Paris Hilton’s My New BFF 2: auditions have ended

Brett Lazar, a casting associate for MTV, reported on the production process of the second season of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF:

Just as I thought, the castings were a great success. The turnout was amazing, as the lines of hopefuls coated the sidewalks before they were allowed to enter the venues. The individuals who were auditioning were filled with excitement and were composed of very diverse individuals which always makes for good television, ESPECIALLY for reality shows. A lot of great pictures were taken and the interviews ran smoothly and according to plan. We were able to sign up a ton of people who were unique in their own ways which was great. Now, the next step is to take all of the footage and interviews we had compiled and bring it over to MTV. There, we will vote on who we think has what it takes and eliminate those who we feel do not. When this list is complete we will send it over to Paris herself, where her and her team will take a look at her potential cast members. We will then wait on her approval, and lastly contact the finalists and give them the details of the next steps that will be taken.

I think it would be fun to get involved in something like that. I’d have gone for it, but frankly, I would not have been selected because I am straight. There is an anti-straight-male sentiment for that theme, it seems. I also knew nothing about fashion, but I do know what doesn’t work, so those would have been things I would have had to learn. I read some Paris Hilton books and that is about all I know about fashion, what I learned in those books. *LOL* I would be very curious to see what they would do to me in terms of a make-over, though.

I could see it now. “Okay Charlie, we’re going to make half your hair platinum blond, and the other half jet black, okay?” and she will say it with a slight smile/grin but otherwise straight face.

I wonder how she is going to address the “I can only have one true BFF” statements when she has 2 or 3 or 4 or so already. I see she modified the British one to BBF instead of BFF, which worked.

It’s good the new show’s casting is a success. Hope this Paris BFF2 will be a success, too. Go, Paris!
