For jailbird pals Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, it's more pokey and less poking fun at the regular people of America, as their "reality" show "The Simple Life" has gotten the ax.
E! officially cancelled the show, reports the New York Daily News, but it could resurface somewhere else, though a FOX rep says "no decision has been made." According to Usmagazine.com, the pair were already "too played out" because of their off-screen antics, whispered an insider, and that during taping for this season, Nicole had become the real diva.
But don't fret for Paris just yet. Page Six says she's got a starring role in a movie called "Repo! The Genetic Opera," playing the daughter of Paul Sorvino (wonder how Mira feels about that), who will play an evil organ transplant magnate. The director says Paris "owned" the role when she auditioned. Plus, Popbytes reveals that the heiress will be the face (and ears and neck) of Italian jeweler Silvia Damiani for her "Bliss" line for the next three years. Looks like Paris will be just fine.
