Charlotte Church says no to 'greedy' Paris

Singer drops Paris Hilton from new TV chat show

Wednesday, 30 August 2006

Charlotte Church has banned Paris Hilton from her new chat show after it's alleged she demanded £350,000 to appear.

The Welsh songstress said: We asked Paris to be on the programme because I could take the mick out of her and not feel bad about it - she's such a complete airhead.

'But she demanded a ridiculous amount of money – like the price of a big house just to say a few stupid things. She's hardly going to announce anything world changing, is she? It's absolutely pathetic, isn't it?'

Charlotte, 20, also announced she'd be inviting Girls Aloud on her Channel 4 show in a bid to end their long-running war of words which started when Cheryl Tweedy accused her of copying their style.

Yesterday Charlotte told Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles: 'I'd definitely have Girls Aloud on. I really don't hate them. I'm totally fed up of all that. I met Kimberley in a Bristol club and she was really sweet.'

The Charlotte Church show launches on Friday. Guests lined up for the series include Julie Walters, Ricky Gervais and the Scissor Sisters.
