Even though production is scheduled to begin next month, it seems Paris Hilton’s new reality show may be hurting in the casting department.

Believing people would want to become her next discarded friend, the socialite has agreed to play nice with those who yearn to be seen by her side.  In Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, the hotel heiress will choose amongst 20 stalkers who will do their best to prove their loyalty to her.  (I’m guessing this MTV production will be something similar to A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila sans the sex.  Or at least, the bisexuality.)

Unfortunately, rounding up a pool of worthwhile candidates is apparently proving to be more difficult than it may have originally seemed.  A recent New York casting call reportedly drew only 40-50 hopefuls in total.  What?  No one wants to be her dogs’ next pooper scooper?
