Fox Renews Simple Life With Hilton, Richie
NEW YORK - Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are stuck together for
another season of "The Simple Life" _ even if they're not speaking to each
other.
Fox announced Thursday that the network has picked up the options on the
contracts for both of the feuding friends for the fourth season of the reality
show. Aside from the public rift between Hilton and Richie, Fox sees other
fodder for on-screen sparks.
"Given the fact that both Paris and Nicole are engaged and about
to be married ... there's got to be something in that world," said Fox
Entertainment President Peter Liguori according to AP Radio.
In April, Hilton issued a terse statement saying it was "no big secret that
Nicole and I are no longer friends. Nicole knows what she did, and that's all
I'm ever going to say about it."
The hotel heiress gave no reason for the split. She also lobbied for Richie to
be replaced by another friend of hers, Rod Stewart's 25-year-old daughter,
Kimberly.
Liguori said he isn't sure what direction they'll be taking the show. In May,
Hilton told The AP that the show may be headed to Hawaii because the network
wanted to "sex it up."
Richie, the 23-year-old daughter of singer Lionel Richie, became engaged to club
DJ Adam Goldstein in February. Hilton, 24, followed suit in late May with Greek
shipping heir Paris Latsis.
An air date for "The Simple Life 4" has not yet been set.

Paris Urged To Leave Paris
Apparently, future mother-in-law, billionaire Mariana Kourkoulo, urged her
son, Paris Latsis, to split up with Paris Hilton, because of her controversial
past.
It is reported that Mariana got really angry when she found out Paris Hilton
posed for steamy glamor shots and was caught on tape when she had sex with one
of her many ex-boyfriends.
A source close to the family told America's Star magazine :
"She was frankly disgusted and had to make her feelings known to her son.
And she told her son that for the sake of the family's honor he must never marry
Paris, Mariana told him to get rid of her now."
Paris Latsis proposed Paris Hilton in May, after an eight-month relationship.
The couple is set to marry later this year.
Paris Hilton recently confessed she wants children with her Greek shipping heir
fiancé. She revealed: "I really want to have Paris' children. "I love him more
than I have ever loved anyone."
London: Hotel heiress Paris Hilton’s fianci
shipping heir Paris Latsis has reportedly bought her a new engagement ring after
she complained that the first one was too heavy.
Latsis had given Hilton a 3million pound 24 carat diamond ring last month, when
he popped the question. But Paris said that it was so big it hurt her finger, so
he replaced it with a smaller Cartier ring for everyday use, reports the Sun.
Besides Hilton also told pals she was afraid of having the big ring stolen from
her finger.
