Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie endure a riotous `Green Acres'-esque reality show that proves party girls are people too. Sort of. After living on an Arkansas farm without cell phones or money in the first go-round, they trailered across the country for `The Simple Life 2: Road Trip,' and worked odd jobs while touring the East Coast on a Greyhound in `Simple Life: Interns.' After that, the friends parted ways and Hilton headed to Hawaii for the fourth installment with a new sidekick.

  • Simple Life Calls It Quits | Today's News: Our Take | 7/30/2007
    The Simple Life is over for Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. The Aug. 5 episode will be the last for the reality series that featured the rich gals taking jobs and mixing with common folks.

  • Paris' Jail Stay May Free Us from More Simple Life | Today's News: Our Take | 7/17/2007
    Paris Hilton's overexposed... time behind bars didn't just take its toll on the heiress' day-to-day managing of her corporate empire, but it also crippled the ratings for The Simple Life, which this season presented Par and Nicole as camp(y) counselors. "We all thought the publicity would help the show; we were wrong. It's not doing well," TV Week quotes E! CEO ("CE!O"?) Ted Harbert as saying at a TCA function. Harbert explained that people watched Simple Life to see what Paris was really like,... read more

  • Paris Keeping Dates with Dave, Regis; Governator Vows No Special Treatment | Today's News: Our Take | 5/10/2007
    Though she would appear to be bound for the clink, Paris Hilton (in tandem with reality sidekick Nicole Richie) thus far is still on the books to take their Simple Life-pimping tour to Letterman (on June 6) and Regis & Kelly (the morning after). Still, the New York Daily News hears, insiders at each talker won't be surprised if the stop-bys were scrapped, should justice actually be served.Speaking of that fickle lady (justice, not Paris), a spokesperson for Governor Schwarzenegger —... read more
  • Paris and Nicole Camp It Up for Fat Kids | Today's News: Our Take | 3/19/2007
    The fourth season of E!'s The Simple Life, now in production, will not only proffer Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as camp counselors, but in one specific instance have the wafer-thin celebunots mentoring overweight kids. A rep for the reality series, though, insists to the New York Post's Page Six that the stop isn't at a "fat camp" per se, but a "wellness camp focused on eating right, yoga, nutrition and exercise." Add in "crotch flashing" and "drunk driving," and I think the gals can really... read more
  • Short Cuts: Monk, Paris and Nicole, and More! | Today's News: Our Take | 1/23/2007
    With an audience of 5.2 million total viewers, the Friday return of USA Network's Monk was the night's most-watched basic-cable program in prime time. Lead-out Psych, alas, drew just 3.8 million, a steep drop from the series' July debut (6.1 mil).... The new season of The Simple Life, fancying Paris and Nicole as camp counselors, may start production as soon as March, says the New York Daily News.... Disney Channel presents a weekend marathon of every episode of The Suite Life of Zack &... read more

Jason Voorhees, if you're considering another return, now is the time. read more
  • IN OTHER BLONDE NEWS... | Today's News: Our Take | 2/8/2006
    Paris Hilton — I'm sorry, when is The Simple Life returning? Ever? — has had a restraining order filed against her by Brian Quintana, an event producer who claims the celebutante has threatened and harassed him on several occasions.

  • With all this talk about ... | Matt Roush | 11/14/2005
    Question: With all this talk about Fox's schedule and how there isn't enough room for The Simple Life to return and how Prison Break won't return until May, don't you think it's time Fox got with the program and became the real fourth network, after 18 years (truly an appropriate age to finally grow up and be an adult). Shouldn't the network move the local 10 pm/ET news to 11 to make way for original programming? Answer: This question has come up a lot lately, especially in the... read more
  • Are the networks really ... | Today's News: Our Take | 10/26/2005
    Question: Are the networks really fighting over The Simple Life? Answer: Well, "fighting" may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it's true that several outlets have expressed serious interest. Although there's still no deal, I'm hearing that VH1 recently moved to the front of the pack. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an announcement later this week. read more
  • PARIS SETS A DATE | Today's News: Our Take | 10/18/2005

"We're shooting Nov. 1," says Hilton. "All the networks are fighting over it." OK, maybe not CNN or BET, but I think you get her point. read more
  • WILL LIFE GO ON? | Today's News: Our Take | 10/13/2005
    Reports that a fourth edition of The Simple Life, again starring friends-turned-feuders Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, is dead in the water are exaggerated to a degree that is, like, so not hot. Although Fox says it has no room on its schedule for the celebutante-based spectacle, producers are confident that the "ladies" will find a new home. "[This] is still a dynamic and valuable franchise, [and] we hope to announce a new network partner in the coming days," says a statement from... read more
