Benji Madden is getting a tattoo for Paris


Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are going to commit the ultimate relationship crime. He’s getting a tattoo of her image, and they’re telling people about it. If you’re going to get a tattoo as a reminder of your four month long relationship the least you could do is keep quiet about it to avoid future embarrassment.

The socialite, reality TV personality, and sex-tape star reveals that Good Charlotte rocker Madden is planning to have an image of her etched on his heavily-tattooed torso.

But Hilton isn’t allowed to return the compliment.

She explains, “He is going to get one of me but he won’t let me get one. He doesn’t like tattoos on women. He thinks I look pure.”

Contact Music

Benji likes that Paris looks ‘pure’. I hear there’s a video circulating around where she looks very, very pure while she performs oral sex on another man. Just in case you wanted to see Paris at her most pure.

In case you thought that Paris and Benji couldn’t get anymore annoying, it turns out they want to make beautiful music together. Unfortunately that isn’t a euphemism. Benji is helping Paris record a theme song for her new reality series, My New BFF.

“Benji and I have been working hard on it,” she said. “He’s helping me write the lyrics for the song and then I’ll sing it, too.”

The couple, who’ve been dating for four months, are laying down the track at a studio located, conveniently enough, in her Beverly Hills mansion.

Premiering later this year, My New BFF will follow the former Simple Life star as she chooses a new shopping buddy from 20 contestants.

Hilton also plans to start working on the follow-up to her 2006 debut CD Paris. “I’ll have another album come out, for sure,” she told E! News. “I just don’t know when yet. I only have the summer off, then I’ll be taping another season of BFF. But an album is something I’ll do.”

People

I can’t believe that Paris thinks her singing career is going to be so successful that it justifies building a studio in her home. Why not just keep the room to store unsold stocks of her hair extension line?

Picture note by Celebitchy: Benji recently shaved his head, probably after some pictures that came out of him without his hat sunning on a deck with Paris. He had a big bald spot that he was hiding under hats, so he decided to shave it off. Good move, Benji!

Benji Madden and Paris Hilton are shown on 6/27/08 at “‘The Good Life’ photographs by Murray Garrett, held at the Photographers gallery” in LA. Paris, Nicky and winners of a competition from Paris’ reality show are shown shopping on Robertson Boulevard on 6/28/08, thanks to WENN.

Benji Madden gushes about Paris as much as she does about him


When Paris Hilton scrawled over her myspace page how much she loved Benji Madden and gushed about him in interviews, I thought that she was a nightmare girlfriend and that it would soon be over. As time has gone on - the pair have been together for four months - and they didn’t break up, I realized that Benji must really, really like Paris. Or he would have kicked her to the curb weeks ago.

Yesterday he did an interview with Ryan Seacrest, and talked about how happy he is with her.

“I’m so beyond happy,” Benji, 29, said of his hot relationship with Paris Hilton. “Of course,” he added, “when you’re that happy, you think about everything.”

When asked if he worries about having kids, Benji replied: “Not at all. I mean, she’s my best friend” – prompting Joel to interject sarcastically, “I can see it tomorrow, ‘Benji’s Ready for Fatherhood.’ ”

Continued Benji: “I’ve never been so happy. Nothing worries me in life anymore. When you find that best friend, that love, all your worries kind of go away. Your work gets better and everything you do, you have someone supporting you, and she’s that for me. I’ve never been supported so much.”

In his repeated refrain, Benji said, “I’m a lucky guy. Her family is so nice to me. And now the four of us, we all … it’s great, you know.”

Could that possibly mean a double wedding? Responded both bothers, in unison: “No.”

People

I don’t know who had the idea for the double wedding. I think twins get very tired of doing everything together, and Joel and Benji work together already. For most women a wedding day is the only day you get to wear an ludicrously expensive frock that you will only wear once, that trails on the floor. You get to be the center of attention all day, eat cake after dieting to fit into said dress, and go home with a heap of presents and the love of your life. Why would you want to share the spotlight with another bride, even if they are your best friend?

I know not all brides go down the route of wearing an enormous, expensive white dress, but Paris is obviously that kind of girl. And we’re likely to be subjected to every detail of her wedding and subsequent divorce from Benji.

Note by Celebitchy: This is the second time Benji has called into the Ryan Seacrest show and publicly proclaimed his love for Paris. He first discussed their relationship in early May, calling her “wife material” and saying he wanted to get on a rooftop and yell “I’m in love!”

