( CM ) - Rockers GOOD CHARLOTTE have given guitarist BENJI MADDEN's girlfriend PARIS HILTON a warm welcome into their family, after showing up to watch the heiress shoot the first episode of her new reality TV series.
Earlier this week (begs19May08), Madden and his fellow bandmates were present to lend their support to Hilton as she began filming My New BFF (Best Friend Forever), a TV competition in which 20 hopefuls compete for the chance to be the socialite's confidante.
And, in an entry posted Friday (23May08) on her weblog, Hilton admits she is grateful for the group's encouragement: "Him (Madden) and his friends came out to support me. I love how he's always there for me, he always knows how to make me smile. Life is amazing, couldn't be happier, excited for what the future holds."
Updating his own blog on the same day, Madden hints fans will be pleased with the programme: "When you are part of the GC (Good Charlotte) family, everybody comes out to support. We had a fun night watching them shoot the show.
"I can't ruin the surprise too much with the show, but I can tell you it's really funny."
