> Like daughter, like mother: Kathy Hilton -- mother of "The Simple
> Life" star Paris Hilton -- has landed her own reality series at NBC.
> Peacock has ordered eight episodes of "The Good Life," which will
> follow Hilton as she teaches 10 young women how to fit into high
> society.
>
> Based out of New York's Waldorf-Astoria hotel, contestants will learn
> different skills each week -- and Hilton will eliminate one woman
> each week who failed to perfect the task. Sources close to the
> project call it "My Fair Lady" meets "The Apprentice."
>
> But even as they're voted off, contestants will still score a hefty
> prize. And the ultimate "Good Life" winner will receive a year's stay
> at the Waldorf-Astoria as well as a car, clothing and jewelry. Hilton
> will also use her connections to find the champ a job in one of
> several industries, such as fashion or publishing.
>
> Paul Buccieri has joined forces with Endemol USA to produce "The Good
> Life"; the team is already paired up on Fox's upcoming Oscar de la
> Hoya project, "The Next Great Champ".
>
> Hilton and her husband, Rick, until now best known as the parents of
> wild children Paris and Nicky, will both produce.
