Damien Hirst, a British artist has purchased a portrait of Paris Hilton made up from images taken out of pornographic magazines.
The collage - entitled Paris, 2008 - was the work of Jonathan Yeo, the son of former Conservative minister Tim.
Yeo’s use of adult magazines began in 2004 after the White House canceled a commission to paint President George Bush.
In other news Hilton appeared on The View yesterday and had an awkward moment with Joy Behar when she was asked if she can vote.
“You’re not going to be able to vote, are you?” Joy asked Paris pointedly. “I have a friend who was in the slammer, he can’t vote. Weren’t you in jail?”
“I can vote,” Paris responded, laughing comfortably.
The other ladies of “The View” tried to ease the situation, explaining to Joy that losing the right to vote only applied to people convicted of a felony.
“What was your thing? Yours was a misdemeanor or something?” Behar asked.
“No, it was driving with a suspended license,” Paris answered.
“You can still vote with that? ” Joy quipped.
Putting an end to the awkwardness, Whoopi chimed in saying, “Yeah, you’re still an American, yeah.”
I find it funny that when the topic turns away from Paris she doesn’t say anything or offer her opinion.
Russell Brand faces being blacklisted by the American media after causing outrage with a string of offensive jokes at the live MTV Video Music Awards.
The Essex-born comedian labeled President George Bush a ‘retard’, called Britney Spears ‘the female Christ‘ and poked fun at young virgins.
Brand, 33, who was hosting the ceremony live, had already been forbidden by MTV bosses to mention the C-word or, more bizarrely, Scientology.
He began his opening monologue by saying: ‘Please, America, elect Barack Obama. On behalf of the world. Some people, I think they’re called racists, say America is not ready for a black president.
‘But I know America to be a forward-thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years?’
He added: ‘We thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because in England he wouldn’t be trusted with a pair of scissors.’
Onlookers caught sight of Britney Spears sitting straight-faced in the audience and refusing to clap.
