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.

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."

Oh please, like Paris has friends? Anyway, you can't blame a girl for wanting to leave the teetotaling confines of a Madden and slide headlong into the warm, gooey jalapeno-flecked crunch of Stamos Nachos.

PARIS Hilton desperately wants her ex, Stavros Niarchos, back, say sources who have followed her antics in Miami this week. The former lovers, who are in South Beach for the annual Art Basel festivities, provided a traveling sideshow as Hilton spent the week trailing Niarchos from spot to spot trying to get his attention. Hilton first ran into him at Mansion Wednesday night, where he was paid to host the official Art Basel kickoff party. When the Greek shipping heir showed up with Brandon Davis' ex-girlfriend, Caroline Vreeland, however, Hilton was not pleased. "Paris beelined for Stavros, but he was chatting up Caroline," said our source. "He was completely ignoring Paris, and she was furious. She shot them evil looks and finally stormed up to them and started screaming at Caroline." On Thursday, the celebutard followed Niarchos to three different clubs. One partygoer at Mokai, where the rich kids started their night, told us, "Paris saw that Stavros was with a girl, and she went crazy. She literally stood on Stavros' table and began screaming at him. Then she started dancing and trying to get his attention." The insider said that when Stavros and his date left Mokai and moved on to Set, Hilton followed: "Paris went to great lengths trying to get Stavros' date kicked out, begging club security to get rid of the girl." Our witness even claimed, "Paris was so furious, she ended up walking up to the girl and just punched her." But a rep for Hilton called that account baloney: "Paris was at both clubs but at no time physically struck anyone. These accusations are completely false."

We're kind of surprised that Paris would actually punch someone and not get her bodyguard to do it for her. We're also surprised that Stamos's ladyfriend wasn't the one to punch Paris in the face, as Paris was clearly making out with the girl's evening escort:

Lindsay Lohan is now spending time with her ex, Stavros Niarchos, after she dumped rehab buddy Riley Giles a week ago. Niarchos, who used to date both Lohan and her frenemy Paris Hilton, this time is sticking with the newly sober star. Hilton showed up to a party for the anti-smoking lozenge Ariva at Crimson in Hollywood the other night and tried to hook up with Niarchos – who, spies said, "wanted nothing to do with her and seemed so annoyed by her, he left the party" to go hang with Lohan. Hilton, unaware she had irked Niarchos, was then seen wandering around "asking where Stavros had gone."

C'mon now. We love our Nachos, but we'd never date him. What exactly is the draw here? His Brendan Fraser in Encino Man hair? His ability to block the rays of the sun with his towering frame and save a starlet from early wrinkling? His stellar record as a lover of the lower classes? We would say it was his piles and piles of spanakopita-scented money, but two of the ladies in question just made Forbes's list of the 20 top-earning young superstars under 25 (poor Hilty didn't make the list because she's an old hag of 26). Can someone please enlighten us here? We don't get it.

And Senor Skin has Lindsay looking hot too.

"They were super into each other,î clubgoer Susan McGinley tells Life & Style. Adds a second partyer [sic], Stacey Kives, ìHe was making moves and she was eating it up.î

The duo kissed passionately for a few minutes, says the first witness – and then Mary-Kate, 21, put her hand over her mouth and giggled.

One person wasnít laughing. When Stavrosí on-again, off-again love Paris Hilton, 26, heard about the PDA, she was infuriated. ìShe thinks MK was publicly hooking up with Stavros just to piss her off,î says an insider close to Paris.

Oh, what a verbal web you weave, quoted sources. Dropping a hilarious "eating it up" anorexia joke and a subtle "piss her off" reference to her busted kidney? Well-played. Well-played.

LINDSAY Lohan just can't seem to stop partying – and, unluckily for her, word on the street is that someone may have recorded her revelry with a cellphone video camera. We can't divulge what Lohan was allegedly caught doing, but if true, it won't sit well with her younger fans. Apparently, all the naughtiness went down last week at a party at a private house in Beverly Hills that was also attended by her frenemy Paris Hilton, shipping heir Stavros Niarchos and Ryan Seacrest. At one point, the party was disrupted by a huge rat that ran into several rooms, causing revelers to scream, drop their drinks and run, until Niarchos kicked the rodent out onto a balcony. A rep for Lohan told Page Six, "I have not heard of this."

What could Lindsay have possibly been doing that would upset her younger fans? Drinking alcohol? Hoofing rails? Making a Hannah Montana doll and a Pete Wentz doll have nasty plastic sex? Perhaps Celebrity Babylon can shed some light on the mysterious goings on:

The party was shut down at around 6 am on Sunday, April 29, after cops, who had been called by Kelly Osbourne to look for her missing purse, found cocaine in one of the VIP restrooms!

Obviously this means that if you see a huge rat roaming the streets with a Stamos Nachos footprint on its head and a Fendi bag, call Kelly; she really wants her shit back. Oh, and also don't read too much into that coke in the shitter. It's definitely not Lindsay's. She would never leave any behind.

