Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have gone shopping in a yellow school bus.

'The Simple Life' stars - who have both been charged with Driving Under the Influence in recent months - are acting as camp counsellors for the latest series of their show, but abandoned the kids and took the bus from Camp Shawnee to West Hollywood's Robertson Boulevard.

A source said: "The girls arrived at the Kitson boutique in the big yellow school bus driven by a really hunky driver.

"You would never normally see a school bus driver that hot!

"Paris and Nicole were filming for the show, but happily signed autographs for a group of fans between takes."

Paris, 26, recently pleaded no contest to a charge of reckless driving after she was stopped for speeding and found to be over the legal blood alcohol level. She claimed she only had one margarita.

The hotel heiress was stopped by police last month for driving without her lights on and now faces further charges as her licence had been suspended because of the reckless driving conviction.

Nicole, 25, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of Driving Under the Influence after she was caught driving on the wrong side of a California highway and told police she had smoked marijuana. Her court hearing is pending.
