Paris Hilton raves about her long-term friendship with Nicole Richie ahead of the reality show's reboot on Peacock

Paris Hilton raved about her long-standing friendship with Nicole Richie during an appearance on the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Thursday.

The 43-year-old socialite was on the NBC talk show to promote the release of her second studio album, Infinite Icon, wearing a sparkly blue long-sleeved dress.

Jimmy, 49, eagerly urged her to elicit information about reuniting with 42-year-old Nicole for a reality show after they appeared together on the series “The Simple Life.”

“Yes. We're back,” Paris said of her upcoming Peacock show with Nicole, titled “Paris & Nicole: The Encore.”

“It was so much fun,” she added.

“This is crazy. It was great? It turned out? It was fun?” Jimmy said.

“When I’m with Nicole, we become teenagers again,” Paris said.

Paris said they worked at the Sonic Fast Food Drive-In again after it appeared in the original series.

“We went back to Arkansas and visited family and everyone else,” she added.

Jimmy showed photos comparing their Sonic uniforms from 2003 to 2024.

Paris praised Nicole's commitment to wearing a full-body hot dog mascot costume in the scorching heat.

“It was so hot outside that day. I just thought, 'That was awesome,'” Paris said.

Paris admitted that her family was initially skeptical about the reality show concept.

“Yes. We're back,” Paris said of her upcoming Peacock show with Nicole, titled “Paris & Nicole: The Encore.”

“My mom and my sister said, 'You're crazy,'” Paris said of her mother Kathy and sister Nicky.

“Originally they wanted my sister and I to do it, but Nicky said, 'No, no way.' So I thought who would be the perfect person and Nicole. We've been doing everything together since we were two years old. After my mom saw it, she was like, 'I was wrong this time,'” Paris said.

While promoting “Infinite Icon,” Paris said the timing of the release was perfect as it completes her trilogy of personal projects.

“I've always loved music so much,” she said, “and I just thought the timing was perfect, especially with the release of my documentary 'This is Paris' and then my memoir right after that. And now this is kind of my third installment of telling my story through my music.”

Paris also confirmed that she plans to tour in support of the album.

“For the last few weeks I've just done a few rehearsals with my choreographer and my dancers. So we're getting ready for the tour,” she said.

Paris also gave a glimpse into her personal life. She mentioned that she would be bringing her children to New York, and Jimmy took the opportunity to compliment her on her “beautiful babies.” A photo of Paris with her husband Carter and their children Phoenix and London was shown, which drew great admiration from the audience.

“Originally they wanted my sister and I to do it, but Nicky said 'no way.' So I thought who would be the perfect person and Nicole. We've been doing everything together since we were two years old. After my mom saw it, she said, 'I was wrong for once,'” Paris said of The Simple Life.

While promoting Infinite Icon, Paris said the timing of the release was perfect as it concludes her trilogy of personal projects.

She told a nice story about her son Phoenix's first words. Unlike the usual words “mommy” or “daddy,” Phoenix's first was “yes,” which amused Jimmy greatly.

Paris revealed that Phoenix started learning a song she and Nicole wrote when she was about six years old.

Jimmy also shared a photo of young Paris on her high school hockey team. She explained that she learned to skate at the nearby Rockefeller Center and decided to try out for the hockey team when she found out her high school had one.

Paris later presented Jimmy with an honorary degree from the Bad B**** Academy. Jimmy said he “appreciated” the honor and promised to display his degree at home.
