This is wrong on so many levels. According to today's
Page Six, the fourth season of
The Simple Life will feature Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton playing camp counselors at five different camps over a five week period. One of those camps is a "wellness camp," which emphasizes proper eating and exercise, or as the producers have been calling it, "fat camp."
Sending Richie, the poster child for eating disorders, into a "fat camp" is just plain obscene, not to mention dangerous. "Proper eating" consists of more than laxatives and Red Bull, and Paris is no wellness champ either unless, of course, your idea of "wellness" involves
mixing a line of blow with Strawberry Quik to balance its bitter aftertaste - last year's trend among Hollywood's starlet set. But, I'm not giving the kids at these camps enough credit. They're not stupid. Maybe, they'll even teach Paris and Nicole a thing or two - like how to ingest solid foods.

Two
different lawsuits allege that Paris Hilton likes to tell lies to the media about people she doesn't like. One lawsuit,
brought on by diamond-heiress Zeta Graff, claims that Hilton flat-out lied to the
New York Post about her. In
July, Hilton was quoted as saying Graff, the former girlfriend of Paris' then-fiance, went "berserk" at a
night club and threatened strangle the hotel heiress and steal her diamond necklace. Graff says the actual altercation
only included a threat from Paris, saying, "I'm going to destroy you." Ha, ha. That's funny. Paris' former
spokesperson is on Graff's side. He reportedly said in a deposition that Paris asked him to plant the story. Oh, these
crazy heiresses and the way they think anyone actually cares what they have to say! The second lawsuit comes from a
promoter who says Paris bad-mouthed him to the media and threatened his life. He's seeking a restraining order.
Hilton's spokesperson says that Paris is, in fact, the victim in all of this.

As a writer for
Luxist, I was particularly interested in seeing how well this show captured the luxe life. Would the contestants really be let into the world of New York society? The most annoying theme song ever leads us into this show that seems to delight in making fun of middle America. We start with the contestants extolling the virtues of "becoming a Hilton." They are taken to a private club where they cocktail about while Kathy Hilton observes them from above as they spit out caviar and get hammered on free booze. Kathy appears and our hapless folks are all agog. They are given silver spoons, divided into teams (Madison and Park) and the posturing and grandstanding begins.
