Paris Hilton should buy Annie

Like the lady herself, we're not under any illusion that Paris Hilton has any great desire to be a pop star. However, if she fancied giving it another crack, she could do worse than buying Annie. Not the ginger one with the dog, the Norwegian singer who had a moderately unsuccessful hit single called 'Chewing Gum' a few years back.

Similar to Paris Hilton, Annie isn't the world's greatest singer and is a blonde. However, unlike Paris Hilton, Annie is an superb songwriter and has a stack of amazing new songs that look unlikely to ever see the light of day. Her second album 'Don't Stop' has been delayed again and is now due for a release in January 2009. Yeah right.

The album is almost entirely brilliant but is heading for a dusty shelf in a record executive's office. Which is why it is time for someone with a bank balance like Paris to sweep in and pay Annie to give all the songs to her instead. At the moment a rescue package (credit crunch reference - go us!) like a Hilton helpline seems like the only way Annie's amazing songs will ever see the light of day. We are sure Paris Hilton would love the chance to 'do a Madonna' with 'Songs Remind Me Of You' and would quite enjoy copying Girls Aloud rather-strongly with 'My Love Is Better'.

The point we are trying to make here (somewhere) is that A. The Annie album is too good to be put on a shelf and forgotten and B. Paris Hilton should splash some of her cash sweeping up brilliant British pop producers to make her new album, instead of whichever amateur had a crack at producing her shocking 'My New BFF' single.

So to recap:

Annie album good.
Paris needs new producers.

We need a bit more sleep perhaps.
