Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton is romancing blink-182 drummer Travis Barker , “They like each other very much,” says her rep.

The socialite had strongly denied she was dating Travis Barker, but her rep was forced to admit they were a couple after they were seen kissing.

Travis, who’s in the midst of a nasty split from wife Shanna Moakler, and Paris, 25, were first spotted several weeks ago at Las Vegas club Spearmint Rhino. “They were making out like crazy,” an eyewitness noted reports NW Magazine.

They were then seen the following night at another Las Vegas club, Pure.

However, Paris refuted eyewitness accounts, claiming, “I did not make out with Travis Barker. I was with his friend Alex, who I met that night. He looks like Travis … people must have … confused him with Travis.”

Paris’s hook up with Travis, 30, has caused a falling out with jealous oil heir pal Brandon Davis.

What’s more, Travis’s estranged wife Shanna says she feels “betrayed”.

“I feel like it was done out of spite,” says Shanna, who believes Paris and Travis hooked up before she split with her hubby.

Paris Hilton lost her cool backstage at a fashion show in New York this week.

The heiress and party loving socialite was getting ready for her catwalk appearance at the Heatherette Fashion show when she got fed up with a photographer taking pictures of her. According to The Mirror, she flew into a rage and demanded that he leave. Hilton yelled: ” Delete that photo or I’ll take your camera.”

The source added: “Paris was having her hair done and wanted no one around her. When another snapper came through, she screamed: “I said no more fucking photos, why do you never fucking listen?” Her humour didn’t improve when she couldn’t find her mobile phone later. The source revealed:” Then she accused her security of losing her phone. It was found under her purse.”

Thanks to Moris for the heads up!

TMZ has exclusive video of Paris Hilton and blink-182 drummer Travis Barker in an extended make-out session at Manhattan club Marquee, and the couple looks extremely cozy as they whisper in each other’s ears, caress each other’s necks, shoulders, and chests.

After a long night of Fashion Week after-parties, Hilton and Barker headed to exclusive hotspot Marquee, and took up residence in one of the club’s banquettes. Despite the considerable racket around them, Paris and Travis talked intently with one another, and then engaged in a long, intense kiss, oblivious to the pulsing throngs. Some time after their lip-lock, Paris checks her mobile device and decides that she’s got other places to be, leaving Travis behind.

Barker filed for divorce in August from his wife, Shanna Moakler.

Though we can’t say for sure what he was smoking, cameras caught Travis Barker lighting up some sort of cigarette at Marquee last night as Paris Hilton sat at his side.

After someone in Barker’s posse took a hit from the cigarette it was passed to Travis, who took time to burn the end with a candle before taking a puff of his own.

While Paris is not seen smoking, eyewitnesses have spotted the heiress allegedly smoking “something” in the past. Her publicist’s response? She “rolled her own tobacco cigarettes. It was tobacco that you saw.”

Regardless, smoking any kind of cigarette is illegal inside New York bars and nightclubs.

Singer Paris Hilton will thrill her German fans when she visits Munich’s internationally famous Oktoberfest beer festival later this month (SEP06). The socialite has been invited to the event by her business partner GUENTHER ALOYS, whose canned prosecco she’s advertising. The pair will visit the Oktoberfest on 25 September (06). Aloys says, “We want to go to three tents and party.” He adds that Hilton also wants to distribute gingerbread hearts to other guests, if the security measures make it possible. The Oktoberfest begins on Saturday (16SEP06) and ends on 3 October (06).

Paris Hilton and the newly single Travis Barker have taken their PDA-fest to the next level.

First, the heiress and the former blink-182 drummer snuggled at New York City club Butter on Monday – and the following night, they were spotted making out at the NYC nightclub Marquee.

Hilton, Barker and entourage arrived at the hot spot around 12:30 a.m. – Hilton in a leopard-print halter dress, Barker in a baseball cap and red tee, witnesses tell PEOPLE.

At first, they sat together on a banquette, just talking, a source tells PEOPLE. But then the smooching started. “They were all over each other,” another clubgoer says, adding that the pair had a camera and were snapping photos of each other.

Finally, the duo and their entourage headed out at around 1:45 a.m.

Barker is in the middle of a divorce from Dancing with the Stars contestant Shanna Moakler, with whom he has two kids. Responding to sightings of Barker and Hilton together, Moakler told PEOPLE on Tuesday, “When I first heard of the situation I felt betrayed, but … I’ve decided not to exacerbate the situation by commenting on each new aspect of Travis Barker’s personal life.”

Hilton’s rep told PEOPLE, “Paris is single right now. You may in the future see her in the company of other men.”

The director of Paris Hilton’s new movie has defended the star against claims she was late on set and failed to learn her lines. Actress Simona Fusco, who also appears in Bottoms Up! claims the socialite-turned-pop star’s diva antics almost ruined the straight-to-video film. But director Erik Macarthur confesses he had an affair with Fusco and claims she is angry because he only gave her one line. MacArthur tells PageSix.com, “I think Simona is trying to take down the movie.”
