It's the Paris Hilton video! (No, not THAT one, sickos)

Categories: Paris Hilton

14362__paris_l 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.

I love Paris. She is so hot. I love her voice and her song. I love her tv show and she is like the hottest star in hollywood..Jessica Simpson is fugly.

melody Mon, Jun 19, 2006 at 03:20 PM EST

okay, what the hell was that? the song was completely boring and her voice.....eeks!! she is a jessica simpson look alike in the video but nowhere near as hot as jessica. she should really go back to making sex videos.

PARIS IS AWESome!!!

josh Thu, Jun 15, 2006 at 04:24 PM EST

i think paris is hot!!!! but too slutty for me.

Silly Billy Wed, Jun 14, 2006 at 09:45 PM EST

all of yall are jelous of her...and she doesnt care what yall think.while yall are commenting on her meanwhile she is shopping or getting a massage not giving a rats ass about yall.every singer as had and ok song or an ok video but they have never been judged so harshly. just because its paris everyone freaks out.GET OVER SHES HOT AND SUCCESSFUL AND THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!yall know the song is not bad and how many videos are there where some girl is not humping something...i mean really!if you dont like her so much why did you want to watch the video.but yall just keep judging her and getting mad at EVERYTHING she does and shell still rise above (being rich beautiful and fun)and yall can just sit your lame asses down and write bad stuff about her!!! sound SOOOOOO FUN!!!BITCHESSS

Lynny Tue, Jun 13, 2006 at 12:36 PM EST

I am sad to say, I don't hate it. It is sort of catchy, but the voice quality is very thin. Oh well, at least she DID SOMETHING instead of shop all day.

Scott Mon, Jun 12, 2006 at 08:11 AM EST

Ok, so the video seemed a little too Chris Isaac-ish. The song is ok. I give Paris props for being in tune and at least getting off of her duff and doing something.

Personally speaking though, at this point, somebody needs to grab the mop and bucket and clean up the spillover from Paris's Ego overflowing and falling to the floor.

And on the tracks of American Idol, i'm pretty sure she would have been kicked off. As far as American Pop is concerned though, she's gonna be around for a while. Might as well get the cleanup crews ready.

Beefey Sun, Jun 11, 2006 at 06:18 PM EST

I watched the whole thing just to see if it got any better... It didnt... what a waste.... it didnt really have a plot either... then again, it's Paris, it's all about her isnt it.

Martin Tibbitts Sun, Jun 11, 2006 at 11:06 AM EST

How annoying. The solution is to pay attention to something with substance rather than simply fluff.

These days what is half way decent is better than most of what we hear and Paris'song is that. It doesn't say much about our times though. We have the technology to produce something really creative and this is what we get.
I notice all of these people who claim to be tired of hearing about Ms Hilton but will take the time to comment about that. Yes, strange times indeed!

melissa Sat, Jun 10, 2006 at 10:24 PM EST

If anyone else sounded that bad they would never get a record deal. This crab seriously sucks. You want to see someone with talent check out www.myspace.com/blackflameshadow

Nik Fri, Jun 9, 2006 at 08:53 AM EST

Is anyone else sick of freaking Paris Hilton like I am? Shouldn't she be getting tired of herself soon? When I wonder how many more years we will have to put up with her it makes me sad.

FC Fri, Jun 9, 2006 at 12:33 AM EST

Booooooo..even if I did like Paris (which I don't) I still think the video sucked and so did the song. Why must be forced daily to see her ugly horse nosed face with her scraggly limp faux blonde hair and a body of an AIDS victim? Someone please stop her!! I think I will go insane if I see or hear anything from her again!

Ginger Fri, Jun 9, 2006 at 12:28 AM EST

Well....that's about 4 minutes of my life I'll never get back...if I suck helium out of a balloon and sing, hump a tree, and roll around in the sand, can I get famous? Whatever, Paris Hilton is simply a waste of good life.

S.C. Thu, Jun 8, 2006 at 10:38 PM EST

The song isn't bad but this has to be the worst video I've ever seen (and I'm including the early days when they just had the performer on a stage singing). The two of them just literally jerk around like spasmodic monkeys suffering from ADD.

jade Thu, Jun 8, 2006 at 06:51 PM EST

Ok, where to start?? First of all, I can sing in a high-pitched voice and hump a tree, I just don't have the "namesake" to get discovered and produced. Paris Hilton, Pop-idol songstress? I think not people. She should go back to the simple life of sex tapes....and leave the tree out of it!

Toni Thu, Jun 8, 2006 at 01:50 PM EST

I think my computer just caught an std!
Video - Boring
Song - OK
Won't be going in my ipod, that's for sure.

PORKCHOP Thu, Jun 8, 2006 at 01:46 PM EST

PARIS HILTON IS A SKINNY KNOCK KNEED HO WHO'S SHOES A RE ALWAYS TOO SMALL

Karaoke God Thu, Jun 8, 2006 at 01:13 PM EST

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.

Tyre Thu, Jun 8, 2006 at 10:20 AM EST

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.

afalloutemos Thu, Jun 8, 2006 at 08:41 AM EST

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.

ash Thu, Jun 8, 2006 at 12:24 AM EST

the only thing that this hilton will be remembered for is the s.t.d. that is named after her.

Brit Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 11:44 PM EST

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)

Brit Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 11:38 PM EST

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.

She-Ra Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 08:54 PM EST

Paris has herpes.

What kind of shots are required before watching this video? I'm afraid of contracting something. My computer wants to remain virus free.

JC Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 03:49 PM EST

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.

chelsey Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 03:16 PM EST

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.

Ray Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 02:33 PM EST

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!

Jenet Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 12:23 PM EST

Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset!

That's all that needs to be said.

TsuKata Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 12:19 PM EST

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. :)

maxpurr9 Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 12:06 PM EST

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....

Tyler D Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 11:49 AM EST

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.

Jay Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 11:05 AM EST

Oh Please...Paris is trash wrapped in a bow. Sorry Girl...Just Grow up already, you're almost 30.

Cliff Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 11:05 AM EST

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.

jon Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 11:04 AM EST

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...

Ron B Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 10:19 AM EST

I don't care what Paris Hilton does. she can do NO wrong as far as I am concerned. U go girl.........Rotten Ron

johnathan Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 08:48 AM EST

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.

GOB Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 08:42 AM EST

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.

Stephanie Travitsky Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 08:29 AM EST

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.

Crystal Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 08:23 AM EST

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.

nessa Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 08:23 AM EST

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.

Gwen Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 08:14 AM EST

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?

FunkDoC Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 07:24 AM EST

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!

Seriously Wed, Jun 7, 2006 at 07:03 AM EST

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.
