My thoughts on…Paris Hilton’s My New BFF
Remember the nightmare that was “The Simple Life?” Ok, sorry for dredging up that painful memory. Well Paris is back to make you question once more why you even bother watching TV anymore. Her new show “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF”, is a new reality show (dear God) where Paris seeks to find a, you guessed it, a new Best Friend Forever (obviously to fill the gap left by Nicole Ritchie). Not that BFF guys, and if you want proof, Paris says that she wants someone who’s “not going to screw me over”, so for those fellows seeking Internet fame needn’t apply. But even worse than news of this show is the fact that 85,000 people applied. 85,000 poor souls eager to snatch a fallen crumb from Paris’ table of undeserved fame, just to prove to themselves that they matter in this world.
This is one of those events that makes you wonder if there is a just and loving God. This is going to be aired on a network renowned for wholesome, well-scripted programs, MTV. You’d think she would’ve passed the BFF stage by now, being 27 and all. You know I’ve been bashing Paris for quite a while now. A few of my fellow bloggers, most notably Mad Bull, have even accused me of having a crush on her. As for that, I’ll devote a post to it soon. But even I’m starting to feel guilty of bashing her. Ok, she deserves a fair assessment. Let’s list her positives. She’s…pretty and…rich. Can’t think of anything else. Ok. Now for her negatives. Oh where do I start? Ok, the feeling’s back. I wonder what the winner will be doing, apart from typical spoiled heiress stuff like 24/7 shopping and talking down to common folk? Shooting the sex tape? Help her invent another stupid catch phrase? Take the rap for her when she commits DUI? Personally, I’d like it if she picked up a psycho as her BFF.
