Charlotte Church surely doesn’t think Paris Hilton is anything extraordinary or worth being paid $665,000 for. The Welsh singer has stopped Paris from being on her new television show after the wannabe model and hotel heiress demanded $665,000 for her appearance.
Charlotte, whose debut TV show begins this Friday on Britain’s Channel 4, said Paris wanted the “obscene” amount to be interviewed.
She told Britain’s Radio 1, “We asked Paris to be on the show. I thought it would be funny to make fun out of her because she’s such an airhead but she wanted a ridiculous amount of money. Having her on would have cost us the price of a big house – ?350,000. It’s pathetic. It’s not as if she would say anything earth changing.”
Charlotte also revealed that she would be singing the theme song to the show every week, and that one of the verses will be changed every week to make it fresh.
Despite looking forward to the start of her television show, the singer admits it has been hard work.
“It’s not just a chat show. There will be a band on every show as well as a comedian and there will be comedy sketches too,” she said.
“I’m really looking forward to doing it. I thought it would be nice to have a break from singing, but I never realized how much hard work it would be. When you’re recording you have to spend so much time doing promotional work it can be really tiring so I thought this would be easier. But I was so wrong. I’ve been working like a donkey.”
