FOX Confirms Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie Will Reunite on The Simple Life  7/29/05

Feuding beauties Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are reuniting whether they like it or not, after bosses of their reality show The Simple Life confirmed they will be filming a fourth season.

Peter Liguori, president of FOX Entertainment, says that while he doubts the pair have ironed out their differences they still have to fulfill their contractual obligations and film a fourth season of the hit show together.

He states, "Both (contracts) have been picked up, both will be ready for work, and we'll work it out."

The re-teaming of the two shuts out speculation that Rod Stewart's statuesque daughter Kimberly will replace Richie.

While the show has followed the pair as they travel around America working in various jobs, Liguori says the format of the next season has yet to be determined, although it is likely to follow their separate wedding plans.

Hilton, engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, and Richie, who's set to marry Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein, ended their lifelong friendship mysteriously earlier this year (05).

Hilton has only disclosed, "Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it."
