Paris Hilton Lands $1m UK TV Show Deal

Paris Hilton is set to front a UK version of her MTV show Paris Hilton's My New BFF -- Paris Hilton's New Best Friend.

The 27-year-old hotel heiress is being paid $100,000 an episode for the show, which will feature Paris hunting for a Londoner to become her new pal and partner in crime.

A source reveals, "Paris is great on TV and bosses over here have been keen to snap her up for ages.

"Fronting her own show in the UK for the first time is a big risk but producers are confident they have got a ratings hit.

"They are shelling out a fortune not just on Paris but also on production costs."

The show will be filmed over the next couple of months and screened on ITV2 later in the year.

Paris' first reality show The Simple Life -- alongside pal Nicole Richie -- was a massive hit, pulling in 13 million viewers.
