only gives her a venue to do that for another 4 minutes. I keep hoping another face other than vapid plasticity comes out, but I doubt there is another face.
To actually want to see a trashy Paris would have been good. If she did something to make fun of the sex tape and all her random crazyness, it would have been great. But it is the most boring video in the history of music video.
PARIS HILTON IS A SKINNY KNOCK KNEED HO WHO’S SHOES A RE ALWAYS TOO SMALL
