Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, having apparently overslept their sewage date in filming "The Simple Life," turned their attention to deer hunting.
Officials said they believed the show's producers planned to film the sexy socialites gutting the creature in one of their patented forays into rural life, the Newark Star-Ledger said. A spokesman for the show said his group was not involved in the shooting.
Hilton and Richie are being filmed in a series of internships for the show and Thursday they were supposed to put in a shift at the Caprioni cesspool company in rural Belleplain, N.J.
But, they were no-shows. The Philadelphia Inquirer said they played paintball and took off in a red sport utility vehicle, reportedly to shoot at a man dressed like a deer.
