If you've ever wanted the chance to be buddies with a celebrity, then you're in luck. Paris Hilton is looking for a new bestie via an MTV reality show called Paris Hilton: My New BFF. So it got me thinking -- no, not that her new friend should be a designated driver, but that might be a good idea…

Are there any celebrities out there who seem like just one of the guys/gals? I can think of a few who look like they'd be great company for shopping, having a drink or hanging out on the beach. Everyone can always use more friends, so why not befriend the person who seemingly has everything? Who's on your wish list of star sidekicks?

Here's my list of big shots who I think would make great pals:

1. Drew Barrymore – Seemingly sweet, talented animal lover who overcame adversity. Normal boyfriend (Justin Long, aka the "Mac Guy") is a plus.
2. Katherine Heigl – Has domestic tendencies – she's always spotted buying stuff for her new home. And she actually seems like she's a normal size, so late-night chowdowns wouldn't be a problem.
3. T.R. Knight – He comes in a package deal with Heigl; cute boyfriend is a plus.
4. Zach Braff – Great taste in music, funny and talented. So cute that he gets my vote for "friend with benefits." Plus, we already are friends! (On MySpace, that is – what? It counts!)
5. Jennifer Garner – My "mom" friend – our daughters are close in age. Plus, she's from West Virginia, so she has to be good people.

Which stars would make the worst friends? These are the friend requests I'd deny on MySpace and pretty much anywhere else:

1. Paris Hilton – Would never take her turn being the designated driver; hogs the paparazzi; misquotes the Bible.
2. Renee Zellweger – Eating with this one isn't going to happen, plus I'd want to offer her sunglasses every time I saw those squinty eyes.
3. Tyra Banks – Too loud, annoying and self-absorbed.
4. Mel Gibson – Racist, misogynistic and homophobic. No, thanks.
5. Elisabeth Hasselbeck – Blindly follows ideology, sticking to her ridiculous, baseless talking points, no matter how incorrect. Send her back to the Outback.

It's fun to dream about rubbing elbows with the Hollywood elite. So what's your fantasy friendship? If you agree or disagree or want to pitch your favorite, then add your comments below!
