Paris Hilton’s raunchy music video has been banned in India.
Officials in the country felt the promo for ‘Stars Are Blind’ - which features writhing around on a beach in just a skimpy bikini - was far too explicit and have slapped an adult certificate on it which means it can’t be broadcast on any TV channel.
Paris’ record company, EMI Virgin India, are furious about the ruling by the country’s Central Board of Film Certification.
The label’s A+R manager, Narendra Kusnur, fumed: “We had edited the video and sent a fresh copy, but they weren’t happy with that.” The only place fans in India will be able to see the music video will be online via a special website, www.clinicallclear.com, set up by a shampoo company who is sponsoring the release of her self-titled album.
EMI Virgin marketing manager, Kaveri Khullar, explained: “To the best of our knowledge, there are no rules yet regarding censorship on the internet so we plan to use the online platform to generate buzz.”
