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.

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

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.�

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.
