Can a person who's famous for being famous turn that fame into a musical career?

Paris' Paris

Paris Hilton is about to answer that question, as she announced today that her self-titled debut album will hit stores August 22.

Looking to create a set of "club-ready dance pop [with] urban edge tracks," Hilton brought in some hip-hop and pop heavyweights to work on the album, including radio-friendly producer Scott Storch and songwriters and engineers for the likes of Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson, Madonna, Black Eyed Peas, Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson, and Justin Timberlake.

"She's got quite a musical ability," Storch said in a statement. "Her rhythm is much better than a lot of people I've recorded in the past."

Hilton kicked off the promotion of the album with the early June release of "Stars Are Blind," a breezy, pop reggae song featuring Hilton's breathy vocals. The song was accompanied by a Chris Applebaum-directed video that was clearly inspired by the video for Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game," with a scantily clad Hilton slithering and writhing on the beach.

The album also features rappers Jadakiss and Fat Joe on "Fightin' Over Me," as well as a cover version of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," featuring Hilton's "signature kittenish vocals," according to the announcement.

MTV and VH1 plan to air a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Hilton's album in a music special to air on both channels on August 8.
