Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton have famously buried the hatchet with a public visit to a Hollywood steakhouse. We reported last week that Nicole and Paris met up at Nicole’s dad’s house, and now they’ve made sure to let the whole world know they’re friends again by stepping out together.
Hilton drove the duo to the restaurant in her Range Rover–considering her driving record of, the fact that Richie was riding shotgun really gives the reconciliation a genuine feel–and the celebutantes entered the restaurant side by side. An hour and a half later, they exited, Richie with doggy bag in hand, and sat adjacent to each other on a bench text-messaging while waiting for the valet to bring the car around.
“We are back!” they said before driving off.
But the reunion between the childhood friends didn’t end there.
E! News has learned that, following the duo’s very public meal, the twosome retired to Hilton’s Hollywood Hills home for a two-person, multi-dog sleepover.
There’s no word yet on what sparked the sudden reconciliation, though perhaps the lack of info is fitting. There’s still no official word on what caused the feud in the first place.
Commentor xiaoecho says that Paris and Nicole never really broke up, and that they kept up the “not talking” act to drum up publicity for their terrible “Simple Life” reality show. If that’s true it’s the first I’ve heard of it, and it seems like they would have been caught together at some point since the paparrazi are camped outside both their houses. They would probably like the public to believe that recent problems in their lives – Paris’ DUI and fight with Shanna Moakler, along with Nicole’s breakup with Brody, brought them back together.
Publicity for the new season of “The Simple Life” is probably the main motivation for their high-profile reconciliation. Indeed, this is supported by a statement from the series’ producer, who admits that the public wants to see them as friends again and that new show will begin taping next month:
The 25-year-old celebutantes will be camp counselors in the newest “Simple Life” adventure, which is set to begin production next month, Murray said. The show will air on E! next spring, he said.
“The Simple Life” producer says he wanted to put Nicole and Paris on a desert island with a “bunch of survivalists” and the idea bothered them so much that they teamed up to make sure they didn’t have to go through with it.
Now they’re set to be incompetent camp counselors, if you give a shit, and the series will use their estrangement and manufactured make-up as fodder for more shows. It’s sure to be as bad or worse as the previous seasons of the “Simple Life,” and I’m content to sit back and read other people’s accounts of how awful it is.
Here are pictures of Nicole and Paris’ dinner taken by X17.
Well that was a waste of my time =/
How do you think I felt writing it?
OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR THEM
Paris looks pleased as punch- as if she has learned her lesson…Nicole looks like it’s business as usual. Perhaps underneath it all Paris isn’t as confident as she would have us believe
Lets see how long their frendship is going to last this time? Good friends my a**!
Nicole looks like a 4 yr old who just finished playing with a tube of lipstick she found in her mothers purse!!
