The PR-machine known as Paris Hilton just released the reggae influenced single “Stars are Blind”. It remains to be seen if it will fly off the shelves as fast as her X-rated home video. Another reality TV star skilled in the art of PR who just released a single is newly divorced Jessica Simpson. The single is called “A Public Affair” and sounds like early Madonna pop. For good or bad, expect to hear more from these ladies in the future.
