Nicole Richie NRICHIESUMMER0607_show.jpg"Hello? Is that fame calling? Hold on, I have stardom on the other line ..."

Nicole certainly understands how to be famous for nothing -- hell, she learned for the expert -- her former BFF, Paris Hilton!

Now Nicole wants to parlay that "talent" into a TV show. EW.com reports Nicole has been shopping around a reality show in which the Simple Life star would "scour the country for the next Nicole Richie ... the unscripted show would take seven girls from across the U.S. and test their ability to achieve insta-fame."

Whoever wins gets her own reality show! It's a self-perpetuating nightmare executive producer credit for Nicole!
