The new British singing sensation Lily Allen has slammed Paris Hilton's new album and said anyone who buys it should be killed.

Allen is upset that Hilton's record company even bothered to ask her to sing and cannot fathom what they have to gain from it.

Contactmusic.com quoted her as saying: "Five years ago Paris Hilton's album would have done really well over here (in Britain), because we didn't have things like the Internet; we didn't have bands like myself or the Arctic Monkeys.

"Now people can see (Paris) for what she is, and think, 'Go away! What makes you think you have a life?'

Paris Hilton's album did really badly over here and I just think it's so boring and pathetic and it shouldn't happen. People cheesy enough to buy albums like that should be killed."
