While a small group of protestors stood outside the packed bash at Hollywood's hottest nightclub Privilege for Paris Hilton's star-studded exclusive CD launch party and criticized the heiress turned pop star, celebrities inside stood up and defended her against the controversy.


"Some may say that there will always be a few people who will attack an icon. What many people do not know is that Paris' voice and music are really good. Not only is she beautiful, but she really does have talent, as she proved during her five-song performance at Privilege," said Eric Schiffer.


Prior to Paris' party, Eric was seen at the famous Viper Room, the Hollywood nightclub owned by Johnny Depp, for the celebrity-filled launch event of the BC Ethic Clothing line -- where Eric entertained Billy Gibbons of legendary ZZ Top.


Eric Schiffer authored the best-selling book "Emotionally Charged Learning." His next book, "Rockstar Entrepreneur," is slated for a spring release. Schiffer, the celebrity author and actor, just signed to star in the soon-to-be-produced motion picture comedy co-starring TK Carter (Showtime's The Corner, Dr. Detroit).
