Paris Hilton: My New BFF – Meet The Wannabes September 4, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : TV , 2commentsAs Paris Hilton heads back to ITV2 to trawl the streets for a new BFF, I headed over to MTV to get the dirt on the American’s vying for a place on Paris’ friendship ladder.
Okay, so this series has already been shown in the US, so if you’re anything like me and didn’t know about the US version, DON’T go to MTV’s website or you’re be slapped with the picture of the person who won the show and is now hanging out with Miss Hilton. Doh!
Anyway, for you not in the know, below is a snap and paragraph about each wannabe… but who’s you’re favourite? I’m loving Zui!
Athena
The ultimate daddy’s girl from Long Island, N.Y., Athena is used to getting what she wants when she wants it. As the daughter of a retired soccer player and a former beauty queen, family comes first.. And fame a close second?
Baje
Baje is a Miami Beach babe and self-proclaimed diva who has plenty of opinions – and attitude – to go around. As a modelling agent, she feels she’s way too smart to be tied down to a man … or a woman. Yeah, I think that all the time love.
Brittany
Brittany is the quick-witted, sarcastic lead singer of a Las Vegas-based rock band, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she loves being the centre of attention and is on the hunt for fame.
Bryan
As one of two guys competing for Paris Hilton’s attention, Bryan will surely stand out. At 6′1″, the Worcester, Mass., native considers himself the hottest gay guy around when he goes clubbing in Boston. However, refusing to have a makeover in last night’s show could have seriously hindered his chances.
Corrie
Thinking of herself as a new-age diva for the new millennium, Corrie cites her aura and energy as the main reasons people are drawn to her. Of course, her passion for strutting her stuff in skimpy outfits probably doesn’t hurt. She didn’t really stand out for me, but I’m sure the boys will like her.
Erin
A vibrant publicist from Miami, “Ms. Erin” – as her vanity license plate states – loves all things fabulous … and the more expensive the better. Whether she’s on the prowl for hot dates with handsome Jewish bachelors or just out on the town with friends, she’s always dressed to the nines with picture-perfect hair. Erin’s spot-on fashion sense, bubbly personality and talkative demeanor have led her to proclaim that she’s the “plus-size Nicole Richie.” But will Paris Hilton agree?
Francisca
Francisca is a feisty Latina who is extremely proud of her Mexican heritage. She absolutely loves the attention her job as a Hooters girl brings her. But while the Houston native tries her hardest to always act like a lady, sometimes her nasty temper gets the best of her. That same aggressive attitude, however, allows Francisca to be a fierce defender of her friends. Is that what Paris needs? Another bodyguard?
Kayley
An incredibly honest and frank girl, Kayley is the granddaughter of Hollywood screen legend Clark Gable. Err, wow! She entered rehab as a teenager and claims that her sordid life is an open book. Sound’s like a Nicole Richie in the making to me… celeb father – check, stint in rehab – check.
Kiki
Kiki is her own biggest fan. A judicial assistant from Miami, she considers herself “fabulous,” “hot” and “the bomb” — and she’s unlikely to run out of over-the-top ways to praise herself anytime soon. If Paris wants to scream at her to come back down to Earth as much as I do, I can’t see her lasting long.
Lauren
As a beauty school student, Lauren is a laid-back Los Angeles girl who tends to be spacey. While most girls put their friends first, she is very candid about the fact that men rule her life. When a cute boy is in the room, Lauren wants all eyes on her. Well, I‘d say the fact that she looks a bit like The Hills‘ Lauren Conrad will stand her in good stead!
Michelle
Standing tall at 5′11″, Michelle is a curvy blonde who loves makeup, modelling and dating. A broadcast intern, the Houston hottie is tired of people thinking she’s shallow and fake just because of the way she looks. Shame then, that she wouldn’t let Paris’ stylists get their mitts on her barnet – clearly not a good move for a wannabe model?
Natasha
A hardcore headbanger from North Bergen, N.J., Natasha is a master manipulator who strives to live the rock star lifestyle. The tough-as-nails metal head works as a massage therapist while setting her sights on recording an album. I love her already.
Onch
Onch, whose favourite colour is “rainbow,” started his own business designing jewellery for hipsters and celebrities alike. The colourful bisexual boy from Hacienda Heights, California., loves rubbing elbows with the rich and famous, and I want him to be my new BFF if it doesn’t work out with Paris!
Shelley
From Deer Park, Texas, Shelley is an incredibly shy and sensitive girl who does her best to avoid drama and confrontation. While very confident about her appearance, this boy-crazy fashion fan doesn’t have a serious boyfriend. In fact, Shelley is a virgin, and she has only recently started taking an interest in partying. Well, I’m not quite sure how she will fit into Paris’ hectic, boy-crazy partying lifestyle?
Sinsu
Sinsu is a jet-setting New Yorker who claims she can get absolutely anything she wants with the mere flash of her smile. This self-proclaimed “cougar in training” is a natural born performer, having tried her hand at acting, singing and being at the the fashion forefront. An attention seeker through and through, Sinsu is always on the lookout for the next posh club that could help her climb up the social ladder. Shame she’s already doing my head in then.
Trisha
Valedictorian of her high school class in Schwenksville, Penn., Trisha is a big-time overachiever who was president of every after-school club imaginable. Working as a magician’s assistant — yes, really — she wants to be a role model for girls. Yawn.
Vanessa
Vanessa A polite and friendly receptionist originally from Alaska, Vanessa once dubbed her circle of friends “Vanessa’s army.” Now living in Mount Vernon, Wash., she would love to get some serious fashion advice from Paris Hilton, as she finds her own style very safe and boring. Her clothing choices aside, Vanessa is incredibly spontaneous and wants a BFF that will go on a variety of adventures with her. I’m sure Miss Paris is always up for adventures!
Zui
Zui is a wild rocker chick from Woodbridge, Va., that has a natural knack for trashing hotel rooms and loves being photographed. She already considers herself an internet celebrity, and this loud and crazy girl thinks it’s time for Paris Hilton to shake up her group of friends… err, did anyone tell Zui that Paris was dating Benji Madden when this was filmed… so her circle was in the process of expanding! Still my favourite though.

