Paris Hilton Meets Benji, Talks Puppy Problems

It was another Paris Hilton/Benji Madden rendezvous on Thursday, as the new couple were spotted out on an afternoon soiree at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.

The romantic couple left in separate cars, with Paris donning her best black rocker apparel and sporting a blinged-out necklace.

In other news on the hotel heiress, Miss Hilton has responded to criticism revolving over the fact that she keeps 17 dogs at her LA mansion.

According to press reports, “the socialite is being investigated by LA’s Department of Animal Services after telling chatshow host Ellen DeGeneres about her numerous pets.”

Explaining her situation, Hilton said: “They keep having babies and I feel bad to give them away because I feel like, if I had a baby and someone gave it away it would be mean.”

Since her Ellen appearance, the former Simple Life seems to have managed to part with some of her pups, though, saying: “I only have 10 dogs now. Some of my dogs had puppies, so I gave some of them away to people I really know and trust. I gave some to my stylist and to a few of my best friends, so now I’m down to 10.”
