Paris In Her Place

Posted over 5 years ago
Why is the MOG-O-Sphere not abuzz over this juicy piece of news? Have we all become so gol-durn worn out on Paris-bashing that we can't get our panties at least a little bit in a bunch over the fact that 500 vandalized copies of Miz Hilton's new album were just leaked in London?Oh yes, oh yes. Banksy did it, whoever Banksy is, with thanks to a mysterious "DM" (DangerMouse anyone? or a clever impostor?). The vandalism-as-art project involved replacing song titles with questions like "Why Am I Famous?" as well as doctoring album photos of the faux-tanned princessionaire, including one with her dog's head pasted over her own face. The songs are remixed, too (hence the nod to DM) but I have yet to find anyone who has actually listened to them. Anyone? Bueller?SPIN's got the scoop... and thanks to Heidi for passing it to me.

  7. pip68 says Paris Hilton needs publicity - it's her oxygen. If we ignore her she'll suffocaste.

  9. Jess Horrible says The way I figure, if we just let her keep on as she is, she will eventually explode. which will be fun to watch.

  10. Dale says This was the talk of the MOG-o-sphere over the Labor Day weekend, but just never gets old. The only problem is Paris squeezing one more shot of her pouting about this tragedy, when in reality it's prolly the best thing to ever happen to her career.

  14. Sethpian says draw your own parenting conclusions here - I was in a restaurant mens room when Mr. Hilton (her dad) came in, tipped the attendant around $150, went to use the urinal, and walked ouot without washing his hands. I don't know if its relevant but I never get tired of telling it.

  16. Jorobot says If DM is involved I really want to hear these remixes. I also hear she covers "Do You think I'm sexy?" on her album, which I really want to hear.

  17. Rinserepeat says Cultural jamming at its best. I love it when people "take things into their own hands" and reappropriate them the way they should be viewed by society (rather than being wrongly embraced by society).

  19. ciaran says Banksy is a genius. Whenever I go to a European capital I look out for his work and have so far spotted it in London (obviously, it's almost ubiquitous), Barcelona & Paris. He might even have made it to the States (in fact I think I read something about him hitting New York) so keep 'em peeled!

  20. ch33v3rs says I... I... I... I... I SAY dddDAaaMmmmM!!! TY! This is a big world with a place in it for us all. Paris serves a important purpose and that is art in her own way. Those like Banksy ask us to evaluate our position. If it is stupid, is it art? - The Grouch dwell > KIARAN
