The television gods have answered my TV prayers and cancelled The Simple Life. Good riddance! The reality show, which starred Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, followed the pair as they had various jobs and experiences that contradicted their posh existences. Don’t get me wrong, I have seen a few episodes here and there—marvelling at just how stupid they are, then wondering if it’s all an act—but their stupidity couldn’t capture my attention for long. Add to that the media blitz that accompanied the recent trouble they’ve gotten themselves into (Paris finishing her jail time and committing to a life of do-goodery and Nicole set to serve her four days) and I’ve just completely lost interest in them. And yet, as if people care, Nicole will be doing an interview soon to talk about herself and and formally let the world know if she is indeed pregnant. Having said all of this, I still continue to write about the pair—not a fan, by any stretch of either of them, and hoping that this cancellation is just the beginning of the world closing down their seemingly endless 15 minutes of fame. One can only hope.
