Paris Hilton Doesn’t Sing But Uses Her Mouth In Better Ways

Paris Hilton was left humiliated at her birthday party after her new man exposed her lip-syncing. (Full Picture Set) The socialite - who flew by private jet to Las Vegas with 15 friends to belatedly celebrate turning 28 - was horrified when lover Doug Reinhardt grabbed her microphone as she was performing her song 'Stars Are Blind' at the Body English night club at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Saturday (03.07.09). A source said: "Paris was really going all-out to impress Doug until he took the mic off her and the singing just carried on. Everyone in the club thought it was hilarious." Before her rendition, Paris paid tribute to Doug, gushing: "My man is right over there, the sexiest man in the world." During the evening, Paris - whose birthday was on February 18 - was entertained by Chester French and then presented with a giant pink mushroom-shaped cake decorated with a butterfly before heading up to the Penthouse suite at 3am to continue partying. They were greeted by the Sesame Street band, playing in a room filled with balloons and circus performers. Paris had already celebrated her special day in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
