(Guardian) Fans of Paris Hilton could be in for a surprise when they purchase her album: guerrilla artist Banksy has doctored hundreds of copies of the socialite-turned-singer's debut CD and smuggled them into record shops around the [UK].

At first glance, the tampered copies appear similar to the originals, but closer investigation reveals that the cover photograph has been amended so that Hilton appears topless. [an inside photo reportedly has Paris' head replaced by a dog's] A sticker promises such hits as Why Am I Famous? and What Have I Done?, while each page of the booklet is illuminated by an ironic slogan. [The cds were replaced by CDRs with remixes of Paris interviews and is credited to DM, some are speculating that it could be Danger Mouse. Even funnier is the fact that a leading retailer in the UK says that not one person that mistakenly purchased this version has returned it. Then again the CD isn't exactly flying off of the shelves in UK record stores.
