FOX Cancels "The Simple Life"

Will Paris Hilton have to get a real job? Probably not, but E! Online says that she won't have to report to work on "The Simple Life" anymore. FOX has offically canceled the show.

The network says there is no room on their schedule -- after all, they already have a lot of dramas. Rumor has it that stars Hilton and Nicole Richie can't stand each other. Most likely, neither one will miss dirtying their finely manicured mitts either. After all, there are parties to attend!

The series sort of ran its course, taking the girls all over the country to participate in various tasks that they normally wouldn't be caught dead doing. In my opinion, it made the two of them look like idiots, but even worse, it sort of demeaned occupations that a lot of people consider to be their livelihood.

Off my soapbox -- it's gone. Now how will we all go on without that extra Hilton half hour each week? If you're getting the shakes from withdrawl, the first two seasons of "The Simple Life" are currently available on DVD.
