Paris Hilton loves Nicole Richie

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have rekindled their friendship.
'The Simple Life' stars met up last week at Nicole's adoptive father Lionel Richie's Los Angeles home.
The one-time best friends mysteriously fell out over a year ago but last week Paris called Nicole to wish her a belated happy 25th birthday.
The pair then met up at the Beverly Hills hotel last Wednesday (04.10.06) at about 1pm for about 10 minutes. They both drove separately to Lionel's home where they both stayed until after 3pm.
That morning, Nicole had met boyfriend Brody Jenner in Malibu where she ended their relationship. She later wrote on her MySpace blog that her "heart was never in it" and felt that he was using her for publicity.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Paris was involved in a fight with ex-beauty queen Shanna Moakler at Hyde nightclub.
Shanna allegedly shouted abuse at Paris and punched her on the jaw after learning that the heiress had recently kissed her ex-husband, Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker.

Shanna now claims she did not touch Hilton.

Interview with US TV show EXTRA, Shanna Moakler categorically stated that she did not punch Paris Hilton.

"I absolutely did not punch Paris Hilton," she said.

TMZ cameras were also on hand last night, when Paris and Nicole broke bread at Dan Tana's Steakhouse in West Hollywood. The pair arrived together in Paris' Range Rover and caused a frenzy at the front door. And after their meal, the newly reunited pair shared a little tender text-messaging time on a bench at the valet stand before zooming off into the night.

Riggs told TMZ that Paris is working with his daughter, Rachel, to help her develop a more complete sound. He said that Paris is surprisingly shy when she sings, but, Riggs says, "she's getting there."
