Paris Hilton: Stars Are Blind
[Paris]

5 (35) Paris Hilton – Stars Are Blind

And Hilton’s Bland, because her first single, with a backing track style ripped from UB40’s KingstonTown, is as dreadful and trite as they come. She’s a dull, attention-seeking trollop and, accordingto the video of her that ended up on the internet, she’s also a lousy lay.

Shakira: Hips Don’t Lie
[Oral Fixation Vol.2]

1 (3) Shakira – Hips Don’t Lie *3rd total Week at No.1*

Sales must be low at this time of year as this tired effort returned to thetop last week.
