Paris Hilton's TV Hunt For Pal to Hit Dubai
AFP ^ | 6/2/09

American party girl Paris Hilton is taking her TV reality show and a hunt for a new best friend to the distant shores of Dubai, and will have to tone down some of the progam's racier aspects.

"Paris Hilton My New BFF - Dubai" will be modelled on her raunchy MTV series in which Hilton tests women to see if they could be her best friend forever (BFF), industry daily Variety said Tuesday.

As in the US version, Hilton, 28, will put a group of women, half from the Middle East and half from elsewhere but living in Dubai, through their paces to see if they are compatible. But in a nod to the stricter, more conservative values of the United Arab Emirates, alcohol, usually a staple of such reality shows, will be banned.

"And the production has promised to adhere to local cultural sensitivities. Swearing, sexually explicit conversation or risque clothing will be kept to a minimum," Variety said.

The program, which will be produced in a deal between Lionsgate, Ish Entertainment and Dubai-based Uniqon, still has to be approved by the UAE authorities.

I’d trust our foreign policy to her over who we actually have in charge.

I have a strong suspicion that this is going to end ugly for Paris and the producers.

The Tehran episode is where you might offer more concern for her well being.

There's always the possibility that some US sailor might mistake Paris for one of the thousands of Russian prostitutes cavorting around the nightclubs of Dubai and offer her 300 dirhams for an hour of fun.
