Britney under Paris Hilton's wing

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have become so close since the pop superstar filed for divorce from Kevin Federline the two are now like sisters, according to Hilton's representative. The party pair have frequently been spotted out on the town over the past several weeks and according to Hilton's spokesman, Elliott Mintz, it's more than just a passing fancy. He tells TMZ.com the two are "really forming a bond" and that they're "becoming like sisters." Mintz claims 24-year-old Spears "looks up" to 25-year-old Hilton and that she's "extremely grateful" the socialite has taken her under her wing. Mintz says Spears' sexy new style, which consists of wearing barely-there skirts and cleavage-baring tops, has been inspired by Hilton. Downplaying reports of a fight between Hilton and Lindsay Lohan over the weekend, Mintz claims the three women have, in fact, created an alliance. He adds, "What I've observed is that we have three extraordinarily powerful women who generate a tremendous amount of attention, money and adulation and they're tired of other people trying to ride on their coattails and creating false drama."
