October 19th, 2005 New York, NY – Fox Television has borrowed Martha Stewart’s new catchphrase, “You just don’t fit in,” and flung it at Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. The fourth season of The Simple Life finds itself homeless after Fox announced it had no room for the ex-best friends forever, and as filming for the new season begins in two weeks The Simple Life is looking for a new network to call home.
However, a lot can happen in between shopping for a new network and the fourth season’s first episode of The Simple Life airing on T.V. For instance, a pregnancy, a sex tape, a fist fight – the world is their oyster and anything is possible. But life has been made much easier thanks to analysts at BetCRIS.com who’ve calculated the odds on Hilton/Richie stunts and the odds on which network will pick up The Simple Life:

“Both Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have managed to become celebrities based on their family name, fame and personalities,” said Mickey Richardson, CEO of BetCRIS.com. “And both of these girls have marketed themselves quite well because of it – books, perfume, television, parties; see them going rather far in their ability to promote themselves.”
