The simple life's a bitch

If you thought the first few seasons of "The Simple Life" were awful, you've really got to take a peek at the cringe-inducing fourth season. Week after week, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie engage in nothing but painfully staged, idiotic scenarios that make their time living on an Arkansas farm look like pure genius by comparison. Back then, at least they could play off each other. These days, Nicole's only claim to fame seems to be an ability to pour shots and talk dirty to married men, while Paris doesn't even pretend to have anything to say, aside from, "Call me bitch."
