DJ AM is "so lucky to be alive."

The celebrity spinner sent the sentiment via text to Paris Hilton, who relayed the message during an appearance on Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show.

"All of the love and support means a lot to him. He's such a good person," said Hilton of her longtime friend, who barely escaped a deadly plane crash.

"I think God saved him."

Guess what tonight is?!

The premiere of Paris Hilton's new reality show My New BFF! How pumped are you?

Now if the casting special that aired a couple weeks ago didn't get you totally excited, Paris unveiled the theme song for her special series today on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM show. And it's conveniently located below for your listening pleasure.

While Paris' effort is more tolerable than a Heidi Montag track, we gotta say it's not as fun as we would have expected from the hit recording artist behind "Stars Are Blind." In fact, it comes across way needy and kinda Disney Channel-y. Maybe they should have just used The Hills' theme song. (Fact: you can never have enough "Unwritten.")

Could this be a sign that My New BFF isn't going to be that good? Gasp!

Posh and Paris got all PVC'd out this weekend.

To promote her perfume, Victoria Beckham wore thigh-high, heel-less $6,000 Antonio Berardi boots (and was still able to walk in them). Posh knows how to sell. Would we care that she was launching a fragrance if she hadn’t worn such ridiculous shoes? Definitely not.

Meanwhile, Paris Hilton hit up a private screening for her upcoming movie musical, Repo! The Genetic Opera. And to prove she’s ready for an “edgy” role in which she wears a black wig, P. got all decked out in some leathuh. Just ignore the sad face—she's actually really excited about her new look.

So we just want to bring this reemerging trend to your attention and suggest not following it unless it’s part of a Halloween costume.

Somewhere along the line, Paris Hilton has morphed into the leading muse of our time.

We've already ogled last year's instant classic Paris Hilton Autopsy; now may we present the oeuvre simply titled Paris, 2008.

Comprised solely of images snipped from porno magazine, Jonathan Yeo's work is now on display in New York at a temporary exhibit by the London-based Lazarides Gallery running through Oct. 10. The Hilton collage joins a similar porn-powered portrait of President George W. Bush, as well as images of Tony Blair and Andrew Lloyd Webber in the show, titled "The Outsiders."

While the Hilton piece isn't for sale—noted British artist Damien Hirst snapped it up for an undisclosed sum—Hilton completists can still plunk down $20 for a poster of Paris, 2008. Get 'em while they're hot.

If you consider BFFs to be two people who, above all else, never pass judgment on each other, well, we don't have a show for you.

However, if you believe true friendship comes from living in the shallow end of the pool called life, then you've come to the right place for a preview of MTV's reality show Paris Hilton's My New BFF, premiering Sept. 30.  

"If you guys are gonna hang with me, your look is gonna need an upgrade—big-time," Paris tells all her potential pals before serving up suggestions on how they can improve their appearances. 

So take a dip and let us know what you think. Will you be jumping back in for more, or will you simply swim over to the side of the pool that has more depth?

Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse are old news. At least to spammers, phishers and other online villains, who have attached their hopes—and pop-up ads—to Brad Pitt, Heidi Montag and George Clooney.

Pitt, Montag and Clooney are among the stars currently most used by cyber tricksters to lure users to sites rife with spyware, viruses and other system-clogging junk, according to the Internet security company McAfee.

Spears, Hilton and Winehouse are among the stars who used to be hot and now are not.

"We know in general that the bad guys are going for the most popular celebrities," says McAfee research analyst Shane Keats. "And we know Paris Hilton has not been as much in the news this year as last year."

Paris Hilton may have nothing in common with the man she once referred to as that ""wrinkly, white-haired guy," but the same can't be said about his running mate, Sarah Palin.

It seems the heiress and the Republican V.P. hopeful both share a fondness for fashionable footwear by Naughty Monkey, per the Wall Street Journal. Apparently, when John McCain introduced Palin as his pick, she was sporting a pair of red peep-toe pumps with three-and-a-half-inch heels originally designed by the company for women in their 20s who go clubbing, um, kinda like Paris, who has been photographed wearing the brand's shoes.

Great. Given all the attention pigs with lipstick have received lately, you just know the pundits are gonna have a field day with this (naughty) monkey business.

We were beginning to worry about our pals Paris Hilton and Ryan Seacrest. She's struggling to find a BFF; he's saddled with Simon Cowell.

But now, happily, they have each other.

The two stars and their respective production companies, Paris Hilton Entertainment and Ryan Seacrest Productions, are joining forces to develop a new scripted TV series.

"Paris knows exactly how to have fun with herself. She works hard but doesn't take herself too seriously," says Seacrest.

The deal comes in the wake of Hilton's winking online presidential campaign, which has become a huge hit. Seacrest, Hilton and her right-hand man, Jason Moore, will produce.

The series concept is still being worked out, but Seacrest did offer one tantalizing clue:

"This show will be loud."

Paris Hilton may be in search of a new BFF on her latest MTV reality series, but the most famous heiress in the world confides to E! News that she's actually already found one.

"Benji [Madden] is my best friend," Paris said during a recent interview. "I'm the luckiest girl in the world."

But what of those pesky cheating rumors—specifically, that she was stepping out with MySpace founder Chris DeWolfe? Paris swears she and boy Benj have a grand time laughing it off.

"They are totally made up," says Paris, who declares that every minute she's not working on her MTV show, she's been on tour with Benji's band, Good Charlotte.
