Paris Hilton rewarded for drug bust with a new reality show

Because there is no justice in the world, the New York Post is reporting that everyone’s favorite TV star (wait, no one likes her, so what is going on here?), Paris Hilton will get her own show on the Oxygen Network. Oh, never mind, I thought she was going to be on TV. What’s that? Oxygen is a real TV channel? Umm, okay then…

Paris Hilton has landed a new reality show for the Oxygen Network and intends to show the world she’s not a dizzy blonde, as she’s been portrayed on previous shows. A source said, “This isn’t ‘The Simple Life,’ where she played a campy version of herself. This show will give viewers a glimpse of the real Paris and her life, which is sometimes quite amazing.” Cameras were not following Hilton during her August arrest in Las Vegas, but they could capture her carrying out the community service she was sentenced to for cocaine possession.

So she played a “campy version of herself” on The Simple Life, huh? Thank you for insulting everyone’s intelligence, Mr. source. And how on Earth did Lindsay Lohan not get this gig? Oh yeah, because unlike Paris, LiLo is in rehab or jail depending on what day it is. In all honesty, this show with Paris Hilton could actually be fun, but only if she keeps dating her current boyfriend.
