Say it ain't so

NEW YORK - On-again friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are taking "The Simple Life" — which shows the tabloid-ready celebutantes thrown into everyday situations with real people — to camp. After last season's format allowed the then-feuding friends to have little to do with each other, this year's edition brings them together again.

"The Simple Life Goes to Camp," set to debut in May, has Hilton and Richie working as counselors at Camp Shawnee in the mountains near Los Angeles. . .


"Paris and Nicole will be advising and training girls and their moms for beauty pageants, or providing therapy for couples seeking to strengthen their relationships," she said.

They are going to be "counselors".

They will be giving advice to children.

Spank your child in public and someone will call the cops and report you for child abuse, but turning your daughter over to Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie and you get to be on TV.

Lord come back; it's time.
