Will Paris Hilton hook up with Prince William on New Year's Eve?

Paris Hilton and Prince William?

Please, noooooooo.

According to Fox News' Pop Tart, Prince William may be planning to hook up with the newly single Paris Hilton on New Year's Eve in Australia

Now that's a "gotcha" rebound, if ever we've heard one. The House of Windsor meets the House of Hilton.

Seems Hilton and her ex, Benji Madden, have a gig to attend the launch party for a new social online networking system, Bongo Virus, in Australia. Paris is booked to host. Benji is set to spin.

But since Prince William spent time with Paris in London when she was there for her "My BFF" show, she may have ended it with Benji to make room for Willy.

Bongo Virus confirmed that Prince William had been invited to the New Year's Eve bash but declined further comment. Wonder if Kate Middleton knows about this NY Eve date?

"We aren't that worried if Benji and Paris don't want to come together," said the Fox News insider. "But we know Paris will definitely be there, and we can't wait."

So did Prince William's extra attention irk Benji?

Benji can be well, kind of jealous and controlling, which apparently played a significant role in his split from former fiancée Sophie Monk. "He was always angry that guys were hitting on her," says our Down Under source.

Now that the former Queen of the Nightlife is back to her old tricks, there's nothing like a little royal attention to put the sizzle back into Paris' sagging image.

"Paris has seriously let her image slip since being with Benji," says our insider. "She desperately needs some exciting headlines to boost her ratings!"

The strange part about this is the unsettling fact that Paris Hilton thrives in the celebrity-obsessed culture that probably killed Princess Diana, Prince William's mother.

Creepy.

What do you think? Should Paris date Prince William? Or is the end of the world as we know it?
