With a fourth season of "The Simple Life" unofficially off the schedule, Nicole Richie could be planning to join her anorexic buddy Mischa Barton on "The O.C."

According to an insider, Nicole wants to get an acting gig in the worst way and Mischa has been pushing for executives to cast Nicole as the new girl in town. "FOX loves Nicole," the insider says. "Since The O.C. also airs on FOX, Nicole could easily be added to that cast. Nicole is a huge fan of The O.C. and she loves Mischa. She'd love to join that show."
Heck, if this is true, I'll start watching The O.C. again if Nicole joins the cast. (Source: nw.ninemsn.com.au)
