Paris Hilton is throwing out a challenge to 20 men and women who will compete in an MTV reality show to be her new BFF (best friend forever).
Paris unveiled the series, with the working title
Paris Hilton's My New BFF, during a news conference at a luxury home high in the Hollywood Hills on Thursday. Production on the 10-episode series is slated to begin in Los Angeles at the end of May, with an air date scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2008. Wannabe members of Hilton's entourage must submit their details to a web site,
http://www.parisbff.com, where online voters will decide their fate. The 20 finalists will move into a house with Hilton, and will learn from the master about "normal girl stuff," like fashion, parties and shopping.
The winner, joining a long list of trusty sidekicks such as Dr. Watson, Tonto and Karl Rove, will get "an all-access pass to the VIP section of the VIP section," Reuters reported.
