Hilton to star with Richie on Broadway?

Broadway producers reportedly want Paris Hilton to star alongside Nicole Richie in an upcoming production of Chicago.

It was claimed last week that Richie is in talks to play murderess Roxie Hart in the stage show.

According to OK!, producers are now keen for Hilton to join the cast in a bid to swell ticket sales.

The friends starred together in five series of hit reality show The Simple Life until last August.

A source said: "The producers think they will sell double the amount of tickets."

Hilton is to make a guest appearance in the new series of US comedy My Name Is Earl.
