PARIS HILTON - HILTON: 'DOHERTY IS MY GREATEST INFLUENCE'

Hotel heiress PARIS HILTON cites PETE DOHERTY as her muse for her upcoming musical effort later this year (06).

The 25-year-old socialite, who is releasing an album on Warner Music, was desperate to meet the troubled rocker at the Brit awards last week (15FEB06), but he managed to avoid her.

She says, "My main influences are THE BABYSHAMBLES (sic), KEANE and MADONNA.

"I wanted to meet Pete Doherty when I was in the UK for the Brits but he wasn't at any of the parties."
