Paris Hilton hasn’t been in trouble with the US cops recently, but she has been angering some overseas. Officials in Dubai are not pleased with Paris, who is in the city filming another season of her My New BFF reality show, which will broadcast around the Middle East. Although she is in the United Arab Emirates, where wearing revealing clothes or acting provocative is strictly against the law, she donned a bikini anyway and proceeded to prance around for pictures. The best part is that producers of her show warned her that she should be careful about how she conducts herself while on the trip.

Paris Hilton has been given a major dressing down for, er, dressing down.

TV producers had banned the airhead heiress from wearing a bikini while she is in Dubai shooting the third series of My New BFF.

But within hours she was posing for photos in a skimpy twopiece.

Brilliant. Our source says: “Paris had made a big public speech, saying how much she loved the Middle East and respected its culture. But the following day she was prancing around on the beach in her bikini and posing provocatively.

“Bosses warned her Western tourists have been jailed for flouting the rules.”

It would be easy to write off the bikini-wearing to ignorance, but the article says that her producers warned her about the rules, and she actively refused to abide by cultural standards. Her hypocrisy is furthered by the fact that the day before, she had claimed that she just “wanted to respect everyone.”

Paris Hilton said she studied the culture of Dubai and promised the Middle East version of her reality show will steer clear of the drinking and the swearing it had in Los Angeles and London.

The remarks came as Hilton, 28, launched the Middle East edition of her “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF” series in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. BFF stands for best friends forever.

“I wanted to know everything about this place first because I wanted to make sure everything was OK,” the hotel heiress was quoted as saying by the National newspaper Thursday. “I just want to respect everyone here.”

The fame-loving Hilton promised to dress conservatively and said her Dubai-based MTV series will be open to women only. There will be no finger pointing and laughing at anybody, the show’s producers said.

“I expect to learn a lot here. It’s a completely different world,” Hilton said.

Twenty-two contestants will try their best to become Hilton’s new BFF in the 20 days she will spend in the Emirates. No air date has yet been set for the show.

When not filming her reality show, intended for broadcast throughout the Arab region, Hilton will explore the desert, go camel riding, get a henna tattoo and go skiing on Dubai’s famed artificial ski slope inside a shopping mall.

I love that it says Paris “studied” the culture of The United Arab Emirates. Please, the girl has never picked up a book in her life. As the article says, Paris’ idea of experiencing the culture is going skiing on an indoor slope.

Paris’ actions have, once again, simply proved the extent of her self-centered attitude and inability to understand when it’s not all about her. Even after publicly stating that she is aware of the differences in cultural attitudes in the United States and Dubai, she goes off and blatantly disregards them. You have to wonder what goes through her head at times like this. Does she think that she is simply above the law, or does an idea pop into her head, and then she goes and does it with out any concept of the consequences? I’m guessing it’s the former – actually, I’m not even sure Paris knows the meaning of “consequences.” After all, she somehow thought it was a good idea to make sexy time with Cristiano Ronaldo.
