All That Glamour And Gossip

It’s official - Paris and Benji are finished. Shocked? Neither am I. 

As reported earlier this week, Paris Hilton was spotted partying with ex-bf Stavros Niarchos in Miami this weekend sans Benji Madden, her beau of 9 months. After her return to L.A., the couple hung out at separate clubs; Benji was seen with Nicole Richie, Paris’s supposed best friend and his twin brother’s girlfriend. Is somebody taking sides already?

On Wednesday, Paris’s rep told E! that “they’re still together… there is no breakup.”

Hours later, a contestant from Paris’s reality TV show My New BFF accidentally (or not) blabbed that the socialite and rocker did break up, but not because of Stavros or infidelity. 

Later, the same rep confirmed to the AP that they did split but will “remain very good friends.” Blah blah.

Reasons as to why the once surgically-attached duo are no longer vary, depending on who you believe. Some say that Benji was too controlling and others simply attribute the split to natural differences. Either way, Paris is more fun single!

As Paris Hilton partied in Miami Beach this weekend, did she find time to reconnect with an old flame?

Yes, according to these images, Paris was spotted hanging out with Greek heir Stavros Niarchos after the Victoria’s Secret fashion show Saturday night. 

“They slipped in secretly together holding hands very, very early in the morning,” an eyewitness blabs to OK! magazine. “They were cuddling and whispering together all night. Stavros was making Paris laugh — She couldn’t stop smiling when he was around and they were dancing together very closely.” 

Another source refutes the claim to E! News: ”They didn’t come together or leave together. They didn’t make out at all!”

Of course, none of this would be going down if boyfriend Benji Madden were around.

It was a busy, busy weekend for Hollywood’s A-listers, so here is recap of all the juicy gossip.

Paul Rudd hosted Saturday Night Live this week with an amazing performance from Beyonce. She also did a skit with a surprise appearance from her friend Justin Timberlake, who, let’s just say, kinda needs a tan (and stole the show).

How hilarious! Jennifer Aniston and Natalie Portman were on hand at the after party to celebrate with Paul and Justin.

TRL bid a bittersweet farewell to its 10-year run with a star-studded finale last night. Carson Daly played host to a bevy of performances from Beyonce, Kid Rock, Nelly, Snoop Dog, Backstreet Boys, 50 Cent, Fall Out Boy, among others. Plenty of big music names also stopped by reminisce of the show that, for many, launched their careers - Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, Good Charlotte, Eminem, Hilary Duff… wonder if she ran into Joel Madden? And it wouldn’t be TRL if there wasn’t a countdown involved. “…Baby One More Time” topped the Most Influential Videos, though Britney did not join the festivities. 

Meanwhile, Miami was hot, hot, hot this weekend as the Angels descended upon the city. Fontainbleau celebrated its reopening with Kate Hudson, Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey, Heidi Klum and Diddy. Gwyneth Paltrow mingled with Alex Rodriguez, who is reportedly dating Gwyn’s good pal Madonna. 

Saturday night the Angels hit the runway for the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show as Usher performed. Amanda Bynes, Michelle Trachtenberg, Kim Kardashian, Robert Buckley, John Stamos, and Terrence Howard were among the many celebs in the audience. The show will broadcast Dec. 3 on CBS.

Western civilization’s favorite prince charmings were spotted partying in London with two former Hollywood bad girls.

According to the London Mirror, Princes William and Harry were lounging around at hotspot Whiskey Mist with their cousins while Christina Aguilera and her hubby were also hanging out. 

Prince William decided to go chat with the couple and after their bodyguards okayed him (I’m rolling my eyes right about now), the 26-year-old prince and blonde pop star were “swapping numbers and flirting outrageously.” Oh please, Xtina’s closed body language clearly does not indicate flirtation!

Cue in Paris Hilton, who struts in sans Benji boy. She immediately sets her eyes upon the royalty and joined their VIP table uninvited. According to the reports, William and Harry were not happy with her appearance, even after the heiress started dancing provocatively. 

Well, except the shimmy worked its magic on Wills as they apparently swapped digits. British politeness or true love? Party hearty, kids!

The week isn’t over yet (one more day!), but here is the quote of the week y’all:

“If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody anymore, thank God; and evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don’t seem to have much of an issue.” - LAPD Chief William Bratton in regards to John Mayer’s proposal for regulation against the imposing paparazzi. 

Ahem, someone not liking the attention they’ve been getting since Jen Aniston…?

To be honest, I want to hate Ryan Phillippe, but I don’t. I don’t even dislike him. See, he finally made a public appearance with the woman that was rumored to have broken up his seven year marriage to America’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon. Ryan supported Stop-Loss costar Abbie Cornish as she was honored with an award at the Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards. The private couple held hands and leaned against each other throughout the entire night. Even though it was often reported that Ryan’s jealousy of Reese’s successful career led to problems in their marriage, he stepped aside and let Abbie enjoy the spotlight. 

In other news…

• Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo squash break-up rumors by sharing a romantic lunch together in Dallas (Just Jared).
• The Hills star Whitney Port is apparently being given a spin-off series by MTV in which she is bicoastal and befriending a group of NYC socialites. She denies the report but says she is open to the possibility.
• Rumors that High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale has contracted HIV from her rhinoplasty surgery last year was denied by her rep. Scary!
• Justin Timberlake has asked girlfriend Jessica Biel to move in with him, signaling that their relationship is quite serious (he didn’t live with Cameron or oh gosh, Britney). Love shack, baby.
• The blogs are rampantly discussing if Paris Hilton is preggers after a pic of her with a seemingly visible bump surfaced. I say it’s just her clingy satin dress though the heiress has expressed her wishes to be with child by next year. 

Is it just me or have we not heard that much about Paris Hilton recently?

Paris the Heiress has been jet-setting around the world with her current squeeze, Benji Madden, while he is on the Good Charlotte tour. Paris visited an orphanage in South Africa, tripped on a flight of stairs in Prague, and even stayed in a two-star hotel in England. Apparently Ms. Hilton really is into her BFF’s boyfriend’s brother! A source tells UsWeekly that “Paris never gave it up to travel with a guy like this.” In fact, her current mood on MySpace is “loved.” Paris also writes, “It’s been so much fun! I’ve never felt so happy and in love, he’s such an amazing guy and life has never been better!” Smiley face.

But is she so in love that she wants mini Parises and Benjis running around? Possibly. Paris said last year that she was prepping her body for pregnancy – hey, save the giggles, at least she’s thinking ahead. Or is she just trying to keep up with Nicole Richie? Sources tell British Star magazine that Nic hates when Paris copies her every move – first a Madden and now a baby?

While we love that P finally has a good guy on her side, it’s kinda scary that they’ve been starting to dress alike. When’s the last time we saw Paris in a little color?
