Paris Hilton's album entered the UK chart at number 29 last week
Hundreds of Paris Hilton albums have been tampered with in the latest stunt by "guerrilla artist" Banksy.
Banksy has replaced Hilton's CD with his own remixes and given them titles such as Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?
He has also changed pictures of her on the CD sleeve to show the US socialite topless and with a dog's head.
A spokeswoman for Banksy said he had doctored 500 copies of her debut album Paris in 48 record shops across the UK.
She told the BBC News website: "He switched the CDs in store, so he took the old ones out and put his version in."
Banksy is famous for vandalizing buildings, walls, etc. with his political and humorous artwork. He once snuck in his own modified painting to various art exhibitons in America and Britain. He also designed the album art of Blur's Think Tank album.
Danger Mouse, producer of Gorillaz's Demon Days and contributer in Gnarls Barkley created the remixes according to their myspace.
Nobody knows his real identity, because of the illegal vandalizing he did.
Here are some of his work:
And here's his gallery: Check it out, some of them are rather amusing.

His art is not considered vandalism, imo. His art gets people into deep thought and his art has meaning
