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 can’t believe MTV is wasting their timr on this. Why don’t they just show music videos during this time slot….

This is really sad. A reality show to find a new BFF - coaching the contestants, and training them HOW to make Paris happy enough for them to be honored with the moniker BFF. Reality TV has hit a new low…

Do you really think putting girls on a reality tv show isnt just going to go on the show for TV???? Not to be her friend!

These crap TV shows are such a joke. One of her upteen dogs can be her new BF. No one could ever pay me enough money to even be in the same room with this embarrassing moron, let alone be her BF. When they were giving out brains she thought they said “trains” and told them to put hers in the basement. What a complete, self-absored, worthless idiot.

Gag me! Remember when Paris got out of jail she vowed to do really good things with her life that would help people, is this that kind of thing?
