No surprise that there is already chatter about Paris Hilton and Benji Madden reconciling.  It has been a few weeks since we have seen Paris with a man on her side and the holiday’s are fast approaching.  Panic must be setting in.

Last night’s grand opening of Dolce & Gabbana boutique on Robertson Boulevard seemed to be an awkward scene for some.  Nicole Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden show up on the red carpet for the event to benefit Art of Elysuim.  While the couple was posing for photos, Paris strolled by without even saying boo.

Things changed as soon as her old flame Benji Madden showed up.  Not only did he interrupt her interview – which was most likely about saving the planet, but they went into the store together and chatted it up privately in the corner.  Hilton did tell Ryan Seacrest last month that they were just on a break.

So did they leave together?  No, Benji departed with Nicole and Joel while Paris lingered with Nicky Hilton and her longtime boyfriend David Katzenberg.
