Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer seem to be doing pretty well on their second go. Aniston’s got some fire in her lately which has been nice to see, and John Mayer, while often seen as a doucheY player, certainly has his own kind of self-effacing humor which is charming in its way. Even though I don’t trust Mayer because of his track record, I find myself liking him despite my best attempts not to. He can be a paparazzi whore but he’s still funny, and few celebs have mastered the self-deprecating humor like he has.

Aniston and Mayer went out on a date last night and ran into Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. The couples gabbed for a bit before parting ways – according to People, Jen and John were totally into each other.

Sunset Tower Hotel was the place for star gazing Monday night, when Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer dropped by for a late-night meal. “They were positively glowing in the candlelight,” an onlooker said of the couple, who took a corner table in the dimly lit Hollywood landmark, where the couple is frequently spotted. “You could see her classic ‘Aniston smile’ on her face.”

The on-again couple – just back from their jaunt to New York City – talked closely in low tones. But they did take time to chat with another celebrity couple, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, who were dining nearby. “There was a lot of excited talk between the two girls,” the onlooker noted, “with Nicole’s head bobbing up and down as she talked to Jen.” (When Richie star-exited the restaurant a short time later, she gave an “exaggerated, very happy wave” to her new Friend.)

But for most of the night, Aniston, 39, and Mayer, 31, only had eyes for each other. “They were very happy and goofy,” the source added. “They seemed to revel in their privacy.”

John and Jen are really growing on me. I still don’t think John’s going to settle down until he’s in his late seventies, but that’s not necessarily the only measure of his worth. It just depends on what Aniston is looking for from him. Since the day she and Brad Pitt divorced, people have assumed that Jen’s done nothing but try to find someone else to marry. The thought that she might be happy dating and remaining unattached in the long run seems unfathomable to most. But perhaps that’s exactly what she wants.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are still going strong, even after 8 whole months. Paris continues to dress like I can only presume is her idea of what a rock star’s girlfriend should dress like (she’s probably watched every episode of Rock of Love) and despite the fact that’s she’s been wandering around London, they’re still in love. Nauseatingly so.

Benji Madden would like to set the record straight about those tabloid reports that he has been unfaithful to new love Paris Hilton. “Paris is the love of my life,” he tells Life & Style. “She’s the most beautiful woman in the world. These rumors are not only hurtful but completely false and absurd. She is my life and the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Everything they printed is a complete lie. I never give off any impression other than that I am madly in love with Paris. I am disgusted that people would make up such malicious lies. She is my life, my heart and my soul and is the most important thing in my life. No one exists but her. I am the most loyal guy in the world and would never even look at anyone else.”

And Paris? “Benji and I have an amazing relationship and I trust him with my life,” she tells Life & Style. “I don’t ever believe rumors regarding my love. I know he would never hurt me and he knows the same about me.”

Life & Style

I actually believe in true love and people changing and rainbows and butterflies, but I just can’t buy the idea that these are deeply in love. I also think it is a big deal for Benji to say he wants to spend the rest of his life with Paris, and it’s a statement that could come back to haunt him.

My theory is that Paris has used her alien powers to take over Benji Madden, and through her mind control tactics has convinced him he’s in love. She probably inserted some kind of device in his body to make him follow her around like a real boyfriend.

Paris has just released a music clip, although I’m confused as to whether it’s a new single or just something to continue to promote the Paris Hilton brand. It’s called ‘Paris for President’, and she offers to be your commander in bikini. Frankly, I’d be more impressed to see her in a suit, the bikini’s been done.

I always think of Paris Hilton as the trustworthy sort. The kind of girl you never have to worry about. The friend that you wouldn’t think twice about leaving your hot drunk, groping boyfriend with. Because Paris is just that upstanding sort of girl that you really don’t need to worry about.

Which must be the case with her and boyfriend of 8 whole months Benji Madden. The pair have been separated for what seems like ages while Paris gallivants around London shooting her “Pretend You Don’t Hate Paris Hilton” show. And while she’s supposedly been flirting it up with every British lad in town (princes not excluded) Paris claims that she and Benji are still very much together and very much in love.

Paris Hilton is not cheating on her boyfriend Benji Madden, as rumors suggested the heiress had been flirting with Princes William and Harry.

