Redfoo tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "Paris Hilton is a big fan. She's actually a big reason we're here today, because she would play our music in front of (cameras for gossip website) TMZ when she would drive around."

After hearing about Redfoo's kind words Paris tweeted, "Thanks for the shout out! Love you @LMFAO!"
