Paris and Nicole stuck with each other

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie

The simple feud Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are stuck together for another season of The Simple Life - even if they're not speaking to each other.

The Fox network has picked up the options for both of the feuding friends' contracts for the fourth season of the reality show. Aside from the public rift between Hilton and Richie, Fox sees other fodder for on-screen sparks, such as the fact they're both engaged to be married.


In April, Hilton issued a terse statement saying it was "no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends. Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it."


The hotel heiress gave no reason for the split. She also lobbied for Richie to be replaced by another friend of hers, Rod Stewart's 25-year-old daughter, Kimberly.
