Benji Madden DROPPED 35LBS. FOR Paris Hilton!

Paris Hilton may have broken Benji Madden’s heart, but at least she whipped her ex into shape! The 5-foot-7 Good Charlotte guitarist lost a whopping 35 pounds while dating the heiress, 27. “Benji seemed self-conscious about his weight when he started seeing Paris in February,” an insider close to him tells Life & Style. “He was also launching his DCMA Collective fashion line and was focused on how he looked, so he started dieting and working out.” But has Benji, 29, gone too far? “He looks scary skinny,” says the insider, “especially since the break-up. He’s already lost enough weight, but he’s still going.”
