Paris Hilton turned heads last night when she hit up the D&G flagship store opening benefiting rhe Art of Elysium. No, it wasn't her stealth red carpet moves that had photogs in a frenzy, it was her planned arrival with none other than ex-boyf Benji Madden.

Although the two didn't take pics together, Paris waited in her car until Benji got there to walk the carpet. Smart. Paris lingered a bit before going in, waiting until B. was done with pictures, and they cruised into the party together arm in arm.

So did Paris have dumper's remorse? Did Benji come back for more? Not the case, dished a very in-the-know gal-pal.

"No," chuckled friendly sis Nicky Hilton, when we asked her if Pare and B were back on for round two.

But it sure looked like the exes were more than friends inside. Paris would coyly stroke Benji's arm and the two hung together all night. However, we'll go with Nick on this one—we get the "friends with benefits" vibe, too (as in beneficial P.R., not nooky, you sillies). Much to Nicole Richie's apparent disappointment, but we'll dish on that later today.
