Ex-friends to live another ‘Simple Life’

Fans of The Simple Life will be seeing more of ex-friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

E! Entertainment Television will air a fifth season of the reality-style series, which shows the tabloid-ready celebutantes thrown into everyday situations with real people, the network announced Tuesday.

The show moved to E! after Fox declined to air a fourth season. A new format allows the feuding friends to have nothing to do with each other.

The Simple Life — ‘Til Death Do Us Part, which airs Sundays (10 p.m. ET), has Hilton and Richie — in separate scenes, of course — playing a “wife” and running a household.

In one episode, Hilton characterized the two as “complete opposites.”

“I’m the nice one, she’s the evil one,” she said.
