Record label drops Paris Hilton

Only two days before Paris Hilton was to report to serve her 23 day sentence for violation of probation, Hilton’s record label dropped her. A Warner Brothers representative said, "We are not expecting any new Paris Hilton material in the foreseeable future."

The 26-year-old is said to be devastated over Warner Brother’s decision to drop her. The hotel heiress’ debut album was released last year and did not see good sales or reviews. After Warner Brothers invested $250,000 in a video for her single, "Stars are Blind" and a promotional tour, they were said to be disappointed because it brought in less than half a million record sales.

Hilton released her second single "Nothing In This World" which barely landed on the charts, reached only to 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Charts, and only sold 77,000 copies.

"As with global warming and the handgun crisis, future generations will judge us harshly for not preventing Paris Hilton's music career while there was still time," Rob Sheffield, a Rolling Stones critic, said.
