Whether you love her or hate her, you must admit Paris Hilton is a cash machine. She makes so much money off endorsements and her own brand that if her family was to cut her out of her fortune, it would make little difference in her life.
Since Paris is trying to become BFF with Britney Spears again, she thought she'd offer her some advice--it was good advice too!
On Saturday night when the former pals hung out for Britney's 26th birthday, Paris took it upon herself to give the pop wreck some career advice.
Among the points Hilton made: Spears needs to cut back on her social life, she should revamp her entire management team, and, according to Hilton, ''only hire the very top agents, publicists, managers and assistants money can buy.''
A spy at the party also heard Paris say, ''Britney, you have to listen to people who truly are experts in entertainment. You can't be listening to friends, no matter how good or loyal they are, to tell you how to run your career.''
Paris also told Brit to pay more attention to the endorsement deals ''or else those will go away and you'll find it harder to replace them with new deals and products.''
Paris actually gave her some damn good advice, only problem is Britney doesn't like to listen to anyone but the voices in her head. She definitely needs a new management team though, hiring friends to manage your career has 'bad idea' written all over it.

Only a year ago,
Hot Britney Spears was the toast of the entertainment world after dumping her husband and making a triumphant appearance on "Late Show with David Letterman" looking fit and happy just a few weeks post-partum.
What a difference a year makes.
In the months that followed her sassy surprise visit to Letterman, the pop star began partying hard with Paris Hilton, was frequently photographed without wearing underwear, angrily shaved her head in apparent defiance of her mother and struggled with alleged drug and alcohol problems that resulted in her losing custody of her two baby boys to a man most assumed was the deadbeat parent of the ill-fated union.
But observers say Spears's stunning fall from grace has unintentionally been one of the most successful public relations campaigns in entertainment history as the Louisiana-born musician has become a household name the world over.
"Everyone's talking about her, everyone has an opinion, 'Gimme More' is being downloaded by millions of people - she's huge," Elaine Lui, a correspondent for CTV's "ETalk," said Tuesday in an interview from Vancouver. "It's been the mother of train wreck PR campaigns."
Seth Feller, president of the Toronto-based Word of Mouth PR, agrees.
"The kind of coverage that she's been getting over the past year is more than anything I've ever seen for any artist ever," Feller said.
The brisk sales of Spears's single, "Gimme More," seem to be proving the veracity of that old PR adage "there's no such thing as bad publicity." The song is the first single from her upcoming album "Blackout," slated for release on Oct. 30, and has been an iTunes darling since August.
The infectious dance song was still No. 1 on the Canadian iTunes website on Tuesday and No. 3 on the U.S. iTunes list.
But no high-powered PR agent is orchestrating this wildly successful public relations blitz. Spears currently has no representation after being dropped by her latest agent a few weeks ago - she's apparently ensuring she stays in the public eye all on her own.
The dawning of every day brings more sordid Britney news: on Monday night, for example, she was booked for an August accident in which she rammed into a parked car and then left the scene of the accident. Almost every day, a sea of paparazzi photograph her doing everything from filling up her gas tank to dropping by Starbucks and emerging from pricey hotels late at night, prompting many to wonder why she doesn't just stay home and avoid the melee.
But Spears is said by those closest to her to be stubbornly defiant and resistant to advice. She also apparently courts the shutterbugs who hound her - on Monday, for example, she was offered the chance to leave the L.A. county jail via a backdoor, but chose to wade back into the paparazzi throngs with a smile on her face.
Feller says that sort of behaviour is going to backfire.
"The fact that she's been literally taking the media for a walk every time she goes out somewhere has hurt the hell out of her," Feller said. "She's very much approaching the tipping point. The train eventually does stop, the wreck eventually does happen, and people are rapidly losing patience and sympathy."
Although Spears's inexplicably bizarre behaviour has come at a terrible price, Lui says, people continue to care about her.
"It's achieved a financial goal - obviously she's out there, she's got recognition, her music is selling, but at what cost? Losing her kids, losing her mind, losing her hair," Lui says.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Britney Spears' first studio album in four years will be called "Blackout," her label said. The Jive Records release is due in U.S. stores on November 13, and a day earlier internationally. The album title "refers to blocking out negativity and embracing life fully," said Jive, a unit of Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
Its first single, "Gimme More," soared 65 places to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart Thursday after selling 179,000 downloads. It marks her first top 10 hit since "Toxic" in March 2004, and her best showing on the chart since her smash debut "...Baby One More Time" hit No. 1 in 1999. Spears lip-synched to "Gimme More" during her infamous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last month.
While her professional fortunes appear to be improving, her personal life remains troubled. Spears lost custody of her two young sons last week to her ex-husband Kevin Federline. A Los Angeles family court on Thursday issued strict rules governing her visitation rights, including a requirement that a monitor be present whenever the pop star is with them.
Britney Spears' last album, 2004's "In the Zone," sold poorly relative to her earlier releases.

Pop tart Hot Britney Spears is in yet more trouble in Los Angeles after being charged for a hit and run. The 'Toxic' hit-maker will face two charges stemming from an incident in August when the star drove her black Mercedes convertible into a parked car.
The car, also a Mercedes, suffered damage in the crash but Brit failed to try and find the owner or leave a note, prosecutors alledge.
Hot Britney Spears was also charged with one count of driving without a valid California license.
Both charges carry a maximum of 6 months in jail.
Spears hit the parked car on August 6 while she was shopping at a Los Angeles pharmacy.
Cameras that caught the collision showed the star was not wearing a seatbelt at the time and was clutching her new Yorkie puppy, London, while navigating her turn into a parking spot.
In the process she hit Kim Robard-Rifkin's silver Mercedes station wagon.
Robard-Rifkin, a Beverly Hills nurse, only learned of the incident when photographers who offered to be witnesses contacted her.
"I found out it was Britney Spears who hit my car and I was sort of amused, sort of shocked, sort of like, 'Oh, only this could happen in La La Land," Robard-Rifkin said at the time.
Hot Britney Spears' arraignment on the charges is set for October 10.
The Los Angeles Attorney sent Spears a letter notifying her of the charges.

So it turns out that this “abuse investigation” that the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services has filed against Britney Spears does not have anything to do with Britney actually beating the kids but not really knowing how to take care of them. The complaint involves things like poor eating habits, bad dental hygiene and poor sleeping habits as well. Didn't we know that Britney doesn't really know how to take care of the kids? She probably feeds them anything, lets them do anything around the house and doesn't even brush their teeth. Didn't she wanna get her kids teeth whitened at one time too?

Troubled pop star Britney Spears has infuriated Spice Girl Victoria Beckham by snubbing her at a Los Angeles restaurant, according to reports.
The pair bumped into each other at celebrity hang-out Chateau Marmont last Tuesday (31Jul07) but despite Beckham’s best efforts to introduce herself, Spear allegedly walked off without a word.
A source tells Britney Spears newspaper The Sun, “Victoria said, ‘Hi Britney Spears. I’m Victoria from the Spice Girls.’ But Britney Spears had no idea who she was. Britney Spears just looked at her with a bemused expression and turned and walked away.”
Victoria and soccer ace husband David arrived in Los Angeles in July (07) and have since been welcomed by a string of Hollywood stars including Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Will Smith and Demi Moore.
