UB40's record label, the Sparta Florida Music Group, are suing V2 Music Publishing, Warner Chappell Music, and Paris Hilton's songwriter/producer for $500,000 in damages in London's High Court.
The band claim that their classic song "Kingston Town" features heavily in Paris Hilton's debut single "Stars Are Blind" and are suing her for breaching copyright laws.
The Sparta Music Group are going to use information from the internet and a musicologist, to prove that "Stars Are Blind" used a large amount of the UB40 1990 single.
UB40's "Kingston Town," written by Kendrick Patrick, reached number four in U.K. charts, while "Stars Are Blind" released last year, reached number five.
As Paris Hilton has been dropped from her record label, Warner Bros., she isn't being sued directly. However, she is still in the wrong side of the law as she starts her 23-week sentence in Century Regional Detention Facility in Los Angeles today (June 4).

So, any guesses on what the prison album will be like?
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 8 June 2007 22:20 (nineteen years ago)
maybe something with lots of screaming, shouting and swearing?

seems to be the case. after all, someone has to protect the interests of 'black hole recordings'

Is Jezebel a high school senior project? When did 31 become an age when you're "desperately clinging to youth" by making pop music?

it's really strange how it's a feminist website that seems to devote 20% of its articles to insulting famous women. Guess it drives page views!

later on, she comes up to me, holds up her phone, screaming at me and i say
i'm sorry, it was just a drunk text

okay, so "drunk text" is pretty great
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 March 2012 19:11 (fourteen years ago)
i was hoping that at some point it would break into a song but the part at the end where she starts repeating "it was just a drunk text" is a pretty sly little hook
i just can't get enough
― surm, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 20:47 (fourteen years ago)
the first time she says it was just a drunk text is my favorite line in a song from the past like year

like, there are enough people out there who are better musicians and aren't reprehensible racist scumbags that you really don't need to pay attention to this worthless person
― Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 20:57 (fourteen years ago)
i haven't heard any of the songs from her debut but i think this is a pretty great use of her
it's not something that i'll listen to a lot cuz i do prefer, y'know, SONGS, but i was pretty happy about it

djp a) it's not her song, it's someone else's track that she did vocals for, and it was unreleased and when it leaked people just said it was a PH song
b) have you even heard it? It's not as awful as you'd think
