      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><EM>&#8220;This is the most important record since Pet Sounds.&#8221; - Hamed Karzai</EM></p>

<p><a id='f3633' class='f3633' href='/affiliate/C3633'>Kennedy</a> is running for President. Like the current Bush administration, Kennedy is on a mission to make the world a sexier place. He is a lightning bolt of freedom into the pants of millions of Americans. In a land of musical midgets Kennedy&#8217;s looms over the music business like Godzilla, knocking the other candidates on their asses.</p>

<p>Like Jimi Hendrix, but whiter and with stronger LSD, Kennedy&#8217;s musical genius took the UK by storm and is now conquering the rest of the world (Canada included). Kennedy is a cornerstone of the new UK music movement called DirtyPop. Led by British Garage pioneer DJ Sticky and producers Count Da Money, DirtyPop is hot, sexy, danceable and fertile. Kennedy is their poster boy, spokesmodel, and resident alien.</p>

<p>Kennedy&#8217;s music video for &#8220;Your Mama&#8221; is more than election propaganda; it is an internet sensation, cultural benchmark and pop phenomenon. After being viewed over 1 million times in it&#8217;s first week on YouTube and over 3 million times and counting, it makes the <A id="f3440" class="f3440" href="/affiliate/C3440">Paris Hilton</A> sex video look like Cop Rock. It is a wondrous disco rollercoaster ride through a mystical land of MILF&#8217;s, Cougars, and disgruntled children. Some accolades include being featured on YouTube&#8217;s home page (on Mother&#8217;s Day no less), named one of iFilm&#8217;s viral videos of the year, and winning Fuse&#8217;s Oven Fresh competition, beating out the likes of Justin Timberlake, Fergie, Outkast and more.</p>

<p>Born Jack Kennedy to a father named John Wayne, Kennedy is a true American. Clawing his way out of the pop culture abyss Kennedy is songwriter, M.C., rock star, gigolo and future Commander in Briefs. Equal parts raconteur and provocateur, Kennedy is the consummate showman: a bit of PT Barnum, a dash of Woody Allen, a spoonful of <A id="f851" class="f851" href="/affiliate/C851">Mark Mothersbaugh</A> and a heaping helping of Dirk Diggler.</p>

<p>Long before Kennedy was a Presidential candidate, he spent his formative years in Hollywood working as a tape op at the legendary Cherokee studios. Here he learned the art of recording by working with acts like Mack 10, Taj Mahal, Nik Venet, Brandy, The Lemonheads and various Death Row Recording artists.</p>

<p>After being kicked out of L.A.'s Silversun Pickups for setting the singer's sweater on fire, Kennedy was selected to open for Jon Brion at Caf&#233; Largo in Los Angeles. The name-dropping doesn't end there. Kennedy has also become a favorite among LA's hipster illuminati, sharing the stage with <A id="f1331" class="f1331" href="/affiliate/C1331">Fiona Apple</A>, David Cross, Elliot Smith, Sarah Silverman, Diamond Nights, Aimee Mann, Tenacious D, <A id="f3324" class="f3324" href="/affiliate/C3324">The Black Keys</A>, and many other somewhat talented artists.</p>

<p>In 2007 Kennedy signed a lucrative contract with Cordless Recordings, a Warner Music Group company. Kennedy&#8217;s new album &#8220;Kennedy For President&#8221; is the soundtrack to Kennedy&#8217;s political platform as well as the slow ballin&#8217; album of the year. In a sign of cross-Atlantic political unity, the album will be released by Cordless Recordings in the US and Atlantic Records in the UK. Being christened &#8220;The most important album since Pet Sounds,&#8221; this record is an attention whore. Get out yer cash and pay the slut.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><A id="f3440" class="f3440" href="/affiliate/C3440">Paris Hilton</A> is a woman who needs no introduction. Likely the biggest media phenomenon of the first decade of the 21st Century, the heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune may be best known for her socialite whirl, caught in the lenses of countless paparazzi cameras, and as the star of the hit Fox reality TV series <em>A Simple Life</em>.</p>

<p>But behind the hubbub, she&#8217;s also a model, actress, author and entrepreneur with a growing chain of nightclubs (Club Paris), and lines of handbags, jewelry, watches and fragrances, with a fashion collection on the way. And yes, she&#8217;s a singer, songwriter and recording artist who, in spite of the skepticism her celebrity may provoke, made waves in the marketplace with her debut album, Paris, on her Warner Bros.-distributed label Heiress Records.</p>

<p><em>Billboard</em> called the disc &#8220;an enjoyable pop romp,&#8221; while All Music Guide praised Paris as &#8220;a very good pop album.&#8221; Collaborating with producers like top hit-maker Scott Storch, Fernando Garibay and a host of others, Hilton co-wrote five of its 11 tracks. The first single, &#8220;Stars Are Blind,&#8221; hit the Top 20, and &#8220;Turn It Up&#8221; went No. 1 on the <em>Billboard</em> Hot Dance Club Play. When <em>Paris</em> was released, it debuted at No. 6 on the <em>Billboard</em> album chart, and the album&#8217;s worldwide sales have surpassed half a million copies.</p>

<p>And the music world hasn&#8217;t heard the last from the 25-year-old blonde. Work on another album is reportedly already underway, and Hilton says she plans to sign artists to her Heiress label. Known for her trademark saying, &#8220;That&#8217;s hot,&#8221; Paris Hilton will no doubt be adding her heat to the popular music scene for some time to come.</p>
