(bear in mind this particular version of the commercial was not animated by Jan Svochak. I'm merely using it for reference, as it is the only one I could find on the Internet.)

Paris: 'All I Wanted Was an In-N-Out Burger!'
Paris told Ryan she had an excruciatingly long day on Wednesday filming the video for her new single "Nothing in This World." She told Ryan she wrapped shooting for the day, went to dinner with sister Nicky and girlfriends (guess she didn't eat at dinner), attended a charity event hosted by Dave Navarro and had one margarita. She says she left to drive home -- which, she says, was only a few blocks away-- and may have been going a little fast because she was "starving" and just wanted an In-N-Out Burger!

The First YouTube Election
YouTube is also a tempting launch pad for political mischief because it is effectively unregulated by the Federal Election Commission, whose Internet rules apply only to paid political advertising. Videos on YouTube don’t have to disclose their source or include an on-air approval from a candidate — two requirements for political TV and radio spots.

Paris Hilton CDs doctored
Record chain HMV said Sunday it had pulled from shelves several copies of Hilton's "Paris" album that appeared to have been doctored by British graffiti artist and prankster Banksy.The doctored version includes a topless image of the celebrity heiress, as well as a picture in which she sports the head of a dog. A sticker advertises the album's "hits" -- "Why am I Famous?" "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?"Instead of Hilton's perky pop, the CD inside features 40 minutes of remixed music by a musician identified only as "DM."Banksy's spokeswoman, Jo Brooks, said the artist had hidden 500 copies of the altered album in record stores across Britain."They're very subtly done and do look like the original albums," Brooks said.
