Nicole Richie and Joel Madden at the First Annual Noble Awards in Beverly Hills (10/18)

This story pretty much settles it: monkeys are running the television industry. And not just regular monkeys who throw their own shit. Retarded monkeys who eat their own shit. From Star:

[Nicole Richie] is in talks to star with her husband, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, in a new reality series. According to a friend, the concept is an at-home talk show where Nicole’s famous friends pop in to be interviewed by the couple.

“Nicole turns down a lot of roles because she doesn’t want to leave her children, Harlow and Sparrow,” the friend explains. “This would be an option because she could work from home.”

The only way people would ever watch this show is if Nicole reenacted the cow scene from The Simple Life with Joel -- by sticking her fist elbow deep up his ass. In all seriousness though, if people really want to watch some homeless-looking guy who's covered with tattoos babble incoherently with his anorexic partner, they don't have to wait for a TV show to come out. They can go to an HIV clinic.

UPDATE: The worst idea for a show ever just got even more worsterer