The Brad and Jen of the backstreets of Britain, Jordan and Peter have officially announced their break up. Sob!
David Archuleta shares his name with a Japanese-based hip-hop vocalist and middleweight kickboxing champion. Amusingly, the two couldn’t be farther apart in terms of talent. We checked the American Idol (almost) out in Manchester last week…
It seems Kate Moss is not the unique style icon we all thought she was, the model actually gets her inspiration from another celebrity. But whose style is getting Miss Moss all excited? Is it Victoria Beckham? Nicole Richie? Maybe even Vanessa Hudgens? No its actually ageing Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood! Crazy!
You’ve got to love Heidi Klum. Only she would have a trailer trash wedding and it be proclaimed as a total fashion hit, when poor Britney’s real life trailer park wedding a few years back, was labelled as about as chavtastic as you could get. Crazy
Star Trek boldly went where no one had gone before this weekend when JJ Abrams prequel finally made it to the big screen. It may have grossed $76 million in America alone but is the film worth the hype?
Well, well, well boys and girls, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for…
FemaleFirst’s Band Wars 2009 is now open for entries and we want YOU!If you’re in a band, or you know someone in a band who might want to get their little mitts on a weekend at a top London Recording Studio, some promotion from Momentum PR and the chance to get your hands on some Glamour Kills merch; then look no further… because July 12 is your chance to sort it out!

Things just don’t seem to be getting any better for Lindsay Lohan after she was interrogated by immigration officials in Canada at the weekend, who considered banning her from the country because of her drink driving convictions.
Just when we were all worried that Lady Gaga was too ill to play anymore UK shows this year, our fears were banished as she announced her plans to pack up her (rather large) wardrobe and head over to good old Blighty. Horrah!
James Bond is a British treasure that has thrilled audiences for over forty years but Will Smiththinks he the best black Bond. Err, just a little point James Bond is British so the Yanks can just stop trying to hijack a concept that has worked well since the sixties.
Star Trek is boldly going to go where no man has gone before for the very first time this week with the release of the new movie. So take a look at the Enterprise’s new look and sexy young crew.
In the lead-up to their highly-anticipated new album ‘Let The Dominoes Fall’, Rancid will be releasing online webisodes. This is a series of online video episodes that document and provide some background to the making of the album.

