A Simple Life: Inmates
Reality TV producers for Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie vehicle A Simple Life have no doubt gone into overdrive seeking permissions for the next series of A Simple Life to be filmed while Ms Hilton has a short break from her envelope opening and handbag designing activities courtesy of the American judicial system.
It seems that Ms Hilton has been "singled out" following her third bout of driving offences. On some level I suspect she has been singled out, as I doubt joe average could have managed to escape going for a row two times prior.
However that she has not been jailed for crimes against humanity for her "creative talents" is a great irony to me. Admittedly I have a personal motivation for my gripe, having spent two days on a boat from Greece to Italy last September with Paris' single on high rotation on every speaker and video screen. I could not escape her or her synthesised whiney voice promising to show me hers while she shimmied up against a palm tree - surely that can't be comfortable?
The stars may be blind, but the passengers were not deaf.
I admit I've never seen The House of Wax, but I find the DVD slick hilarious as the wax on Ms Hilton's face looks strangely fluid from my perspective - a nice tribute to her other (and better known) reality work.
I jumped aboard the Paris band wagon late, truth be told. I missed the first series of A Simple Life, and while I was concerned I wouldn't understand the narrative of the next series, tuned in for the first episode. At around about the first ad break I knew I would rather set fire to myself than continue watching.
I think it was about at about the second series that Ms Hilton brought out her autobiography - which would have made her about 23 by my reckoning. Again - have not read the book so am only speculating, but am guessing the key points are something like:
1. Elizabeth Taylor married a family member. We're not close.
2. I died my hair blonde.
3. I appeared in a porn video. Which I then made millions off, despite legal action to prevent distribution.
4. I ‘design’ handbags.
I may have understated some things and there may be chapter upon chapter relating to stealing pens from motel chains, but while I may have missed some of the nuance, there can't have been that much more that happened in her life. And it looked like a thick book. Even with the largest type face and leading; and extended kerning I think we can assume there was a lot of padding in the book.
And how hard is it to design a hand bag? I’m a woman – I have hand bags. All appear to be married together by a cohesive design element of handles and the bit you put stuff in. Not particularly complex, I wouldn’t have thought.
On the upside, the Matt Stone and Trey Parker are probably already working on an hilarious follow-up show.
