Anyone Interested In Becoming Paris Hilton's Best Friend?

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton is making a comeback in the reality TV business with a new show which was just approved by MTV.

It hasn't been long since the rumors sparked, and MTV just announced on Thursday that it has greenlighted a new reality competition series with the working title "Paris Hilton's My New BFF."

Now that Nicole Richie is busy being a mom, the former "Simple Life" star threw out the challenge to 20 men and women who will compete in the MTV reality show to be her new "BFF" (best friend forever). The contestants are set to live in a house where they'll learn how to live like a celebrity from none other than Paris herself. Viewers will be able to vote on potential contestants via a Web site ParisBFF.com beginning today.

Besides her role as their teacher, the 27-year-old socialite will also serve as an executive producer on the series, which is set to begin production in Los Angeles in May with an eye on a fall premiere.

"It's undeniable that the world is always talking about Paris Hilton, and the same could be said about MTV," Brian Graden, president of entertainment for MTV Networks Musical Channels, said Thursday. "Paris is one of the most searched icons on the Web…Now MTV will reveal the life of Paris, turn her fans into friends and see what it takes to get close to one of the world's most well-known personalities."
