| PARIS AND NICOLE START MOTORBIKE GANG
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have moved on to a new venture following their reality TV success -- as the founding members of a motorbike gang.
The sexy duo, who scored a hit with their reality show "The Simple Life," are now the new faces of customized bike makers Beverly Hills Choppers -- and they're looking for more girls to join them in their offshoot gang, the Beverly Hills Angels.
Beverly Hills Choppers was founded last year, after Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly got herself into a red carpet mishap on one of the company's creations.
At the Maxim Hot 100 event in Hollywood, Stewart and Hilton were asked by company co-founder Johnny Fratto to ride down the red carpet on prototypes of the Old School Son of a Gun chopper.
And while their eye-catching ride past the press was supposed to generate publicity and create a buzz, Stewart sparked a slew of press headlines when she lost control of the bike after starting it up and fell to the ground.
Fratto was delighted with the coverage and gave Stewart a custom-built chopper with a tiger design, while Hilton received a leopard skin-inspired bike.
Hilton's pal Richie soon wanted in on the action, and received a copy of the Son of a Gun chopper, which Stewart popularized. They've since modeled for the new line of choppers, to be launched next month, and they're hoping they'll be joined by a few more of Tinseltown's finest as the Beverly Hills Angels.
Jessica Simpson is being eyed as a new gangmember, after expressing her desire to own a yellow and green Ripe Banana model of the chopper, which she saw in the window of a Los Angeles boutique. Bosses of the company now hope to recruit such stars as Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra as models for the bikes. | |
