Infamous British grafitti artist Banksy, known for sneaking his works of art into galleries like the MOMA, Metropolitan Museum, Tate and Museum of Natural History, has struck out at Paris Hilton by releasing 500 hilariously doctored versions of her debut CD, “Paris.”

That’s hysterical and I can’t wait until photos and tracks from the doctored CD are online.

What the article fails to mention is that Banksy may have a more personal reason to mock Paris. One of his biggest art sales, that of Queen Victoria wearing garters while sitting on a woman’s face, was to Christina Aguilera for over $40,000. While Paris’ debut CD is hardly a threat to Aguilera, with Paris’ CD selling a measly 75,000 copies in the US compared to Aguilera’s 320,000, their albums were released at about the same time. Aguilera’s “Back to Basics” came out on 8/15/06, while “Paris” was released on 8/22.

Once pictures of these CDs come out, I’ll post ‘em here. In the mean time, here are pictures of Paris and Nicky at Pharrell Williams’ pre-VMA party. [via]

TMZ is reporting that Paris and Lindsay were in each other’s faces at a Hollywood club Friday night. Paris’ rep can’t deny it, but tries to play it down:

In terms of Lindsay namedropping Paris for publicity, it seems Paris would be more upset that Lindsay’s been bedding all of her exes this month.

Lindsay has not been photographed since Friday, and she hopefully took the weekend off from partying and sleeping with various new guys to rest up and change her clothes. Maybe the little spat with Paris helped her realize that it’s time to lay low.

Meanwhile Paris hasn’t been seen with Matt Leinart since he left her house last Wednesday morning. It’s been about a week, and we’ll see how long it takes before we see them together again.

TMZ has a video of Paris, Nicky, and Brandon Davis outside the club that night talking smack about Lindsay Lohan to the paparazzi. It’s unclear what they’re saying, but they’re clearly making fun of her.

Here is Paris on the night in question attending the Race to Erase MS event. (Paris and Brandon Davis are not together. He is an old friend of hers, although they had a big falling out at one point, with Brandon calling Paris a racist.)

I saw some pictures on WENN photo yesterday of Paris and Nicky Hilton pumping gas and getting ready to go to Mother’s Day dinner with their mom, and I honest thought “Where is their gift?” (The pictures are low-quality watermarked, but you can see what I mean in the last two rows, below. Look at how messy their car is!)

Now Paris’ rep claims that a bag containing $10,000 worth of gifts for ther mom for mother’s day was “stolen” from in front of the Hilton mansion:

Now, it’s totally possible that this happened, but it sounds like a typical excuse for forgetting to get your mom anything for Mother’s Day. We know that Paris and Nicky went shopping on Saturday as they were photographed going to Kitson, but Kitson is a trendy casual store and doesn’t sell Christian Dior items. They didnt have any bags with them that would suggest they got anything else. Maybe they went somewhere else, too, but we doubt it. The paparrazi follow them everywhere, and they would have been easily spotted at an upscale boutique if they actually did all this heavy shopping for their mom. Also, why would they have gifts delivered if they were going to see their mother on Sunday? Wouldn’t they bring the gifts with them?

There’s something about Paris’ mom, Kathy, that makes you feel sorry for her. Sure she has more advantages in life than large portions of the planet combined, but she just seems needy and unfulfilled. Her family must take her for granted, but at least they had a nice dinner together on Sunday.

Here are Paris and Nicky on Saturday outside of Kitson and on Mother’s Day outside the Ivy restaurant. It’s nice that Paris is pumping her own gas. [via] and [via] Paris, Nicky and their mom Kathy are shown at “The Race to Erase MS,” above.

Nick Lachey’s new album “What’s Left of Me” is a clear and heartbreaking exploration of his very public breakup from fellow singer Jessica Simpson. Critics are saying the music is decent pop, if a bit melodramatic and depressing:

Here’s the video for “What’s Left of Me.” It’s pretty good.

The NY Daily News is reporting that Nick decided not to respond to former miss Kentucky Lizzie Arnold, who he was supposedly dating in January. She was said to have sent him several voice and text messages in a vain attempt to get in touch with him before the Kentucky Derby. He was busy with Petra Nemcova the next day, so why would he bother with a past hookup?

Stars attending the CDs release party at Mood in Las Vegas last night include Sophia Bush, Drew Lachey, Wilmer Valderrama, Ryan McPartlin, Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Ryan McPartlin, Sophie Monk, Stacey Keibler, Lance Bass, Traci Swain, Casey Swain and Bonnie Somerville.

