'no' Simple Life

N.J. school says 'no' to 'Simple Life'.
Producers of the show starring hotel heiress Paris Hilton and her friend Nicole Richie had approached school officials in December, offering to pay $5,000 to film an episode at a school in the mostly rural community 30 miles west of Atlantic City.

But some parents responded angrily, saying the co-stars weren't fit role models.

"I just feel that it's ludicrous that the Board of Education and the administration would invite Paris Hilton to teach 11-, 12- and 13-year-olds, and Nicole Richie, too," parent Sue Barber said last week. "Their reputation leaves a lot to be desired."
