On last week's
Paris Hilton's My New BFF, the girls spent their last day in Las Vegas looking for guys to bring back to Los Angeles—only to find out that they're so far from Paris' “wall-to-wall men” specification. But that's not the focal point of the episode: last week was when enemies of the contestants dropped bombshells on all of them! (Well, not all of them.) In the end, it was
Kayley who was eliminated, in a move that surprised everybody.
Paris' reasons were simple: she couldn't afford to have a free-spirited a person like Kayley for her BFF. It wasn't really a judgment on the behavior of Clark Gable's granddaughter, however—no TTYN's on last week's episode. Some viewers might've preferred to see
Corrie go instead, with the surprising revelations, the flimsy rebuttal, and all that crying during the elimination.
Indeed, if Paris ultimately chose Kayley, she would've been outshined. Looking for news articles on the heiress over the past week, you'll realize that there are four pages of search results for stories that came up within the past 24 hours: Paris seen hooking up with her former squeeze Stavros Niachros, Paris wearing a dress that
High School Musical's
Vanessa Hudgens wore three days ago, you get the drill. Publicity-wise, it could work for someone who claims to be shedding her ditzy image. The elimination, however, was done with utmost dignity, and it seemed as if Paris didn't want Kayley to go; she just didn't have a choice.
After last week's episode, however, it seems Paris herself will be outshined by another
My New BFF contestant: Corrie. After those revelations last week, blogs and news outlets have been quick to dig through the archives, and they have found something. Before the episode aired, E! Online discovered that she appeared in a
Girls Gone Wild video—you know, those videos where girls flash themselves in front of cameras. Just five days ago, TMZ uncovered a photo shoot that she did for
Playboy, although under a different name. You might argue that the girl voted “fakest” in the show really has a lot to hide.
Tonight on
Paris Hilton's My New BFF, the five remaining girls—Corrie,
Vanessa,
Brittany,
Shelley and
Lauren—are asked to stage a fashion show, which means a chance for a makeover. Well, a makeover on the show isn't just any other makeover, and a few familiar faces will be making a return. That's tonight on MTV from 10pm.
