Hotel heiress, master self-promoter and aspiring pop-music star Paris Hilton will issue her first album on Aug. 22, two weeks later than previously announced.
The self-titled set was made with the help of some of the hottest producers money can buy, including Scott Storch (50 Cent, Beyonce), Jonathan "J.R." Rotem (Rihanna) and Dr. Luke (Pink, Kelly Clarkson).
Among the songwriters who contributed to the set were Kara DioGuardi (Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson), Billy Steinberg (Madonna, Cyndi Lauper) and Sheppard Solomon (Natalie Imbruglia).
Rappers Jadakiss and Fat Joe appear on the album track "Fightin' Over Me."
Hilton's album already has its first hit, "Stars are Blind," which currently sits at No. 16 on Billboard's pop singles chart. The track was officially issued June 5, shortly after it was leaked by Ryan Seacrest on Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM.
Other tracks on the album include a cover of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," "Turn It Up" (described in a press release as a "club banger") and "I Want You" (said to flaunt "the knowing pop smarts of her idols Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Blondie's Deborah Harry").
A television special that looks at the making of the album will debut Aug. 8 on MTV and VH1; the video for "Stars are Blind" is currently in rotation on both stations.