>Lady Gaga might be the envy of many a popstar at the moment, but she has revealed that the secret to her success was writing her hit Just Dance in 10 minutes. Nice to see you work hard to perfect your craft Gaga!
Poor > Britney Spears, it seems to be one thing after another for her. A woman has been arrested after been found peering through windows of the star’s home while wearing khaki clothes. The woman clearly wasn’t a professional stalker though or she would have known Britney was away on tour at the moment and not at home!
Could our favourite quirky designer be heading to the high-street? Yep, apparently > Henry Holland is heading to Debenhams to design a range for the younger market. Not to pick holes in this plan, but Holland and Debenhams? Not exactly a match made in fashion heaven is it?!
It seems that the American film industry couldn’t possibly have >Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince released as the same time as the rest of the world that they have pushed the release forward two days to beat everyone to it!
If you love a bit of that fox Charlie Simpson you will he overjoyed to hear that > Fightstar will be taking over FemaleFirst on Monday… But that’s not the most exciting thing, oh no, the guys will be answering all the questions you want answering, and will even be giving a lucky handful a call during Monday afternoon to answer your questions face to face, okay, well more like voice to voice, but still… ARGH! How exciting! Send your phone number and question to fightstar@femalefirst.co.uk

We’ve got to admit, cosy little duets do make us do a little bit of sick in our mouths, but when we heard Nicole Scherzinger was roping in her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton for a duet, our jaws well and truly hit the floor. I mean, Kylie and Jason we can understand, but a racing driver taking to the mic… next thing we know, Nicole will be pitting herself against Jenson Button…
If you’re anything like me, I’m sure you have a weird attraction to the shocker that is Marilyn Manson, so I was hardly surprised when I heard the stunning Evan Rachel Wood was going back for more. Can’t she just let the rest of us have a go?
We’re used to hear celebrities banging on about how great and creative we are so Sienna Miller’s latest comments make a refreshing change. The actress who has a fashion label with her sister Savannah Miller has admitted she isn’t much of a designer saying, “I can barely draw a stick man, let alone a frock.” We like your honesty love!
That Kate Moss is a busy bee. Fresh from launching her new Topshop collection, not to mention promoting herself and the store stateside, she’s now found time to be sandwiched between Justin Timberlake and Marc Jacobs. Yep, our Mossy has gone and landed a plum Vogue shoot, with two of the most interesting men in the world of fashion. Sigh…
It seems that the Ghostbusters nightmare is about to become a reality as Dan Aykroyd has revealed some details about the new plot. A new team of Ghostbusters, jumping through time this isn’t Doctor Who! Leave this cult classic well alone.
As most of you all know by now, over at FemaleFirst HQ we love to honour a good song every so often, and after hearing The Cure’s Boys Don’t Cry on the radio this afternoon, I thought it was about time that we gave them some recognition. Go on kids, learn something today…
Last weekend saw the long awaited return of Britain’s Got Talent, and as per usual there was the usual bunch of idiots who thought they were incredible but sadly, just weren’t. That was until we saw Susan Boyle that is… i mean, WOW, what a hero. She get’s my vote.

Now I know that everyone seems to be taking a shot at Lady Gaga at the moment, and the beast that is Mr Alan Donohoe has only been calling her a prostitute… come on mate, just because people want to see her naked and people tell you to put your clothes on…!
When we heard that Michael Jackson was planning to show up at Jade Goody’s funeral, we were a little baffled to say the least, I mean, I’ve never seen them falling out of an Essex club at four in the morning… However, don’t panic, they weren’t secret BFF’s and the Wacko won’t be heading to Jade’s funeral this weekend either.
Frankie Delgado looked like the potential suitor to prise Rihanna away from Chris Brown, but he dashed our hopes when he dismissed reports he’s the new man in Rihanna’s life. Oh well, we’re sure she’ll find a non wife-beater super soon.
Those Rapper types are never short of some “beef,” so I was hardly surprised when The Game challenged chart rival Bow Wow to another video game war as the follow up to their 2008 battle. Why, oh why can’t those boys just get along?
Madonna might find herself been a real hands-on Mum if her adoption of three year old Mercy goes ahead as fiver of her staff including two nannies have just walked out. Two personal assistants and a chauffeur have also quit. One complained about being on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Wonder if she had to wipe the singers bum too.
I knew there was a reason that we like to spend as much as we do! Apparently ladies, it’s all down to our menstrual cycle and at certain points during it, we are unable to control our urge to splurge. Never has a study made me smile so much, Topshop here I come…
Transformers actress Megan Fox wants to be seen as a serious actress rather than just a piece of big screen totty. However appearing semi naked on the front of Empire magazine isn’t really going to help her case to be taken seriously… put some clothes on love!

