How this season is filed
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie punch in for farm work like it's performance art, then take the culture clash on the road. The Simple Life is celebutante sitcom — Fox trash that prototyped a fame model, friendship as the real engine, tabloid oxygen the decade could not quit.
