Britney dating Hilton's ex-boyfriend?

Britney Spears is said to be dating Paris Hilton's former boyfriend Benji Madden.

Good Charlotte guitarist Madden, who split from Hilton last month, was introduced to Spears by her manager Larry Rudolph.

"Larry made some phone calls and Benji ended up being the most interested in being fixed up," a source told In Touch Weekly.

"They've been on a few dates. She appears to like Benji a lot, and he seems to really like her."

Rudolph reportedly decided to set Spears up with Madden after drawing up a shortlist of potential boyfriends which included Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford.
