Brittany Flickinger has her chance.

But Paris Hilton is already set to star in a second season of Paris Hilton's My New BFF. Yes, this is what the former A-list celebrity has been reduced to.

According to www.parishiltoncasting.com, potential pals must be popular, jealous of Paris and in their 20s. Here's what the website says:

Do you long to strut into the world's most elite hotspots without a care in the world except how fabulous you are? Ever wish the velvet ropes didn't exclude you from the social circles of the A-List? How about the fantasy of jet setting around the world with the ultimate BFF, whose fierce style, charisma and star power is only matched by your own.

Paris is granting the opportunity of a lifetime to one girl or fabulous guy who has what it takes to join Paris Hilton's inner circle.

Doron Ofir Casting is enlisting only the Hottest Bitches and the most Fabulously Fierce Guys who are at least the age of 21 and appear under 30.

Sheree Whitfield and Kim Zolciak - two of the stars responsible for the huge ratings enjoyed by Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta - enjoyed a friendly pose-off on the red carpet at the opening of the W Atlanta - Buckhead yesterday.

Regarding their show's popularity, Zolciak told People Magazine:

"Our ratings are great because controversy sells, honey."

Hard to argue with that.

On February 2, turn the television to VH1 and toss your remote away. You won't need it for at least two hours.

From 9-11 p.m. on this evening, VH1 is premiering a pair of reality shows. We've already previewed For the Love of Ray J.

Preceding this debut, however, will be a follow-up to last year's classic competition, I Love Money.

Indeed, enjoy the following preview for I Love Money 2, which features stars such as The Entertainer, Milf and so many more!

Finding true love on TV is tough. - Bret Michaels

Despite this declaration, the former Poison frontman is at it for the third time, starring on Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels and sorting through drunken mess after drunken mess in order to see if his soulmate is on tour with him.

"If you want to know the true measure of a person, spend a week on the road with them," Michaels told celebrity gossip tabloid OK!

Bret Michaels has a lot of drinking to do before determining who to go home with on Rock of Love Bus.

So, did the singer end up with a life partner following the taping of this series? Maybe.

"I find what I think is my best chance for it," he said. "She's someone who can handle being out on the road, but she can still have fun. I think I did good."

The Real Chance of Love reunion airs on Monday night.

But you needn't wait until then to watch the most entertaining clip of the special.

Reportedly - tragically - the following footage won’t be included in the broadcast, but this online exclusive features scorned contestant Stalker presenting Chance with a clock. Its message, actually written on the time piece?

Time To Come Out.

From there, Stalker repeatedly accused Chance of being a “homothug.” It's classic. Check it out now.

Thanks to the appeal of Jason Mesnick, ABC has decided to keep airing two-hour episodes of The Bachelor for the rest of its 13th season run.

Mesnick, the single dad who was turned aside by DeAnna Pappas on The Bachelorette last summer, has brought in 8.7 million, 9.06 million and 9.9 million viewers in three episodes, respectively, up significantly from past years.

The figures are even more impressive against the competition the show faces in House, 24, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, How I Met Your Mother and more.

Then again, none of those shows boast this hunk ...

The formula is tried and oh so true:

Take one house, add a hanful of clinically insane, desperate women and sprinke in one bachelor musician.

The result, as Bret Michaels can attest to? Endless drama!

With that in mind, check out a preview for upcoming season of For the Love of Ray J. The fun begins on Monday, February 2.

Sherri Shepard has always made her affection for Dancing with the Stars clear.

Now, it seems the feelings might be mutual.

According to In Touch Weekly, the sides have talked about the talk show host appearing on March's eighth season of the competition.

"I'd love to do that show - I am such a fan!" Shepard told the tabloid. "Oh, my goodness! I am so in love with [Maksim Chmerkovskiy], but he's engaged! And Tony Dovolani's married! I mean, they're all freakin' taken! I just want to get a [paso doble] with somebody on that show!"

The remedy for a broken engagement for Jesse Csincsak? Hitting the slopes for a ski weekend with his fellow reality TV friends - and Holly Durst, a fellow reality TV reject who Matt Grant cast aside on The Bachelor!

Although Jesse Csincsak, who got dumped by The Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas last November following a whirlwind courtship and engagement, admits he is not really “focused on dating,” he's made a connection with this bachelorette:

“I have a great time with Holly,” says Jesse. “We’re both from Ohio, we both have a lot in common, and I think that we both really enjoy hanging out with each other.”

In fact, Csincsak took Holly Durst, along with other women from season 12’s The Bachelor and pals from The Bachelorette on a Breckinridge, Colo., ski weekend.

“It was awesome, man,” Jesse Csincsak said, “and it was cathartic."

Here's hoping it works out for these hotties. They deserve to find happiness after what they've been through. Click to enlarge some pics of Holly and Jesse below!

Two wholly opposite contestants made it through on American Idol last night:

1. Joanna Pacitti. Critics might consider this contestant to be a ringer. She signed a deal with Geffen Records in 2006 and even released an album. It tanked and she was released from the label in September 2007. Sang She sang “We Belong” by Pat Benetar and grew emotional when she received her ticket to Hollywood.

2. Leneshe Young. No previous professional experience here. Barely even a home. This 18-year old from Cincinnati sang an original song for her audition. Simon Cowell compared her to Leona Lewis.

Will Joanna Pacitti be your next American Idol?
