After a long weekend, trying to figure out the motivations behind street artist Banksy's reworking of the Paris Hilton album — including a 40-minute remix CD, a collage of Paris' body and a dog's head, a sticker touting the single "Why Am I Famous?," and a few fake-topless shots — bends the brain. Is it a statement against celebrity, an attempt to ride celebrity's coattails into the headlines, or a label-engineered ploy to sucker the UK crop of Paris-loathers into picking up a copy of "Paris" their local HMVs? Whatever the case, there's one clear winner in the whole affair: this guy, who bought two copies and is now selling one on eBay. Current bid: 250 pounds.
