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.

Paris Hilton launched a television show to look for a new best friend who was hot, loyal and “paparazzi-ready” — and she says she found exactly what she was looking for.

Hilton, 27, the millionaire socialite, said some 300,000 Americans applied to take part in the reality series “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF” (Best Friend Forever), which begins airing on September 30 on MTV.

The 16 women and two men selected to compete had to perform a series of challenges to be Hilton’s new BFF, including how to look hot on a rollercoaster and making a commercial for one of her fashion products. She has now picked a winner with whom she said she has struck up a real, off-screen friendship.

“The person who won is now my best friend. We hang out. Yeah, we’re really friends,” Hilton told Reuters on Tuesday.

“We’ve been having barbecues and hanging out at the house. The winner and I have been pretty low-key so far, because it is top secret right now,” she said.

Hilton said the TV show prepared the contestants for life in Hollywood and hectic red carpet events, parties, and product launches — all under the constant glare of photographers.

“In my life you can get photographed at any time. You never know when paparazzi are going to be hiding around the corner. So my friend needs to be paparazzi-ready,” she said.

In her real-life friendships, Hilton says she values trust more than looking hot and says it was fun to meet people on the show who were not as jaded as the usual Hollywood crowd.

“They (the contestants) were so excited. We went on a private jet to Las Vegas and they had never been on a private plane. It was nice to really show them things they maybe never could do in their life. They were really appreciative and so sweet,” Hilton said.

As for her own qualities as a friend, Hilton said she was loyal, good at keeping secrets, truthful and generous.

“I will always tell you the truth. If you ask me if I like your outfit, if I don’t, I’ll say I don’t. I’m a lot of fun. I love showing my friends my world and enjoying life,” she said.

Hilton starts filming a second series of the show, this time set in England, next month and expects her new “friends” to be very different.

“London is my favorite city in the world. I love their accents, their attitude. They are so real, they are not fake. I feel that everyone in LA wants to be famous but in London it’s more about business.”

One clear fan of a new Paris Hilton documentary has a familiar name: Paris Hilton.

As she left the theater where “Paris, Not France” premiered Tuesday night at the Toronto International Film Festival, Hilton gave a few claps of applause after director Adria Petty was announced for a question-and-answer session to discuss the documentary.

With close access to Hilton, Petty shot extensive footage of Hilton talking about her image, her notorious sex tape, the tabloid photographers who follow her and just the business of being herself.

“I’m basically being judged, and they’re creating this false person, and I can’t do anything about it,” Hilton says in the film.

Featuring interviews with Hilton’s parents, sister Nicky, publicist Elliott Mintz and such personalities as Donald Trump, “Paris, Not France” follows her on business meetings, a promotional trip to Japan and everyday tasks such as getting a burger at a drive-thru while dozens of photographers take shots of her ordering.

“It’s amazing that this woman is a human being and that people actually can be ruthless enough to forget that,” Petty said. “That’s the one thing about this movie and about that experience with her is I could have just been shooting fluff, but she gave me a lot more.”

Before the Toronto premiere, Hilton posed for photos with Petty but did not talk to reporters. Outside the theater afterward, Hilton signed a few autographs before she was driven off in an SUV.

Petty said the idea was to create for this era a film like “Madonna: Truth or Dare,” the 1991 documentary that examined the phenomenon surrounding the pop singer.

Hilton has “created a mystery about herself that a film like this maybe wouldn’t have been a great thing for her in the past,” Petty said. “But now, she’s been so saturated in the media. We’re so used to her. To see a new side of her is so exciting.”
