"Every other guy I've been out with has used me for money or sex -- but in most cases they just want fame. It made it hard to trust people." That's Paris Hilton, tearfully sharing her tale of woe with Britain's News of the World as she promotes the U.K. version of her "BFF" series. She says one of those so-called users was Rick Salomon, her co-star in the decidedly unsexy, action-lacking sex tape that put her on the map. "I loved this guy for three years, but he betrayed me. Rick's a scumbag and I hate him," huffs the increasingly slimline starlet of the man who last year briefly became the third Mr. Pam Anderson. "It was just the most horrible thing that's ever happened to me. So humiliating and embarrassing. But at the end of the day, I didn't do anything wrong." Still, such lack of loyalty left her wondering "exactly why somebody wanted to be with me," she says. "And that made things really difficult." But from her dark, porn- and Greek billion-heir-littered past has emerged a brighter, Benji Madden-crammed present. "I'm so relieved I don't have to think about that now because I've found someone who loves me for me. Benji's my best friend, and I know he'd never hurt me," pronounces Paris, who with the Good Charlotte rocker recently went overboard with the lovey-dovey declarations as they denied rumors that his eye had wandered. "My love life's in the happiest place it's ever been. Benji's with me because he loves me and that's it. I know I can trust him, and he knows he can trust me." Hilton adds that she'd "love to start a family in the next year," but unlike sometime BFF Nicole Richie, who welcomed daughter Harlow in January with Benji's twin brother Joel, she prefers to go the more traditional route. "I want to get married before we have kids," she says. "I want three or four."
Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer's resuscitated romance has been a boon for more than just the tabloids. It's also provided some well-deserved publicity for singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne, whose music has become the unofficial soundtrack for the capricious squeezes. The actress, 39, and the crooner, 31, turned up at LaMontagne's Los Angeles concert last Thursday, an outing that came just weeks after they re-emerged as a twosome by going on a "very public date" to the "Trouble" troubadour's show in Boston. "They were hugging," a spy at the Los Angeles performance tattles to E! News, "but there wasn't any kissing." Aniston and Mayer, who recently gushed on his blog that LaMontagne is as "brilliant as any artist that has ever lived," were equally hands-on earlier in the week as they hit their go-to spot, the Sunset Tower Hotel. An eyewitness tells People they "were very loving and sweet together -- very affectionate." At least when they weren't networking. "There were a lot of industry people around at other tables," adds the mole. "Every time they got up, they were saying 'hello' to someone else."
Speaking of meet-and-greets, Mayer apparently isn't interested in having one with his ex, Jessica Simpson. Both People and Us have details of their "awkward" chance encounter on Oct. 22 at the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel. Seems John walked by his Tony Romo-smitten former flame as she dined with a few pals and dad Joe -- and kept right on going. "They definitely locked eyes," a source tells People. "[But] they never interacted. ... Jessica had the 'I cannot believe this is happening' look on her face." Or, as the Us mole more succinctly recalls, she said "holy s---" as Mayer made a hasty exit. The frosty run-in comes three months after the direct-to-DVD country warbler publicly expressed her gratitude to her onetime boyfriend. "John believed in the Jessica Simpson that's within," she self-affirmed to Elle. "He cherished our love. He helped make me the woman I am today. John is going to be an amazing man for someone, but I know that I was supposed to be with someone else."
Interested in a little high school-style drama to take your mind off more serious matters, like, say, the election or the state of your 401(k)? Miley Cyrus seems only too happy to oblige. During a performance in Paris on Halloween, the not-quite-16-year-old powerhouse introduced "7 Things," a song she's hinted is about her pop idol ex, Nick Jonas, by sending it out to those unlucky-in-love tweens who "hate their ex-boyfriend." Then, as the song ended, Miley tossed out, "I still hate you." Those seemingly negative feelings make it something of a head-scratcher as to why her rumored beau, Justin Gaston, reportedly decided to dress up as a Jonas Brother (and possibly the Jonas Brother) for Halloween. The attention-seeking underwear model-cum-wannabe singer, 20, happily posed for paparazzi as he handed out candy to trick-or-treaters outside the Cyrus family home.
Is mutual goofiness the glue that's holding Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon together? The surprisingly durable couple donned two amusing getups to host a Halloween eve bash in New York, arriving dressed as firefighters (or, in the bra-flashing chanteuse's case, the Victoria's Secret version of a firefighter) before changing into a milk-and-cookie combo (Mariah sported a flesh-colored leotard covered in the chocolate chip-filled treats, thereby killing our Famous Amos craving for a good long while). People reports Mr. and Mrs. Cannon were celebrating their six-month anniversary at the soiree, an occasion that Nick, who was deejaying, marked by announcing from the booth, "I love you, and happy anniversary." Meanwhile, the New York Post says they were just as moony during a recent stop in Miami, with a spy, who's apparently read one too many romance novels, relaying how they "embraced lustfully like love-struck lovers" following one of Nick's DJ gigs. But the National Enquirer believes there's dirty weather ahead for the lovebirds, claiming they're battling over how and where to spend New Year's Eve. Mariah supposedly wants to celebrate quietly in the Bahamas, while Nick is said to be looking for a big payday to host a Las Vegas bash with his more famous missus. "Mariah and Nick love each other," a mole tells the tab, "but if they can't solve this problem, it could end up being a lonely New Year's Eve for them both."
