Amy Winehouse ruled out as possible Paris Hilton British Best Friend.

Paris Hilton has confirmed that she has ruled out Amy Winehouse as hopeful contestant for her "British best friend" at the launch of her new TV show.

The 27-year-old heiress said the aim of ITV2's Paris Hilton's British Best Friend was to find someone "who had a fun personality someone who was real, someone who looked like they could be a lot of fun, someone I could trust and Someone who enjoys life".

Asked whether Rehab singer Amy, 25, was considered, Paris said: "I love her music but I don't know if I could handle that lifestyle."
The show, starting in the UK this Thursday, sees 12 young hopefuls battling to become Paris's official 'British best friend'. The contestants complete various tasks and at the end of each show Paris dismisses the person she thinks is the least capable of being her 'BBF'.

The first episode sees Paris fly to London to meet the contestants, who stay in a mansion complete with pink carpets and photos of the US socialite on the walls.

"There's a lot of advantages to being my best friend because I'm a lot of fun, I travel the world, I have a great time, especially when I come to London," she said.
The winner from the group of contestants - made up of 11 women and one man - has yet to be announced, but Paris claimed they were now "best friends".

Although she said her time in London taught her slang terms such as "minger" and "fit" she failed to answer correctly when asked to name the British Prime Minister, claiming she thought it was Gordon Ramsey.
