LOS ANGELES, CA  [Monday Jul.30.2007]  /WMQT.com/ -- Akon wants to help out troubled celebutante Paris Hilton with her slumping music career.

The R&B star says he'd jump at the chance to work with hotel heiress, in spite of her questionable singing talent, according to Teenmusic.com.

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!"
