«IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE»

Paris Hilton has said she studied the culture of Dubai to prepare for the Middle East version of her reality show. At the launch of the new edition of her Paris Hilton's My New Best Friend Forever series in Dubai, the 28-year-old said: "I wanted to know everything about this place first because I wanted to make sure everything was OK - I just want to respect everyone here."
The fame-loving Hilton promised to dress conservatively and said her Dubai-based MTV series will be open to women only.
The show's producers insisted there would be no finger pointing or laughing at anybody."I expect to learn a lot here. It's a completely different world," Paris also said. 22 contestants will try their best to become Paris' new BFF in the 20 days she will spend in the Emirates.
