Given that it’s been almost two years since Paris Hilton first found her Dubai best friend, you would have thought she’d have been over to visit more often. But no, this week saw the first return from the model/actress/singer/brand/business woman/fashion designer/author/philanthropist/empire (her words) since 2009’s filming of the reality programme Paris Hilton’s Dubai BFF (which, of course, as you know, stands for Best Friend Forever).
Now, leaving all concern for the literal meanings of ‘best’ and ‘forever’ firmly at the door, Hilton has managed to accumulate four BFFs over the past few years through such shows. Finding a best mate through a television series might seem a bizarre method to make friends, but this is Paris Hilton and – as many stars have previously claimed – fame can be a somewhat lonely business. The Dubai show, which is finally now airing on MTV, saw 23 girls battle to become Paris’ regional right-hand woman and not receive the dreaded TTYN (Talk To You Never), Paris’ very own version of ‘You’re Fired’ (although fortunately without Trump’s chubby finger). But what exactly does being a Hilton BFF entail?
