I wanted to hate Paris Hilton's 2006 debut single, "Stars Are Blind," along with the rest of you. But also along with the rest of you, I didn't. I actually loved it and downloaded it and listened to it many, many times. Loudly.

Now it looks like Paris' musical stylings will be shuffling their way back into our lives -- the heiress has reportedly been working on new tunes with LMFAO for her upcoming album. If the palpable friendship between Paris and RedFoo in this photo from Sundance is any indication of their studio time together (Oh hai, Kaskade), then these two probably churned out a top-notch club banger. Listen, I'm not comfortable with it, either.

We already knew Paris was tapping producer Afrojack for some club beats on new material when we heard her most recent demo, "Good Time" (which we also didn't hate). And given that LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" was on every Best Of 2011 list ever, we bet RedFoo has some secrets for getting their collabo with Paris' heard... 1,000,000 times over. We are both excited and ashamed to admit we will probably love the music headed our way. Sorry we're not sorry.

Stay tuned for Paris Hilton's new album, tentatively due out this summer.

Today, the most important thing in music ever has just happened: Paris Hilton's iconic 2006 debut single, "Stars Are Blind," has just been given the "Pop Up Video" treatment. WE ARE NOT WORTHY! Though the hotel heiress has gone on to release a few singles since then, it was Hilton's reggae-tinged lovey-dovey debut that first catapulted the singing socialite to musical superstardom, officially placing her on the same iconic plane as John Lennon and Bob Dylan. (Too far? OK then.)

So what do we learn in this installment? Well, the beachy-keen video, which was shot at Paradise Cove in Malibu and stars an actor that previously appeared in an Alanis Morrissette video, is a tribute to one of director Chris Appelbaum's favorite movies: "Blow-Up," the critically acclaimed 1966 British-Italian mystery film. And here you were thinking Miss Hilton wasn't high-brow. But don't worry, it's not all classic cinema talk up in here: This particular Pop Up's chock full of sassy lil' tidbits regarding Miss Hilton's love life and certain, um, other cinematic endeavors.

Plus, it wouldn't be a proper Paris production without discussing those pesky members of the paparazzi. They were rabid. So much so that the director tried using massive mirrors and smoke machines to keep them all away, which probably would have been more effective if Hilton didn't stop to take pictures and wave outside her trailer.

We'll admit it: We know every single world to Paris Hilton's 2006 hit "Stars Are Blind," and sort of didn't hate it as much as we were supposed to. We're not lobbying for it to win a Grammy or anything, but let's just say we're always open to checking out an heiress-sung pop song... or two.

Which brings us to Paris Hilton's latest foray into music, "Good Time" (segues!). The track comes to us via Dutch DJ/producer Afrojack. Though we were initially skeptical of Paris' desire to be the next "House Music Queen," the heiress has been seen around town with super-famous house music producers David Guetta and Deadmau5, so we have to believe something is up. Adding fuel to the fire, during his DJ set at the Sun City Music Festival in El Paso last week, Afrojack premiered this unfinished demo of his collabo with Paris. "It's so new, it's not even finished yet," Afrojack explained as he debuted the lo-fi recording. Though it's kind hard to make out, it sounds like Paris is singing, "Are you having a good time?/'Cause I'm having a good time/And I might be a bit tipsy/But that's okay 'cause you're with me." Yep, sounds like an extremely plausible theme for Paris Hilton.

In case you're still not convinced Paris is getting into house music, she tweeted about her recording experience with the DJ: "Good times with @DJAfrojack last night. Love Mallorca! So fun!" Fame must be so fun.

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for another round of Must-Hear Pop Songs!

This week's wrap-up celebrates the upcoming return of two underappreciated pop princesses, as well as singles by three equally promising new talents. I'm now accepting nominations for the Pulitzer Prize for Vaguery in Journalism, thank you.

Read on to hear all the sweet treats!

1.) Tinashe, "Artificial People"

As the former front of short-lived girl group The Stunners, 18-year-old cutie Tinashe has already been hard at work paving her way into the industry. (That is, when she's not busy jumping out of her car during traffic to dance to some Brit Brit.)

Now the young singer's busting out as a solo pop star in her own right, providing vocals on "Artificial People," a rowdy club banger produced by Orange Factory Music (OFM) -- the same hitmakers behind Jay Sean's "Down" and "2012 (feat. Nicki Minaj).

