Three weeks after the release of the scandalous video, Paris Hilton’s first reality television show premiered. Paris Hilton had partnered with childhood friend Nicole Richie on “The Simple Life”, a reality show featuring two socialites who attempt to make it in the “real world”, working blue-collar jobs and performing menial tasks such as milking cows.