During her stay in the UK, where the socialite is filming her new TV series ‘My New BFF’, Hilton was quoted as saying “I have met a really cute English guy, but it’s early days.”

However, Paris has now put the record straight on her meeting with the princes, as she told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show: “They’re very nice boys, very down to earth and sweet but there’s nothing romantic going on at all. They just came up and said hello.”

“There’s no texting going on; I’m reading that I invited them to Las Vegas to a club – that never happened.”

“I have a boyfriend, it’s an eight month anniversary today. I would never say that in a million years and it just annoys me that particularly the media out in the UK, they will not only make up stories, they’ll also go as far to make up quotes that I supposedly said.”

“I’m taken, I don’t put it out that I’m single. Before, I wasn’t in love… I would never hurt him [Benji Madden].”

[From Angry Ape]

That’s funny, because I can’t think of anyone who’s been accused more often of trying to steal other people’s boyfriends than Paris Hilton. So it’s hard to imagine that she give a shit about her own. Paris has been uber “we’re getting married and having a million babies” with Benji since they started dating. Why he didn’t run for the hills in the first place is beyond me. I don’t care how long they’ve been together, there’s no way you can convince me that he loves or even likes her. Everyone’s just assuming Paris is cheating on him because it’s Paris; she’s not someone known for her high moral integrity. I don’t think anyone really thought they broke up, just that she’s skanking around. Which she probably is.

Sophie Monk is out promoting a range of underwear, which obviously isn’t moving off Wal-Mart shelves as quickly as she’d like, so to drum up some free publicity, she thought she’d talk about Paris Hilton. It worked.

In case you aren’t entirely sure who Sophie Monk is, she a former Australian pop star who moved to Hollywood, and used to be engaged to Benji Madden. A short time after they split he was on with Paris Hilton.

I don’t think Benji dumped Sophie for Paris, though. He dumped her because she was bad in bed.

Speaking on breakfast radio this morning, Monk said she didn’t consider herself to be sexy before revealing what she thought of herself in the bedroom.

“I’m not a very sexy person, I’m very awkward,” the former Popstars babe told the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show on 2DayFm.

“I’m probably bad in bed actually. I think I am a dud honestly. No one’s going to tell you you’re bad in bed.

“Why am I saying all this? You aren’t even asking the questions, I’m just bagging myself.”

Sydney Morning Herald

Isn’t there an old adage about beautiful women not being good in bed because they think that it is enough to just turn up and look good?

Sophie then went on to suggest that Paris hates her, maybe sort of, and that she’s possibly jealous of her.

When asked how she felt about reports that Hilton disliked her the former Popstars babe said: “I don’t know why she hates me, if she does, but I don’t hate her.”

“I hear it from the press, I don’t know where it’s coming from, but that’s cool she can hate me if she wants.”

Monk broke off her engagement with Good Charlotte guitarist Madden at the beginning of the year.

He was spotted with party girl Hilton just weeks later.

When asked if she thought Hilton was jealous of her, she said: “I guess you would be, would you? I don’t know,” before laughing awkwardly.

Sydney Morning Herald

Paris probably barely gives three seconds thought to Sophie Monk, since she’s got the guy. At best she probably rolls her wonky eyes and thinks “that little southern convict is talking about me again, time to create another myspace blog about how happy I am with her ex-fiancé.”

Sophie has a new reality show coming out, following her attempts to break into Hollywood (not into people’s homes, but into the industry) allegedly titled Bigger Than Paris.

Paris Hilton is so empty and useless and transparent that she’s really getting to the point where she’s starting to put her safety at risk. Why? Because I find her so annoying that my blood boils over when she dares to even speak. Nothing worthwhile or even new ever comes out of her mouth. It’s just the same old empty crap. All she’s been able to talk about since kinda/sorta/not really best friend Nicole Richie got pregnant is how much she wants to have babies; what a great mom she’s going to be; how much she loves kids, etc.

Oh, and how it’s all just around the corner for her.

However she’s still dating Benji Madden and their relationship doesn’t seem to be moving forward at all. They got pretty serious pretty quickly, and it’s like they moved to level six on the dating scale and just stopped. Paris is still doing absolutely nothing but partying way too often and drinking way too much. Yet she seems to think as long as she keeps telling People and Us about how much she wants kids, she’ll magically get them and be a great mother overnight.

