Update: Supposedly the duo’s outing was part of a gag played on the paparazzi, and will be explained this Sunday on the E!’s new show Pop Fiction. Other celebrities will be involved with pranks as well as part of the new show. Too bad their cover was blown before it got on the air!

Paris Hilton enjoyed a night out in Hollywood on Saturday with a new accessory, a spiritual guru. Was the hotel-heiress’ intention to change her party-girl image, start a new trend or just dangle another fashion accessory?Â
The party-loving socialite was joined by the guru said to be a Buddhist monk, as she paid a visit to the Bodhi Tree Bookstore, where she bought a number of self-help books including one entitled “The Path of the Painted Shaman.”
The oddball pair then headed to a nearby cafe, where they read through the guide before he appeared to bless her. The bearded guru, who was dressed in long red and orange robes, also urged Hilton to cleanse herself by giving away a diamond necklace to a lucky passer-by.
But this “Guru” that has supposedly come to help change Paris’ life is actually a Hollywood actor. His real name is Maxie Santillan, and he’s appeared in tons of films and TV shows including “My Name is Earl” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” According to IMDB, Maxie’s latest projects are all in “post production” so clearly he has some free time to hang out with Paris. What we don’t know for sure is did Maxie pull the robe over Paris Hilton’s gullible eyes or did the socialite hire the actor as a publicity stunt? One clue might come from Maxie’s MySpace profile quote, which reads, “Burbank can kiss my ass.”
WTF is wrong with her???
Ok, let’s assume she actually thinks this guy is for real. Did she *think* nobody was going to check into who he is??
On the other hand, let’s assume she’s trying to pull a fast one on people by trying to trick everyone into thinking she’s *being enlightened*.
She only comes off like a total dumbass either way. When will she go into obscurity????
You are so right on, with this comment. I was going to say the samething myself.
Given that this was apparently all an Ashton Kutcher hoax, I wonder if all of the hatred and bile that spewed towards Paria Hilton will lighten up some.
Umm… Actually guys this is all fake! There is a new show on E! called “Pop Fiction” where in one episode Paris hires this guy to pose as a guru to fool the paparazi that she is actually looking for spiritual guidance. The guru is actually a biker in San Fernando!! Avril Lavigne did it as well by putting on a pregnant suit (like the one Ellen Page wore in Juno) to add to the rumors she was pregnant.
