R+b star Akon has offered his producing and songwriting skills to struggling solo singer Paris Hilton.

The socialite is planning her second album, despite poor sales of her debut eponymous disc and recently losing her record deal with Warner Bros.

Despite Hilton's much-questioned singing talent, Akon is keen to work with the hotel heiress following her recent jail spell, because she would fit so well with his Konvict Muzik record label.

He says, "In my mind I was thinking now Paris Hilton is an official convict, I think I'm gonna get with her and put a record out."

"I would definitely sign her to my label 'cos she's a character. You give her the cutest record, something that's just for women, an anthem; I think it will be outta here!"
