After pictures surfaced of Paris Hilton canoodling with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos, the rumor mill went crazy about her break up with Benji Madden. Details have now surfaced explaining what happened.

“She is saddened by the breakup but they’re just too different and they wanted different things in life,” said a source close to Hilton. “He was loyal and sweet but it was time to take a break.”

Other reports, however, blame Madden’s behavior for the split.

“Benji was overprotective and controlling. He doesn’t get along with any of her friends,” another insider said. “Friends thought Paris had changed since being with Benji and she wants to be herself again.”

Just when I thought Paris Hilton was going to slow down and quit the craziness, she wants to “be herself” again. Wonderful! Now she can party with her new BFF that she found on reality tv. Riiiiiiight.
