Paris Hilton talked about her new reality series, �Paris Hilton's My New BFF.�

As for other BFF Nicole Richie, Hilton says �Nicole is more than a best friend. She�s like a sister since we�ve been best friends since we were two� She hasn�t seen the show, but she�s looking forward to it.�

MTV will premiere �Paris Hilton�s My New BFF� on Tuesday, September 30th at 10pm ET/PT with 10 one-hour episodes.

Hilton is determined to find someone who can keep up with her non-stop doings in entertainment and business.

Being the ultimate puppet master, Paris handpicked sixteen girls and two guys to travel to Beverly Hills to compete in tests of loyalty, endurance and compatibility with the media sensation as they are blindfolded, interrogated and quizzed on their Paris Hilton knowledge.

In the end, only one will win the grand prize of saying �Paris Hilton is my new BFF.�

Fans can visit the show�s official site at http://www.parisbff.mtv.com for full episodes and recaps, sneak peeks of upcoming episodes, exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, a Paris personality quiz, cast bios and a weekly video vlog from Paris.

Hilton beamed on Extra when talking about her relationship with boyfriend Benji Madden. �We�re really happy. We just had our seven month anniversary. I�m really in love and excited to be in a great relationship.�

To celebrate Richie�s birthday this past weekend, Hilton says, �Benji, Nicole, Joel [Madden] and Harlow�We all went to dinner and had a nice family dinner�It was really sweet.�

Fans should know what qualities Hilton looks for in a best friend include, �Someone I can trust, who is going to be there for me, who I can tell anything to�Have a great time with.�

According to Hilton, the payoff for the winning contestant is to be her �best friend for life.� She adds, �It was just fun to meet people outside of Hollywood and the whole scene.�

Petra Nemcova Supports Somaly Mam Foundation

She�s no stranger to hardship (her fianc� died in the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, and she was seriously injured) so it�s no wonder Petra Nemcova is empathetic to charitable causes.

The Czech chick was spotted last night heating up the red carpet at the New Dreams Charity Dinner to benefit the Somaly Mam Foundation.

Jessica Alba Visits Cedars-Sinai

She�s been easing back into work mode with trips to the studio as of late, but on Wednesday (September 3) Jessica Alba had other plans on the agenda.

Looking cute in a pink and purple pastel ensemble completed with a matching scarf, the �Into the Blue� babe was spotted out visiting Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for what insiders tell was a routine check-up.

Meanwhile, as previously reported by Gossip Girls, Jessica and her hubby Cash Warren have been adamant supporters of Presidential candidate Barack Obama - recently attending the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Since that time, Cash blogged about their experience, telling: �This was our first trip as a family� It�s always nerve-racking for new parents to fly with their child because you never know if you�re going to ruin everyone else�s flight with a screaming baby. (To date, Honor has been a great baby. Rarely crying. Opting to express herself through simple Haiku�s or interpretive dance instead�yeah right. My girl�s got opinions. lol).�

Britney takes a break in Las Vegas

Britney Spears spent the weekend in Las Vegas, and the pop star was more about sun than sin. Just a week after ex-husband Kevin Federline enjoyed himself at several clubs in Sin City, Spears spent her Vegas weekend at the poolside relaxing.

Britney flew into Vegas on Saturday on a private jet and went to her posh villa at the Mirage Hotel and Casino, People reported. Her exclusive villa reportedly had its own private pool. On Sunday, rather than stay secluded, Spears reportedly hit up Bare Pool, sipping on bottled water and took in the Vegas sun in the VIP area.

�Her body looked great,� an onlooker said. �It looks like she�s getting her body back, back to the old Britney.� Britney, who was accompanied by a group of friends that included hairstylist and �Shear Genius� judge Kim Vo, reportedly stayed at the pool hotspot for around an hour.

Spears may have been looking for a getaway in Vegas but a familiar face, ex-boyfriend and photographer Adnan Ghalib, was also spotted at the Mirage.
