Paris Hilton’s New Beau

By: Shannon Gossage

Hilton hasn’t officially announced her new relationship with Australian surfer Tyler Atkins, but he has spoken out about her. Atkins said in a recent interview, "She is a really smart, amazing girl and we share similar interests. We have been hanging out at the beach, talking about fashion and it has been lots of fun. She’s a cool girl and we’re having a really great time enjoying each other’s company."

Atkins is reportedly a designer for the Australian-based clothing company Rock Stars & Angels. The line is available at certain boutiques in the U.S. such as Kitson. Hilton has her own line of clothing so the two obviously have much in common. Hilton rented a house in Malibu for the summer and the two have been spotted hanging out and canoodling on numerous occasions. Last Saturday the two were spotted at the Lia Sophia jewelry clam bake and then hung out at the Rock & Republic’s fifth-anniversary party.

Hilton has been staying in Malibu since shortly after she was released from prison. The heiress was sentenced to 45 days behind bars for violating her probation stemming from an alcohol related charge. Hilton claimed that her stay behind bars had changed her and that she was going to show people that she became more spiritual during her sentence and that she wanted to build a transitional house for inmates…but it seems as if not much has changed. Hilton is still living the good life and doesn’t seem to have changed a thing about her thinking or way of life...anyone suprised?