Paris Hilton wears pregnancy-faking dress to spark rumors to deny


When I saw these photos of Paris Hilton out last night, I initially kind of panicked and thought she might actually be knocked up. That would have meant months of tabloid coverage, interviews about how she felt as the world’s first pregnant woman, because you know she would have acted like she was, and a resulting seven figure magazine deal featuring the newborn as soon as it was able to sit for a photo session in baby couture. Then I looked over photos of her taken this past month, and although she does wear some loose clothing because that’s the style she favors she was also seen with a completely flat stomach less than a month ago.

Paris denied she was pregnant today through her rep. But I barely heard anyone guess that she was except for our friends at D-Listed, so it seems likely that she wore that dress just so people would talk about her.

Whenever she does have a baby, which seems inevitable given how she collects pets, let’s hope she has the foresight to hire good help who will take the responsibility for the infant that she will probably treat like an accessory. Paris just doesn’t have the patience or the mental capacity to care for a child for an extended period of time.

Thanks to WENN for these photos.

Benji and Joel Madden reunite with their father


Benji and Joel Madden haven’t spoken to their father for more than ten years, after the (now recovering) alcoholic walked out on the family. Father Roger Combs (the boys changed their name to Madden after their mother’s maiden name) says that while he had some contact with them over the last three years, it is baby Harlow that has created a common bond. he talks to In Touch magazine about their reunion.

“My kids were mad at me, and I don’t blame them,” says Roger, who also has a daughter, Sarah, 27, and a son, Josh, 30, with Benji and Joel’s mom. Though Joel did start mending fences with Roger three years ago, it was Harlow who really reunited them. “We are good today, and that’s all that matters,” Roger says.

[From In Touch]

Roger Combs doesn’t say whether he has a relationship with his older children. He does add that holding his granddaughter was very special.

“It was a wonderful moment,” Roger exclusively tells In Touch. “She’s such a beautiful girl. I felt very proud.”

In Touch also reports that Nicole reassessed her relationship with her parents, saying that she ‘put them through a lot.’ Nicole has been to jail, and also rehab, as well as being best friends with Paris Hilton, which would make any parent nervous.

I’m not sure if Roger Combs sold his story to In Touch magazine, or if the Madden twins sold it, or if Roger was just sought out for comment. He might not understand the tabloid scrutiny the Madden brothers are under, and was just being a proud grandparent. He doesn’t talk at all about Paris Hilton, or Nicole Richie, who are most likely to result in inflammatory headlines. Hopefully his comments appearing in the press won’t create a misunderstanding like Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie’s relationship.

Joel and Benji Madden are shown at “Hornitos Tequila celebrates the ultimate ‘Cinco de Mayo’ experience at Crown Bar” on 5/5/08, thanks to WENN.

Paris Hilton sets a baby deadline


I always thought that the Charlotte character in ‘Sex and the City’ was a little unreal – I don’t personally know any woman that dives into relationships like a kamikaze pilot looking for marriage and babies right now.

Then Paris Hilton appeared on my radar. She’s got to be the girl bachelors have nightmares about. She’s been gushing all over the media about how much she loves her boyfriend Benji Madden (of 2 ½ months) and how they’re going to get married. Now, she’s talking babies with her man, and she’s given him a deadline.

The hotel heiress has been dating the Good Charlotte rocker for three months, but already has marriage and babies on her mind.

And although she insists she is not currently pregnant, Hilton admits she hopes to be with child in 12 months’ time.

She tells Britain’s Heat magazine, “I do want a baby. Pretty soon. Not yet because I’m so busy, but next year.”

San Francisco Chronicle

This isn’t the first time that Paris has talked about wanting a baby, although I’m still a little unsure of whether she knows what having a baby entails. I’m not just talking about the actual childbirth part, which is disturbing enough in itself, but does she know they grow up? They don’t actually stay all little and cute, they turn into toddlers who have tantrums (if you have one that doesn’t I’ll trade you mine), then into children who pick their nose. And spend a lot of time with their hands down their pants. Then they turn into teenagers and continue doing all of these things, as well as hating you.

Paris, at 27, seems a little young to feel that biological clock ticking. I’m also not sure she’s ready for a baby. It was in 2004 that she lost her little dog Tinkerbell and plastered the world with ‘Lost Dog’ signs, only to discover she’d left the pooch at her grandparent’s place.

How will she care for the 18 dogs she has along with a baby?

Paris Hilton says Benji Madden wants to marry her & they talk about it


From my vast knowledge of Paris Hilton’s psyche gleaned from reading her Hello Kitty journals and love letters found in her storage unit, I would say she has the emotional maturity of a high school freshman. She may have matured slightly since then, but if you listen to the simplistic hackneyed way she describes her latest relationship, it’s doubtful.

