Paris Hilton has had a spiritual awakening. She was seen in a trance, wandering the streets in her bra and panties and without her beloved chihuahua, Louis Safer, under her arm. She was escorted by a guy who looks way too much like a drugged-out Pat Moriata for our sanity. 

TMZ has the video, but the joke was on them... and the rest of the paparazzo:

Paris is seen in the video with a shaman, whom she says had "changed [her] life." He has her give a diamond necklace to a total stranger at an LA coffee shop because "the greatest gift is to give." The shaman is full of shit, as the frumpy non-celebs know at first inspection during Parishaman's stop at a spritualist bookstore. The Huffington Post describes how the media had a field day with this story over the last week, with several sources outright calling Hilton brainwashed and crazy. Well, it was about time somebody took these fucksticks to task:

Turns out, as some outlets later discovered, the "mystic" was an actor named Maxie Santillan Jr., who has appeared on CSI and My Name Is Earl. And though some accused Hilton of getting Punk'd, the joke's on them: The entire scene was staged for a new show from Punk'd producer Ashton Kutcher premiering Sunday on E! (10:30 ET/PT).

No word on whether Paris asked for the necklace back when the shoot was over.
