Everyone’s favorite vacuous heirhead, Paris Hilton, is starring in a new reality TV series aimed at helping her find a new best friend to make her look skinnier in comparison, especially now that Nicole Richie is pooping out babies and all that gross nonsense:

Slated to start shooting in May, the heiress, 27, has paired up with MTV to search for a sidekick on a reality show tentatively called Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.

Gag us in night vision, ugh.

While Hilton contends “there’s nothing that’s really hard” about being her best friend, she’s going to take the decision very seriously. “I going to be in my element in Los Angeles and really showing these women my life, which is completely different than The Simple Life.”

Contestants will live in a house with Hilton and she will teach them how to be her best friend, leading them through competitions of loyalty, endurance and “girl politics,” eliminating them one by one.

As for what she’s looking to get out of the 20 contestants, she says, “Someone that I just trust and not someone who’s going to stab me in the back — it’s happened a lot in this town. Just someone I can have fun with, someone who could be like my sister.”

Girl, we would happily stab you in the front.

We realize it can be hard to form lasting, worthwhile friendships with girls but, we wonder, would any of you ever sign up to be on Paris’ show? (In which case: Sign up here. Your dignity was totally making look kind of bloated anyway. We’re totally only telling you as, you know. A friend.) And how do you go about making girlfriends, exactly?