In a love book Paris filled out for Tommy Hillfiger model Jason Shaw, whom she dated from mid 2002 to 2003, and was engaged to briefly, she signed off “I love you forever & every & ever. Love always, your future wife and partner for life. Paris.”

Paris was 21 at the time, so while she was young it’s not like she was a teenager. A lot of young people say “forever” in relationships when they’re both gung ho, but it seems especially stupid to talk to the press about your marriage plans when you’re famous and have been dating for a short time. It’s not as stupid as actually getting married after a few weeks, though, so at least Paris is still slightly ahead of Mariah.

Paris, now 27, says that her boyfriend of not even three months, Benji Madden, wants to get married and that they talk about it. She even has her wedding dress planned:

“He wants to [get hitched],” she told PEOPLE Thursday night at London’s Nobu, where she showed up for a late-night snack with Madden and her parents. “We talk about it.”

In fact, she’s already pondering her gown: “I’d wear a beautiful white dress,” she said dreamily, “probably Dolce & Gabbana.”

The heiress, who is in town promoting her new fragrance, Can Can, couldn’t stop gushing about her new beau.

“We are the perfect match,” said the 27-year-old (who begins filming her MTV reality show, I Wanna Be Paris’s New Best Friend! on Monday). “We don’t like being apart, we like to stay with each other as much as we can.”

[From People.com]

Nicole Richie and her baby’s father Joel Madden have been together over a year and a half and have a baby together. They’re engaged but aren’t in any hurry to get married. Paris and Joel’s twin Benji seem like they’re in a rush to the altar though. At least they’re not trying to keep up with Nicole and Joel in the baby department - as far as we know.

While Victoria Beckham was promoting her overpriced jeans at Harrods in London yesterday Paris Hilton had staged a photo op at the same time for her fragrance, Can Can. Victoria won the battle of the spokeswhores and most of the photographers flocked to her instead of Paris.

Paris and Benji are shown in London earlier today and yesterday thanks to WENN.

Benji Madden calls Paris Hilton “wife material,” may have cheated on Sophie


Earlier this week Paris Hilton gushed that her boyfriend of not even three month, Benji Madden, had written a song for her called “Shine Your Light.” We had to take her word for it, though, because it’s not like Benji has said much about her despite the fact that he took her on tour with him and she’s been seen following him around like a puppy dog all over LA. Paris has talked about how much in love she is and how great Benji is, and now he’s finally revealed that it’s mutual.

In an interview on Yo on E! on Sirius Radio, Benji said that he always knew Paris was “wife material” before they hooked up. He also said that they “were in love before anyone even knew we were together,” which suggests he might have been cheating on his longterm girlfriend, model Sophie Monk, with Paris. Sophie and Benji officially announced their split in mid February, and Paris and Benji went public less than two weeks later. As for marrying fickle Paris, Benji says “nothing would make me happier”

“We were in love before anyone even knew we were together,” the Good Charlotte band member reveals to Yo on E! on Sirius Radio. “We have known each other for a long time, and I’ve always known the real Paris. I always knew that she was like…wife material or serious girlfriend material. You’re getting a lot of personal sh**t out of me, man!”

Benji continues, “You just want to get on top of a mountain and go, I’m in love! But your fans would probably make fun of you.”

So could there be wedding bells in the near future? “Nothing would make me happier,” Madden says. “Wow, alright. Ok. I’m not gonna bet against you on that. We’ll see. I’m very, very happy right now.”

[From OK! Magazine]

Let’s give Paris and Benji the benefit of the doubt and say that they were together for maybe two months before they decided to hit all the LA hotspots together, but it’s doubtful and if that’s the case Benji would have been cheating. Even if they’ve been dating for five months that’s not enough time to start talking marriage. Once the new relationship endorphin high goes down they’ll start bugging the shit out of each other and will split shortly afterwards. I guess if they’re happy that’s all that matters. If Benji is talking like this he’s probably going to propose soon. He also spoke at length in that interview about how he loves babysitting his niece Harlow, so maybe he’s looking to start a family like his twin brother. You have to think that he could have been a much better candidate than Paris.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden still together


While Paris Hilton and her mother seem to be gushing over her new found ‘best friend’ Benji Madden, he’s been fairly quiet about the whole affair. Until now. It seems that this whole relationship isn’t just in Paris’ head, but that Benji is equally smitten with her. Or so she says.

The couple, who have been dating for little more than 2 months, has recorded the song ‘Shine Your Light’, which Paris claims was written about her.

