French dance music star DAVID GUETTA has dismissed reports he’s working with PARIS HILTON on a new track.
The socialite was rumoured to have teamed up with the producer for her upcoming album, but Guetta, who has previously collaborated with Rihanna and Kelly Rowland, insists he has not hit the recording studio with Hilton.
Speaking on Australia’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show, he says, "(It’s) absolutely not true. She came a few times to my night, F**k Me I’m Famous, in Ibiza and I think she really loved the party.
"I know she is working on a musical idea and maybe because some pictures of her at my night were taken (it became a rumour), but it’s not true."

Veteran crooner SIR CLIFF RICHARD is in talks with OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN to stage a Las Vegas show.
The 70-year-old British singer has had hits around the world but has so far failed to crack America - but he’s hoping a residency in Sin City will boost his chance of success.
He tells Woman’s Weekly, "Olivia Newton-John and I have talked about joining forces to find a Las Vegas venue to perform at. Elton John said recently, ‘I can’t understand why you never cracked it’. And I can’t either. It’s the land of rock ‘n’ roll - like Wimbledon is to tennis.
"Acts like Elvis and Little Richard were the reason I started so it would mean a great deal to have at least one success over there. I’ve had nine Top 30 hits in America but never an identity. If I could just have one big hit I’d feel so much satisfaction."

Singer MORRISSEY sent his nephew to a book launch to publicly rebut a claim the rocker used vocal-correction technology on his most recent album.
A special event was held in the British star’s hometown of Manchester, England on Friday (07Oct11) to mark the publication of Morrissey: Fandom, Representations and Identities.
The event also featured a question-and-answer session, but organisers received a nasty surprise when a relative of the former The Smiths frontman stood up and read a statement from the singer.
The unnamed man, who identified himself as a nephew of the star, told the crowd Morrissey wished to rebut a claim in the book that Auto-Tune software was used to adjust his vocals on Something Is Squeezing My Skull, a track on the rocker’s 2009 album Years of Refusal.
In a statement, an editor of the new book writes, "Morrissey’s nephew did read a statement referring to a single issue which he disagrees with in one of our book’s chapters."

PETER GABRIEL is re-imagining his I’LL SCRATCH YOURS covers album project - because so many artists whose hits he covered on his SCRATCH MY BACK release aren’t interested in reworking his songs.
Gabriel recorded orchestral renditions of songs by David Bowie, Arcade Fire, Neil Young and Radiohead among others for the 2010 album and he had hoped the artists would return the favour for a covers album of his own work.
But too many of the acts he honoured with orchestral makeovers aren’t interested in being part of the project.
He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I’ve sort of given up waiting… We have six excellent tracks with Bon Iver, Paul Simon, Lou Reed, David Byrne, Steven Merritt and Elbow. So now I think that I might try to find three or four other people to cover my stuff, so that I can make an album out of that, and then get that out next year in some form."

Embattled country singer HANK WILLIAMS, JR. has recorded a new song to address the controversy surrounding his recent clash with U.S. TV bosses.
The fervent Republican’s sports anthem Are You Ready For Some Football? was pulled from its weekly slot at the beginning of ESPN sports show Monday Night Football last week (03Oct11), hours after he slammed U.S. President Barack Obama and compared the leader to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler during a breakfast TV interview with Fox & Friends.
He later apologised for his comments but ESPN bosses have opted to end their run with the grizzled country star and his anthem and instead look for another lead-in tune.
In protest, Williams, Jr. has entered a Tennessee studio to lay down a new track, in which he’ll musically share his side of the story.
According to the Associated Press, the third verse of a new song contains the line "So Fox ‘n Friends wanna put me down/Ask for my opinion/Twist it all around… Well two can play that gotcha game you’ll see." And Williams, Jr. also urges listeners to keep Fox & Friends and ESPN out of their home toward the end of the song.
The new song is set to be released on iTunes this week (begs10Oct11).

Actress ZOOEY DESCHANEL’s dreams of playing rock legend JANIS JOPLIN on the big screen have been dashed - the project has been shelved.
The Yes Man star, who is tasting U.S. TV success as the leading lady in hit new comedy New Girl, has revealed The Gospel According to Janis is no longer in development - and she’s upset because she has spent years preparing for the Penelope Spheeris film.
Deschanel tells The Hollywood Reporter, "I’ve been working on her scratchy voice with a vocal coach for three years and now we’ve found out it just isn’t going to happen. That’s a lot of time to spend prepping for a movie." Pink and Amy Adams are also attached to Joplin biopics, but neither of those films are currently in development.
