Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton is arguably the most infamous pop culture figure of the early 2000s. And while it seems difficult to say for certain why Paris Hilton is famous, it's not inaccurate to say that she's famous for just about everything--music included. The air-headed heiress/actress/model/hell-raiser released her self-titled debut album in 2006, and while it didn't break the bank in terms of record sales, the slick club-friendly disc had an undeniable catchiness to it. At the very least, it was considerably better than what anyone would have guessed, thus helping to keep the Paris Hilton phenomenon chugging along with seemingly unstoppable power.