Even while sipping Grey Goose out at a club, Paris Hilton has babies on the brain.

“I definitely want three or four [children],” she told PEOPLE in Las Vegas Saturday night, while partying at Pure Nightclub for her sister’s birthday.

As for a timeline? “Soon,” she said. “Maybe a year or two.”

In the meantime, she’s just enjoying domestic life with beau Benji Madden. “We just had our 7 month anniversary,” she gushed. “We are just so happy.”

[From People]

Seven months? That’s practically fifty years. I’m sure Benji loves that Paris has practically settled down and popped out four kids without his ever saying or doing a whole lot to indicate he was interested in her as anything more than an extended booty call. It’s probably time for Paris to shut her mouth and either make good on this kid threat or find something else to talk about.

For the first time ever, Paris Hilton has worked all summer. Poor grasshopper. She posted this missive on her official blog.

Hey everyone,

Hope you’re all having a wonderful summer. This is actually the first summer where I didn’t just lounge around in St. Tropez or a private beach somewhere–I didn’t take a vacation this summer because it’s been non- stop work.

I’ve been shooting the show, editing it, traveling to Europe to promote my handbag line and fragrance, designing my fall collection for my shoes and clothing line, and working in my studio on a new album. So professionally its been a very successful and productive summer. My favorite part of the summer has been the time I’ve gotten to spend on tour with my love Benj We always have the best time together and he’s played some shows in some pretty rad places: Orlando for example, so we got to go to Disney World, which is always a blast! He’s such an amazing boyfriend and so talented too…I love watching him perform on stage, so hot! Loves it!

myspace: read the whole entry here.

Paris goes on to talk about her show, searching for an American BFF. Turns out, she’s going to be doing the same show in Britain. I guess you don’t win Paris’ love forever, only until the camera stops rolling.

She also compares the filming experience, with real people, to playing with dolls. She calls it a ‘real live dollhouse’. It’s good to see Paris really values these people and what they can bring to her life, and she isn’t just using them for ratings.

I wonder if I am alone in wondering if some assistant to Paris writes these blogs, and tries to make sound vapid, or if she really has no clue how she sounds. I’ve read interviews with Paris where the reporter claims her dumb blonde persona is just an act, but I’m not sure about that. If it is putting on an act then she should be nominated for an Oscar, I’m so convinced she’s stupid.

Sophie Monk, the Australian reality actress/pop singer/woman in a bikini that used to go out with Benji Madden has a new title to add to her resume: Playboy nude model.

Formerly attached to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, Monk was approached by Playboy but the rocker didn’t like the idea of his girlfriend getting her gear off.

But now, with Madden dating Monk’s arch-rival Paris Hilton, the Aussie starlet is free to do as she pleases.

If she does go ahead with the deal, she will pick up a whopping $1 Million US.

Although nothing is confirmed at this stage, Sophie’s publicist Jenni Weinman wasn’t quick to deny a possible shoot.

“Playboy has always done classy portfolios, so I’m sure if this was real, it’s something that would be considered,” Weinman told News Limited

“I haven’t heard that she’s doing it and I haven’t heard that she isn’t.”

I wonder if Benji Madden’s mom is looking at her boy and just wishing he would take up with a woman famous for something besides nudity. Paris Hilton basically gained her notoriety from her sex tape, Sophie Monk is possibly most famous for appearing nude for PETA. Why can’t he just find some nice groupie instead of wonky faced girls who can’t keep their clothes on?

Sophie admitted to Australian radio that she can’t read about her former fiancé and his new girlfriend, saying “It’s just too real now, it’s not a joke.”

Sophie might be starring in a sitcom in the US, which is part reality/part comedy, that follows her trying to make a career in Hollywood. Do you think the writer’s strike had lasting repercussions for television? Due to the shortened seasons of major shows we’re getting filler programs in New Zealand, my favorite one being a show where they take obese animals and chart their weight loss, a biggest loser for cats. Hopefully we don’t have an actors strike, or we’ll get pets auditioning for Animal Idol.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are still together, and they’re still nauseating. The cutesy joke of a couple stepped out yesterday to do some well-documented shopping at Benji’s clothing store, DCMA Collective, on Robertson Boulevard. I was hoping these two had quietly split, since Paris was seen out by herself two weeks ago and reportedly got rejected by soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.

