“Paris Hilton Is My BFF” by Vanessa Fontana

One of Paris Hilton’s BFFs, Vanessa Fontana, wrote an interesting sort of essay about Paris and My New BFF. Check it out:

“I’m just a normal, small town girl from Alaska. Being a part of Paris Hilton’s show My New BFF motivated me to go after my dreams, and here I am, living my dream in LA. People know who I am now. I’m just trying to be a positive role model and keep a good head on my shoulders.”

“My mom’s the one who heard about the show, and she said, “Hey Vanessa, you should try to be Paris Hilton’s new best friend.” I blew it off for about a week, but one day I uploaded a picture of myself to the Paris BFF website. Casting called me the next day, saying they thought I was pretty and wanted me to come to a live audition in LA.”

Nice to know that Paris hasn’t cut Vanessa out of her life. And unlike a certain other contender, she doesn’t have to be bitter and making bitchy remarks.

i found it odd that now vanessa says she barely new anything about paris before she aduditioned. that is definetely the opposite impression she gave throughout the show. from the first episode she was singing paris’ praises and even told paris she was totally there for her the first night she snitched to paris about what other people were saying and doing…

makes you wonder what’s true…especially now that she’s trying to make a career in LA from being on the show.

time will tell if paris slowly cuts her off now.

but at least the article only said good things about paris and no bitchy comments towards paris.

oh yeah, she might also be changing her tune now to defend against her stalker-image. of course all shows cut the scenes fro production value, but they can’t make up words comingout of the contestant’s mouths. and we all saw the leechy gushing and behavior that all the contestants warned paris about… so i guess we’ll see…

If she really had the stalker image then Paris wouldn’t keep in touch with her. Those reality shows producers have a way of making a person look like whatever they want them to. She seems like a nice girl. Maybe she’s just a friendly person and it comes through as gushing. I don’t think she like the way the shows eidtors made her look. She has a myspace http://myspace.com/vanessafontana22
and on it you can tell she’s a nice person and not the way she looked on the show.

I have known Vanessa since she was 2. I would feed her strawberries through my fence, as we lived next door. She and her family are all good people. Hard working, honest, and cute. That’s the Fontanas! And if you say anything mean, her dad will rip your nose off!
