Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are finally back from their monthlong trip overseas—where they visited Africa, Germany and England, among other countries—and wasting no time getting back into the Hollywood swing of things.

The jet-setting duo hit Jade Jagger's dinner party at Chateau Marmont Monday night to celebrate Belvedere's Jagger Dagger. Mick's daughter designed a custom dagger worth $250,000 used to crack ice blocks to make special Belvedere cocktails. Slightly ridiculous, yes, but a party hosted by a Rolling Stones progeny does bring out the stars and socialites.

Paris (in a gold sequined dress from Jade's Jezebel line) and Benji arrived hand in hand shortly before dinner began at 9, and she was happy to talk about her new man and their travels together:

"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.

Also at the dinner party: Jonah Hill, Nicky Hilton and David Katzenberg, Rachel Zoe and Kim Stewart.
