On This Paris Hilton Video, She Sings

(CBS)  Paris Hilton is out with the music video for her first single, "Stars are Blind." The video, directed by Chris Applebaum, shows everybody's favorite celebutante dressed in a teeny leopard skin bikini and frolicking along the beach with a hunky male model.

That's pretty much it.

"Stars Are Blind" is a catchy reggae-influenced song — think Blondie's 1980 cover of "The Tide Is High."

The song isn't that vocally challenging, but the heiress sings it with a certain laid-back sexy charm.

On a scale from, say, Ashlee to Jessica Simpson, Hilton falls somewhere in the middle.

The video can be seen on Hilton's official Web site and the single is available for digital download at various sites.

The song is set to hit radio June 12, and that evening she'll be a guest on CBS's "The Late Show with David Letterman."

Hilton's self-titled album is due sometime in the fall, on Warner Bros. Records.
