Lily Allen has publicly decried Paris Hilton, claiming her music career is a fad.

The singer finds it hard to believe that Hilton has been able to secure a record contract, and is bewildered that at members of the public who have gone out to buy it.

"Five years ago Paris Hilton's album would have done really well over here (in the UK), because we didn't have things like the Internet; we didn't have bands like myself or the Arctic Monkeys," Allen said.

"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. It's just laziness. People cheesy enough to buy albums like that should be killed."
