LONDON (AP) - Some Paris Hilton fans may have got more - or less - than they bargained for when they bought her debut album.

Record chain HMV said Sunday it had pulled from shelves several copies of Hilton's Paris album that appeared to have been doctored by British graffiti artist and prankster Banksy.

The doctored version includes a topless image of the celebrity heiress, as well as a picture in which she sports the head of a dog.

A sticker advertises the album's "hits" - "Why am I Famous?" "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?"

Instead of Hilton's perky pop, the CD inside features 40 minutes of remixed music by a musician identified only as "DM."

Banksy's spokeswoman, Jo Brooks, said the artist had hidden 500 copies of the altered album in record stores across Britain.

"They're very subtly done and do look like the original albums," Brooks said. "You have to look quite carefully to see what he's done."

HMV said it had recovered seven copies of the Banksy version of the album from two stores in Brighton, southern England. The chain said it planned to auction off the copies.

Banksy, who has managed to disguise his identity despite his spreading fame, began by scattering subversive stenciled images across British cities, but has moved on to books and gallery shows.

He has surreptitiously hung faux artworks in major galleries in New York, Paris and London, and displayed a rock painting of a spear-toting man pushing a shopping cart in the British Museum.

Last year he stenciled a series of images, including balloons and mountain vistas, on the Palestinian side of Israel's West Bank "security barrier."

All I can say is,that if Paris Hilton thinks she can sing,she really does need a doctor...for her mind is quite ill! :D LOL~

It's not her mind that has gotten her where she is today.

This girl is such a huge joke. What would she be if you took away the face paint, designer clothes, rich parents, team of stylists, and hair extensions....? Nothing special, thats what.

Right On, to all of the above. But you know there are a lot of people like that in the world. Born with a silver spoon in there mouth. It really is not there faults, I guess? But they could use what they have been given, to contibute to needy causes in the world. Easy for us to say tho... Jesse.

Paris Hilton booked in L.A. for investigation of driving under the influence

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Paris Hilton was arrested early Thursday for investigation of driving under the influence, police said.

Hilton was arrested shortly before 12:30 a.m. after being pulled over in Hollywood, said police Officer I. Isabella, who declined to give his first name.

Police stopped Hilton because she was "driving erratically," Isabella said, reading a police statement.

"The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence."

Hilton was booked on suspicion of misdemeanour DUI and released, he said.

Her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the arrest and said police detected the minimum blood-alcohol level to warrant an arrest. The legal limit in California is 0.08 per cent.

"She's absolutely fine," Mintz said. "She didn't appear in the least bit to be intoxicated."

At the time of her arrest, Hilton was driving home in her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren from a charity event where she had one drink, a margarita, he said. She had spent the day shooting a music video for her new album, Paris.

The driving under the influence symptoms were "probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued," Mintz said.

She was picked up from the Los Angeles Police Department's Hollywood station by her sister, Nicky, Nicky's boyfriend, actor Kevin Connolly, and Mintz.

In June, Hilton had a fender-bender accident when her Range Rover backed into a car in a parking garage after a shopping trip.
