When producers dreamed up “The Simple Life,” they had Paris Hilton in mind but they wanted her to have a sidekick, per reality blurred. They suggested her sister Nicky Hilton, but the “Stars Are Blind” singer explained, “She had a boyfriend at the time, and didn’t want to leave. She’s from New York. She was not, like, into moving to a small town, so I picked [Nicole], my best friend since I was two years old.”

After “The Simple Life” Season 3, Fox canceled the reality show and stated, “We did not see a place for ‘The Simple Life’ on our schedule this season,” per Today. However, the real reason may have been due to a falling out between Hilton and Nicole Richie. The heiress told fans, “It’s 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.” Hilton pushed to have Rod Stewart’s daughter, Kimberly Stewart, but Richie refused to give up her role on “The Simple Life.”
