Paris & Benji Do It for the Cameras
Wherever Paris Hilton and Benji Madden went yesterday, they were swarmed by paps -- they just hooked up but we're already sick of 'em!
TMZ caught them at LAX, the Malibu Country Mart, Fred Segal and Hyde. The couple was holding hands at Fred Segal and were "all over each other," according to a source at the store's Mauro's Cafe.

J.C.! Paris and Nicole Could Be Sisters-in-Law!
Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are officially a thing, meaning if all goes well, Paris and Nicole Richie could be ... sister-in-laws. And you thought the Manson family was scary.
TMZ has confirmed that the Good Charlotte member not named Joel is now officially dating La Hilton. The two were out last night at Home Nightclub in St. Louis (yes, Missouri), where Benji DJ'ed and Paris did what she does best – danced!
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, "They are dating for sure," and that they actually met a while back but were in other relationships at the time. "It was all about the timing," we're told.
Paris & Benji Get High Together
Looks like Paris Hilton only has eyes -- this week -- for Nicole Richie's baby daddy's brother, Benji Madden.
After being spotted together over the weekend in St. Louis, Paris and the Good Charlotte member (who recently called off his engagement to Australian singer/model Sophie Monk) were on the same flight back to LAX -- but deplaned separately on Sunday. No word if Mile High Club officials were called to the scene.

Bardem Tries to Cruz Under the Radar
Javier (or, as Regis had it, X-avier) Bardem and Penelope Cruz went out in public last night -- but still tried their damnedest to not get photographed together.
The down low couple tried to use Villa's infamous (and ridiculous) curtain cave to go in and out of the club incognito. It didn't work.

Christian Slater Makes it Big In Shoe Business
Those diamonds on Christian Slater's girlfriend's neck are probably real -- and it's likely he didn't buy 'em for her. Baby doesn't need a new pair of shoes ...
Slater was spotted at Avalon last night with Tamara Mellon, Co-Founder of Jimmy Choo Ltd. The pair have been dating since the summer and he definitely fits her type -- Mellon used to be married to Matthew Mellon (as in Carnegie Mellon), whom she met at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting.
Orlando's Love No Victoria's Secret Anymore
The spiciest celeb hook-up rumor flying on Valentine's was definitely Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr having a super-romantic dinner in Manhattan. And just this morning, TMZ confirmed it, witnessing Bloom's departure from Kerr's NYC pad. (Sob.)
Of course, when we tried to ask Orly about it later at the airport, he went all Legolas and cryptic, avoiding the question with a sly smile, and somehow disappearing into the ether without any acknowledgment.
Prince Von Ahole Picks Up Boys in WeHo
That Putz from Potsdam and everyone's favorite popinjay, Prince Von Ahole, picked up a couple of boys in West Hollywood on Saturday -- and TMZ rode shotgun for the cruising!
After lunching at the Ivy, the Dummkopf of Dresden was in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which he said that he drives because "It's a safe car." The Prince also neglected to fasten his seat belt, citing an unfortunate accident of years ago, when he "could have been beheaded" had he been wearing a safety belt. No doubt, it wouldn't have affected his ability to think.
The Knucklehead of Nuremberg also took time to insult Zsa Zsa Gabor's step-great-great niece, the brilliant (comparatively) Paris Hilton.

You'd think that if you were gettin' it from Scarlett Johansson, you'd definitely want to sing about it to the hills and everything and everyone else. Or, not.
We caught up with Ryan Reynolds in SoHo yesterday, and our reporter absolutely blistered the "Definitely, Maybe" star with questions about his Valentine's Day plans ... and whether Scarlett was pregnant, and whether they were engaged, and ...
... and Ryan went nowhere near any of it.
Tommy Lee Takes Out Trash
No, that's not an exotic dancer from Cheetahs hanging out (literally) with Tommy Lee -- it's mother-of-three, Shauna Sand!

Paris' New Rex Tape
Paris Hilton added another one to her trail of men last night -- after hooking up with former MTV VJ Simon Rex.
The duo, who both have a history involving some scandalous amateur porn, were caught getting mighty close in the back of Hilton's SUV last night -- as another friend in the vehicle could only watch -- without fast-forwarding.
