Paris Hilton is paying her publicist well.

The birthday girl is 28 years-old now, and she has orchestrated a mini-press junket trumpeting her soirees and her new boyfriend, who reportedly ripped a mic away from her in Vegas exposing her lip-synching.

Hilton also gushed to Extra about her "BFF" Nicole Richie being pregnant again. “She always said she wanted to have five kids … It’s great they’re adding a new one to the family.”

Hilton celebrated her birthday this past weekend in Vegas with new boyfriend Doug Reinhardt and Hilton just couldn’t stop blathering about her new man.

She told “Extra,”  “Doug and I became friends about a year ago and we continued talking and hanging out. And now we just got back from Tokyo....He's such a gentleman. So sweet and nice and elegant and smart and fun. I'm just really happy that he's here."

Also, Hilton shared how happy she is that best friend Nicole Richie is expecting her second child with Joel Madden. Hilton declared, “I think it’s exciting. I've known that since she [Nicole] was a little girl, she always said she wanted to have five kids, so I think it’s great they're adding a new one to the family." She continued, “She loves kids. It’s what she's always wanted. "

“Extra” joined Paris Hilton as she returned to Las Vegas’ Hard Rock Hotel and Casino to celebrate her birthday at the property’s nightclub.

“Extra’s” interview with Paris Hilton airs tonight.
