I don't know about the Paris Hilton one,
but this is full of pitch correction taken to the extreme. Have a look around for demos of Melodyne. It is what all the producers are using in the studio to make these bland, robotic vocals.
Example: the first woah that she sings. No human can hit every note as cleanly, distinctly and without vibrato as that.
Example 2: Anything by Maroon 5.

Did you see the The Gadget Show last week?
They used Melodyne on that to make a truly awful performance... well, on key at least.