BRANDON "Greasy Bear" Davis is so unpopular, even his friends don't want to be associated with him. The oil-heir grandson of the late Marvin Davis showed up to the Details magazine party March 29th at producer Mary Parent's house in Hollywood and became enraged when he was denied access. According to our spy, "he started demanding that staffers get Stavros [Niarchos]." The Greek shipping heir had evidently told Davis about the party and was already inside. But when staffers found Niarchos, he begged them to tell Davis that he wasn't there, adding, "I didn't invite him here, and I don't really want to be around him." Niarchos then joined the other revelers. Davis eventually made such a fuss that he was allowed in – and Niarchos beelined to a Details editor to apologize, adding, "You know I would never bring him here."

The rest of Stamos's pleading proceeded thusly, "Please, Mister, don't get mad; it's not my fault. He followed me here, I swear. I tried to get rid of him, turned down dark alleys and ducked behind mailboxes, but he has a superhuman sense for the smell of Paris Hilton. He can smell it from miles away, and even though I haven't touched her in months I just can't get the stench to go away. If you invite me to your next party I promise to bathe in tomato juice and CK1 to rid the stink and lose the bear."

Has Hilary Duff scooped up Paris Hiltonís leftovers?

Just weeks after the partying heiress split from shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, he was spotted getting cozy with Duff at Les Deus in Los Angeles, reports In Touch Weekly.

Early in the evening, Niarchos was on his best behavior ó coincidentally, perhaps, Hilton was also at the nightclub. But as soon as Hilton left, reports the mag, the partying playboy made a beeline for Duff and spend much of the evening getting close to her.

ìThey traded numbers ó and a kiss ó before they left,î a partygoer told the mag.

Hilton isnít likely to turn into a wallflower, though. Sheís been spotted around town with ìDesperate Housewivesî hottie Josh Henderson.

We think Lindsay Lohan is behind this. We've heard rumblings that Lindz and Hil have finally realized that fighting over Aaron Carter for the better part of a decade is kind of like fighting over a role in a Lifetime made-for-TV movie and have finally made up. Lindsay's just trying to fulfill her vendetta against best friend/cunt Paris through the manipulation of Paris's ex. What Lindsay doesn't know, though, is that to feel anything like jealousy or pain or embarrassment one must possess a soul. Better luck with your next victim, Lindz.

Yep, that's a tit alright. A tit that Stamos Nachos is about to nuzzle and suckle and fondle. And we've just discovered the image that will haunt our nightmares in the coming weeks. (X17 has the full Stamos and Paris photo series.)

But Nachos better be careful of Paris's taco, as it may contain some rancid meat. In this X17 video, Shanna Moakler has a helpful message for Paris: "She should take her Valtrex." Yes, we've heard of Paris's ability to excel in the herperial arts many times before, but maybe this message was meant to warn Paris that Travis Barker brings more to a relationship than wicked rad air drumming moves. Perhaps when Paris and Travis combine their unique herpes strains they will create a super virus capable of infecting passersby at a hundred-foot distance that will eventually destroy the entire planet.

Meanwhile Tina Fey popped up on the Howard Stern show yesterday, and instead of answering questions about whether or not breast feeding gets her hot, she talked about Paris, whom she called "a piece of shit." Cityrag helpfully transcribed the best parts, including:

She said Paris had "the hair of a fraggle", and left "nasty wads of Barbie hair on the floor" from her "cheap weave"!

and

[Paris] asked them to write a skit so she could play Jessica Simpson "because I hate her" "she's fat".

We know you're saying to yourself, "Gawd, what a bitch," but really who among us can claim that we don't hate Jessica Simpson because she's fat? You may think you're so much better than Paris, but you're not. You're just a boob-flashing, Jessica Simpson-hating walking herpes farm, just like Paris.

And if you've still got the energy, move on to Tina.

C'mon, ladies, if your night is going to end with multiple police reports, at least let it be over George Clooney. Or how about Adrian Grenier? He's hot. Even Colin Farrell we might understand. But a pop-punk drummer with a fauxhawk and necktoos? Is that really the best you can do?

TMZ reports:

TMZ has learned that Paris Hilton and Shanna Moakler have both filed police reports early Wednesday morning, alleging each was attacked. Paris says Moakler socked her in the jaw. Moakler claims Paris' ex shoved her down some stairs.
Elliot Mintz, Paris' publicist, tells TMZ that his client was at Hyde nightclub Wednesday night and at approximately 1:10 a.m. she says she was approached by Shanna, who allegedly began screaming obscenities at her. Hilton says at that point Moakler struck her in the jaw with a closed fist as she continued to shout profanities. Mintz says Moakler was restrained and several people helped Paris exit Hyde. Mintz says Hilton never touched Moakler.
Mintz and Hilton then went to the LAPD's Hollywood Division where she filed a police report, alleging battery.
We're told Moakler also went to the station to file a report against Paris' companion that evening, Stavros Niarchos, alleging that he poured a drink over her head. A source tells TMZ that Moakler alleges that Niarchos shoved her down some stairs.
We're told police took photos of both women at the station, though it's unclear if either showed visible signs of injury.

Ahhh, it all makes sense now that we know our favorite jolly Greek giant was involved. See, what happened was that Stamos spied Shanna across the Hyde crowd and mistook her for a homeless person. (You know, because her reality-show money came from MTV and not a big network like Fox, like Paris's reality-show money.) And since upturning cups of fluid atop the heads of the homeless is a favorite pastime of Stamos's, there was no other possible outcome for the evening.

And would you look at that? So's Shanna.
