Paris Hilton held nothing back "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest" today, saying she's still in love with ex-boyfriend Benji Madden! Paris also explained why the couple broke up.

"Right now we're just taking a break. We're really good friends, we're really close," she says. "I love him, he's such an amazing man. He's my best friend. He's been so great to me ... I'm still in love with him."

Paris says the split was mutual. "I think right now we're just better off as friends. We're both working so much, I've been traveling, he's been working non-stop in the studio with his brother on a new record."

She also cleared the air on rumors surrounding their breakup, saying, "There's all these reports saying I dumped Benji, that's not true. This was a decision we made together as two adults." She says reports that she's been snuggling up to her other ex, Stavros Niarchos III, are "ridiculous."

The two were snapped saying hello in Miami, but she insists they're just friends and that she has no interest in him. "[Benji] is not a jealous person," she added. "I've never been treated so well in my life."
