Paris Hilton sings!YOUR E-MAIL ALERTSHONG KONG (AP) -- Paris Hilton says her upcoming album will be a mix of reggae, pop and hip-hop, with the first single being a reggae song called "Stars Are Blind." Hilton also will remake Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy," she said in an interview in the June issue of Hong Kong magazine Prestige. "The whole album has so much different music on it. I like all music. It's not like I only like pop or only rock. I want to have something for everybody," Hilton was quoted as saying. Hilton said she wrote the lyrics to seven of her songs. The magazine didn't say how many songs are on the album. She said she had to overcome shyness to become a singer. "I have always had a voice and always known I could sing, but I was too shy to let it come out," Hilton was quoted as saying. "When I finally let go and did it, I realized it is what I am most talented at and what I love to do the most." Prestige said the single, "Stars Are Blind," will be released this month by Warner Records and her own label Heiress Records, followed by a full album later this year. Gwen Stefani has a sonLOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- It's a boy for Gwen Stefani and her rocker husband Gavin Rossdale. Kingston James McGregor Rossdale was born by Caesarean section Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to Stefani spokesman Dave Tomberlin. The baby weighed 7 1/2 pounds. "Both mother and child are doing well," Tomberlin said in a statement. It's the first child for Stefani, 36, and Rossdale, 38, who were married in 2002. Rossdale, who fronted the rock band Bush, has a 16-year-old daughter with fashion designer Pearl Lowe. Oscar-winning designer deadSAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- Academy Award-winning set designer Henry Bumstead has died at age 91, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. Bumstead, who worked on more than 100 films during a nearly 70-year career, won Oscars for production design for the 1962 drama "To Kill a Mockingbird" and the 1973 comedy "The Sting." He also was an Oscar nominee for the 1958 thriller "Vertigo" and actor and director Clint Eastwood's 1992 western "Unforgiven." Bumstead was "one of a kind," Eastwood said in a statement quoted by the Los Angeles Times. "He seamlessly bridged the gap between what I saw on the page and what I saw through the camera lens. He is a legend in his field and a cherished friend. We will all miss him terribly," Eastwood said. Bumstead and Eastwood collaborated on 13 films, starting with the John Sturges-directed 1972 western "Joe Kidd." During work on Eastwood's 2004 Oscar-winning drama "Million Dollar Baby," Bumstead learned he had prostate cancer, reportedly the cause of his death, according to the Los Angeles Times.
