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

I don’t know why people are being so negative about her having a reality show looking for a bff. That’s why it’s called ENTERTAINMENT people! Same thing as celebrities looking for love by having a reality show. I think it’s going to be entertaining.

Paris Hilton is so stupid how can she actually beleive that someone in that reality show is actually going to be her friend, oh please the ing only that they’ll want is to be popular and expect her to be buying them stuff and giving them money. they’re all going to be self-centered just like her. Why can’t they see wat this world is really about? and everyone else too why do you even care about the music they all talk about stuff that don’t matter and stuff that will just make your life miserable no matter how good it sounds, why do you think that many celebrities have problems(because they follow wat their music and everyone’s musics says) so you have a choice live like them or be succesful and live happy, think about it.

Are you kidding me? Who would sign up for this show just so they be HER bestfriend? Shes not royalty and even if she was why would we want to to learn from her of all people how to be a best friend? Isn’t this something someone would acquire not learn from someone else.

Seriously, can anybody remember the last time MTV played music videos? I rest my case! All they care about now is reality tv shows, which i hate, (though i think ‘america’s most smartest model’ is hilarious).

Really…The most famous porn star has a reality show, what is MTV thinking. Maybe the 36,000 people who saw her movie will be interested. Good luck MTV.
