So much for saying “Sanasa!” to a new season of The Simple Life.
Although the reality show’s official Twitter account posted a series of cryptic messages Tuesday alluding to frenemies Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan teaming up for a reboot, a source tells EW that there is no truth to rumors about a planned revival on Netflix. The Simple Life Twitter account has also lost its verified checkmark, calling the authenticity of its recent tweets into question.
The account had stoked fan interest by sharing an old photo of Lohan and Hilton accompanied by the caption “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” It also tweeted emojis of a blond woman and a red-haired woman, leading fans to assume another installment of the show was in the works.
The Simple Life Twitter account also teased that Lohan — who is reportedly planning a return to pop music — would be involved in the supposed reboot’s new theme song.
The Simple Life originally followed Hilton and fellow socialite Nicole Richie as they comedically immersed themselves in blue-collar life in rural areas around the country. It aired its fifth and final season 12 years ago on E!, after debuting on Fox in 2003. Lohan, Hilton’s on-again, off-again friend, would have taken over for Richie, according to Tuesday’s tweets.
Though Lohan and Hilton were friends throughout the 2000s, they had a public falling out that has stretched into 2019. Appearing on an episode of Watch What Happens Live in May, Hilton called Lohan “beyond,” “lame,” and “embarrassing,” though Lohan responded with a message of her own on social media shortly after Hilton dropped a new single: “#beyond friends are true,” Lohan tweeted. “Love @parishilton congratulations on your new song!”
In recent months, Lohan has returned to Hollywood after exploring various business endeavors, including opening destination day clubs in Greece. Her Mykonos location served as the backdrop for season 1 of her MTV reality series Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club, which aired its season 1 finale in March. Though it has been reported that the fledgling program had been canceled, EW confirmed with a source that a decision has yet to be made on the future of the docuseries.
“I’m just on a different path right now, and I have so many things on my plate that I don’t want to go backwards and put everything else back on my plate. I’m happy where I am,” Lohan told EW ahead of the Beach Club premiere. “This is me as I am as a person now.”
