Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie at the box office

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are set to do battle at the box office in November when they both star in films which will be released on the same day.
Movie-maker Andrew Shaifer, who produced and wrote Richie's debut film Kids In America, has accused the team behind Hilton's Pledge This! of purposefully synchronizing the release date clash to generate publicity.
The reality TV co-stars mysteriously fell out in January, and have refused to divulge the reason behind their rift, with Hilton saying, All I will say is that Nicole knows what she did and that's all I am ever going to say about it.

It was just announced that Paris' movie will open the same day. It is obvious something is going on. My feeling is this was done on purpose.
- said Shaifer, who arranged his film release date in April -

Andrew must be mistaken. There is no official release date yet.