The sassy dance floor thumper finds Tinashe lashing out against some "synthesized" undesirables trying to take over: "We're living in Technicolor/Why you still in black and white?" But what does it sound like? Take the filthy beats of Afrojack's "Take Over Control (feat. Eva Simons)," add in a healthy handful of Dev's bossy taunts à la "Dancing In The Dark," and sprinkle on some "Oh, oh, oh!" chant-y bits from Britney's "Till The World Ends." Sounds like a smash hit smorgasbord, right? That's because it is. + LISTEN TO TINASHE, "ARTIFICIAL PEOPLE."

2.) Cassie, "Skydiver"

In case you're not up on your mixtapes, you might have missed P. Diddy's (P. Daddy's, Puff Dizzle's, P--ugh's, I don't know, Sean Combs') latest free release a few weeks ago: "Bad Boy: The Preview." It's an introduction to some of the label's up-and-coming acts, including one of my very favorites, icy electro-R&B princess Cassie.

The über-cool crooner behind 2006's baddest cuts, "Me & U" and "Long Way 2 Go," ("baddest" as in "goodest"), has been dealt a few bad hands over the past few years, including album push-backs and more than a bucketful of song leaks. Luckily, it seems Cassie's finally hit her stride. During the outro of his mixtape, Diddy announced that the songstress' official comeback single, "King of Hearts," will be out shortly.

Since only a small (but very good!) snippet of the song has been released so far, I've selected one of my favorite unreleased Cassie jams as a placeholder/reminder of her utter flawlessness: "Skydiver," a spine-tingling, smooth-grinding electro-R&B ode to that all-or-nothing kind of love. "My skydiver...I'll fall if you say fall," the singer croons on repeat above the dreamy Chris N Teeb-produced beat. Feel free to parachute down to safety as soon as possible, my Princess -- we need you now more than ever! + LISTEN TO CASSIE, "SKYDIVER."

Hey kids! Wanna know what's worthy of your attention span this week? We've got some for realz blasts from the past (and not necessarily in a glass) in our latest roundup of crap we found on the internet.

1.) Lady Gaga celebrated her 25th birthday with a call from Ellen and some mariachis while us Little Monsters celebrated with these amazing new photos from her "Born This Way" promo shoot. There's a shoe on her head! (Idolator)

2.) Richard Simmons, who one might call a "retro fitness guru," made what I first thought was an in-flight EXERCISE video, but disappointingly turned out to be the in-flight SAFETY video for a New Zealand airline. (Urlesque)

3.) This is what Wikipedia's "featured articles" look like printed out. I kinda thought it would be bigger. #THATSWHATSHESAID. (Spreading Jam)

4.) Rolling Stone has whittled down the number of acts in its "Choose the Cover" contest, and three of the seven acts I picked early on have advanced! I have rully good taste, you guys. Or maybe the opposite of that, depending. (Aol.)

5.) Paris Hilton interviewed Lil Wayne for Interview magazine, because, uh, they have PRISON in common or something. But it would've been way more meta and headtrippy if Paris Hilton interviewed Lil B because he has that song "I'm Paris Hilton." (Interview)

6.) We here at Buzzworthy are no strangers to Britney Spears photo galleries. So we're pumped to link you to this latest one, which asks the question, "How do you like your Britney served?" (Refinery29)

7.) Related on the Britney tip: You guys already know about Dubstep, from that time we told you about it and what it's doing on Britney's new album, Femme Fatale. Well, now you know how to dance to it. Thanks, Bill Cosby. (Vulture)

8.) The Zack Morris cell phone is legendary. Because it's the size of a microwave. (ZackMorrisCellPhone.com)

9.) Just like landing a good man, the key to becoming a really cool musical act is to be MYSTERIOUS. As in, hide your identity and be super reclusive and make weirdo videos that no one understands. This will at least secure you a sizable hipster following. Here are some good examples of that. (Flavorwire)

10.) Have you guys seen the hilarious "Sex Is No Accident" ads yet? They are totes OMFGWTFLOL. (AdFreak)

Hollywood is a weird little town. For a while, it seemed like Paris Hilton was leading the parade of "tanorexic" girls whose look -- bottle-blonde hair and fake tans -- dominated the style spotlight. But now, even with Snooki and the "Jersey Shore" girls -- dressed head to toe in Ed Hardy leisure suits and skin the color of mahogany furniture -- we've discovered several famous female celebrities may be morphing into a brand-new wonder-twin hybrid race.

