PARIS HILTON - PARIS HILTON REFUSES TO DENY CARTER MARRIAGE PLANS

Sexy socialite PARIS HILTON has fuelled reports she and boyfriend NICK CARTER plan to wed - by refusing to rubbish the speculation.

THE SIMPLE LIFE star has only been dating the hunky BACKSTREET BOYS singer since December (03) but their relationship is already very serious.

Hilton, 23, says, "It just feels so right when we're together. We have been inseparable since we started dating and that's the way we like it.

"Nick is lovely. He has been a great influence on me. He's helped me get my head together and be more in control of my life.

"We both feel the same way about it."

And Paris also laughed off reports linking her to film star LEONARDO DiCAPRIO, adding, "Leo and I never really dated, we just turned up at the same parties. One report said we had a fight in a taxi - Leo and I have never been in a taxi together. That's the kind of publicity I can live without.

"I was also described as the latest It girl. I still haven't discovered what that is."
