Paris Hilton rocks a new ring – from Benji Madden

Socialite shows off diamond band

Paris Hilton is as publicity-shy as ever

Is Paris trying to send a message to boyfriend Benji Madden while out shopping in Hollywood?

Always one to keep the public talking, Paris_Hilton
showed up to talk about her new hair extension line with Sally Beauty Supply wearing a notable new accessory: a two-banded diamond ring on that finger.

Asked if the baubles were an engagement ring from boyfriend
Benji Madden, Hilton told PEOPLE, "No, it's just a present. He's
sweet."

Still, the duo have already discussed marriage. "We want to
stay together forever," she said Thursday. "I wouldn't do a Vegas
[wedding]. I don't know where or when but I do want it to be romantic."

Betting that Nicole_Richie and Joel Madden
will beat them to the altar, Hilton doesn't mind following in her best
friend's footsteps another way, as well. "Nicole is our first friend to
have a baby ... Seeing Harlow, it really makes me want one. I've always
wanted to have a baby.”

Until then, she's content on practicing her mommy skills on
Harlow. "I’m definitely 'Aunt Paris.' " As for Benji? "He'll babysit. I
can tell he's gonna be an incredible father. He loves babies."

Benji Changed My Life in Every Way

With memories of
dancing on tables in clubs still fresh in her mind, Hilton, 26,
acknowledges how much she has grown since she started dating the Good
Charlotte rocker four months ago.

"When I was younger I loved to go out, but now that I'm in a
really great relationship it's so much more fun to stay at home," she
says, "We don't really like to go out. We have game night, friends come
over and play Monopoly. It's chill." She also loves pampering her man
with some homemade food. "I love to cook for him, I cook great
lasagna."

"I've grown up a lot. I'm at peace," she added. "He's changed my life in every way. I'm happy."

Laughing about her beau's rocker look, she says her she follows
some words of advice from her dad to look past it. "My dad said you
shouldn't judge a book by its cover," she said. "He doesn't act at all
like someone who has tattoos everywhere! I love him so much that I
don't pay attention. I don't even look at the tattoos anymore."
