Paris Hilton and Britney Spears “becoming like sisters”

Paris Hilton’s spokesperson has said Paris and new BFF Britney Spears are “becoming like sisters” after spending so much time together in the wake of Britney’s split from husband Kevin Federline.

Elliot Mintz told TMZ that the two are “really forming a bond” as Paris introduces Britney to the Los Angeles party scene. Paris has also been photographed helping Britney with her eldest son, Sean.

Mintz added that Britney “looks up” to Paris, who is a year older than her, and is “extremely grateful” that Paris is looking after her.

Britney and Paris have been together almost constantly for the past ten days and despite mixed reports about a possible fight with Lindsay Lohan, Mintz believes all three are very close: “What I’ve observed is that we have three extraordinarily powerful women who generate a tremendous amount of attention, money, and adulation and they’re tired of other people trying to ride on their coattails and creating false dramas.”

Under Paris’s (and possibly Lindsay’s) tutelage, Britney has been spotted wearing increasingly shorter skirts and accidentally flashed photographers while getting into cars after nights out over the weekend.
