In case anyone forgot, Paris Hilton (still) has a singing career. None of the songs are good, but she could have had first dibs on “Don’t Cha” by The Pussycat Dolls.

Paris later said she only heard a very early version of it and commented that if she’d heard it in the final form, she would “have jumped at the chance” to record it. If you snooze, you lose.

The King of Pop let a major hit single go to another pop king, and the story just gets weirder after that.
