Ill never forget that moment.
That was really special, Hilton tellsRolling Stone.
It was very emotional.
What an entrance, us just floating down.
That was so epic, Hilton says.
It was just a flow of emotions and happiness.
We were feeling so proud of what we had put together.
It makes me proud that people see us as the mothers of this.
The Simple Lifehas had a surprisingly lasting impact.
She learned about its resurgence thanks to her own kids, who are teenagers.
My kids were watching clips and their friends were watching clips.
Just as a way to celebrate this really great show that we did 20 years ago.
When we decided to come back we said to each other, What would that look like?
What would that feel like?
We just really built it from the ground up, Richie says.
On Season One ofThe Simple Life, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.
I think thats the biggest difference.
Richie on the other hand has mostly stayed out of the realm ofreality TVuntil now.
I would give this experience a 20 out of 10.
We had the best time and who knows what the future will bring, she says.
