We long ago came around on the brilliant Nicole Richie, snubbed by the Hollywood Foreign Press for her searing comedic work in The Simple Life. But we never thought we would love us some Paris Hilton, Richie's gal Friday on the former Fox show all us Nineties kids watched and loved in silence.

But we have never really come around on the arrogant and—we must admit, ridiculously gifted Kanye West—but figured because he was talented, we should just endure his petulant behavior. Even when he tried to become a designer by kinda ripping off Phoebe Philo and Riccardo Tisci, and even, somehow more begrudgingly, when those designs resulted in perhaps the first ever high-priced, low-end line of ill advised lady wears,complete with pearl-rimmed heels. (Retail Price: $6,000)

Now, oddly enough, we are loving us some Paris (And her hottie BF, model River Viiperi), who has become remarkably self-aware, with some help from Sofia Coppola, and is over Kanye and his, well, just Kanye-ness.

We finally have something in common with Kris Jenner!

Compare these recent interviews from the two below, and you'll feel us.

Paris Hilton on misconceptions:

There are definitely a lot of misconceptions about me. People just assume that because my last name is Hilton, I don’t work and I’m spoiled and everything is just handed to me. It’s actually the complete opposite. I could’ve just been one of these trust-fund kids, but as soon as I moved to New York, I signed to Donald Trump’s modeling agency at 16 and started making money. From there, I built my own brand with 17 product lines. I haven’t accepted anything from my parents since I was 18 years old. Also, with "The Simple Life," people think because I’m blonde and because of that show, that I’m an airhead, but if they saw me in a boardroom or business meeting doing my thing, they’d feel differently.

Kanye West on misconceptions:

I think what Kanye West is going to mean is something similar to what Steve Jobs means. I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve of Internet, downtown, fashion, culture. Period. By a long jump. I honestly feel that because Steve has passed, you know, it's like when Biggie passed and Jay-Z was allowed to become Jay-Z.

Need we say more?

It would seem that Kim Kardashian should have latched on and focused her sycophantic powers on her former BFF, and not Yeezy.

Paris is coming back, kids.