It seems that Lindsay Lohan has finally listened to all the people who have slated her movies of late, she is thinking of giving up acting for a modelling career. Hooray at last this mediocre actress is getting off the big screen and let’s face it no one is going to miss her.
It seems that teenage favourite Zac Efron will not be footloosing it up any time soon as he has left the remake of the 1984 classic. It seems that the musical is getting a bit repetative for the young star his girlie fans will be haertbroken…bless!
Spandau Ballet are jumping on the old reunion bandwagon as they announced plans to get back together. Gold anyone?
We’ll admit, we didn’t take his fashion intentions seriously in the beginning, but now it seems that Kanye West is going all out to prove us wrong. First he goes and attends every FROW imaginable and now he appears to be forming a budding friendship with Christopher Kane. Good god, he may actually be serious about this industry after all!
My my that Marc Jacobs moves fast! Barely a week after announcing his engagement to boyfriend, Lorenzo Martone, apparently the fashion designer extraordinaire is planning to adopt a baby girl. How very chic.
You’ve got to love Fergie and her little rants. This time she’s slammed celebrity fashion designers for pricing their clothing ranges too high, and putting them out of reach from fans. To be fair she has a bit of a point, considering her collection starts at around £50 a pop, Victoria Beckham would be well advised to take notice!
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so Kate Moss must be seriosuly chuffed that Cameron Diaz wants to copy her hairstyle. Yes, you heard right, the Charlie’s Angels star wants to look like our very own Kate. I can’t think for the life of me why that is, surely it should be the other way around?!

Lady Gaga might have oodles of sex appeal, but now it seems she’s really using the dirty word to shift some records after insisting her next record will be the “ultimate creative orgasm”.Oh, I wonder what her mother has to say…?
Rumours are rife that Angelina Jolie is pregnant. Again. The news comes after reports she has asked her stunt scenes in new film Salt be cut back. Can that woman not give her poor body a rest for a few minutes. If true this will be Angelina’s seventh kid and third born in just over a year. Do Ange and Brad not have a TV in the bedroom or something?
Forget that Slumdog Millionaire scooped eight Oscar, including Best Picture, it seems the movie has made a star out of little known Brit actress Freida Pinto as she looks set to leave the independent film behind for the glamorous role as a Bond girl… well who wouldn’t want to get up close and personal with Daniel Craig? Nice work Freida.

If you fancy giving your ears a taste of Lily Allen’s new album but don’t fancy actually paying for it then you’re in luck as she’s put the whole thing on MySpace for free… talk about giving it away!
It seems Madonna’s new relationship with model Jesus Luz is going well as she has introduced him to her kids. Call us sceptical but this just screamed publicity stunt to us. Madge’s new boyfriend is at just 22, 28 years younger than the singer and the fact he is called Jesus is bound to generate a few tabloid column inches. But what does Jesus get out of this set up? Well we hear since meeting Madge his modelling profile has received a massive boost and his fees have increased up to $135,000. Hmm we bet.
There are some things in life which make your day instantly a whole lot brighter, and hearing about them makes you grin like a Cheshire cat. Well, that was certainly the case when I heard about Lady GaGa’s plans to launch a fashion range. Humm…PVC and latex pants on sale and called fashion, now where have I seen that before? Oh yes, down my local S&M shop.
Lets face it Hollywood churn out all sorts of crap that they try to pass off as quality cinema but every once in a while a movie comes along that chances the face of that genre. Toy Story just happens to be one of those pictures and is one of cinema’s most influential movies.
