Paris’s album Sabotaged

Paris Hilton's debut pop effort has been sabotaged in the UK by a guerrilla graffiti artist. Banksy, who has become notorious for his painted pranks, smuggled 500 doctored copies of the hotel heiress' first album into music stores around Britain.

The CDs see Hilton's sugary pop overwritten by Banksy's own beats, while the album artwork has been altered so that Hilton's face is replaced by her dog and the track listing reads as a series of inane questions, including, "Why am I famous?" On the album cover Banksy's digital wizardry has repositioned Hilton's dress to expose her breasts.

The street artist's musical composition features The Simple Life star's catchphrase "That's hot!" dubbed over 40 minutes of a basic rhythm track.

Banksy's bogus CD marks the latest in a long line of high-profile stunts including illegally exhibiting his own work at the prestigious Tate Britain gallery in 2003 and painting part of Israel's security wall around the West Bank last year (‘05).
