unfortunately, nicole and jole were there as well and totally dissed paris! they blew right by her without even acknowledging her. then later paris approached them to say hi and they turn and walked away! how rude! i say good riddance to fake-friend nicole for good! paris is way tooo forgiving of her and tolerant of her catty BS!

I agree with you JuJu. I can’t stand Nicole and haven’t liked her in a VERY long time. She seems to (now I fully realize I may be wrong about this) believe/think she’s somehow above/better than Paris. And what really boils my blood is how so many in the media (as well as just people in general) act like Nicole is better than Paris. She’s not. Paris needs to just ditch her b/c she doesn’t need people like that who are that fake in her life.

Agreed. That is very rude. Paris has spoken so well of Nicole so many times since they made up, but Nicole doesn’t return the loyalty or affection. Walking past people you’re supposed to be good friends with is just ignorant.

LOL @ the idea of Nicole being better than Paris (I’m not getting at Juju or Sabrinia, just the people who they’re talking about including Nicole). I wouldn’t even have heard of this Nicole if it hadn’t been for starting to watch The Simple Life out of curiousity about Paris. Even when they fell out, Paris seemed more regretful in episodes of The Simple Life, while Nicole was the one being nasty and trying to make out they hadn’t been such great friends anyway. I lost my respect for her a long time ago.

You’ve got to give it to Paris – this shows how much of a nice person she is. Even though Nicole really doesnt show Paris support anymore, Paris still speaks so highly of Nicole. It’s really quiote heartbreaking that Paris still regards Nicole as such a wonderful person while Nicole honestly doesnt give her the time of day. Nicole and Paris do have all their seperate projects going on that keep them quite busy. Nicole being a mum, her jewelry line etc. and Paris.. well we all know what a crazy, hectic schedule Paris has. it’s not hard to make time to see your ‘sister’ though.

I dont believe what Juju has said though, the media always likes to stir up shit so unless we see it with our own eyes I’d take it with a might big grain of salt.

omg that makes me really sad bc i love them together and want them to be good friends like they used to but i guess they’ve just gone their separate ways. im just sad that i didnt get into paris until right b4 the 5th season of the simple life which was wen they “made up” but it wasnt the same as the first 3 seasons. so i kinda just had to learn about their friendship through the past. and i liked Paris and Nicole WAY better than i like Paris with her new ugly bff brittany. even paris britney and lindsay was better than this new bitch.

Am I the only one that thinks Joel and Nicile are happy that Benji and Paris split up?
Joel always seemed to be in a grumpy mood in every picture but all of a sudden he and Nicole are like the perfect little couple.
I feel bad for Benji because I really like him. But of course, we are only on the outside looking in.

No Jen you’re not the only one thinking that. I think so as well and I’ve seen a few articles/blogs saying the same thing. Now it all might be rumors but they’re saying how Nicole&Joel are happy they’ve split up now and all like that.

hey scot,

i agree that the media does like to stir the pot, but in this case we did see it with our own eyes. check out the video on the E! News website. Nicole and Joel, clearly walk right by paris without saying a word. in fact they deliberately look away from paris and begin walking very quickly into the venue.

sorry, but nicole hasn’t made any nice public comments about paris in about 18 months. even when nicole was on ellen, she kinda dodged the questions from ellen about nicole being paris’ bff. finalyl she said it “had” been a nice friendship. and maybe i’m reading too much into her deliberate use of the word “had” as in the past tense as opposed to a current tense verb. and also, ellen really had to pin her down just to get that much out of nicole.

bottomline, if you’re really great friends with somebody, then that isn’t normal behavior.

and jen, i comepletely agree.
