Will the madness never end?!?

According to Entertainment Weekly, Nicole Richie is trying to make a reality show comeback, pitching a series that offers contestants the chance to compete to become... the next Nicole Richie.

We'd make a joke here about individuals vying to achie fame with no discernible talent - but that is actually what the show is about!

In order to become the next Nicole Richie, must you wear ridiculous, oversized sunglasses?

The unscripted series would reportedly test each contestant's ability to achieve notoriety (get those sex tapes rolling!). In the end - get this! - the winner would receive his/her own reality show. Yes, it's a reality show to crown the unknown most deserving of another reality show.

At least three cable networks are interested in the cyclical, Apocalyptical concept. We're gonna go bash our heads in with a tire iron.

They're back!

Thin. Headed to jail. And as spoiled as ever - but Paris and Nicole are back for The Simple Life. They sat down with TV Guide before the season premiere:

TV Guide: Have either of you ever been to camp before?
Paris Hilton: I went to camp for one day and I hated it.

TV Guide: How did you prepare for this edition of Simple Life?
Paris: We didn't. We just went in as how we are â€" two best friends. All the adventures we go on on the show are things we've never done before. It was neat to get to experience that.

 TV Guide: With the five different theme camps, did either of you excel in any activity, over the other one?
Paris: We didn't really think about it, we just did it.

TV Guide: But in pageant camp, did you, like, teach the campers runway secrets?
Nicole Richie: They actually taught us. This one 5-year-old knew way more about makeup and hair and everything than I did. But I taught them how to give the finger.

TV Guide: How did that go over?
Nicole: Not that well.

TV Guide: What were the age ranges of the campers?
Nicole: From 5 to 50.
Paris: Oh, older than that. There was a 70-year-old couple.

TV Guide: Did you learn anything from the assorted experts?
Nicole: Yeah. The experts really knew what they were doing. In Survival Camp, [former Green Beret Myke Hawke] sliced his finger open, he'd had stitches and they'd come undone. I'm a huge Grey's Anatomy fan so I was like, "Oh, can I redo your stitches?" He let me do them.

TV Guide: Did you learn that during your plastic-surgery rotation on the season where you were interns?
Nicole: Oh, I didn't even think about that.

TV Guide: Did you learn anything new about each other during the camp situations?
Nicole: I don't think there's anything else to learn, we've known each other for so long. We've taken trips together since we were babies.
Paris: We know everything about each other.
Nicole: It was great just to catch up on lost time and be together and have that time away from Los Angeles and everything, and be alone.

With the next installment of The Simple Life set to premiere May 28, the publicity machine for Paris and Nicole should be hitting overdrive.

Sort of. What do you do when the star of your show is set to go to jail the day before you're booked on David Letterman? Nothing, apparently!

Paris and Nicole are booked to guest on The Late Show June 6, just one day after Paris has been ordered to wear an orange jumpsuit.

The celebrity gossip site TMZ says Hilton is still confirmed for a media tour and other press interviews in the days following Letterman. 

It might be hard to hear Paris Hilton from behind plexiglass. Oh snap!

When asked, rep for Nicole Richie had no comment and Paris' rep, who she's blamed for her whole jail snafu, could not be reached.

Paris Hilton has always been the prime prima donna on the set of E!'s The Simple Life ... until now.

Sources on set tell celebrity gossip blog TMZ that this time around, Nicole Richie got all divalicious during taping of the show's fifth season.

During the shoot, we're told Nicole pulled a Lindsay Lohan, constantly showing up late. She also upped her spoiled behavior to another level during the final shoot of the season, when the all-important "show open" was being taped.

Richie turned up "several hours late" with boyfriend Joel Madden, and then gave producers another impossible deadline. After a serious blow-out argument, we're told producers had to call her agents just to get her to stay on-set.

Who knows where she went, but we're guessing it wasn't to eat a meal. The newest season of The Simple Life, meanwhile, premieres May 28.
