Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie Are Pals Again

Celeb playmates Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are back together after a feud broke them up during filming of their faux reality show The Simple Life two decades ago, where the ditzy rich girls dithered with plain folks in rural Arkansas.

According to the now 43-year-olds, who star in Peacock’s new Paris & Nicole: The Encore, “nothing really happened,” the whole feud was a misunderstanding! “Back then, the media was just so toxic and they loved starting feuds between people,” insists the Hilton hotel heiress. Adds Lionel Richie’s kid: “It was mostly the media just spinning things and creating drama that didn’t exist.” But one fan claims selfish Paris did something “very mean,” reportedly leaving Nicole out of her Saturday Night Live appearance!

A source claims Nicole was so miffed, she held a party the night of the SNL gig where she showed guests Paris’ sex tape. The reunited pals deny the bad reports — but then, spoiled rich girls can be witchy!
