‘The Simple Life’: Simply socialiteriffic

» More Celebs


This much we know: The truck really does go in reverse (they pulled out of the food mart like Rick Salomon did Paris), Nicole Richie looks really fat when she smiles and Paris really, really should wear not-so-low-rise jeans (did you see the censor blur on her ass crack too?).

If you’re like Jossip, you just lifted your two cheeks from the sofa after the long-awaited premiere of The Simple Life. No, we weren’t in laugh-out-lound hysterics, but it’s just the beginning with more to come tomorrow night. We’ll definitely be watching the season .. how else will we know who Paris thinks is the hottest guy in Arkansas?

In the first episode, we see Paris and Nicole throw their own going away party at the Hiltons (Nicole’s parents are noticeably, and wisely, nowhere to be found), fly to Arkansas on a private jet (not in coach, which they’re doing these days), try to swindle their way into some free groceries, refuse to pluck dead chickens, learn they’ll be responsible for “chores,” force themselves through a conversation about Walmart ignorances (we think Real World producers Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jon Murray had a little something to do with that one) and suggest a menage-a-trois with the family’s oldest son.

And yes, they did play the “Ms. Hilton” song a bit too much (“Ms. Hilton you must be worth a trillion bucks”). We loved everything, except the announcer, that is. Go back to Joe Millionaire, bucko.
