ABU DHABI // The TV star and socialite Paris Hilton will be filming an episode of her latest reality show in the capital tonight. The Hollywood-based celebrity - who rose to fame when she appeared alongside Nicole Richie in The Simple Life - is expected to draw a large number of fans to the Etoiles nightclub in the Emirates Palace hotel. She is also promoting her fashion brand, which is being sold in outlets around the country.

On her Twitter updates, she expressed her excitement about her trip to the capital and said: "My first time in Abu Dhabi, Huge!" Paris Hilton's My New BFF is the first international show of its kind to be filmed in the country. It is the fourth season of the reality TV series, which has already been a hit in both the US and UK. On her arrival in the UAE last month, Ms Hilton said: "A lot of people will realise I'm a brand and a businesswoman."
