NEW FAME FACTORY ENTOURAGE FOR THE 21st CENTURY

In "BFF," a group of 20-somethings of questionable intelligence -- and even more suspect hair -- cat fight for the supposed honor of joining HIlton's inner circle. An inner circle which, at least based on the first episode, seems to consist mainly of lumpy boyfriend Benji Madden, a portly Vegas promoter and hyper-effeminate Heatherette design duo Traver Rains and Richie Rich. As expected, the first episode dragged a bit in explaining the premise (think "Rock of Love" with less stripper, more party girl), introducing us to the contestants (Blond fake-baked silicon-enhanced intellectually-stunted Red Bull depository? Check. Wholesome cheerleader type? Check. Token troublemakers? Check. Sexually ambiguous Asian woman? Check.) and getting the gang all set up in their temporary home, BFF Mansion.
