Just when we thought Paris Hilton had retired from being Paris Hilton, the hotel heiress announced that she's recording another album, and that she's collaborating with Afrojack and LMFAO. In other words, she's trying to turn what we thought was a publicity stunt into a full-fledged career path. Fortunately for the famous blond, she's not the most ear-numbing pseudo-singer out of the long roster of reality TV personalities turned recording artists. Check out The 15 Worst Reality Stars Turned Singers and see who's even more embarrassing in the studio.

15. HEIDI MONTAG

Reality Show: The Hills
Failed Attempt at Music: “Superficial"
This would have been more endearing if Heidi marketed it as an SNL digital Short.

14. MELISSA GORGA

Reality Show: The Real Housewives of New Jersey
Failed Attempt at Music: “On Display"
Gorga is essentially singing to defend herself against people watching her, but she expects people to listen to this song? That’s some Catch-22.

13. DAVID BROOM

Reality Show: The Real World: New Orleans
Failed Attempt at Music: "Come On Be My Baby Tonight"
While Chappelle's rendition of this record is funny, the real version is hilarious. Unfortunately, it's nowhere to be found online. Tragic.

12. PARIS HILTON

Reality Show: The Simple Life
Failed Attempt at Music: "Nothing in this World"
We’ll be honest, "Stars Are Blind" was kind of catchy. Then she proved it was a fluke  with the rest of her terrible music.

11. DANIELLE STAUB

Reality Show: The Real Housewives of New Jersey
Failed Attempt at Music: “Real Close"
Yo, she performed this on Maury. That's all you need to know.

10. MIKE "THE SITUATION" SORRENTINO

Reality Show: Jersey Shore
Failed Attempt at Music: “The Situation"
The Situation tried to give us the ultimate fist-pumping song when he released his self-titled single, “The Situation.” Emphasis on tried.

9. KIM KARDASHIAN

Reality Show: Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Failed Attempt at Music: "Jam"
Has anyone ever sounded more bored on wax?

8. MICHAELE SALAHI

Reality Show: The Real Housewives of D.C.
Failed Attempt at Music: “Bump It"
Michaele was kicked off Celebrity Rehab because she had “no addiction” and “no reason to be there.” Well, according to her song “Bump It,” she's a dance-a-holic. That’s a very real disease, Dr. Drew.

7. SIMON VAN KEMPEN

Reality Show: The Real Housewives of New York City
Failed Attempt at Music: "I Am Real"
This song would've gone viral had it been about his red leather pants instead of his fame and housewives talking behind his back.

6. LUANN DE LESSEPS

Reality Show: The Real Housewives of New York City
Failed Attempt at Music: “Chic, C’est la Vie"
She basically turned Chicken Soup for the Soul into a song. We're not buying self-powerment from a reality star.

5. NANCY JONES

Reality Show: Love and Hip Hop
Failed Attempt at Music: “Psychotic Bitch"
If you think you have family issues, we invite you to take a listen to “Psychotic Bitch,” where Mama Jones goes off on her son Jim Jones' girlfriend.

4. KIM ZOLCIAK

Reality Show: The Real Housewives of Atlanta
Failed Attempt at Music: “Tardy for the Party"
Ah, deadpan delivery burglar alarm beats. We're totally okay with never hearing this song again.

3. KEVIN FEDERLINE

Reality Show: Britney & Kevin: Chaotic
Failed Attempt at Music: “Po Po Zao"
K-Fed is a man of mystery. The only explanation he provides for his single “Po Po Zao” is that it's a “Brazilian ass shaker.” We did our homework, and it’s Portuguese for “big butt.” Now the only mystery that remains is why Britney married him.

2. ANGELINA PIVARNICK

Reality Show: Jersey Shore
Failed Attempt at Music: “I’M HOT"
Her music debut sounds like a song that she wrote in middle school. Exhibit A: “I’m hot/Like an ice cream cone with a cherry on top.”

1. TILA TEQUILA

Reality Show: A Shot at Love
Failed Attempt at Music: “I Love U"
She's only the most annoying reality star ever. Her music is no different.
