Paris desperate to patch up with Benji

London (ANI): Hollywood actress Paris Hilton has sparked rumours that she is back with her ex-beau Benji Madden, after she was spotted talking cosily with him at a Los Angeles event. The hotel heiress, who split from Benji in November, is reportedly keen to patch up with him and made a beeline for him as soon as she heard he was coming at the event.

"Paris was doing interviews on the red carpet when Benji arrived. He stopped to greet her in mid-interview and the two went inside the store together, where she quickly pulled him into a private corner so they could talk," the Sun quoted a source said.

"Paris waved off photographers as the former couple chatted cosily together. After grabbing drinks at the bar, Paris quickly approached Nicole Richie, who was there with her boyfriend, Benji's twin Joel, to say hi, and then she and Benji headed out to the smoking patio for some more quiet conversation, When someone asked Paris if she was getting back together with Benji, she reportedly "offered a knowing smile," the source added.

Just two weeks ago, Paris had hinted that the two might rekindle their romance. "I love Benji. He's such an amazing man and he's my best friend and he's been so great to me and so loyal," Hilton said. "We'll always be very close. We''ll see what happens in the future. I''m still in love with him," she added.
