Life is getting complicated for Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.
The former friends, who no longer speak owing to a highly publicized feud, are being reunited courtesy of the powers that be at Fox.
The network announced Thursday that it has picked up the options on both Simple Life stars' contracts, meaning the twosome are obligated to appear in a fourth season of their reality series.
Hilton, who confirmed that she and Richie were no longer friends back in April, had openly lobbied for pal Kimberly Stewart to take Richie's place as her token blonde sidekick on the show.
However, what with the hefty diamond sparklers both Hilton and Richie are sporting on their ring fingers these days, Fox apparently sees the potential for ratings gold.
Richie announced her engagement to Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM, in February; Hilton followed suit, announcing her engagement to Paris Latsis in May.
"Given the fact that both Paris and Nicole are engaged and about to be married...there's got to be something in that world," Fox Entertainment President Peter Liguori said Thursday at the Television Critics Association press tour.
Though Liguori said he didn't think Hilton and Richie had resolved their issues with each other, he seemed unconcerned about possible friction on the set.
"Both have been picked up, both will be ready for work, and we'll work it out," he said.
Speculation exists that the duo will shoot their scenes separately, making it easier for them to refrain from sinking their perfectly manicured nails into each other's flesh.
No airdate has yet been determined for the show.
Though no official reason was ever given for the dissolution of the friendship, according to Hilton, Richie is well aware of why the split came about.
"It's no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends," Hilton said in a statement.
"I will not go into the details of what happened. All I will say is that Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I am ever going to say about it."
Sounds like this season of the Life won't be so simple.
