The circus known as the Benji and Paris show.



Until know, I have not comment on the fact that Paris Hilton and Benji Madden from Good Charlotte are dating.
Why? A number of things that spring to my mind.
1. Rebound for Benji - considering the fact that he just broke off his engagement to Australian Sophie Monk.
2. Publicity Stunt and revenge on Sophie. We all know that when the limelight is not on Paris HIlton - she will do anything to get it back.
But, since the relationship has past the second week, I feel like it should be on my blog! After all, it is all things celebrity!

Apart from the fact that Paris has been seen with a 'B' for Benji around her neck and Benji has been donning a 'P' for Paris, Paris has turned into a walking DCMA mannequin - which is owned by Benji and his twin, Joel.

It all just seems to much too fast - I feel like this is a publicity stunt for sure. To support this I came across this on Perez Hilton this morning:

Ashton Kutcher is back to what he knows best, punking people. Cuz we all know he can't act!

The producer of Punk'd has started yet another show punking people.

Clever!

This time, however, things are a bit different. The show, titled Pop Fiction, will now target paparazzi and media outlets. The stars of the show will be those celebs that were tricked on Kutcher's old show.

Pop Fiction is an eight episode series that will air on E!. The show and the pranks are being kept under wraps.

As you may recall, Paris Hilton was seen having dinner in Los Angeles with a "shaman", which we told you seemed very much like a publicity stunt. Well, it was!

Paris was in on the act and was staging the whole night for an appearance on Pop Fiction.

After dinner, she told the paps, "He's really changed my life because the greatest gift is to give." Guess she punk'ed us there again!

Ashton's producing partner, Jason Goldberg, says "You're speaking their language. We live in a culture that's driven by media and obsessed with celebrity, to the point where they don't have private lives anymore. Two people going out to eat turns into, 'They're engaged.' It's a feeding frenzy. It's dangerous and it's irresponsible in some cases."

Unlike Punk'd, Ashton does not appear at the end of every episode to confront the celebs. Goldberg says, "The end results speak for themselves."

If she was punking the press with the sharman - she may well as be doing the same thing with Benji. Paris however is on rocky ground. On again best friend Nicole Richie is dating and just had a child with Joel, Benji's twin. If she breaks his heart, she could also risk friendship with Nicole!

ALSO: on a hair note her "imitation" on the Posh bob, is terrible - get a straightener or put back in the extensions!
