From a series of 500 Paris Hilton albums that were customised by Banksy and Danger Mouse in September 2006.

The artist tampered with the images on the case and insert, depicting the US socialite with a dog's head and the body of a nude mannequin, interspersed with subversive slogans including '90% of Success is just Showing up' and 'Every CD you buY puts me eVen further out Of youR league'. The music was remixed by Banksy and Danger Mouse of Gnarls Barkley and the Grey Album fame, and contains tracks with titles such as "Why Am I Famous?", What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?".

Banksy visited 42 record stores around the UK switching the original Paris Hilton CDs with his amended copies, placing them in the original sleeves with the barcode so that they could be purchased.

Banksy's stunt featured in the national press and as a result most of the works were removed and destroyed at the time.
