There’s no better time for a reconciliation than several weeks shy of being forced by the networks to shoot the fourth season of your crappy reality show together. People magazine asserts that former BFF’s Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie have finally buried the hatchet, just in time to start filming “The Simple Life 4″ for E!. The paparazzi were conveniently tipped off to their dinner date on Sunday, and the twiglets were photographed happily dining together and then leaving Paris’ house together the next morning. People reveals:

“They looked like best friends to me,” [says a fellow diner]. “It seemed as if they had never gotten into a fight. They were laughing really loud and seemed more than happy to be together. There wasn’t a slow moment in their conversation – they chatted non-stop. They left hand-in-hand, smiling.”

…Hilton’s publicist, Elliot Mintz, tells PEOPLE: “They had a meal last night. It’s not my place to say what was discussed or the nature of the meal. But it’s a good thing when people have a meal together.” When asked if they’re best friends again, Mintz said: “I wouldn’t characterize it that way because I don’t know if it was a business or personal discussion. Let’s just watch it unfold.”

I swear to you, if I could have stumbled across another pair of celebrity boobies, I wouldn’t have even mentioned this. But it seems that Columbus Day was day of quiet reflection for Hollywood, because nothing else is going on. I figured I was about due for another Lohan puss shot or at least Jessica Biel working out, but I’m afraid the feeds are quiet. So here it is, folks: Nicole and Paris are friends again. You can stop the cutting now. Quit crying yourself to sleep, and finally enjoy the taste of food and the warmth of the October sunshine. Or you could just go back to injecting the smack. Whatever it is that you were doing this fine Tuesday morning.
