Lionel Richie weighed in on Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton’s new reality TV series after the May 19 'American Idol' finale, saying that the new project 'scares me' because the duo 'haven't changed' since 'The Simple Life' went off the air in 2007.

Lionel Richie 's life isn't exactly about to get simple. The 74-year-old performer and American Idol judge is afraid of what's to come now that his daughter, Nicole Richie, and her longtime pal, Paris Hilton, have teased their return to reality TV.

Nicole Richie jokes that her kids don't care about her new show with Paris Hilton, noting they said, 'Can you drive me to Sephora?' Richie shares her son and daughter with her musician husband Joel Madden.

With 'The Simple Life,' Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie set the standard for millennial fashion and transformed the reality TV world.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are returning to their reality TV roots. After much speculation, the longtime pals and "Simple Life" co-stars just confirmed that they're reuniting for a new TV show. The two stars dropped the news on Monday in a joint video announcement on Instagram.

Paris, for her part, is a successful DJ (uhm, hi, did you catch her recent Coachella performance ?!?!) and has a family of her own. The heiress recently welcomed son Phoenix, 16 months, and London, 7 months, with her husband Carter Reum.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie confirmed they are to star in new Peacock reality series, 17 years after The Simple Life ended.

It has been more than 20 years since Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie ‘s The Simple Life premiered. The reality series followed the wealthy socialites as they struggled to do manual, low-paying jobs such as cleaning rooms, farm work, serving meals in fast-food restaurants, and working as camp counselors.
