Paris Hilton Thrown From Horse in Taping
Sat Mar 20, 9:42 PM ET
TAMPA, Fla. - Paris Hilton was hospitalized after a horse she was riding threw her off and kicked her in the stomach during the taping of "The Simple Life 2," a reality show featuring the hotel heiress and a friend on a 30-day cross-country trip.
Hilton, 23, was first treated at the scene in rural Florida north of Tampa on Friday, then taken to a hospital, said Chris Alexander, publicist for 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles.
The kick to the stomach left her bruised, but she was not seriously injured, said St. Joseph's Hospital spokeswoman Lisa Patterson. Hilton was released about three hours after she was brought in and was never admitted to the hospital, she said.
Hilton was able to walk around immediately after the accident, Alexander said.
Camera crews were taping the socialite-turned-TV star when she was thrown, Alexander said.
The sequel to "The Simple Life" features Hilton and Nicole Richie on a monthlong cross-country trip with no money, credit cards, cell phones or boyfriends. The show is set to hit Fox in June.
Hilton, the leggy blonde hotel heiress, and Richie, daughter of singer Lionel Richie (news), helped make the first season of "The Simple Life" a huge success for Fox.
The young women appeared to break free from their sheltered upbringings, working odd jobs milking cows and hawking burgers at a fast-food restaurant while living with a family in ultra-rural Altus, Ark., population 817

Stooping to new lows (NYPOST)
Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton
Poor Paris Hilton goes from begging to being trampled by a horse on the long-awaited sequel to "The Simple Life."
Well, to be honest, I wasn't long-awaiting it, but some people have been, so here's a preview of what happens when "The Simple Life 2: Road Trip" premieres Wednesday, June 16, at 8 p.m. on Fox.
In "SL 2," Paris and her friend (now foe, according to the gossip columns), Nicole Richie, embark on a journey from Miami Beach to Beverly Hills.
This will give them the opportunity to touch down in a variety of hamlets, where they'll shack up with people city folk refer to as "hicks."
The first gang of befuddled bumpkins to get the Paris-Nicole treatment are the Battens, who live among a collection of hunting trophies on a ranch somewhere in central Florida.
As revealed by a preview tape sent to critics earlier this week, Paris and Nicole arrive in Bumpkinville via a pink pickup truck towing a trendy, streamlined Airstream.
It's a pretty fancy way to go cross-country, but not for Paris and Nicole, who have been compelled to give up all their cash and credit cards.
Because of this forced (and contrived) poverty, the girls resort to begging — at a toll plaza, at a gas station and in a convenience store.
At the Batten Family Ranch, though, the girls go from begging to working, which includes picking up fresh cowpies with a shovel and removing them to a compost heap.
Here, the producers of "The Simple Life 2" have seen the need to videotape these great masses of manure in extreme closeup.
Mercifully, the excrement excitement soon subsides, and it's time for Paris and Nicole to saddle up and take two of the Battens' horses for a spin.
The girls seem experienced enough at riding, but when Paris kicks her mount into a full gallop, the animal bounces her off and steps on her — a scene caught on videotape and seen in its entirety on "The Simple Life 2."
While some meanies might be tempted to stand up and cheer at this point, Paris' injuries seem serious enough for her to be evacuated by helicopter to the nearest hospital.
The good news is, the injuries turn out to be minor and Paris is well enough to once again hit the road, where — among other things — she and Nicole will get a job stuffing sausage casings in one town and work as sheriff's deputies (and jail matrons) in another — neither of which sounds "Simple" to me.

The Simple Life 2
Wednesday 8/7c
Road Trip! Paris & Nicole are taking over America! PREMIERE! ( ;D ;D I can't wait )
THE SIMPLE LIFE 2 follows celebutantes and best friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as they pack up their Louis Vuitton bags... again. Only this time, it's for the ultimate cross country road trip when THE SIMPLE LIFE 2 premieres Wednesday, June 16th. On this night, FOX will air a special bonus episode at 8/7c and the regularly-scheduled episode at 9/8c.
Armed with a road map and their trendy dogs Tinkerbell and Honey Child, the girls leave behind their luxurious lifestyles as they embark on a modern-day "Thelma & Louise" adventure that brings new meaning to the phrase "road kill." From the jet stream to the Airstream, the privileged princesses pack up their hot pink pickup truck with all the travel necessities -- Manolo Blahnik shoes, Pucci scarves and Marc Jacobs purses -- as they say goodbye to private parties and hello to public restrooms.
The outrageous fish-out-of-bottled-water series focuses on Hilton and Richie, who are again stripped of their cell phones, cash and credit cards. Departing from Miami Beach, FL and ending up in Beverly Hills, CA, the girls must navigate their way through this wild ride full of new jobs, host families and small towns across the country. From making reservations at The Ivy to making sausages for the locals, from trapping hot guys to trapping crawfish, these hilarious heiresses discover that life on the open road can sometimes drive you crazy. As the girls go from life in the fast lane to life in the carpool lane, the question still remains: can they survive THE SIMPLE LIFE 2? And can America survive them?

DISRESPECT
Pampered pair not high on South
By JEAN PRESCOTT
BILOXI - Are you sitting down, South Mississippi?
We hate to bring you bad news, but Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie won't be coming back to Biloxi.
"This is the bush... the outback," Hilton told an Entertainment Weekly reporter who followed the pair during their spring 2004 stay on the Mississippi Coast (other choice comments appear below and on Page 40 of the June 11 issue of the magazine).
Hilton, hotel heiress, and celebrity daughter Richie (her dad is singer Lionel Richie) spent time here in late March to tape part of Fox network's "The Simple Life 2: Road Trip," the surreal sequel to the original "The Simple Life." That earlier show drew an average of 13 million viewers, so Fox simply couldn't let it die.
Part two begins next Wednesday (June 16), but already EW has published comments by the pampered pair about their experiences on the trip from Miami to Los Angeles, one that took them not only to Biloxi but Kissimmee, Fla.; Lafayette, La.; and Austin, too.
Executive producer Jonathan Murray says he chose the Southern sojourn because it was "the only way to see the girls in bikinis in springtime... We're not doing radio here."
Reporter Jessica Shaw followed the young women on the Biloxi leg, which included sausage stuffing in Jackson County and an "artery-clogging meal" at Cajun's Fabulous Fried Chicken, where the women chowed down on rice, beans, corn on the cob, buttered biscuits, fried chicken and, for Paris, "a big ol' brownie."
Shaw remained on their trail through a visit to the spa at Beau Rivage, where the fish-out-of-water duo indulged in manicures and pedicures. And the EW reporter recorded virtually every observation and comment, including these:
Richie on sausage-stuffing: "I was trying to get the sausage into the intestines and I left my finger on for too long, and I let it go, and it exploded... all this sick, disgusting (bleep) all over the ceilings and the walls."
Hilton, on a poster for Sen. Trent Lott: "Oh, my God... (We're) deep in Bush country."
Richie, on the South in general: "This IS the bush. They haven't developed yet. Maybe it's because they don't want to."
