Paris Hilton and Benji Madden called it quits Tuesday after nine months of dating, a rep for Hilton confirms exclusively to Usmagazine.com.

“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.

The reason for the split?

“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.

“Benji really respected her,” the source adds. “They will be friends forever.”

Hilton and Madden first made their relationship public on February 21, smooching at Hollywood hot spot Villa.

They grew serious quickly. Both were spotted wearing rings with each other’s initials, and Madden called Hilton “wife material.”

In April, Hilton gushed on her MySpace blog: “I’ve never felt so happy and in love, [Benji] is such an amazing guy and life has never been better!”

Watch out, Paris Hilton is getting all smelly on us again as she gets ready to debut another fragrance in her ever-expanding empire. The hotel heiress looks particularly thin in the upcoming campaign for “Fairy Dust” but we’re told there was no airbrushing and that Hilton worked-out like crazy to don a barely-there bikini boob-tube and short skirt.

“Paris didn’t want to be altered so as soon as she found out what she had to wear she went overboard with Pilates classes and exercise,” said an inside source, with another pal confirming that the “My BFF” babe “went totally crazy toning up.”

But the perennial party princess is no stranger to being ethereal and whimsical given her many appearances at Hugh Hefner’s famed annual “Midsummer Night’s Dream” soiree. At this year’s party, Miss Hilton wore her wings with just a see-through nightie and thong, so perhaps she drew inspiration from the Playboy for the perfume.

After all, Hilton is reportedly more than just the face of the fragrance — she’s also the brainchild behind the idea. She wanted to be able to wave a magic wand and bring some “fantasy” to her fans during these tough economic times. (Sweet, but isn’t that name of the perfume her former best friend Britney Spears brought out over three years ago?)

Oh and now that the hotel heiress has been busy err, running for president, she also wants her “Fairy Dust” in the Whitehouse powder room. Hilton’s first perfume PA stop is (coincidentally) scheduled for Chicago in early November which means she’ll be close to where Barack Obama will spend Election Night. Schmoozing, perhaps?

Just call her chef Paris Hilton!

“[Benji Madden and I] watch movies and I cook really big dinners for him,” Hilton says on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (the episode airs Tuesday). “I’m an amazing cook!”

So what’s on the menu?

“My whole life, my Mom taught me we’re Italian,” says Hilton, 27.

The heiress says she’s spending a lot more quiet nights inside these days with her beau of seven months.

“Just my whole lifestyle is different,” she explains. “We don’t really go out as much anymore unless it’s for work. I just feel like an adult.”

“When you’re single, it’s different because you want to go out with your girlfriends and have fun,” she says. “But when you’re in relationship and you’re in love, there is no point in going out because you just want to be together and do normal things.

“I think for the first time I’m in a really great relationship with a guy I really trust and treats me really well and who would never hurt me,” she adds.

Hilton gives mutual pal Nicole Richie credit for hooking her up with Madden.

“We’ve been friends for seven years. And then when Nicole had the baby, I went over there, and we hung out and got a crush on each other,” Hilton says. “And then from there we were together.”

Paris Hilton appeared on ABC chatfest The View Thursday to promote her new MTV reality show.

Things took a frosty turn after they aired a clip of her infamous FunnyOrDie spot that spoofs Sen. John McCain.

“Too bad you can’t vote … because you were in the slammer,” co-host Joy Behar cracked. “My friend was in the slammer and couldn’t vote.”

Looking shocked, Hilton shot back, “I can vote.”

“Oh, it was just a misdemeanor?” Behar asked.

“Yes, I drove with a suspended license,” said Hilton.

It isn’t the first time the heiress has gotten riled up on-air.

In an October 2007 Late Show With David Letterman appearance, the late night host peppered her with question about her time in the slammer.

She grew visibly annoyed, wagged her legs in irritation and refused to comment.

The two later reconciled.
