By pretty much all accounts, there’s nothing better than falling in love with your best friend. But most people would argue that it takes a bit of time for a person with any depth to figure out if someone is their best friend… and the same probably goes for falling in love. Luckily having depth and actually getting to know someone beyond superficial job descriptions is not something Paris Hilton is ever bothered with. While attending a party held by Jade Jagger at the Chateau Marmont, Paris loudly proclaimed that boyfriend of about 2 months Benji Madden was not only her best friend but that the two are deeply, deeply in love.

“We make it work so well because we’re best friends and we totally trust each other,” Paris told reporters. “We’re in love, and we have an amazing time all the time together.”

The globetrotting girl also dished on what it’s like to date the twin brother of BFF Nicole Richie’s fiancé: “It’s a lot of fun, because we’re best friends and we have the same taste in guys,” Paris told us. “And they’re basically the same, so…it’s a lot of fun.”

Paris didn’t rule out the thought of a permanent union with Benji. “He’s definitely different than any guy I’ve ever been with. He makes me feel really happy and comfortable, and I’m really in love,” she gushed. Just don’t expect to get an invite to joint nuptials between Paris and Benji and Nicole and Joel—she said she definitely wouldn’t do a double wedding. Guess some things are even too tacky for Paris to consider.

I’ve decided that I’m going to start writing a book called, Deep Thoughts by Paris Hilton. It’ll be in the Jacky Handy Deep Thoughts tradition, but even emptier, because they’re from the mouth of Paris Hilton. And I think the first deep thought will be, “It’s a lot of fun, because we’re best friends and we have the same taste in guys. And they’re basically the same, so…it’s a lot of fun.”

They’re basically the same because Joel and Benji Madden are twins. And apparently according to Paris Hilton, that pretty much means she and Nicole Richie are dating the same guy. I bet she’s mighty confused when she goes to sleep at night with Benji next to her in Beverly Hills, and then she turns on Entertainment Tonight and sees a live feed with Nicole and this guy that looks just like Benji at a party in New York. Paris Hilton’s world must be really confusing. And damn scary.

Here’s Paris talking on her cellphone as she leaves Portofino Sun Center & Spa in Los Angeles yesterday. This may well be my favorite photo of all time. Images thanks to WENN.
