Oh what are we going to do about those two? Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie - the spoiled stars of The Simple Life - are at it again. Or rather… they’re at it still. The Simple Life is being renewed for a fifth season, despite the fact that Hilton and Richie are not on speaking terms.

The former best friends both starred in the show’s fourth season - which is currently airing on E! – but did not appear in any scenes together. 

The fifth season may have the reality-show going back to its original format, forcing the girls to reconcile or to learn how to act well enough that they can pretend they’ve reconciled. Hilton claims she can act (although anyone who saw House of Wax might argue otherwise). She recently admitted that her Simple Life persona is nothing like the real her.

She hasn’t been shy about how the “real her” feels about Richie. She has described her costar as jealous and attention-seeking, claiming that Richie has “let the fame go to her head”. However, many attribute the rift in their friendship to rumors that Richie hosted a viewing of Hilton’s sex tape One Night in Paris; Hilton has been quoted as saying, “Nicole knows what she did”.

Hilton recently hinted that she would be willing to end the feud if Richie would apologize for “being mean”. Richie states that they are no longer friends because they “grew apart”.
