There’s a new series of The Simple Life on the way, right? That means that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have put their feuding behind them, right? Not a chance – Paris has been busy publicly dissing Nicole.
Paris Hilton has said in a magazine interview that Nicole Richie is "pathetic" and "jealous". Of course, we realise that there’s every chance that this is all one big stunt orchestrated by Paris Hilton designed to get people watching the new series of The Simple Life. But, hey, you take what you can get, right?
Paris Hilton, for all her very obvious faults – like her lazy eye and that – is a bit of a genius at promoting herself. You want someone to deny having sex with Tom Sizemore? Paris Hilton is your girl. You want someone to get a restraining order after apparently threatening someone who said she had herpes? Paris Hilton is your girl. You want someone to, um, piss in a taxi? Paris Hilton is your girl.
So it’s no surprise to find Paris Hilton, on the eve of a new Simple Life series, to start yakking to Elle Magazine about one of the most persistent Simple Life rumours – that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie hate each other:
"She [Nicole] cannot stand being around me because I get all the
attention and people really don’t care about her… I’ve been best
friends
with her since I was two, but when I brought her on to my show, she got
very jealous and turned on me for no reason. It breaks my heart. She
was my sister. She was the funniest person to be around and then she
let the fame go to her head. She’s not the same person any more. I
never want to speak to her again – ever."
And while she’s on the subject, Paris Hilton – who is also balancing recording her Three 6 Mafia-assisted album and thinking about playing Mother Teresa in a film – wants everyone to know that this whole Simple Life thing is all about her, baby, and Nicole Richie doesn’t even figure:
"They want to do it with just me, but we’re both under contract
together. She has nothing else so she really wants to do it, but I
don’t."
Duh – of course Nicole Richie wants to keep making The Simple Life, Paris; it’s just about the only way she gets to meet all those 11-year-old potential boyfriends.
