Somewhere in Paris Hilton’s small, but grandiose, mind she sees herself as someone bigger than even Oprah herself, who, by the way, used to own a large share of Oxygen network before ABC bought it. The reason I bring that up is because Hilton is blaming the Oxygen network for fouling up the premiere episode ratings of her show ‘The World According to Paris.’
The heiress to the Hilton fortune is complaining loudly that Oxygen network botched her premiere by switching the time slot for her reality TV show. But in reality, no one was checking for that garbage no matter what time slot it was in.
An insider tells Popeater.com, “Paris is furious that the show didn’t premiere at the time it was supposed to. She worked her tail off doing promotion and publicity for the show and then because of a technical mistake, the show aired at a completely different time in a lot of markets.”<\em>
But a rep for the network denies that the time slot was switched at the last minute due to a technical mistake.
The show premiered at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1 as was promoted,” an Oxygen spokesperson told Popeater in a statement.
Hilton’s reality show drew poor ratings (below 400,000 viewers). By comparison, former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day’s reality series premiere drew 724,000 viewers. A TV insider tells Popeater that “If the numbers remain less then the 400,000 that tuned in last week she could get pulled off the air.”
They might as well go ahead and pull her off the air right now. The public is becoming more aware of the signs of narcissism (thanks to this blog and others). And nobody likes a narcissist.
