Paris Hilton’s lack of personality obvious on “New BFF”

By JEN HANCE

Everyone knows who Paris Hilton is.

Whether you are a girl who loves her fashion and clothing line, someone who likes her music and shows, or a guy who has seen the illustrious sex tape, everyone knows the hotel heiress. Many of us got more than our fill of the Hilton princess in her previous show, “The Simple Life,” with then-BFF Nicole Richie, but for those who haven’t, her new show could be just the ticket.

In the reality show “Paris Hilton’s New BFF,” contestants compete in ridiculous challenges to become Paris’ new best pal, but is it really worth it? Other than the obvious perks of “fame”, moolah and attention, what good is it to humiliate yourself on TV to be “friends” with Paris?

Hilton has a wide variety of different personalities to choose from in potential friends, with an emotional transsexual, a judgemental and slightly racist southern belle and a few girls with drinking problems all under one roof.

But it’s OK that all of these girls have such a range of personalities because it seems that Paris is lacking one herself.

While the heiress is in no way lacking style and beauty, she seems to be lacking the simple gusto it takes to be interesting. While most people would state how they feel about something and then explain it, Paris responds with, “That’s hot” or “That’s fake,” end of sentence. She’s about as interesting as her Paris Hilton blow-up dolls, which should make them seem more realistic…

In her “one-on-one” time she gives out as a prize in some challenges, the contestants get to spend quality awkward silences with Paris where, if they are lucky, they might hear a few three-word responses.

One contestant was so lucky that she was invited to have a sleepover and dinner prepared by Paris herself. Paris then undercooked some macaroni and cheese, toasted some waffles and after eating, they were off to bed.

With someone who is paid thousands of dollars to attend parties, one would think she could host a better sleepover than that. You could have more fun at a six-year-old’s slumber party. At least they play games.

So while Paris may say she’s looking for a new BFF, she may just be looking for someone who can make her a bit more interesting.

I know we sure are.
