If you thought Paris Hilton and Britney Spears were best friends, think again. They are Best Friends Forever.

The new chums spent almost the whole of Thanksgiving Week together in Los Angeles, confirming their recently-formed bond.

Britney hit the clubs throughout the week, starting with an American Music Awards after-party at Paris’ house.

The following night they even wore the same outfit, whooping it up at the newly-reopened hotspot Teddy’s.

The duo shopped in Malibu over the weekend, along with Brit’s oldest son, Sean Preston.

According to People magazine, a source says: "Paris was acting like Britney’s boyfriend. She opened doors for her, held her hand and even had her arm around Britney’s lower back."

The source continues: "Britney happily accepted Paris’ friendly gestures."

The pair have also been snapped partying in Las Vegas together.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "The girls were inseparable. Britney looked so happy. They hit the dancefloor at nightspot Tryst with a vengeance."

New home and job for Britney? - Nov 23 2006
As Britney Spears prepares to re-launch her career after splitting from K-Fed, the pop princess is rumoured to be looking for a new home and job.

The 24-year-old singer recently put the Malibu home she shared with K-Fed on the market for a cool $13.5 million and is now said to be looking at homes on both New York’s Upper West Side and an exclusive area in Miami, where properties can cost up to $29.5 million.

And, if the mother of two is indeed planning to trade up to more expensive new digs, then that could explain her recent trip to Las Vegas.

Britney hit Sin City on November 15 with her two sons, Sean Preston, one, and Jayden James, 2 months, plus an entourage of family members including her mom Lynne, dad Jamie, brother Bryan and retired manager Larry Rudolph.

In addition to working on her album and supporting her dad’s new restaurant venture, Britney is reportedly in Las Vegas to negotiate a lucrative 20-week, $15 million exclusive performance contract with the Palm’s Hotel & Casino, according to Star magazine.

Britney Spears is apparently so desperate to stop Kevin Federline cashing in on a raunchy sex tape, she is might leak the steamy video herself.

Brit’s estranged husband, who’s acquired the new nickname of Fed-Ex, is reportedly keen to sell the tape of the couple on honeymoon because he reckons it will earn him millions.

But the singer is so furious he plans to get rich from it, she has discussed putting it on the web for free with her friends.

Family friend Nyla Price, 55, told the Star: "Brit figures she’ll beat that sucker to the punch.

"Half of nothing is nothing, and that’s what her lying skunk of a husband will get if she gives that video away before he can find some sleazeball to buy it.

"He says it’s four hours long. But it’s more like 45 minutes. And he’s the only one that comes out of it looking stupid."

Adult film collector David Hans Schmidt claims Kevin offered to sell him the tape.

Britney’s new friend, Paris Hilton, who she partied with in Las Vegas this week, has herself managed to recover her career after her sex tape was leaked.
