I was surprised to learn (via People or US) that Nicole Ritchie is Lionel's adopted daughter. She's also Michael Jackson's goddaughter (I guess back when he was still Cool).

At least Ally and Jamie think they're smart, good people. These two bitches know how retarded and superficial they are.....
.

The funniest thing tonight is when they were playing the game and Paris and Nicole knew all about Cannes and DKNY but did not know who the Sec. of State was and Braxton did. He's a little cutie.

Nicole's fake crying was riddiculous. She's an idiot. And I can't believe she's going to trash the bar in the next episode. They're going to drop kick her out of town.

I was cracking up when Nicole was crying... in the previews, I thought she was really crying, but I was like oooh, when she splashed the water on her face. I felt bad for their boss though.

What was up with Nicole going crazy in the bar and pouring bleach on the pool table? And all because of her purse. I wonder if she was on something. You know all of Atlus hates the Leddings for bringing those girls to town.

I saw the first episode and got sucked into it..hahaha. It was really hilarious watching those two interact with people. I saw tonight's episode and it was simply unbelievable.

Here's a story on Paris' boyfriend while she was in Altus. The fact he turned her down to go to UofA is somewhat humorous.

Paris' bf

Word on the Australian streets is that Paris Hilton hooked up with an Australian Idol finalist (Robert Mills) when she was "Down Under"

(the term that my Aussie friend used was that she "shagged" one of the finalists)

I heard on the radio (or was it on TV) that Paris was dating Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys. And, that they have apparently moved in together.

Anyways, its about time they showed new episodes. I was getting tired of the re-runs.

Did anyone else notice that in the last episode, when the girls were looking @ pictures, there was one with a guy wearing a Kappa Alpha jersey?

Braxton cracked me up. He's an old soul.

I would have been all about Chops, too. He was cute!

I'm going to miss the show. I got used to those crazy girls.

braxton was a cutie!!

and you could buy the dvd so you can watch them all the time!

I could be wrong, but I don't think she's adopted.

I don't know much about Paris beyond THE VIDEO, but I saw an interview with Nicole on E! a few days ago and she seems like a very funny, charming young woman. So either she was acting in the interview I saw or creative license was taken with the editing by the procuders of Simple Life!

One thing I thought was cute is Nicole has a tattoo of a pair of toe shoes on her hip in honor of the sone "Ballerina Girl" that her father wrote for her :)

she is adopted. from what i heard it was a friend of lionel and his ex-wife who couldn't raise her at the time, so lionel adopted her.


eta: here's the article: http://people.aol.com/people/magazin...8193-2,00.html

Her birth father, a musician, and mother, a backstage assistant (whom she declines to name), split up even before Nicole was born in Berkeley, Calif. Lionel Richie was so taken with Nicole, a fixture at his concerts, that he got her parents' approval to let her move into his L.A. home when she was 3. Six years later she was adopted by the Richies. "My parents were friends with Lionel," says Nicole. "They trusted that they would be better able to provide for me."
