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."
But he left the original barcode so people could buy the CD without realising it had been interfered with.
Banksy is notorious for his secretive and subversive stunts such as sneaking doctored versions of classic paintings into major art galleries.
His spokeswoman said he had tampered with the CDs in branches of HMV and Virgin as well as independent record stores.
He visited cities including Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and London, she added.
A spokesman for HMV said the chain had recovered seven CDs from two Brighton shops but was unaware that other locations were affected.

Nie wiem jak wielu(e) z Was zna tego artyste ale na calym swiecie Banksy znany jest ze swoich prac, nielegalnych akcji i dosc pojechanych pomyslow. Nikt nie robil podobnych rzeczy przed nim a o ile mi wiadomo ma mase nasladowcow.
Jego ostatnia powazna akcja jest wyzej opisana podmiana singli przeuroczej P.Hilton, ktorej poziom talentu w kazdej znanej mi dziedzinie sztuki bliski jest ZERA. To jak do tego wszystkiego doszlo pokazuje dosc klarownie video ponizej. Mistrz.
Wiecej fot jak dokladnie wyglada ten singiel mozna zobaczyc tutaj. A jesli masz ochote poznac wiecej prac Banksy'ego proponuje odwiedzic samo zrodlo.
