Star says she’ll use him to up her celebrity status a bit

Precisely one week ago, as football star Cristiano Ronaldo was hitting the party circuit in LA to celebrate his £80-million transfer to Real Madrid, the first pictures of him and alleged new fling Paris Hilton first started to emerge. The two spent no less than two nights together, from what reports are saying, and are not ready to stop at that. Paris for one plans to make the most of her recent relationship, as an unnamed source tells The National Enquirer.

Talk of how much Paris loves to be in the spotlight has been around since forever, with even some speculation that she would do just about anything to keep her name in the headlines. Because of this, the spy reveals, she really wants to give the Ronaldo affair a go because it would generate the best kind of publicity she could ever want. Staying with him even for a little while would bring Paris the kind of money she has always wanted, says the insider.

In her own words, overheard by the source and then cited by The Enquirer, Paris could soon become a new, better and twice as interesting Victoria Beckham, while the handsome Ronaldo could be her own personal David. “We could be great together, you know. We’re both so famous we’d become even bigger than David Beckham and Posh Spice. We’re way hotter and younger than them anyway!” Paris reportedly told a friend at her sister Nicky’s house, right after getting friendlier with Ronaldo.

In her usual manner, the heiress seemed to have fallen completely for the football star, even promising him she would follow him wherever necessary just to be together. It’s not just the prospect of becoming a WAG that’s so exciting for Paris, though, says the same source, as is the idea that she’ll now be popular again. As any gossip lover must know, while she dated former reality star Doug Reinhardt for half a year, entire weeks would go by without Paris’ name popping up in the media which, rumor has it, is truly unconceivable in her world.

“I told him I’m going to move to Madrid to be with him. I promised.” Paris reportedly said. The Enquirer source then adds that “Doug was just a washed-up reality TV star. All of a sudden there wasn’t as much interest in Paris, and her appearance fees were cut dramatically. She was working like a dog to make the same amount of money as before. She knows if she wins over Ronaldo she’ll be one of the hottest properties again.”
