Paris and Nicole have each talked about the fact that they are no longer friends, although neither has revealed the reason. Hilton recently called Richie a "snob". She said, "Fame affects people in different ways. I’ve always remained the same girl, and she’s just not the same person any more. I think she just let fame get to her head. She’s only nice to famous people. I don’t know what happened to her. She’s just not the same sweet girl I used to know.”
Hilton added, “I wish that she’d come back. It breaks my heart."
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have continued to star in their television series Simple Life. Hilton also starred in the film House of Wax.
