Paris Hilton has dumped her boyfriend of 9 months! Poor Benji Madden.

A pal revealed to The Sun yesterday: "They are just way too different.

"He has helped her grow up and they want to stay friends.

"But essentially he's a bit controlling."

Paris was recently pictured with ex STAVROS NIARCHOS but pals insist he is not involved in the split.

Her pal added: "She's spent a lot of time in Britain and other places lately and they have grown apart.

"She's going to enjoy being single for a while."

So is this off now?
