Prison Paris Gets Akon’s Attention

Of all the celebrities in Hollywood, you wouldn’t think that Paris Hilton would top the list of girls with street cred. But according to R & B star Akon, she has what it takes.

Now that Paris has done hard time (arguably), Akon wants to help the heiress make her next album much more successful than her last. And it’s just in time, given that Warner Brothers just dropped her from their label.

Akon told press, "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!"

The only question is, will Paris sign with Akon’s Konvict Muzik label. Given the fact that there aren’t a ton of people banging down her door to give her a deal, it looks like a pretty sweet setup for both parties.
