How to Succeed in Show Business
Oh noes!! You've gone and hurt Heidi Montag's feelings. It seems that when you said nasty things about the video for her new single "Higher" the reality star, of The Hills fame, cried herself to sleep. But don't worry, boyfriend/manager Spencer Pratt comforted her by saying, "This is just part of being an artist. If it were easy, everyone would be a pop star." Aww that's true! Even though they kind of tried to do it easily by making a video which they readily admit took 20 minutes to shoot and cost them zero dollars. Either way, I guess she'll be crying all the way to the bank, because "Higher" is number 7 on this week's iTunes pop charts. That many people want a freak show? Well then how come Paris Hilton's new, terrible movie The Hottie & the Nottie did so abysmally at the box office last weekend?
Oh, because rather than a click and a buck, that one required $10 and 90 irretrievable minutes of people's lives. Compare that with the success of Hilton's 2006 single "Stars Are Blind", which was a pretty big hit in the States and a certified smash in Europe, and I guess the lesson is that we want our pop trash fast, cheap, and easy. So Heidi, you and Spencer may want to halt production on that Barbarella remake or whatever it is you're planning. [US Weekly] Here are videos for Hilton's "Stars" and Montag's "Higher.' Pretty similar!
