Saving "Simple Life"?

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."
The off-camera drama became public in April, when Hilton started showing up at Hollywood parties arm-in-arm with fellow scenester Kimberly Stewart--a position previously reserved for Richie.
"You know, I've had three great seasons [on The Simple Life]," Hilton told E! News. "I love the show, and I just want to freshen it up and make it funner and bring new things in," she continued, making it obvious that Stewart was going to be among the "new things."
"It's going to be a big surprise. And everyone is going to be very excited and happy about it."
In case anyone didn't get the hint, Hilton released a statement the following week.
"It's no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends," Hilton said.
Several reasons were cited for the split in various reports--from Richie being jealous of Hilton's bigger fame to Richie quitting the party circuit to settle down with Goldstein--but nothing was ever confirmed.
"I will not go into the details of what happened," Hilton said. "All I will say is that Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I am ever going to say about it."
At the time, sources suggested that Hilton and Stewart would continue on The Simple Life in the show's existing format, while Richie would do her own show about her impending trip down the aisle. But those plans were apparently scuttled, and Stewart, the daughter of rocker Rod Stewart, said she wasn't going to do the TV show.
The third edition, The Simple Life: Interns debuted with the series' best-ever ratings--13.3 million viewers. Despite facing formidable competition from ABC's hit Lost, the reality series finished its run averaging a respectable 9.6 million viewers.
In any cases, all parties better iron out their differences soon if the show is going to make it back on the air. Hilton told Newsweek last month that she's going "to retire" from the public eye within the next two years to start a family with Latsis.
