Paris Hilton says boyfriend Benji Madden will be “an incredible father”
Benji Madden, twin brother to Joel Madden, has made quite an impression on his girlfriend of four months, Paris Hilton. The 27-year-old socialite appears particularly smitten with how at ease Benji is around his new niece, Harlow Winter Kate, turning 4-months-old on Monday. Says ‘Aunt Paris,’
[Benji] will babysit. I can tell he’s gonna be an incredible father. He loves babies.
The couple is already talking marriage and from the sound of it, a carriage isn’t far behind. Paris says that Harlow — Joel’s baby with girlfriend Nicole Richie — is a big motivator, adding,
Nicole is our first friend to have a baby … Seeing Harlow, it really makes me want one. I’ve always wanted to have a baby.
However, Nicole seems to think it’ll be quite awhile before Paris is ready!

I really like Paris and Benji together…they seem like the real deal. And I think Paris would be a great mother. She is a very affectionate women with a lot of love to offer.

Benji and Joel are not identical twins. But, I think it would be interesting to see how Paris could transform into a mother. But, then again no one really thought Nicole would know what she was doing either. Hopefully we see anoter Madden baby soon!

I wish all the best for Benji and Paris in their future, and I agree that they probably would make good parents someday (possibly soon.)
Personally I find it funny and a bit interesting that Paris, despite her beauty and wealth, seems to still want what her friends have, to even go so far as to date her best friend’s fiancee’s twin brother! If she and Benji do marry & have a child together, then her child would even be her best-friend Nicole’s daughter’s first cousin! Talk about slick! lol!

Please God – no.

I agree, Autumn. Money can’t buy happiness. That comes from within.

Please God – no.

I like her and Benji together, but Paris always seems to be in love with someone. I do like how Benji is not out partying and seems to be a very solid guy, hopefully he will be the one.
I don’t like how she says she has always wanted a baby. Babies are not accessories and her comment just gives me that vibe that she doesn’t realize that. I don’t know maybe if she had said she has always wanted to be a mother I would have received it differently. I know Paris supporters are going to say what’s the difference but to me there is one. There are so many different aspects to “having a baby” and it’s so much bigger than just “having a baby.” I don’t mean that in a negative way as I have two children and being their Mom is what I live for, they are my greatest accomplishment.
Anyway best of luck to them and that was a good point Autumn.. very true!!
As I don’t know if I will be commenting before Sunday.. Happy Mothers Day to all of you Moms

Jaime. No, no, Benji and Joel are identical twins born 5 minutes apart, Benji being the older one.

I agree it does seem like paris is always “in love” with someone and then moves on a few weeks later. I find it so “coincidental” that she is dating the brother of nicoles boyfriend. It just seems odd. Its kind of weird actually In their show she was always talking about how cool it would be if they were related so i guess she will go to any length to get there. I wonder how nicole feels about it? maybe she doesn’t care but maybe she is tired of paris always working her way into everything she is involved in….
May 9th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Sadly it seems like a fad for Paris. Just like everything else in her life. I honestly believe she wants what Nicole has. And that is not a good reason to bring a child into the world.
May 9th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Paris and benji are a cute couple, and nobody knows paris personally so she might very well be a good mom. She isn’t exactly a kid, if she would get pregnant this year, she would be 28 by the time the baby is born. I remember when nicole announced a pregnancy a lot of people saying oh no, and so far she seems to be doing fine, so the same could be for paris. It would be cute if nicole and paris both had kids from madden brothers, joel and benji I can’t even tell them apart lol.

If she would’ve said “Seeing Nicole with Harlow really makes me want to be a mother.” it would have come off better. What she said sounds childish. Like your friend just got a new car and now you want one too.
May 9th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
I agree with above posts..it does sound stupid. I think that Paris is probably a really good Auntie.
May 9th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
She shouldn’t even be on this blog. She doesn’t have kids. There have been numerous reports of her getting dogs (the small ones she often is photographed with) and instead of potty training them confined them to closets and then traveling, often forgot about them. Housekeepers only to discover them dead of starvation. Not a good candidate for motherhood, sorry. She is ridiculous and not an example of a strong woman or mother figure.

