Nicole and Paris move on to more roles

LOS ANGELES, June 28 (UPI) -- Nicole Richey and Paris Hilton of Fox TV's "The Simple Life" have parlayed their reality show celebrity into other roles, TV Guide reported.

Richey will appear in the Sept. 12 episode of HBO's "Six Feet Under" and Hilton has been signed to star as a sorority president in "National Lampoon's Pledge This!," said the current issue of TV Guide.

In "Six Feet Under," Richey will play a celebrity who attends Claire's first art show and ends up purchasing one of the paintings in a role that sounds autobiographical.

"They never say it's Nicole Richey," Richey's spokesperson said. "They never really call her by name."