Take singers Jennifer Lopez and Hilary Duff, for example. One is a Latina bombshell, with honey-colored skin that glimmers like her face was made out of, say, stars and fairy dust. The other is a Texas-bred, blonde beauty who's 18 years younger than Jennifer Lopez. Oddly, though, with her darker highlighted hair, Hilary Duff is virtually indistinguishable from "American Idol" judge J. Lo.

Of course, this is good news for both women, considering they're both total knockouts who appear to be creating their own race of ageless superwomen. We'll call them Jilary. Or Hennifer. Whatever, you get the idea. It's a new race! Science!

Celebrities seem to have only a few style options when dressing for the VMAs. They either go for the hilariously trashtacular look, as was the case with Pamela Anderson at the 1999 VMAs. Or Lil' Kim at almost every VMA she's attended. Or they wear the most unsubtle getup possible, like Rose McGowan's dress, which was backless as well as butt-less at the 1998 VMAs. Or, if you're Pete Wentz, you wear a monkey.

But with the return of the VMAs to Los Angeles, we can expect a return to form with old-fashioned retro Hollywood glamour. It's a fashionable fallback and a style choice that looks good on any and every star. Sequined gowns, mermaid dresses, slim-fitting suits, pinstripes, picture-perfect makeup, hair just so, everything camera-ready. It's an awards show, people. Step it up and dress it up!

So in honor of what we HOPE will be a return to old-Hollywood glamour on the VMA red carpet, we've put together a photo gallery of the VMA's most glamorous stars. Check out some of our favorite glamorous stars at the VMAs and vote for the star you think looked the most glamorous.

And check out some VMA red carpet standouts, like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera and more below.

Beyonce at the 2007 VMAs dressed like a golden Grecian goddess.

Katy Perry at the 2008 VMAs. in a patriotic World War II-era vintage romper.

Christina Aguilera at the 2006 VMAs, going majorly Marilyn in a stunning Bob Mackie-inspired Versace gown.

Rihanna at the 2007 VMAs in a hot pink Armani Privé mermaid gown that's totally vintage inspired.

Jay-Z at the 2005 VMAs, rocks the original gangster's gangster look in a pinstripe suit and white shirt and tie.

The Jonas Brothers at the 2008 VMAs, suited up like perfect gentlemen.

Don't miss the 2010 MTV VMAs live from Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 12, at 9/8c, hosted by Chelsea Handler.

Twitter is a great way to keep up with your friends, keep up with breaking news and keep your pun game tight. But it also has a downside, especially for celebs who insist on using it as a constantly updating, stream-of-consciousness look at the inner workings (or derailings) of their mind.

There really ought to be a squad of Twitter Cops who go can intercept celebs when they're about to make an ill-timed or ill-advised tweet, telling them in a cool, calm voice: "Back away from Twitter, put the BlackBerry down. It's gonna be alright."

So without further ado, here are 5 celebs who might want to think twice before hitting send on their next missive.

1.) Tameka "Tiny" Cottle: T.I.'s longtime girlfriend and now wife usually tweets pretty innocuous stuff, like, "On the plane headed 2 Vega$$$." But she might want to think twice about tweeting after she and her on-probation husband get busted on drug possession charges. Tiny! You got the right to remain silent! Exercise it!

2.) 50 Cent: Curtis' tweets have been super entertaining, if occasionally a little aggro. But last time I checked, a couple of bullet holes and a few platinum albums do not equal a law degree. So with that in mind, Fiddy, maybe don't advise Tiny to take the blame for her husband?

3.) Paris Hilton: The tweets may lie, but TMZ, in this case, does not. The other night, Paris Hilton was somehow in bed, watching "Family Guy." I say "somehow," because she was simultaneously being arrested for drug possession in Vegas. This could be a classic example of what happens when you have your assistants tweet for you but don't mention to them that you've been arrested. Paris has since used Twitter to proclaim her innocence.

4.) Chris Brown: Subtly throwing shots at his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna? Check. Getting into beef with Soulja Boy? Check. Ranting at music retailers? Check. Chris Brown and Twitter need couples therapy.

5.) Lindsay Lohan: Sadly, Lindsay's Twitter account might be a rather accurate representation of where she's at her in life, literally and figuratively. In the course of three tweets, a prerehab Lohan alerted people to a fashion website, thanked someone for assisting her in her fight against draconian child labor practices and took a shot at her father. She's been pretty mellow since getting out of rehab. Let's hope it stays that way (for her sake).

...And for the record, the celebrity who should NEVER take a Twitter break is Kanye West. Obvz.