A party was held Saturday at the Palms Casino to celebrate the opening of their new “Fantasy Tower” :

Avril Lavigne has attributed her new glamorous image to maturity rather than a makeover, saying it’s a natural progression:

Avril Lavigne wore black, making it hard to judge the size of her baby bump. Also attending were Avril’s fiance Deryck Whibley, Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Kevin Connolly, Michelle Trachtenberg, Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven, Caroline D’Amore, Krista Allen, Seth Green, Travis Barker, Alison Waite and Benji Madden.

When Paris and Stavros were shown on the Jumbotron at a Lakers game on Easter Sunday, she got booed by the crowd despite the fact that she was wearing a Lakers shirt:

Even though she went to a basketball game on Easter, Paris claims she’s deeply religious:

It’s not very Christian to diss people publicly, is it? Of course we wouldn’t know.

Here she is with Courtney Love and her sister Nicky at the “Sober Day USA” Launch Party with The Brent Shapiro Foundation For Drug Awareness in Hollywood. Brent Shapiro was the 24 year-old son of famous attorney Robert Shapiro. He died of a drug overdose last year despite being sober for a year and a half and turning his life around. He died after drinking and taking just a half tab of ecstacy. The Brent Shapiro foundation aims to raise awareness about drug abuse and decrease the stigma associated with discussing the problem.

It looks like Courtney and Paris are exchanging numbers. No comment.

Update: Paris and Stavros have split. Again.

Younger members of the in crowd picked up lots of swag at the “Desert Oasis” Coachella invite-only party held in La Quinta, California on Saturday at Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms estate:

Hopefully Nicole Richie got some free sunglasses. The ones she wore to the party look like they came from a joke shop.

Pictured attendees include Taryn Manning, Nicole Richie, Nicky Hilton, Kevin Connelly, Scott Speedman, Busy Phillipps, Alex Nesic, and Melissa Sagemiller.

Us Weekly’s Hot Hollywood Awards were held Wednesday night. Jessica Alba had a near nip-slip that resulted in some cute picture of her pulling her dress strap up. (Wireimage did not capture this, so you’ll have to see it everywhere else.)

Despite Us Weekly’s content, stars were pleased to show up for the party.

We have over 50 pictures of the party arrivals, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Alba, Alessandra Ambrosio, Brittany Murphy, Cindy Margolis, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, Ludacris, Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, Haylie Duff, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Paris Hilton, Victoria Silvstedt, Avril Lavigne, Carmen Electra, Dave Navarro, Michelle Trachtenberg, Rachael Leigh Cook, Nicky Hilton, Gabrielle Union, Kelly Osbourne, Kimberly Stewart, Stacy Keibler, Ryan Seacrest, Sofia Vergara, Taryn Manning, Maria Sharapova, Melinda Clarke, Tom Green with a fanny pack, and Tori Spelling.

Maybe Paris Hilton can act. According to the Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, the hard-partying heiress cried to get out of a ticket for driving without a registration for her new car:

So Paris didn’t even get a ticket for driving with an unregistered vehicle. She’s had the car for about a month, so you think she could send one of her minions to the DMV for her. Here are some pictures of Paris getting a parking ticket, so she’s at least suffered that indignity.

Here’s a German commercial for online yellow pages featuring Paris ordering some rolls:

And here are pictures of Paris celebrating her boyfriend Stavros Niarchos III’s 21st Birthday Party at Tao Night Club in Las Vegas on 4/22. [via]

Update: pictures of Hilton at the opening of the “replay” clothing store in LA last night. Brandon Davis is launching his line of jeans at the new store. Davis is a former friend of Hilton, and spoke out against her last year, calling her a racist. Nick Hilton also attending the opening.

Paris will host a rock concert at an Austrian ski resort this weekend, and will have to introduce Pink to the crowd. Pink mocks the skinny heiress in her video “Stupid Girls.”

The poker tournament proved to be a popular event at Maxim’s 100th issue celebration in Las Vegas this weekend. Pictured guests include Paris and Nicky Hilton, Vanessa Minnillo, Dave Navarro, Shannon Elizabeth, Taye Diggs, Jamie Lynn-Sigler, Haylie Duff, Gabrielle Union, Kelly Monaco, Anne Heche, and Mekhi Phifer.

Paris must have a thing for female VJs because she posed seductively with Vanessa Minnilo on the red carpet. She was seen in nude photographs with another VJ, Eglantina Zingg, in pictures hacked from her sidekick last year.

Paris has said that she doesn’t think she looks like Mother Teresa, but we couldn’t find a quote that she turned down the role to play the saintly nun in an upcoming Bollywood feature despite news reports jumping to that conclusion.

Here is Paris and company posing at the poker tournament. The winner was a guy named Robert Badgley, who took home a check for $10,000. We couldn’t whether it went to charity or not through a half-assed google search.
