Who cares about "The Simple Life" - Fox should crank out a reality show called "Behind the Scenes of 'The Simple Life,'" because that's where all the action is.
Paris Hilton and ex-sidekick Nicole Richie, currently in the midst of an epic feud, might be reunited on a fourth season of The Simple Life that would, according to reports, have them shoot their scenes separately.
The battling celebutantes are both under contract for another round of the reality series and it appears Fox is going to make a show with the two of them, whether or not they're on speaking terms.
People and Us Weekly magazines reported Tuesday that the network has a plan on the drawing board that would see the next installment of The Simple Life focus on the two stars' upcoming nuptials, Hilton to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis and Richie to disc jockey Adam Goldstein, aka DJ-Am. The show would presumably film their respective preparations, ceremonies and first weeks as newlyweds. And the beauty of it is that they would never have to get together.
Us Weekly quotes a source in the Richie camp saying, "Nicole is into the idea--she really wants this," but the magazine reports that Hilton hasn't signed off the concept. When contacted by E! Tuesday, Richie's publicist would only say, "Her option was picked up [but] no decision is made on start date, airdate or concept." Hilton's publicist echoed the sentiment, saying "no decisions have been made regarding The Simple Life 4."
Meanwhile, People says that Fox has a plan b, which would focus on Hilton and Richie reconciling. Of course, with the former pals refusing to talk to each other, chances for that seem remote.
There is no official timetable for the reality series and neither Hilton, 24, nor Richie, 23, has announced when they will tie the knot. Amid the new reports Tuesday, the show's production company, 20th Century Television, would only reiterate the same statement it has been making since news of the feud emerged three months. "We are still working out the creative direction of the next installment, and as a matter of policy, don't comment on the creative process," the company told E! "We will let you know when we have something to announce regarding the next edition of The Simple Life."
