Celebrity Scandals and the Tabloid Culture of the 2000s

Hit Girls author Nora Princiotti returns to Pop Pantheon to discuss two infamous celebrities turned fleeting pop divas of the early 2000s, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Nora and Louie discuss Lindsay’s Radio Disney hits, like “Ultimate You” and her TRL moment with “Rumors” and 2004’s pop rock Speak. Then, they work through Paris’ 2006 light reggae bop “Stars Are Blind” and her album from that same year, Paris. Finally, they unpack Lindsay’s commercial decline on her final album, 2005's A Little More Personal (Raw), Paris’ DJ career and both starlets’ recent attempts at re-establishing themselves as pop stars, before ranking both Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton in the Official Pop Pantheon.
