Paris Hilton & Benji Madden Dunzo
Say it ain’t so! Over the weekend, rumors began to swirl that Paris Hilton was spied canoodling with her ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos in Miami Beach, FL and now Star magazine is reporting that she and current boyfriend Benji Madden have called it quits. The mag is claiming that Paris gave Benji the heave-ho … according to Star, they’re dunzo, y’all:
It’s splitsville for Paris Hilton and Benji Madden. Days after Paris was “all over” her ex Stavros Niarchos, the heiress dropped the Good Charlotte rocker like a bad habit, telling him he was “too controlling” and that she needed her freedom back, a source tells Star exclusively. Shortly after their breakup, which took place on Nov. 17, Paris let her hair down at Villa nightclub, where she partied with her sister, Nicky, and Nicky’s boyfriend David Katzenberg. The following night she was also without Benji when she hit the hot spot Apple Paris. “Paris was fed up with Benji always telling her what to do and bossing her around,” says the insider. “She couldn’t take his overbearing ways anymore. It was stressing her out. He can be very aggressive and he was just too much trouble.” Benji didn’t take the breakup well, says the source. “He fought for a second chance and asked if they could talk it out but Paris said she was done talking,” reveals the insider. The demise of Paris and Benji’s relationship, after nine months of dating, didn’t happen overnight. “They’ve had “a lot of fights in the past,” says the source. The nail in the coffin was a showdown over Paris’ flirty night out with her ex-boyfriend Stavros on Saturday. “Benji didn’t like it that she spent the evening with Stavros,” says the source. “He blew up and Paris felt victimized. He gave her a lot of grief about that.” They bottom line is that they were just different people. “She felt she couldn’t cut loose and party,” says the source. “He doesn’t drink and doesn’t think she should either. She felt too fenced in.”
HMMM. It would make sense under normal circumstances that Paris would be ready to move on with a new boyfriend (considering that she doesn’t seem to stay attached to anyone person for long) but Benji is such a great guy, she would have to be utterly and completely INSANE to think she could do better. I’m not entirely convinced by this Star magazine report but, as I said, it’s entirely feasible that it could be true. What do y’all think … could Paris and Benji really be dunzo for good?
UPDATE: Life & Style is also reporting the dunzoness of Paris and Benji — tho their report denies that Paris hooked up with Stavros, quoting an “insider” who claims that the break-up reports are true:
It’s all over between Paris Hilton and boyfriend Benji Madden, Life & Style can officially report. “Sadly, it’s true,” Vanessa Fontana, a contestant on Paris’ BFF show, confirms exclusively to Life & Style. “Paris and Benji have split. I love Paris, and I just want her to be happy. I think that they’ll be better as friends.” Vanessa disputed rumors that the split had anything to do with Paris’ brief reunion with ex Stavros Niarchos this past weekend in Miami. “No, nobody else is involved,” she says. “Paris and Benji were loyal and faithful to each other. I was with Paris in Miami, and Stavros came over to our table, and the two of them talked for literally two minutes. It was a friendly conversation. They definitely did not hook up.” Sources say the breakup is due to the basic differences in the couple: Benji is a quiet homebody, while Paris is very social, both personally and professionally. And in recent weeks, the strain was beginning to show. “All of Paris’ friends have noticed that she hasn’t been happy lately,” says a friend. “Benji told Paris he didn’t like the BFFs from her show, and that he disapproves of her friends and doesn’t get along with her sister.” Their work schedules have not helped: Paris regularly travels the world, and is booked with back-to-back projects for the next 12 months, while Benji is currently in the recording studio working on a new Good Charlotte album with his twin, Joel. Paris is said to be devastated by the breakup. “She wishes it could be different,” says the friend. “Benji always treated her like his princess. He’s a really great guy with a big heart and she loves him very much. Maybe at some point in the future, the two of them could try again, but right now, they’re just too different as people.”
I’m still waiting for official confirmation but … it looks like they may really be dunzo for good.

I hope not!! Paris totally cleaned up her act after getting with Benji–I don’t think a “controlling” man would’ve been behind this new and improved Paris!

Does anyone else find it funny that Paris Hilton is going out with Nicole Richie’s boyfriend’s twin brother?
November 19th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
He is too good for her anyway!!
November 19th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I hope they are dunzo! I think Benji is just too good for her.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
She sucks and everything but who “really” knows what kind of guy he is. He could really be controlling and they may not get along. Nobody really knows what goes on behind closed doors.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Yes, please. Benj can do so much better.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
I don’t really care. I just wanted to be included.

one of my best friends hung out with the twins and said they were the most chill and down to earth guys ever. though she DID clean up her act, i have a feeling ‘controlling’ isn’t the problem. there could have been some basic relationship stuff we don’t know about and maybe she just couldn’t take medicine for it. who knows?
November 19th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
She is finally free to be with me. No one wants to be with anyone controlling!! I don’t blame her but he does sound like a good guy!
November 19th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
aww…im actually sad to hear that…they seemed good together.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
i hope they are dunzo… they just… don’t seem right together anyways
November 19th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Benji is way too good for her. If they really are over I hope he can find someone who really suits him.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
She is so disgusting and her face looks like an ostrich. I would hate to be her, even with her cash. Total embarrassment to her family which is why her relative is not leaving her or Nicky much dough. Still, at least Nicky has some class.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
They don’t seem right because she’s always in high heels and towering over him!
…nobody is too good for Princess Paris.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
The Only way I could see him if ever being controlling is based on simplicity ie:
Benji “Paris please if your going out put some underwear”
“Your dog just shitted on the floor, when does it ever go outside”
It’s just those easy things Paris’s mentality can’t over come, where she takes it as being to harsh.

who didnt see this coming?
November 19th, 2008 at 2:48 pm

i mean, i’ve been a GC fan for years now and when i heard Benji dated Paris Hilton i was like: WWWWWTTTTTFFFFFF =OOOO
but seriously, he was really happy with her, so i was really happy for him.
say it aint so… please dont be dunzo =[
November 19th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
hmm … i wonder of that’s a clue that Vanessa wins BFF??? No surprise there …
Anyways, I really hope they’re dunzo. The thought of them together was always odd.
November 19th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
It’s about freaking time. Benj can do better than that two-bit tramp.
November 19th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Hmm they’re booked to host a NYE party in Sydney together, wonder what will happen with that
November 19th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
not surprising. it’s tough to be in a relationship when you don’t have the same lifestyle. plain and simple.
November 19th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
the AP just confirmed it, so it must be so.
November 19th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Maybe he finally grew a brain.
November 19th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I don’t think drinking was the issue - she has said repeatedly she doesn’t drink alcohol.
November 19th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Whew- I was afraid she was going to have a baby to get attention away from Nicole Richie. So glad that didnt happen. I hope Paris fades away now.
November 19th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Good, Benji can do better.
She just made the band look bad anyways. We can breathe now.

He needs to get back with Sophie Monk.Paris can’t be in a relationship for more then a year.
