Awkward

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are awkward

Paris Hilton ran into ex-boyfriend Benji Madden at the grand opening of the D&G boutique last night in Beverly Hills. From E!:

The usually photo-happy heiress waved off photogs as the former couple chatted cozily together. After grabbing drinks at the bar, Paris quickly approached Nicole to say hi, and then she and Benji headed out to the smoking patio for some more quiet conversation.
Both Paris and Benji looked happy and friendly as they hung together, but when asked if she and Benji were getting back together, all Paris offered was a knowing smile. Ultimately, Benji left the bash with Joel and Nicole, leaving Paris to hang with sister Nicky and David Katzenberg. (Source)

Thanks to my exclusive sources, I managed to obtain a transcript of Benji and Paris' exact conversation last night:

Benji: "Hey."

Paris: "Hey."

Benji: "How are you?"

Paris: "Good, how 'bout you?"

Benji: "Good."

Paris: "How's the family?"

Benji: "Good."

Paris: [. . . awkward silence . . .]

Benji: [. . . awkward silence . . .]

Paris: "So should we 'accidentally' leak our sex tape before or after Christmas to generate maximum publicity?"
