Paris Speaks About Britney: "I Love Her"

Paris Hilton and Britney Spears went from near strangers to inseparable over the week of Thanksgiving, when they spent almost every day together.

“I love her,” Hilton gushed to Us while shopping in Malibu, California, November 27. “She is the sweetest girl I know. She’s so down-to-earth. I just want her to smile and be happy.”

And Hilton, 25, is doing her best to make that happen, taking Spears, 24, shopping and agreeing to give her a complete makeover.

In fact, as the pair party all over L.A. (they’ve hit Hyde, Les Deux, and Teddy’s) they have been locking themselves in bathrooms all over town to make sure that they’re camera ready.

After a meal at the Venetian’s Tao Asian Bistro in Las Vegas, Spears and Hilton retreated to the ladies’ room, where they locked themselves in a bathroom stall to primp for 20 minutes (In the process, Spears lost her black tie).

Spears may be a single woman now, but be careful about dissing Kevin Federline in her presence. She may have smiled at the American Music Awards, but she was furious about host Jimmy Kimmel’s skit featuring a Federline impersonator.

First, when an announcer joked that Federline was there, “she freaked out,” a Spears pal says. “But when she found out it was a joke on him, she was really upset. He’s a d-ck, but he is the father of her kids.”

Another backstage source says Spears was convinced it was really her ex in the skit: “She kept insisting it was him and that she knew what he looked like.”
