Who Will Be the Next Paris Hilton?

Waiting in the wings are some of New York's most recognizable socialites, such as Tinsley Mortimer and Lydia Hearst. They've both got the money, the famous last name and the long blond hair. But do they have the guts, or the ambition, to put themselves completely out there?

"I think that Paris' willingness to be completely exposed was what really made her different," said blogger Lisa Timmons, editor of the Web site A Socialite's Life. "People felt like they were getting a peek at something they weren't supposed to."

But are "good girls" like Mortimer and Hearst willing to kiss their wholesome images goodbye and expose themselves in the way Hilton did? Because in the "How to be Hilton Handbook " that's criteria No. 1.

Andy Warhol once said, "If you don't know Patrick McMullan, you ought to get out more!" Warhol was right. Celebrity photographer Patrick McMullan has seen his share of socialites and said the New York duo have done a good job putting themselves in front of his camera.

McMullan's lens has captured socialites and celebrities for years and, from his experience, he said Mortimer and Hearst both show promise of becoming the next big thing.

"Both these girls have the same abilities. They're photogenic, they're interesting, they understand how to be photographed and they know what it takes," said McMullan.

But while they may know what it takes, they still have a long way to go -- literally.

"My message to any New York socialite, if you want to be [the next] Paris Hilton, you've got to come to Hollywood," said Baker.

New Money: Hollywood Hotties

While Hilton made a name for herself in the Big Apple, she wasn't a New York native. Hilton was born and raised in Los Angeles and came to New York as a teenager. So maybe the next Paris won't come from New York after all.

Like the New York set, there's a crew of young Hollywood celebrities trying to take over where Hilton left off. Actresses Mischa Barton and Hillary Duff are among some of the up-and-coming pretty young things. And reality television stars Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag could be the next dynamic duo to demand headlines.
