Over the weekend it was reported that Banksy, the artist who notoriously sneaked fake versions of famous paintings into art galleries last year, replaced as many as 500 retail store copies of Paris Hilton’s debut CD with a retouched and remixed version.

It has now been confirmed by his management that Danger Mouse, the producer of bands including Gnarls Barkley and Gorillaz, is the mastermind behind the remix side of the disc.

As reported in many British newspapers, the CDs were replaced with fake replicas including topless photos of Paris, with slogans such as “90% of success is just showing up”. The actual songs were also changed and some of the new titles included “Why Am I Famous,” “What Have I Done,” and “What Am I For.”

According to an email from his management company obtained by SPIN.com, Danger Mouse met Banksy in London while shopping for disguises. The two had one singular statement about the project: “It’s hard to improve on perfection, but we had to try.”

Nobody has hearted this, be the first!
