Can anyone replace Paris and Nicole?
The final episode of season five of the “The Simple Life” will air Sunday (Aug. 5) at 10 p.m. on E! The series featured friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie exposed to everyday tasks like milking cows, working as mechanics, and this season the pair tackled the role as camp counsellors. Jobs the two spoiled princesses would have never encountered in their real lives.
The first several seasons aired on Fox. The immediate success of the show was seen as a result of the release of a sex tape featuring Paris and a former boyfriend who released the tape. In recent years the ratings have been dropping with this season averaging a total 843,000 viewers for the eight episodes.
In recent days, the pair have been in the news due to repeated D.U.I. charges, jail time and most recently, Nicole announced she is expecting her first child as she awaits her jail sentence.
The finale looks ridiculous. I can’t decide whether that is good or bad thing. One thing is for certain it isn’t hot! According to E! “Paris and Nicole write their own play in tribute to their decades-long friendship, enlisting the help of celebrity counsellor Sally Kirkland to lead the production.”
Even with the end of “The Simple Life” near the two are not likely to fad from the spotlight anytime soon. But reality TV producers and paparazzi are sure to be on the lookout for the next princess duo.

Uh… is that REALLY the title to this story? And if so, my answer is “God, I hope so and quickly!”

A cigarette butt could do a better job than those two. The sooner they are forgotten, the better off this world will be.
