THE SIMPLE LIFE (2003)

Plot

Paris Hilton, heiress to the Hilton hotel empire, and her best friend Nicole Richie (daughter of that great ceiling-groover Lionel) are spoilt and extremely ridiculous. In one of reality television's best brainwaves, the clueless pair are relocated from Beverly Hills to Altus, Arkansas (a.k.a. Middle of Nowhere). They have no money, no mobile phones, no credit cards, and must work on a family farm, in a taxidermist's rural business and so on. They're extraordinarily irritating and destructive behaviour makes for brilliant and, more often than not, cringeworthy viewing. Just don't kick the screen so hard it breaks ... you will loathe them even more. Props to Paris for not having a maid pack her bags.
