I think Paris lacks everything: a brain, tact, morals, personality, smarts; you name it, she's lacking it (except for money of course). Next, I think Kevin is looking for attention. Remember, his only claim to fame is being Mr. Spears and a never-was rapper; (remember that ad that the MTV Music Awards played right before Britney came out to open the Awards - he's working at a fast food joint dreaming of rapping hahaha); hanging with Paris will definitely keep his name in the news. That's what he realizes will help his "career." Lastly, I don't think Britney and Paris are "real" friends. I think they pretend to be friends for the media (in spite of Paris spending a couple thousand dollars for Britney's birthday gift this past year - remember, this is pocket change for her). And if the two really are friends, Paris is the worst kind of friend anyone can have.
