Hilton's singing career in peril

New York, Aug 30 - Socialite heiress Paris Hilton's singing career looks bleak after the flop of her debut CD.

According to pagesix.com, the CD titled 'Paris' has managed to sell just 75,000 copies in its first week. And projected sales are said to be only 30,000 copies.

An industry source said: 'The international outlook is not much better for her, the international people are not inclined to do a big push since she can't back up the album with a tour. Obviously, she can't sing live.'

The source added that Hilton was asked to get her voice trained, work with choreographers and learn an instrument to prepare for tour.

However, her representative said: 'To me, the album sounds huge. For a newcomer, this is incredibly impressive.'
