What a b!tch!

Paris Hilton and her pasty-punk Benji Madden are stepping on Nicole Richie’s million-dollar toes in a major way.

Rather than finding their own perfectly secluded area, the two have taken up residence next door to the former Simple Life star in the quiet suburban town of Glendale, California.

Sidebar: After a four-month courtship?!

Richie and her baby daddy Joel Madden originally relocated to escape the pressures of Hollywood, and the constant snapping of shutterbugs. Raising their daughter Harlow in a humble environment was important to them, and Miss Thing had to go and spoil it.

“Nicole moved out there to get away from the paparazzi,” a friend of Richie’s slipped to Page Six. “But when Paris calls them, they come to her quiet street and disrupt everything. She’s getting a little fed up.”

The ex BFFs have been on much better terms lately, however after this newfound development I wouldn’t hold my breath for a full-blown reconciliation.
