Less than 40 people have showed up to audition to be Paris Hilton's best friend in her new reality show.

New York casting directors were reportedly disappointed by the meagre turnout for MTV's Paris Hilton's My New BFF.

The series aims to pit 20 aspiring It-girls against each other in a bid to prove they have what it takes to be the socialite's BFF (best friend forever).

A source told OK!: “There were less than 40 people there."

However, one auditionee revealed that an interesting mix of hopefuls had tried out, saying: "There were girls wearing matching pastel prom dresses with Swarovski crystal pendants and updos, ghetto-fabulous girls and two goth-inspired girls with bleach blonde hair, pale makeup, eyelash extensions and leather clothing.”

But one contestant was reportedly overheard saying that she “totally couldn't live in the house with Paris" because "she would be so annoying!".
