As part of its summer programming announcement, FOX announced yesterday that The Simple Life 2, the sequel to this past winter's The Simple Life hit reality series, will premiere Wednesday, June 16.

May 10, 2004 -- IS the lovefest between Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie on the rocks? A source close to the dysfunctional duo tells us it's going to take "a lot of crafty editing" to make them look like best buds in the second season of Fox's "The Simple Life." Says the tipster, "They were constantly at each other's throats" as they cruised across the country in an RV. But a bigger problem was their habit of giving each other the silent treatment: "There was a lot of time when they just weren't speaking." A Fox rep denies there's been any creative editing: "The show is completely authentic."

Wow, I figured they'd nix Nicole and make it a Paris Hilton show, guess they realized Nicole's the only one with any personality. I'm a little surprised to hear they're not best buds anymore, but I guess I shouldn't be, but they did seem really close, guess nothing lasts forever. I wonder if Nicole learned to drive or if Paris will be doing all the driving again.

Cruising the country in an RV...been there...doing that! :-) Hubby and I argue alot when we're on the road, it's when we get into camp that we're truly happy. LOL And I hope that Paris actually learned how to pull an RV before the took off on this trip. It's not an easy task by no means! Looking forward to this one!

P.S. I hope they gave em an actual RV and not one of those mansions on wheels....tee hee.......

My 6-yr old GD is looking forward to seeing the show. She laughed her head off at last year's show (Mommy edited the tapes).

I watched part of last season.

Regarding the "feud", I saw NR being interviewed on an entertainment show. She was asked about it, and she denied any feud.

I don't know if any of you caught NR and Lionel Richie on Oprah a few weeks back. I was surprised to hear that she was still doing hard drugs while on her first season. Oprah showed a tape of the show, showing her being obnoxious.

I also didn't realize her heroin drug arrest happened after she started the show. I could be wrong on this part...but that's what I thought I heard on Oprah.

Did anyone watch Oprah? Am I right about that? (her being arrested after the show).

I saw the very first episode on a local channel here... that's when the two girls arrive at the farm..
I made an effort to see how they adapted but...really couldn't stand anymore of their 'elite girls' attitude and giggling non stop and not the slightest interest in learning anything... Maybe that's why I didn't even watch the first time.. (this must be a rerun..).

I will watch. I think the editing is very good on this show. I liked last season alot. Especially liked when it showed them "working". That prob. provided the funniest material. I just wander what they'll do to make these girls funny this yr.

The LATimes reviewed this show yesterday and they said it is great. They actually compared Nicole and Paris--they called her a "shiny heiress"--to Lucy and Ethel. I was actually laughing while I read the review because the antics sounded so funny. But let's face it: I love Paris and they could say terrible things about the show and I'd watch anyhow.

[Abby, you are right about the timeline of Nicole's addiction: she was actively doing heroin in the first season and she was busted after filming had wrapped.]

Good grief if she rode a horse all her life wouldn't she know you had to give it a little kick to get it going?

I can not believe that they had no clue that one could not put a reg. pot in the micro! I LMAO though. It almost makes me wonder how they have lived this long since they can not seem to do much of anything other than shop.

But they sure make me laugh!

My sister has her 12 year old watching it.... and she told my niece... These 2 are not to be copied... they show just how people should not act, not to dress, and how not to treat people.

Jasper, I thought the same thing about the horse!

Just read an article in USA Today that Nicole attended AA meetings on the road but they did not film them. Good to know that she is working hard to stick with her rehab.

I can't believe the cowboy dude put those chaps on naked for the girls! Maybe he thought he'd get lucky?

In the South Blue Lights are used by the Police Department. Up here in the North the blue lights are used for Fire Department people in personal cars.

Talk about freaky I live right off of highway 27. That is the road they were traveling on in the first half hour show. To bad I didn't see them when they were traveling, that would have been cool.

LOL - I saw the first show, but fell asleep before the 2nd one. Anyone know if they're going to be rerunning these?

She probably has ridden English all her life and it looked like those were Western saddles. She should have known how to get the horse going, though some horses are so well trained you do not have to actually kick them, you can shift your weight forward and loosen the tension on their mouths and they will go forward. In English riding, you "steer" the horse with a rein in each hand, in Western you hold both reins in one hand (left) and "neck rein" the horse by pulling the reins in one direction or the other across the horse's neck. The stirrup length is different on Western and English, with English stirrups shorter (your knees are bent) and the foot flat. In Western, you have to ride with your leg nearly straight with your heels down.

I think riding "all her life" means once a year for Paris. All I know is I wasn't surprised she fell off.
Damn, I missed the guy and his chaps though.
This is such a silly show, but I lol at it and will watch it all, these girls have no off switch in their brains that tell them something is better left unsaid or undone. I hope the whole thing with the little girl was a good edit job with the swearing. The duck thing reminded me of Deliverance
I'll give them this they are game for anything and actually seemed disappointed they wouldn't be in the mermaid show.
