Gasp! Paris Hilton and Benji Madden Break Up!

Mere days after Paris Hilton was caught canoodling with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos, the sociliate and long-time boyfriend Benji Madden have broken up.

"She is saddened by the breakup but they're just too different and they wanted different things in life," said a source close to Hilton. "He was loyal and sweet but it was time to take a break."

Other reports, however, blame Madden's behavior for the split.

"Benji was overprotective and controlling. He doesn't get along with any of her friends," another insider said. "Friends thought Paris had changed since being with Benji and she wants to be herself again."

In other words: expect an abundance of Paris Hilton nude pics, crotch shots, nights on the town and nauseating reality shows over the next few months. We can't wait.
