Paris Hilton and Benji Madden attend a screening of "Quantum of Solace" at Sony Pictures Studios on November 13, 2008 in Culver City, CA. Us Magazine
Paris Hilton and Benji Madden called it quits Tuesday after nine months of dating, a rep for Hilton confirms exclusively to Usmagazine.com. "Even though
they are still in love, they felt it would be better to just be friends," a source close to Hilton, 27, tells Us. See who else is single this fall. The
reason for the split? "Benji was overprotective and controlling. He doesn't get along with any of her friends," the source tells Us.
"Friends thought Paris had changed since being with Benji and she wants to be herself again." The couple stayed faithful to each other, stresses the
source. Hilton was spotted with her ex, shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, in Miami over the weekend, while Madden, 29, hung in NYC with his bro, Joel (beau of
Hilton's best friend, Nicole Richie). "Nothing went on between Paris and Stav in Miami," the source tells Us. "She was there for a girls
weekend with her BFFs. "Benji really respected her," the source adds. "They will be friends forever." Hilton and Madden first made their
relationship public on February 21, smooching at Hollywood hot spot Villa. They grew serious quickly. Both were spotted wearing rings with each other's
initials, and Madden called Hilton "wife material." In April, Hilton gushed on her MySpace blog: "I've never felt so happy and in love,
[Benji] is such an amazing guy and life has never been better!"

I always thought it was suspicious that she was dating the other Madden brother, after Nicole started dating the first one.

It was never going to last. Paris was never going to totally walk away from her partying ways for a man like Nicole did with Joel.

Finally. I wonder how long they've really been broken up. Watch her go back to Stavros.

Will she ever find a guy and actually stick with him for the long run?

Didn't Paris just deny this 2 days ago?
All last week she talked about how in love they were on all the talk shows  I think she was trying to be like Nicole and settle down but it's just not her thing. Plus she is like Jessica Simpson and tried to morph into his
clone.

They seemed like such an odd pairing. I'm actually shocked they lasted as long as they did. I thought it would be more like a week and a half fling or
something. I don't foresee her ever truly being in a committed relationship. I just don't think she's capable of it.

Why are people acting like theyre not surprised? Its not like they broke up after 10 minutes like she normally does. They were together a while. She wasnt even
partying as much when she was with him. I think it IS a shocker.

"Benji was overprotective and controlling. He doesn't get along with any of her friends," the source tells Us. "Friends thought Paris had changed since being with Benji and she wants to be herself again."So, basically she wanted to be a whore, and Benji wasn't having that. |
