Hilton 'wants to duet with McCartney'

Paris Hilton has apparently asked Paul McCartney if he would consider recording a track with her.

The heiress suggested the idea when the pair met at the Recording Academy post-Grammys party, The Sun reports.

She is quoted as saying: "I'd love to do a duet with you. I'm a singer too and have had an album out."

She allegedly added that his hair was "just like in The Beatles" and "so cute".

An onlooker said: "He looked bemused, smiled and nodded - then stumbled out that he'd have to check his schedule."

Earlier this month, McCartney was named as the third-greatest British songwriter, behind his late former bandmate John Lennon in second position and Take That star Gary Barlow at number one.
