Benji Madden just lost major street cred in our book. People magazine reports that he is so in love with Paris Hilton that he had to put his feelings to music.

“He actually wrote me a beautiful song, and actually recorded it in the studio. He surprised me with it. It’s called, ‘Shine Your Light.’ It’s this really beautiful love song about me. It was the sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me.”

We wonder what Benji thinks of Paris using his special, intimate gift to her as PR for the Hilton machine. There’s a lot of vanity in those size 11 feet, kids. She just had to make sure everyone knows that she’s got dude wrapped.
