Paris Hilton is Britney's self-styled lif

Washington: Seems socialite Paris Hilton loves being a mother hen to singer Britney Spears, as she has recently given some useful tips to the pregnant pop star on how to manage certain things in life.


Hilton, who appeared on US talk show 'The View', claims she sympathises with Spears' battle with the media, and thus advises the diva that the best way to handle the paparazzi is to smile and co-operate with them rather than antagonise them.

"I can understand going to a press event or a premiere that's fine, they're there, but when they're waiting outside your home every morning and following you around every single day it's hard," Contactmusic quoted the 25 year old, as saying.

"I'd rather them just take pictures at events, not at my house. I think it's better just to smile than when people give the middle finger or are rude to them, because that's what they want you to do. They want to get a bad picture," she added.

The Simple Life star also asks the Toxic singer to use some help when it comes to her fashion sense, when asked on the US talk show if she thought the revealing purple halter top and tight mini-skirt Spears chose for her much-publicised 'Dareline' television interview was appropriate.

"I think she could have dressed much cuter... She should have worn a really cute maternity dress and she would have looked beautiful," said Hilton.
