VIDEO: Paris Hilton driving in a Land Rover ... with a shaman

Update: While Mrs. Hilton did buy a hybrid, Pop Fiction actually provided her with a Land Rover to pull the pranks.

Ladies and gentleman, Paris Hilton got her hybrid! On a recent episode of E! News, Paris Hilton is seen driving in ~~her new hybrid Yukon~~ a Land Rover with a shaman (also see video below the fold). A wha? It's all a part of a new TV show that premieres Sunday (March 9) on E! called Pop Fiction which pranks the paparazzi with staged events.

TMZ also has a spotting of the SUV but sadly TMZ also reports Mrs. Hilton was spotted in her Bentley a day later. We are glad Mrs. Hilton has decided to wear her seat belts correctly this time but we are disappointed to see she attempted to chew ~~gum~~ a mint, text on her cell phone and drive her hybrid Yukon, all at the same time because, according to the punch line of a large number of blonde jokes, this is simply not possible. Check out the galleries of the GMC Yukon hybrid below.

Dat, The stunt was over several days and included several cars. I plan a follow up when Pop Fiction airs tonight. She bought a hybrid for sure though! Here is the video I plan to add to the follow up post on her Pop Fiction appearance.

Everyone, I updated the article. I saw the show last night and a Land Rover was used for all the pranks. It was actually used by all the celebrities too. There were multiple pranks and the show clearly had multiple cars but they only used the Land Rover. I assume they cut a deal for product placement or it was the only car they wanted to add cameras.