In an interview with US site People.com, Paris said: “He actually wrote me a beautiful song, and actually recorded it in the studio. He surprised me with it… it’s this really beautiful love song about me. It was the sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me!”

Take40

You know, there’s nothing my husband hates more than when I blab about him to my friends, even if it’s highly complimentary. (As it always is, darling) Paris has previously talked about how much she is in love with her ‘best friend’, spilled to People the details of their two month anniversary celebration, told him she loved him on her myspace page, and her mother and father have also talked about how they love Benji, and how much Benji and Paris love each other.

There’s also speculation about the possibility of Paris and Benji getting married, after Joel jokingly referred to Paris as his sister-in-law, accompanied by equal amounts of speculation as to when they’ll get divorced.

How long before Benji gets tired of all this? After all, I suspect that dating Paris Hilton does nothing for his rock star credibility. He had it right in his last relationship with Sophie Monk. Rock stars should date supermodels.

Paris Hilton banned from exclusive hotel for signing name on the wall


Paris Hilton has been blacklisted from the Moscow Hyatt after she wrote “Paris Moscow 2008″ on the wallpaper as part of photo shoot she was doing in a suite there. The suite costs $16,000 a night and Paris was fined $9,000 for damages and will never be allowed back. Starpulse quotes a “hotel spokesperson” as saying “Miss Hilton ruined the wallpaper in the luxury suite. In such a case the client automatically goes on the black list.”

There’s a pretty exclusive Hilton in Moscow so it’s not like Paris won’t have somewhere to stumble back to after a night of heavy vodka consumption. You have to give props to the Hyatt people for saying she’s banned, but there’s also a kind of status in publicly stating that Paris Hilton is not welcome at your establishment. Alexander McQueen said that he didn’t want her at the opening of his new store in LA, but he didn’t exactly say he wouldn’t take her money if she shopped there.

Meanwhile Paris is still talking about her new boyfriend Benji Madden to anyone who will listen. She gave details of their two month anniversary celebration to People Magazine, and said she made dinner and they watched movies at home. As for their relationship she said “I think the way it works so well is that we’re best friends and we totally trust each other and we’re in love and we have an amazing time together.” I give it two more months before Benji is banning Paris from his establishment, too.

Paris and Benji had lunch at the Ivy yesterday and then went shopping. Thanks to WENN for these photos.

Nicole Richie pissed that Paris is touring with band while she’s home


Paris Hilton is on tour with her boyfriend Benji Madden’s band Good Charlotte, but the fiance of his twin brother and band mate is stuck home with their newborn baby. That may be her choice, but Star Magazine says it’s not and that Nicole Richie is super pissed that frenemy Paris gets to tag along while she’s left holding the baby:

Sources confirm to Star that Nicole was devastated when Joel informed her she would not be coming on the tour. She previously hit the road with the band, even while heavily pregnant, so she assumed this time was no different. She had even begun interviewing nannies to help her with daughter Harlow.

“Nicole begged Joel to let her tag along, but he refused to put the baby through that much traveling,” says a friend of hers. “He thinks a rock tour is no place for a newborn and has put his foot down.”

One insider says Nicole tried to make her case for coming by insisting she was nervous about being away from Joel, 29, for so long and that she was worried about caring for Harlow without his help.

But another source says Nicole, 26, is really just upset that Paris Hilton - who has been dating Joel’s twin brother, Benji, since February - is crashing the tour. And Nicole knows that wherever Paris, 27, goes, there’s usually trouble. “Nicole is livid!” says another source. “The thought of Paris on the road influencing Joel makes her skin crawl. Nicole doesn’t trust Paris as far as she can throw her.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, April 7, 2008]

You can see this being the case even if Star Magazine’s sources all happen to be staffers. It’s got to be hard to be apart from your partner right after you have a baby, and going on tour with a nanny seems preferable to staying home. It’s possible that Benji and Joel didn’t really talk about the fact that Paris was tagging along and that Joel decided that Nicole should stay home before he realized that Paris would be stealing his band’s thunder.

When my husband and I were watching “Wetten, Das?” with Paris on Saturday, he asked “isn’t it bad publicity for Good Charlotte to be associated with Paris Hilton? Like doesn’t that demean their integrity as a band?” It kind of does. They may not be sleeping with tons of groupies but we know at least one of them thinks with his dick.

Paris Hilton is shown clutching her chin after she took a fall earlier in the day on the cobblestones in Prague. The story is that “they were mobbed by fans and photographers, calling Paris to fall to the ground.” Thanks to WENN for these photos.
