For years, when Paris Hilton was the top Google draw for celeb news, she talked about her buddy Kim Kardashian like she was just an incidental pal who helped her eBay her unwanted frocks, and poked fun at her ample bottom occasionally in published quotes.

Then, Hilton tried to make a mark in music and failed, as Kim Kardashian quietly and with some help from Ray J in a leaked sex tape, has built a career in reality TV and now music, it seems.
Kim K partied 2010 away at Tao in Las Vegas on Friday night, and got the crowd jumping with her single, "Turn It Up." A source told MTV News it was a stone cold hit.
"Oh my god! [The response was] huge," the MTV source said. "People wanted an encore and the DJ only played it once, but they wanted to hear it again. She was singing along and dancing with it. She wasn't singing over a track, she wasn't performing for the guests."
Kim's ditty was described by the source as a "back-in-the-day Jennifer Lopez ... a little bit of a Jennifer Lopez feel."
Will it best "Tardy for the Party" by that other reality star, Kim Z? Talk back and share your thoughts.
