Contrary to what Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan, the Olsen Twins, Brittany Flickinger or, more recently, Samuel Hextall might think, Paris Hilton is my new best friend.

She has a lot going for her and more. From beauty, brains and success, Paris has everything that women around the world envy.

Sigh.

And while many critics constantly bash this “underrated” socialite I, for one, just love her. Yes I do!

So it should come as no surprise that I can only hope that, someday, actresses like Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and all those other non-drinkers and sane stars will take a cue and follow the footsteps of this wonderful being.

With great…pleasure, here are just a few reasons why I just adore Paris:

5) Her movie career kicks butt: I’m still shocked that Paris has yet to be nominated for something other than a Razzie. Her performance in ‘One Night in Paris’ (from what I hear) was raw and real. According to those who have seen it, she’s a great actress. But it doesn’t stop there. In her more recent roles ‘The Hottie & The Nottie’ and ‘Repo! The Genetic Opera,’ Paris proves that she has talent beyond those certain “jobs” in the bedroom.

4) Her television shows: Again, Paris really knows how to treat people well. In both ‘Paris Hilton’s My New BFF’ and ‘Paris Hilton’s British Best Friend’, countless of Paris wannabees went through innumerable humiliating experiences (including ones that made them cry AND vomit) just to prove they were worthy of the socialite’s presence. Tragically, Paris seems to dump the season finale winner the moment the finale airs. Aw, BFF indeed!

3) Her intelligence: Okay so there isn’t much to say here. But “That’s hawt!” anyway.

2) Her “wild” ways: Just because she has seen and spent some time inside a jail cell, it doesn’t mean she deserved it! During those days, she had to endure life without a cell phone, a housekeeper and her credit card. Yup, it’s a hard life when you’re a socialite.

1) Her socialite status: This is why I really admire Paris. Sure she has a few of her own successful businesses under her belt but she couldn’t have done it without her high-profile last name. This means she actually had to work (a bit) to prove to people that she’s more than just brains and beauty. Hm, I’m assuming it’s still a work in progress?

As you see, my love for Paris is quite deep and…real. If I ever have children and they are remotely as successful, talented and beautiful as Paris or happen to portray the same moral standards as her, well then I will be sure to never have any.
