Britney Spears, who previously won the hearts of Justin Timberlake, Kevin Federline and a paparazzo named Adnan - is reportedly now dipping into Paris Hilton's sloppy seconds.

Now In Touch is reporting that Spears and Benji Madden have been "secretly dating."   Britney's manager Larry Rudolph supposedly set them up hoping to use their relationship to promote her upcoming tour. Ahh celebrity love - it's just like breeding horses.

Pop Crunch says, "They’ve been on a few dates,” a snitch close to Madden revealed in the December 29 edition of the tab. “They met once at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills for dinner in a hotel suite.”
So far, things are blossoming smoothly for the rumored lovers. “She appears to like Benji a lot, and he seems to really like her.

"According to the In Touch spy, Britney’s manager worked with Papa Jamie Spears to create a list of potential boyfriends for the pop icon. In addition to Benji, the list also included Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, actor Jesse Metcalf, and Olympian Michael Phelps.

“'Larry made some phone calls and Benji ended up being the most interested in being fixed up.'"

Of course Madden was the "most interested" - he's also the "most D-list" and he's got nothing going on besides who he's dating.
