This just sounds cruel. In a strange twist, waytoo skinny Nicole Richie and her 'Simple Life' partner Paris Hilton are off to fat camp. No - Nicole is trying to lose more weight, according to a report the pair will be counseling overweight campers on the fifth season of 'The Simple Life.' "They are going to be camp counselors at one camp in the Southern California Mountains," says an E! spokesperson.

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie to 'Fat Camp' For a Week

"The camp has five different themes. Each week will be a different theme. And yes, one week is a weight loss/fitness camp. It's not a fat camp."

Us Weekly magazine has some fun with the irony. Noelle Hancock writes: You have to hand it to E! There's a subtle genius to hiring a celebrity who's admitted to suffering from an eating problem to counsel people at a weight loss camp -- one who was hospitalized two weeks ago because she forgot that she's supposed to drink things.

Add to that, Paris Hilton once padded around with a burger that likely has about 500 calories and about 50 grams of fat in a revealing black swimsuit. It all seems a bit odd but shockingly the show is entering its fifth season and has survived numerous break ups between Nicole and Paris.
