? ?The Simple Life? was really about taking us and putting us in a different situation for about 30 days, so it really had nothing to do with my family and my personal life,? Richie, who has two kids (daughter Harlow, age 3, and son Sparrow, who turns 2 on Sept. 9) with husband Joel Madden, said when asked about the possibility of doing a reality series about her life.

?Could you do the personal life, docu-style, [with] cameras in the house with Joel and the kids?? Bush asked.

?I am definitely a private person when it comes to my family, so I would say no,? the 29-year-old said.

Despite her desire to keep her family away from the cameras, Richie herself will return to reality TV in 2012 on NBC?s ?Fashion Star? with Jessica Simpson, designer John Varvatos and Elle Macpherson.

?It?s so much fun, I get to work with great people,? she said of the series that recently wrapped its first season.
