I’ve said it before and I’ll probably be forced to say it again: no one does self promotion like Paris Hilton. America’s heiress seems to have a talent at everything from making millions of dollars just hosting parties at the hippest clubs around the world to mock-political campaigns that bring Paris tons of her second favorite thing, publicity.
Hilton seems to have what we all crave the most, the perfect balance of making truck loads of money doing things that are fun while grabbing the attention of the entire planet and her latest venture is no exception. Who wants to be “Paris Hilton’s New BFF” is the latest offering from the eldest Hilton daughter which kicked off on MTV September 30th. It must have been one busy episode because Paris was true to form:
“Five of the potential BFFs got the “TTYN” (yes, talk to you never) last night as Paris started her best friend competition.”
Besides the antics of young women desperate to befriend a celebrity, “Paris Hilton’s New BFF” also features a new single from the heiress herself. The theme song is titled “My BFF” and debuted on Seacrest’s morning show as a single Tuesday morning. Of course if you can’t wait for the next episode to hear Paris’ single you can check it out here.
Some highlights, that the show is sure to have? Plenty of perky blonds, backstabbing and probably even a little hair pulling in the quest to get a tiny bit closer to a permanent place in Paris’ exclusive entourage. Of course no show is perfect and even “Paris Hilton’s New BFF” is going to be missing a few things, like:
“A late-night moment of existential despair when Paris realizes that in embracing the trappings of celebrity at the expense of any personal growth she has doomed herself to an empty life in which she will never truly know love or experience a transcendent moment that comes from giving of oneself in service to a larger cause.”
What? You mean to tell me there are things that complete fanatic adulation and a fat bank account can’t cure? Well there goes my oh-so-happy dreams of fame and fortune.
