"Simple" Plan: Paris, Nicole Hop a Bus

Paris Hilton may want to give Monica Lewinsky a call for some tips on the hotel heiress' next gig.
Not that--as those well-distributed videotapes suggest, Paris could teach the former Bill Clinton paramour a thing or two. But it's Lewinsky's work experience as a White House intern that might aid the celebutante in her next adventure, as she and sidekick Nicole Richie embark on The Simple Life 3: Interns, the third go-round of their Fox TV reality series.
Production on the show begins Tuesday in New York City, with Paris and Nicole hopping a Greyhound bus and preparing to tour the East Coast for the next month.
Along the way, the pals will make several stops, dropping in as houseguests on local families and performing short internships for various businesses and political offices.
Fox reps say the show doesn't have a premiere date yet, but season two of the series premiered last January, and January 2005 may be a likely date for the network to spring the duo's latest shenanigans on viewers.
In the show's first season, Paris and childhood chum Nicole, the adopted daughter of pop star Lionel Richie, swapped their Beverly Hills mansions and Rodeo Drive shopping sprees for the rural life, living and working--well, sorta--on a farm in Arkansas.
And during season two's action, the women drove an Airstream trailer on a cross-country road trip that was supposed to take them from Florida to California, though they'd had enough of life on the road--and working for a living--by the time they hit Texas.
This time, Hilton and Richie will leave the driving to Greyhound, traveling around on a standard bus and possibly even sharing the vehicle with other unsuspecting passengers.
Meanwhile, with their wanderlust hankerings playing out on TV, both Hilton and Richie have other projects cooking. Hilton will open new Club Paris hotspots in Las Vegas and Orlando on New Year's Eve, and will design her own personal suite at the Aladdin casino and hotel on the Strip in Vegas. The suite will be available for other guests when Paris has checked out, so to speak.
Hilton has also, in recent months, published a book, recorded a pop music CD, begun selling a line of jewelry on Amazon.com, filmed a role in the upcoming National Lampoon big-screen comedy Pledge This! and been linked romantically to tennis aces Mark Philippoussis and Andy Roddick.
And Richie has her own lineup of extracurricular activities on deck, including shopping a proposal for a self-esteem advice book for teens, her own musical endeavors, and, according to a TV insider, pitching a syndicated talk show that she would host.
As for their reality bus excursion, there's one moment that's sure to be a highlight for viewers: Can you imagine the spoiled sports' faces when they discover the Greyhound's on-board powder room? Priceless.
