Paris Hilton Is Looking for a New Best Friend

March 14, 2008

She’s happy with boyfriend Benji Madden, but Paris Hilton is looking for a new best friend.

Slated to start shooting in May, the heiress, 27, has paired up with MTV to search for a sidekick on a reality show tentatively called Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.

So, what does her current BFF, Nicole Richie, think? “Nicole is my best friend and my sister, so she understands — she’s at home with her baby,” Hilton told PEOPLE at the Hollywood Hills party to announce the series.

While Hilton contends “there’s nothing that’s really hard” about being her best friend, she’s going to take the decision very seriously. “I going to be in my element in Los Angeles and really showing these women my life, which is completely different than The Simple Life.”

Contestants will live in a house with Hilton and she will teach them how to be her best friend, leading them through competitions of loyalty, endurance and “girl politics,” eliminating them one by one.

As for what she’s looking to get out of the 20 contestants, she says, “Someone that I just trust and not someone who’s going to stab me in the back — it’s happened a lot in this town. Just someone I can have fun with, someone who could be like my sister.”

Aspiring contestants apply over the phone or on the Web site www.parisbff.com. – Scott Huver

Are you kidding me???? A reality show to find a best friend…how narcissitic is this????? What happened to Paris doing good for the world… all her charity work etc etc etc…. Thats right…those ideas flew out the window the next day when she was released, from her harrowing experience in Jail! This girl needs to go away… and stop promoting herself!

I know there are alot of “reality” shows out there, but what a waste of time! MTV should be about videos, MUSIC TELEVISION!!!

Mtv,what a joke!

Stacy March 14th, 2008

This sucks!I am so over Paris. She is not pretty and she is spoiled! Can we see some videos MTV?

Honestly. Lets keep elevating people who have nothing to give to this world other than looks (not even) and selfishness. We should keep putting shows like this on…so everyone can look up and admire a person that is a waste of time!!
Good going MTV. Why not add FLAVOR FLAV to your mix too!! He is another winner!

Thats awfully sad if she needs a reality show with perfect strangers to find her a best friend. Thats ridiculous!!! She needs to get a job b/c she is still losing her inheritance since her grandfather is giving 97% of it to charity so that leaves her with like maybe 4 million dollars and she goes through more than that in probably a year!! She’s a spoiled brat that needs a reality check!!!

You have got to be kidding me. She can’t be serious. Another desperate act for attention. Does MTV really think they are going to get people who watch this crap. This is almost as bad as A shot of love with Tila Tequila

Yeah, I mean let’s be for real. I guess MTV will do anything for ratings. That’s what this is all about. Ratings. The money. Understandably there will be a lot of leeches, money grubbers, naive young girls, vying to be Paris’ BFF. Honestly, any person worth their salt, wouldn’t even be bothered. Paris is washed up. Not to mention the only reason she’s dating Benji Madden is because she sees how Nicole R. has moved on with her life, i.e. live in boyfriend, new baby. She’ll be hitting her 30’s soon. What has she accomplished? Hmmm let’s see…Rug burns on her back and knees, an arrest record, and a sex tape. Damn Paris, Can I be your BFF?

She really needs to get over herself and doing something worthwhile for a change. I think she should have stayed locked up a lot longer and then MAYBE she would have come out a better person and realize that the world does not revolve around her! That show will definitely be a waste of air time.
