Paris Hilton hasn’t been in the news in a while, has she? What has she been up to, anyway? Working on a new album. Hilton has reportedly signed on with Cash Money Records and is currently working on a new album of house music. Supposedly, it will be release this summer. The socialite broke the news to Showbiz411 at a party in Cannes, where she is supporting Sophia Coppola’s film The Bling Ring, a film about a group of young adults who robbed a Hilton hotel (part of the film was even filmed at Hilton’s home). Anyway, the house music album will see Hilton alongside Drake and Nicki Minaj, with Dutch house producer Afrojack involved in some capacity (the two were once rumored to be dating, but he’s now with DJ Bambi). “This is a lot different than my first album,” Paris said. “It’s really going to be house music.” Hilton’s new album is a pretty late follow-up to her freshman effort. She first released Paris on Heiress records in 2006, an album, which made the top ten on the Billboard albums chart, but earned mixed reviews. More recently, Hilton collaborated on a track with Lil Wayne and starred in a Rich Gang music video. Interestingly, she even has a bit of experience with house music. Hilton has performed a few DJ gigs and is reportedly doing a residency in Ibiza this summer. Though she has earned plenty of criticism from others in the music industry for her attempts at song writing and producing, Cash Money seems to think she has something with this new house music album. What do you think? Should Paris Hilton give up on music and go back to … wait, what does she do again?

Paris Hilton Signs with Cash Money Records via Rickey.org Paris Hilton is giving her career in music another go, everyone! She’s shooting to release her sophomore album this summer. According to The Huffington Post, Hilton has signed with Lil Wayne’s Cash Money Records and is currently working on an album of house music, departing from the pop path. Hilton has recently journeyed across the globe spinning as a DJ while working on her new tunes. The tracks are said to be produced by Afrojack. Mention of Drake and Nicki Minaj have lead many to deduce that she is indeed signed to Young Money Records under the umbrella of Cash Money. Hilton’s first album, Paris, sold approximately 600,000 copies. I have to say, I caught Paris Hilton in a televised interview a few days ago, and the girl does work hard. She might have somewhat stepped away from the limelight, but she’s running a billion dollar fragrance line and has opened nearly fifty Paris Hilton stores across the world. On top of that, she’s in the process of opening her first hotel and making music. Her first album was a very solid pop effort. You can check out a single from Paris, “Nothing In This World,” below!

Cash Money Records boss Birdman is showing doubters he has no limits by adding one-time pop singer and renowned reality star Paris Hilton join his growing roster.

Resident Evil: Revelations was released on May 20 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and PC after previously being on the 3DS. Here’s what the critics thought of it. Resident Evil is simultaneously the most successful zombie game series and video game film series, and that’s no combination to sneeze at. Though technically after Resident Evil 3, Capcom said it wasn’t about zombies any more. Resident Evil: Revelations is mostly about bringing back everything you liked about the earlier games and combining it with that of the later titles. This game features the story of Jill Valentine before she vanished in Resident Evil 5, bringing back the claustrophobic corridors and misdirection the early games were known for. It slows down the gameplay from the action-heavy direction the series was taking and brings back the backtracking from the maze-like mansions, putting it all on a cruise ship. Resident Evil: Revelations keeps the general inventory system from RE5 and 6, and yet it works better here. Everything is instantly assigned to a button to eliminate the need for micromanagement in the heat of battle, and you can only carry so much ammo. Resident Evil: Revelations is basically the 3DS game brought to bigger consoles with an HD treatment, and yes, it may be one of those games that make the Wii U worth owning. The game plays in short bursts, making it perfect for gaming on the go, or if you’re the type who can’t play for hours straight. If you have a family, you don’t have a lot of time to play video games, making the perforated gameplay of Resident Evil: Revelations quite a plus. The story in Resident Evil: Revelations doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it’s entertaining with its over-the-top dialogue, absurd political conspiracy theories, and flashbacks to moments that rarely feel more than tacked on. There is still the noticeable lack of enemy variety and NPC allies whose aim is on par with a stormtrooper from Star Wars, but if you can look past the minor issues, the game is still fun.
