Evil Genius?
Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton are going to be counselors at a weight loss camp for a week, as part of the next season of The Simple Life.
"Sending Richie, the poster child for eating disorders, into a 'fat camp' is just plain obscene, not to mention dangerous. 'Proper eating' consists of more than laxatives and Red Bull, and Paris is no wellness champ either unless, of course, your idea of 'wellness' involves mixing a line of blow with Strawberry Quik to balance its bitter aftertaste."
It's kind of a genius idea in its own way, though. Two people who know nothing about health and who stay thin thanks to drugs, teaching the youth of tomorrow. Let's just hope the youth of tomorrow is... not all that impressionable.

Yep just read that juicy bit on the net today, as you say, it's madness! Must be a PR stunt me thinks, otherwise someone is seriously screwed in the head.
Hoefully the kids will see them as ridiculous rather than role models. Bleh.
I agree that this is cray-zee, but who is running this camp that would allow this to happen?
What better way to convince the fat camp kids that there is more to life than looks and body size, than to put these morons on parade?
I hope several people pull their kids from "wellness" camp that week in protest.
(Did not read the other comments before replying. Sigh of relief that the camp is for adults.)
I hope the campers feed Nicole some whole wheat pasta and make Paris so miserable she leaves.
Wouldn't you ask for your money back if you found out that Paris-ite and Nic-hole were going to be your "counselors"? I mean, WTF? Fat camps aren't cheap solutions to being fat and I'd expect counseling beyond "Have you tried snorting cocaine and puking up everything you eat?"
Or maybe it's a get-fat camp. Wouldn't that be more appropriate?
I went to a fat camp in my teens, and let me tell you, it is a toxic environment any way you slice it. Paris and Nicole couldn't possibly make matters worse for those people who have entrusted themselves to money-hungry camp owners who care about absolutely nothing more than having their "campers" lose weight at an unsafe rate so they can pimp impressive results to potential campers. Hell, maybe being part of the Simple Life would be a blessing to the campers since fat camps always tend to put on a show when the media is around. They give larger portions of food, actually let the ill and injured campers rest (and there are many ill and injured campers), and for a change treat their campers and counselors like human beings. So, if the Simple Life gives these adult campers a break from the non-televised crap of fat camp, good for them.
