Not content with seeing her daughter exposed on reality TV, Paris Hilton's mum is getting in on the act.

Kathy Hilton is to star in an eight-part series The Good Life which will see her teach 10 young women how to fit into society.

Making a break: Kathy Hilton

The latest Hilton saga will be based in New York's Waldorf-Astoria hotel.

Contestants will learn different skills each week and Hilton - whose teachings can be already seen in daughters Paris and Nicky - will eliminate one each week.

But even those voted off will receive a prize.

The winner of the show will be given a year's stay at the Waldorf-Astoria, a car, clothes and jewellery.

Hilton will also use her society links to find the victor a job in fields ranging from fashion to publishing.
