Best Foreign Friends?

Dubai is synonymous with glitz and excess – but can the Middle Eastern hotspot handle Paris Hilton?

The United Arab Emirates city will be the location for an upcoming edition of the reality series “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.”

Producer Michael Hirschorn said participants will respect the culture of the region, and will be “walked through in great detail what is expected,” adding: “I think some of the comedy will come out of the learning about the dress and the behavior.”

He said the plan is to build “My New BFF” into a global franchise, with Hilton searching for BFFs around the world.

Hilton, 28, previously filmed two seasons in Los Angeles for MTV and one in London for British television. The second season of the American edition premiered Tuesday.
