"Simple" on Life Support?
Things are getting complicated on The Simple Life.
An apparent rift between stars Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie has seemingly jeopardized the future of the Fox reality show.
Things are so bad between the longtime celebutante pals that producers are considering replacing Richie with another party-circuit regular, Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly.
Hilton herself hinted that big changes are indeed coming on The Simple Life.
"You know, I've had three great seasons [on The Simple Life]," Hilton told E! News Wednesday night at Us Weekly's Young Hot Hollywood Style Awards in Los Angeles. Hilton and Kimberly Stewart arrived at the party arm in arm.
"I love the show, and I just want to freshen it up and make it funner and bring new things in," she said. "It's going to be a big surprise. And everyone is going to be very excited and happy about it."
With Hilton reportedly ready to be paired off with a new Simple Life lady, Richie would, per The Insider, get her own reality spinoff, a Newlyweds-esque endeavor focusing on her life with soon-to-be hubby Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM.
Richie was at the Us Weekly party Wednesday but declined to talk to reporters. Her publicist refused comment on Thursday.
And Fox suits aren't saying anything about the possible Simple Life shake-up--yet. However, the network issued a statement alluding to potential changes on the show.
"We are currently discussing internally the creative direction of the next season of The Simple Life," the network said Thursday.
"We are huge fans of both Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie and look forward to solidifying our plans for the next installment of this fantastic franchise in the very near future."
Reports have been swirling since last summer that Hilton and Richie were on the outs following some off-camera meltdowns while shooting the second season of The Simple Life. (E! Online's Party Girl detailed one incident from a September 2004 Maxim party in L.A. where Richie and her crew picked up the "Reserved for Simple Life" sign propped on her table, threw it on the floor, then stomped on it.)
Hilton and Richie publicly downplayed any animosity, though, eventually signing on to do the currently airing third season of their fish-out-of-water hijinks, The Simple Life: Interns. While they both arrived separately and didn't speak to each other at the Us Weekly party Wednesday, Hilton was diplomatic when asked if their Simple Life together was kaput, telling USA Today, "Nicole is engaged and working like a dog."
Interns debuted with the series' best-ever ratings--13.3 million viewers. Although those numbers have steadily declined in recent weeks, the show averages a still healthy 10.2 million on Wednesdays opposite ABC's new hit, Lost.
