Paris
Hilton Dropped by Label
6/3/07
Prison-bound socialite Paris Hilton has been dropped by her record
label after lackluster sales of debut pop album Paris failed to impress
music execs.
The 26-year-old, who is heading to jail next week (begs04Jun07) for a
23-day stint after violating her probation following a 2006 drink-driving
arrest, is said to be devastated over the decision.
The company is thought to be disappointed after investing $250,000
(#125,000) in a video for single Stars Are Blind - which reached number 18
in the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100 charts - and a world promotional tour that brought in
less that half a million record sales.
Hilton's second single Nothing In This World barely registered on the
charts, reaching number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Charts and the LP
vanished after a brief appearance at number six in the Billboard album
charts after selling 77,000 copies.
A representative for Warner Brothers said, "We are not expecting
any new Paris Hilton material in the foreseeable future."
