[Al Arabiya Latest] America's most famous hotel heiress Paris Hilton has split up with yet another boyfriend, prompting press across the Middle East to panic as they feared she may cancel her Dubai trip, a week before she was set to arrive on the shores of the Arabian Gulf to look for a new best friend. Hilton split from her boyfriend Doug Reinhard, star of U.S.-series The Hills, who she has been dating for almost six months and has been seen on U.S. television gushing over him and calling him her "future husband."
Reinhard was scheduled to be a producer on the Dubai version of the MTV reality show "My New BFF," in which a group of contestants all living in Dubai -- Arabs and other citizens -- will fight to become her new "best friend forever."
The Middle Eastern version of the raunchy show, however, would have to be toned down to adhere to the country's strict guidelines, meaning no alcohol, sex topics, foul language or sexy clothes.
Middle Eastern entertainment press speculated about the breakup's impact on her planned trup to Dubai, fearing the heiress would cancel her Dubai show as she would be too heart broken to perform in front of the cameras.
But although a spokesperson for the heiress confirmed the couple had split and asked that her "privacy is respected," there was no indication if the Dubai trip was off the table.
Hilton co-created the series to find: "Someone that I can just trust, someone who's not gonna stab me in the back like has happened a lot in this town, someone I can have fun with."
Hilton shot to fame after a sex tape of her with Rick Solomon, Baywatch hearththrob Pamela Anderson's ex-husband, was released on the internet and has stayed in the limelight with a series of TV and film appearances.
