When Paris Hilton announced she was heading into the studio to record a CD, she was ready for the snickers. But some who have actually heard what she's working on with producer Robb Boldt say she should get ready for the applause.
"She's got her own style, she's got a vibe going, and it's pretty cool," said singer JC Chasez, who dropped in on one of Hilton's studio sessions recently.
"I would say it's better than some stuff out there. I'm proud of her for being brave enough to do it, because she knows she's going to stand under a microscope, and everybody's going to scrutinize the hell out of her."
Chasez was so impressed that he offered her some help. "I threw a couple of ideas on her lap -- just from the outside looking in," he said. "If I was in your shoes, you know, this is maybe something I would do, but I haven't physically, like, written out an entire song for her or anything like that, just because this is her record and she's actually going to be involved in a lot of it. That's why she is taking her time, and because she wants to be involved in every aspect. I applaud that."
