The Paris Hilton-Trey Lindley Aftermath

The little town of Altus, AK, not Bethlehem, is still reeling from The Simple Life stars Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, who were anything but simple, according to The Star Magazine.

Up until now, Altus has been positive about the whole pr affair. But lately, as The Star reports, bitterness has set in. It's the extreme wealth that Paris is generating on top of her already considerable fortune that is sizzling the playa hating juices of the little town of Altus. Julia Campbell writes:

"The small town of Altus -- population, 817 -- agreed to let Fox come in to film the show because they believed it would put their little town on the map and bring in much-needed revenue from tourism. Well, the town is definitely on the map, but so far, Altus has netted a mere $59 from the girls' participation in a kissing booth at the town's annual spring festival, the Springdale Gala. Meanwhile, Paris reportedly stands to make more than $3 million from a sequel show and other projects. 'Must be nice,'says Altus' mayor, Veronica Post. 'We would have been happy with $150,000 for a new fire station.'"

Trey Lindley, Paris' boytoy, is still milking his 15 minutes of fame, because according to the article:

"Trae Lindley, was 'smitten' with the hotel heiress, according to Trae's father, George Lindley. The couple occasionally still talk on the phone, he says. 'When she was down here, they were always together,' says Russell Sturdivant, 19, who played basketball with Trae. 'But I don't know how serious it was.'

"George Lindley says the feelings between his son and Paris were mutual, but that it was Paris who plucked his son out of a crowd. 'Trae is not the type to go over and be forward and introduce himself and say 'Hey, I'm the big man on campus,' George says. 'Apparently, Paris picked him.'"

But there were other boys, I mean, you don't expect your typical boy crazy socialite alpha female to settle down with one
mate in her sojourn into the heartlands:

"Lindley wasn't Paris' only pick, say locals. One boy, who would not give his name, claimed that he had a fling with Paris. Karen Stites, whose husband Scott owns the local bar Hog Calls, says Paris planted a wet kiss on her husband's lips. 'He was so proud of it because she's a celebrity,' she says. 'I guess he figured it was a free pass.' Bill 'Buffalo' Leding, owner of the Lakeside Mart gas station and convenience store says, 'We've got some pretty girls around here, but when you bring someone to the town who's confident and spends the money taking care of herself, these boys are bound to swoon over her.'"

Read it for yourself.

I don't know how can people look a show like this, I mean a couple of blonde girls, making nothing interesting than show a high idiocy level.

I miss the simple life but I know that a reboot really isn't practical. It's 15 years later the girls are now young women Nicole's and mommy and you can't go back and try to be teenagers or early twenties and do silly stuff when you're in your late thirties. I know Trae got married I wonder does he have any children? The last I knew he worked for Netflix and he was an accountant with a bachelor's degree who is his wife and what does she do?