Seeing Nicole Richie go through her pregnancy and her with Harlow and how beautiful she looked and just lloking at her through the whole process, I have to say I am for the first time excited about pregancy and having a baby.
No offence to anyone but some people make pregnancy so stressful and have such horrible stories about birth and babies crying and stress that i was never into it until now.
I mean if Nicole can inspire me through CBB, I can imagine that it does the same for paris. I have officially crossed over to those people aww at baby clothes.
Anyways, its natural for Benji and Paris to be drawn to each other. I think they are a really sweet couple.
And finally, its rude to judge who should and shouldn’t want a baby. You don’t know Paris
so you can’t say what kind of mother she will be.
May 9th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I like Benji and Paris as a couple. He has seemed to be a good influence on her in so many ways. You never see her out at clubs unless Benji is with her and her clothing has seemed to be more tamed down. She seems to be changing for the better.
I don’t see how some people can say Paris is going to be a bad mother based on her past. Remember, Nicole has the same past and look at her with Harlow. She’s wonderful. It’s wrong to be judgemental when you don’t know her personally. What’s wrong with her saying she’s always wanted to have a baby? She’s 27 and even though she’s always wanted to have a baby she doesn’t have one. She obviously knows that she isn’t 100% ready for a child but there is nothing wrong with expressing that she has always wanted a baby.
With that being said, I hope her and Benji stay together for a long time. They seem happy together and good for each other.
May 9th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I really like Paris and Benjy together, he seems really good for her. They seem to have good chemistry, I hope it works out and she settles down happily with him, I think underneath it all she actually has a good heart and will be a good mom someday.
May 9th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
note to paris: kids aren’t accessories. you can’t get rid of them when they go out of fashion or out of season. you’re required by law to care for them for a least 18 years lol! she said after seeing harlow, it made her want one. that comment scared me a bit, because it sounds like someone commenting on a purse or a small dog, not a child lol! i had no idea that paris was even seeing benji…or that joel had a twin brother for that matter. which was helpful to know when i initially frowned at the pic of paris and “the joel lookalike”. the union does seem very coincidental to me as well. altho i dont care for paris, so i dont keep up with anything she’s doing. i would just be concerned for any child she could potentially bring into this world. nicole’s right…she’s not ready.
May 9th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Casey- ITA! I also want to point out that, when they were in their early to mid twenties (a bit younger than Paris is now) not a lot of people would have guessed that Tori Spelling or Angelina Jolie would be good moms. However, they both did what most “wild children” do, they grew up. Who’s to say that Paris can’t do the same?
May 9th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Mary- How do you know Paris isn’t ready to be a mom? I mean, be honest, when Nicole first announced that she was pregnant, did you think SHE was ready to be a mom?
That said, I want to point out that I recently read an article on People’s website in which Paris’s mother stated that she truly believes that Paris is “geniunly in love for the first time”. In otherwords, I have a feeling her falling love with her best friend’s twin brother was just conicidental. Oh, and BTW, one commentor referred to Joel as Nicole’s fiancee. I’m pretty sure that they aren’t engaged yet.
May 9th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
I really don’t like Paris and this whole little Paris/Benji thing seems like just a copycat Nicole/Joel thing. It’s really irritating and I can’t wait when no one cares about her anymore. I don’t understand her appeal or why people like her.
May 10th, 2008 at 12:10 am
CelebBabyLover- Her mum also said that when she dated male Paris. I don’t know her, but based on her mother’s behaviour when Paris was in court, I don’t think even the mother is ready to have kids. She was rude to the judge and acted like the whole thing was below her and can’t believe the judge would put her celebrity daughter in jail.
May 10th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
stephanie your comment is absurd paris hilton was given a 45 day sentence for driving on a suspended license.The average sentance for such a crime would be a fine or community servive.Rocky delgados wife was given a 1000 dollar fine for doing the same thing of course her mother is going to be outraged and upset i say this because if it was my daughter i wouldnt have even managed to hold myself together.I cant imagaine how it felt watching someone you love being victimised and put through that pain.The hilton family managed to conduct themselves with great class through out the whole situation which couldnt have been easy.No matter who these people are they are still humans and feel all the same emotions as us.Before you judge people so harshly you should think how you feel if it was you.
May 10th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
i don’t believe paris is as bad as the press make her out to be.i think her flaws r probably magnified in the tabloids.ive said it before and ill say it again,10 years ago, no one would have pegged tori to be a good mother, or more recently nicole and joel. i’ve never really been a fan of paris’s, but i can accept that she is a product of her environment and other than that, it’s really hard to know much what she is actually like as a person.
May 11th, 2008 at 3:48 am
My mom told me that once you become a mother, your life is no longer yours and you became self-less. Paris is the most selfish, moronic, self-obsessed, responsibility-shirking celebrity I have ever heard of. She has been engaged and/or “madly in love” how many times? She owns how many neglected pets? She was supposedly a changed woman after her woefully short jail sentence, but nothing changed except some BS lip service to Larry King and tabloids and a few photo ops. She makes me sick and I sincerely hope she never reproduces, ever.

I wonder if Paris realizes that there is a difference between a baby and a lap dog. Check out the parody video of Paris on minimovie.com- it’s hilarious!
