Paris Hilton CDs Doctored
Artist Doctors Paris CDs
From Press Association
Celebrity Paris Hilton has become the latest victim of "guerrilla artist" Banksy after he doctored hundreds of copies of her latest album and smuggled them into record shops.The notoriously secretive artist has "reworked" the sleeve of Hilton's debut album by superimposing a dog's head on top of the svelte singer's topless body.
The 500 tampered albums also come with a sticker on the cover, boasting that the album contains the hits: Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?
Inside the accompanying booklet, a picture of the heiress emerging from a luxury car has been retouched to include a group of homeless people.
Hilton's own bubblegum pop songs have also been replaced with a 40-minute CD remixed by an artist, mysteriously giving his name only as DM.
Rumours are rife that the man behind the new mix is Danger Mouse - who is best known for his hip hop group Gnarls Barkley.
Banksy is thought to have smuggled the albums into stores and placed them on shelves next to the authentic Paris Hilton albums last week.
His spokeswoman, Jo Brooks, said he had visited stores in Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and London.
The CDs - which will be worth considerably more now than the originals - have been distributed in 48 high stores and independent shops.
The artist left the original barcode on so people could buy the CD without realising it had been interfered with.
"They're very subtly done and do look like the original albums," she said.
"You have to look quite carefully to see what he's done. I don't like to speak on his behalf but I think he's saying you can be a celebrity but you don't have to do music. I don't know what the reaction will be in America or whether she would even get it."