Paris gushed at ComicCon over the weekend that she is “so in love and so happy right now and it’s only been like six months.” She also said that she feels “like a grown-up now” due to her relationship with Benji. She looks like a little kid, though, and how whipped does widdle Benji look? You would hope his brother and his friends would talk some sense into him and tell him no woman is worth the humiliation, particularly Paris.

Paris Hilton says she’s finally all grown up. Even though she’s been starring in sex tapes and baring her breasts for years (something most of us consider pretty “grown up” – though certainly not mature), Paris says she only recently started feeling like an adult. And you can guess why – because of a guy. Boyfriend of six months Benji Madden, no less. Apparently they’re super-mature relationship has rendered Paris a real and true adult. As far as she’s concerned.

Paris Hilton may have been surrounded by adults dressed as superheroes and Star Wars characters at San Deigo’s Comic-Con International, but the heiress-turned-actress says “I just feel like a grown-up now,” thanks to her current romance with musician Benji Madden and their more low-key lifestyle.

“I think my whole life I was kind of living as a teenager and not really taking responsibility,” Hilton, who visited the Con to support her new film – and well-received performance in – Repo! The Genetic Opera, told PEOPLE. “Now I realize that I’m an adult and I’m running a huge company and I’m in love. I’m in a great relationship. I have my family. I’m just excited for life.”

When the notion of tying the knot with Madden (whose brother Joel is the paramour of Nicole Richie) was broached, Hilton was cautiously optimistic. “I don’t know,” she mused. “We’re so in love and so happy right now and it’s only been like six months. So we’ll see what happens, but we’re so in love and so happy and things have never been better. I finally have a nice guy.”

[From People]

For a minute I was almost impressed, thinking Paris Hilton had learned to stop yapping to everyone about how much she wanted to get married and have babies right away. But then she started talking about Benji’s niece Harlow Madden, and how cute she is and how much she loves babies. I’m pretty sure the People reporter was just nice enough to cut her off before she started clutching her ovaries and talking about her infamous baby deadline.

Either she’s getting a tad better at interviewing, or she really has matured a hair. Because Paris doesn’t sound quite as asinine as usual. And maybe for some of us being a real grownup just means being less dumb than you used to be.

The Daily Mail has an exclusive story that Paris Hilton was rebuffed by soccer player Ronaldo at Vila nightclub last night. It’s possible all they know is that both Paris and this guy Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Manchester United, were at the same club at the same time. But if this has a shred of truth to it then Paris and Benji Madden have probably hit a rough patch at the very least:

The Manchester United striker – currently in LA on an undisclosed business trip – arrived at trendy hotspot Villa in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

A source said: ‘Paris was all over him. The moment he arrived, she went over to his private table.
‘At one point, she pushed her chest together and made a point of trying to snuggle up against him.

‘But Ronaldo clearly wasn’t interested in Paris. He turned his back on her.’

According to reports, the 23-year-old Portugese star is a single man after splitting from model Nereida Gallardo, 25.

And heiress Paris, clad in a peach-coloured dress, was clearly impressed by his charms.

The onlooker added: ‘Every girl in the club was checking him out but Paris couldn’t take her eyes off him.

‘You could tell he enjoyed the attention but he didn’t really want anything to do with any of the girls.

[From The Daily Mail]

Maybe Paris just wanted to talk to this guy because he looked important, but I bet she did make a play for him. If that was the case what happened with Benji? They were last spotted out together on Sunday and both of them have been outspoken about their love for each other. Benji even called Paris “wife material” in an interview.

JayBird reported on Sunday that Paris has been staying at Benji’s house, which is right next door to Nicole Richie and Benji’s brother Joel’s house. Paris has been calling the paparazzi to alert them to her whereabouts which is said to royally piss off Nicole, who values her privacy at home. Maybe Nicole had a little talk with Joel and then Joel told Benji that Paris isn’t the best choice for a mate. You would live the rest of your life in the fishbowl that Paris so carefully decorates and cleans daily. Even foreign soccer players know enough to stay out of her airless orbit.
