A few months ago Paris Hilton broke up with Benji “the love of her life” Madden because he was preventing her from partying as much as she wanted. Some people said Benji was a control freak, but Paris parties every single night. Asking her to stay home once in a while doesn’t seem that ridiculous to me. Anyway, though she claimed to have an eternal, deep, undying love for him, Paris chose a state of constant drunken debauchery over a nice guy. Which says a lot about her. But now there’s rumors she wants him back, after hearing that Benji had hooked up with singer Katy Perry.

Jealous Paris Hilton wants her ex-boyfriend Benji Madden back after seeing him hit it off with another sexy celeb. The hotel heiress – who split from the Good Charlotte rock star last November – has admitted she is still in love with Benji after seeing pictures of him spending Valentine’s Day with US singer Katy Perry.

A source said: “Paris still has very strong feelings for Benji and seeing those pictures has really hurt her – especially as they were taken so close to her birthday. She is determined to get Benji back and she is not going to let anyone or anything stand in her way.” Benji and Katy spent the romantic day together in Las Vegas, although the ‘Hot n Cold’ singer has since insisted they are just good friends.

She said “It’s two pseudo-famous people sitting next to each other – it doesn’t mean we were bumping uglies! You know I don’t just do that with anyone! I was there celebrating a really fun show and a boozy Valentine’s Day with all my good friends. We were like a group of 25! … Benji is a nice young fellow, but my heart really belongs to my cat.”

Shortly after Paris separated from Benji, the blonde socialite admitted she still had strong feelings for the musician. Paris (28) said “He’s my best friend. He’s been so great to me, so loyal, we will always be really close. I’m still in love with him. He’s a very special person – there’s no one like him.”

Katy obviously denied that anything was going on, but I’m not sure I believe that. It seems like celebs feel obligated to say that until they’re practically married.

Nonetheless, I hope there’s no chance in hell Benji considers getting back with Paris. He can do much, much better. If nothing else, it seems like their lifestyles weren’t really compatible. Sure he’s famous and goes out often enough, but it appears like he’s still somewhat levelheaded about it. Paris is sober for less than three hours of the day. It doesn’t matter the day of the week, where she is in the world, or what else is going on – she is at a club. Even sneaking into (and getting thrown out of) them on occasion. These two just have no chance in the long run.

And really, what sensible man would possibly want to end up with Paris long-term anyway? If I were a guy I’d pick Katy Perry over her any day.
