LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - On July 13, the New York Post's gossip column, Page Six, reported that Paris Hilton moved in next door to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's Glendale, California home, and has been a "local nuisance." The column said that the heiress moved in with her boyfriend, Joel's twin brother, Benji Madden, and "Nicole moved out there to get away from the paparazzi, but when Paris calls them they come to her quiet street and disrupt everything. She's getting a little fed up."

Hilton responded on her blog, denying the Page Six report, and said, "I'm sick of Page Six and other gossip sites printing completely false stories. Page Six reported that I have moved into Benji's neighborhood, and that Nicole is upset by this...SO NOT TRUE! First of all, I don't even live in Glendale. Secondly, I have my own home in a gated community in Beverly Hills..."

Page Six shot back with two entries, the first of which blasted Hilton for having "infant envy" and for "desperately trying" to have a baby with her boyfriend, because she was "jealous of all the attention [best friend] Nicole Richie has been getting and knows she's fallen off in the tabs lately." The second entry criticized the socialite for compulsively lying about her life, noting that she has lied about everything from using drugs and drinking to having a fake engagement ring.

Hilton has yet to issue a second response to the New York Post.

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Paris Hilton fired back at John McCain yesterday after the Republican presidential candidate used images of the star in his ad digging into Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

In the video, Hilton, 27, refers to McCain "as that wrinkly white haired guy [who] used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I am running for president, so thanks for the endorsement, white-haired dude."

In her response, the heiress and reality television star also discussed solutions for the nation's energy crisis. Hilton stated, "Barack wants to focus on new technology to cut foreign oil dependency and McCain wants off-shore drilling...why don't we do a hybrid of both candidates' ideas? We can do limited off-shore drilling with strict environmental oversight, while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. That way the offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in, which will then create new jobs and energy independence. Energy crisis solved!"

McCain's spokesman Tucker Bounds told the NY Daily News, "It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain's 'all of the above' approach to America's energy crisis - including both alternatives and drilling. In reality, Paris Hilton may have a more substantive energy policy than Barack Obama."

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Paris Hilton wants her own Las Vegas nightclub, and according to In Touch Weekly, the Hilton Hotel heiress is in "in talks right now."

Hilton, 27, tells the magazine, "I think I found a really good space," and reveals that she's even picked out a name for the venue, "but I can't tell anyone...it's not trademarked yet!"

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Two of Paris Hilton's pet dogs were killed by coyotes earlier this week X17online has learned. The dogs were apparently on the grounds of Paris' hillside home when the attack occurred.

"Paris is really upset about it," a source close to Paris told X17online exclusively. "Some people think she's eccentric, having so many pets, but she just really, really loves animals and it was devastating for her."

It is not clear which of Paris' dogs were killed in the attack.

Los Angeles area animal control officials called the attack "unfortunate" and said that it can be difficult for residents who live in areas where coyotes are found to protect their pets.

Hilton is a well known animal lover and has often been photographed with her pets at a variety of high profile events.

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Paris Hilton says she and boyfriend Benji Madden are "taking a break" but remain "really good friends."

Paris talked about the end of her nine-month relationship on this morning's "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles.

"I love him, he's such an amazing man. He's my best friend and he's been so great to me and so loyal. He's an incredible person and we'll always be close," Paris said.

As to the future of their relationship, Paris said she doesn't know what will happen, but added, "I'm still in love with him."

Seacrest asked if pictures that surfaced of Paris with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos had anything to do with the split.

"That's ridiculous," Paris said. "I was in Miami on a girls' weekend with some BFF from the show and we were just sitting there and Stavros came up and said 'Hi. Hello. How are you,' a very quick conversation and someone must have gotten a quick camera phone picture me just smiling and saying hello to someone I haven't seen in a year."

Paris said that Benji wasn't upset by the pictures. "He's not a jealous person and he knows that i have no interest in him [Stavros] whatsoever," Paris said.

Hilton also said infidelity wasn't an issue in the break-up.

"I've never been treated so well in my life or trusted anyone like this," Hilton said. "He's a very special person. There's no one like him."

Paris said that she didn't think the break up would affect her relationship with friend Nicole Ritchie, who has a child with Benji's brother Joel.

"I love Joel and Nicole and their whole family," Paris said. "Nicole and I don't get in each others' relationships. We've had a friendship that's been going on since we were two years old and nothing would change that."

The newly single Paris says she has no plans to start dating again anytime soon.

"I still obviously have feeling for Benji. I'll always love him and don't want to see anyone, " Paris said. "The thought of that just grosses me out."

Paris says she's sad she'll be single for the holidays, but is looking forward to a trip to Australia with her sister Nicky where the pair plan on hosting a New Year's Eve party.

Before hitting the beach, Reinhardt took Paris on a $30,000 shopping spree, picking up luxury items at stores such as Fendi, Louis Vuitton and The Enchanted Princess.

"They look so sweet together. It seems like a really good match," a friend of the couple tells X17online.

Even in a place used to celebrity visitors, Paris' appearance caused a stir. Fans mobbed the happy couple trying to snap a picture of the happy couple.

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Paris Hilton is fighting back against claims that she didn't do enough to promote her 2006 film "Pledge This!" The producers of the film have filed suit against Hilton seeking more than $8 million in damages.

In a deposition filed in the case, Hilton says, "Any chance I got, any red carpet, any press, if I was doing something for another product...I would just bring it up, 'Oh, my new sorority film, it's going to be sexy, it's going to be really hot girls'...I really did my best."

The Associated Press reports that the lawsuit was filed by Michael Goldberg, the court-appointed receiver for a failed Miami investor in the film, Worldwide Entertainment Group. Goldberg claims Hilton's failure to promote the movie's DVD release cost the investor more than $8.3 million, which is the amount of damages he's seeking. The trial is set to begin by June 8.

Paris and her company, Paris Hilton Entertainment Inc., insist that the heiress honored her deal to promote the limited theatrical release of "Pledge This!," and they also contend that the investors made unreasonable and last-minute demands for publicity events when her schedule was fully booked.

Court documents in the case show that Paris earned more than $22 million in 2006 and 2007 from contracts that included heavy promotional work, including Motorola cell phones in Japan, her Parlux line of fragrances, cosmetics and accessories, and promotional nightclub appearances.

The hot new couple started off their night separately, with Cristiano dining at the Brazilian restaurant Fogo De Chao while Paris and Nicky hit up Nobu, and an X17 source tells X17online exclusively about what began as a girls' night out:

"The Hilton sisters showed up at about 10:20pm and sat on the outside patio. Paris wasn't her usual chipper, chatty self - she looked absolutely miserable. She was clearly flying under the radar with her sister last night. She had a couple of cocktails and she was fiddling with her phone throughout the entire meal."

They met up with Renaldo at club MyHouse in Hollywood were the pair seemed to immediately hit it off.

"Cristiano and Paris were all over each other swapping spit the entire night! His table needed every waitress in the building to service the large quantities of alcohol, and he spent an excess of 20 thousand dollars on champagne and drinks," a spy tells X17online exclusively.

After the club shut down, the hot new couple took a taxi to Nicky Hilton's home in West Hollywood. Renaldo was spotted leaving at 5 a.m. this morning - check it out in the video below.
