"Even though they are still in love, they felt it would be better to just be friends," a source close to Hilton, 27, tells Us.Benji Madden must really be kicking himself now for breaking up with Sophie Monk. And by kicking himself I of course mean staring down his pants and crying "Please grow back, penis. I'll be good! Honest."
"Benji was overprotective and controlling. He doesn't get along with any of her friends," the source tells Us. "Friends thought Paris had changed since being with Benji and she wants to be herself again."
The couple stayed faithful to each other, stresses the source. Hilton was spotted with her ex, shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, in Miami over the weekend, while Madden, 29, hung in NYC with his bro, Joel (beau of Hilton's best friend, Nicole Richie).
"Nothing went on between Paris and Stav in Miami," the source tells Us. "She was there for a girls weekend with her BFFs."
Being honored for her trendsetting ways, Beyonce Knowles was spotted out on Wednesday night (November 19) for a Seventeen shindig at the Hearst Tower in New York City.
Posing alongside Seventeen Editor Jane Jameson and Editor in Chief Ann Shokethe, the “If I Were A Boy” singer was on-hand as the magazine unveiled Knowles as their 2008 Style Star of the Year.

It looks like Us Weekly got it all wrong. The song, Mmm Papi, off BritBrit's new album, wasn't inspired by or written for her former sleezebag paparazzo beau, Adnan Ghalib.
Nicole Morier, who co-wrote Mmm Papi with Britney Spears, tells PerezHilton.com exclusively:
"I never said that to the US Weekly! The song is definitely not about Adnan and in the whole time I worked with her last spring and summer I never once saw that guy. We strictly wrote the song for fun. the Mmm Papi part came out of Mmm Papa Luv U and I came up with it because the track was a fun up beat track and we wanted to do something crazy like mmmpapamowow.
The mmm papi part came later as rhythmic idea and it was also more inspired by Hey Mami from the group Fannypack and is our ode to all the Latino hotties in the world such as yourself! Please be kind to Britney and I and post this correction. She was oh so sweet and professional to work with, and I believe she's really gotten her life together."
And there you have it!
We think the song may actually be about…..her papi, Jamie! Duh.

Heather Mills' ex-PR rep, Michele Elyzabeth, isn't the only person getting a taste of the one-legged gold digger's venom.
The former Mrs. Paul McCartney has filed a claim against the UK publications Daily Express, Daily Mail, London Lite and The Sun with the British government's Press Complaints Commission.
Mucca's filing cites 'inaccurate reporting and invasion of privacy'.
An investigation has apparently been launched, and will take up to 35 days to complete.
Hey, Mucca. Have you ever heard of that saying, 'you get what you deserve'?
We hope they're going to tell her to shove it.
