The last time I checked with Paris Hilton herself—or, to be more specific, with what I described as “that complicated flux” called her relationships—it was a little confusing.  She split up with Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, and it was given a different spin, depending on who you are talking to: either Paris is still in love with him, or is not breaking up with him, or is that desperate to actually attempt to track Benji down and force him to spend time with her.  And then Brittany won Paris Hilton's My New BFF, which distracted us from further developments, or at least those worth watching.

By now, you very much know that Paris and Benji have indeed split up, and despite his appearance on the finale of My New BFF—it's pre-taped anyway, so there are no shattered expectations there—things have been different in the present.  Followers have made much play of Paris' many solo appearances, as she continues doing her work or just having some fun.  Of course, there are spottings of her with Brittany, because that's what BFFs do, right?  Spend some time with each other.

But, in an interview with Us Weekly, Paris' mother, Kathy, said that the two former lovers are still talking.  “They both really care for each other a lot,” she said during a charity event in Hollywood last Monday.

So, could the two come back to each other's arms?  “One never knows what's going to happen,” Kathy conceded.  “Anything is possible.  He is a really good guy.”

Then again, you could wonder whether it is a break-up, after all.  If you can remember, Paris didn't tell Ryan Seacrest, on an interview on his radio show, that they have split up.  “Right now we're just taking a break,” she said a couple of weeks ago.  “He has been working nonstop with his brother on his new record.  I am working and traveling … This is a decision we made together as adults.”

And you can believe her on that: right now, she's in Madrid, promoting a Spanish social network site, as well as her own line of perfumes, Fairy Dust.  He's busy at work with Good Charlotte's fifth outing, famously described to be akin to their old pop-punk sound.  She said, in Madrid, that she's “living proof that blondes are not dumb”—so maybe it's time that we believe her, after all.  She didn't say it's a break-up.  Why say the opposite?
