Why am I happy?
This is why.....
NEW YORK - "The Simple Life" is over at least on Fox. The network said Wednesday it has canceled the Paris Hilton- Nicole Richie reality series after the show's two stars no longer proved compatible.
The feuding ex-friends will not return for a fourth season, even though the network had picked up the options on their contracts.
Fox said its midseason schedule didn't have a time slot for the show.
"We did not see a place for `The Simple Life' on our schedule this season," the network said in a statement.
However, 20th Century Fox Television, the studio that produces the show, hopes "The Simple Life" will move to another network with Hilton and Richie.
"We're disappointed that `The Simple Life' will not continue on Fox where it has performed so well, but we believe this series ... is still a dynamic and valuable franchise," the studio said in a statement. "We hope to be able to announce a new network partner in the coming days."
Bunim-Murray Productions, which produces the show with 20th Century Fox, also released a hopeful statement: "We're very excited about the creative plans for the next group of episodes, and are confident this situation will be remedied quickly."
Us Weekly first reported the show's cancellation. When reached for comment, Hilton didn't sound as though she expected the show to return.
"I'm really excited about my movie projects, my new album and all my various other business ventures," she told the magazine.
.........YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There IS justice in the world!!!!!
Thank you FOX. You've given yourself more credibility.

Or at least less negative credibility.
I can die happy knowing that SOME trash has been taken off the networks!
I like the Simple Life.
I've only seen bits and pieces of it and it still annoys me to no end.
I shall sleep better at night just knowing that nobody else out there will be watching either.
That show, just to let you know, is NOT hot.
i never saw the appeal of it. i saw one episode where they were trying to get out of paying rent by lieing, saying some pet or relative of theirs had died and pretending to cry.. i just wanted to give them a good shaking. oO;
Well, what do ya know. Fox actually does something decent and beneficial for the media world.

I know nothing of The Simple Life, however it MUST be bad if people are celebrating that FOX cancelled it.
I thought FOX had a policy of 3 shows cancelled each week or your money back?
I watch it sometimes, it's not so bad...but after a while, seeing the pair of them do the same thing over and over again gets a little tedious. Ya know, they have a job for a day doing ordinary jobs, and are always rude and always mess things up blah blah blah...it's kinda predictable now.
Simple Life 1 was the best. The one that's come out over here(interns), is absolute rubbish in my opinion.

While that may be true, that's like saying getting smashed in the crotch with a five-pound sledgehammer is the best out of getting smashed in the crotch with either that or a 10- or 20-pound sledgehammer.
And I think that, in addition to cancelling the show, FOX should repay their debt to humanity for airing the show in the first polace and have Paris & the other one slathered in chicken grease and thrown in a pit full of alligators.
Um... Wonderbat? Ouch. Really, really ouch. Thanks for that one.
Good analogy, though.
