Paris and Nicole's Opera Adventure with “Sanasa”

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie reunite for "Paris & Nicole: The Encore," an operatic twist on their hit song "Sanasa," blending nostalgia with fresh ideas!

The reunion of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie for a new TV project is all about one word: Sanasa! Over 20 years after their iconic reality series, The Simple Life, the duo is set to return with a show titled Paris & Nicole: The Encore. This upcoming project will blend nostalgia with fresh ideas, centering around an operatic performance of their fictional hit song, "Sanasa."

In a recent interview with W magazine, Hilton expressed her excitement about the unexpected concept of the opera, while Richie emphasized the public's unrecognized need for "Sanasa" to take on an operatic form. The origin of "Sanasa" dates back to when they were just seven years old, serving as an inside joke during the filming of The Simple Life. It eventually became a beloved sensation among fans.

Hilton and Richie mentioned that they had been approached with various concepts over the years, but this particular opportunity felt like "perfect timing" for their reunion. Richie recalled texting Paris during the Christmas season about the upcoming 20th anniversary, leading to their collaboration. "Should we do something L-O-Ls?" she wrote, and after letting the idea develop, it felt right for both of them.

While filming the new show, Hilton noted that they feel like "teenagers again" on set. They also addressed past rumors of a feud that supposedly affected the original series. Richie clarified that while there was a season where they didn’t film together, their lives have always been intertwined, and their friendship has lasted nearly 40 years. Hilton added that media exaggerations during that time made their relationship seem more contentious than it truly was. "Nicole and I have been best friends since we were 2 years old. She’s like my sister," Hilton said.

Originally, The Simple Life aired for five seasons from 2003 to 2007, showcasing the socialites as they ventured into rural America, trying to blend into small-town life by taking on various jobs, including working on a farm and in fast food restaurants.
