Paris dumped Nick Carter on advice from a psychic.  She was spotted out with Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst. 

Now you're single, parties will be loads more fun!  What sort of guy will you be looking for?

" Someone honest - I cannot have anyone lying to me.  And they have to be funny, because I love to laugh.  Oh and smart, and doing something with their life, and respectable.  and hot - I wanna have cute kids. "

So what makes a guy hot?

" I like guys who are tall, I love blue eyes and I  love that all-American look.  I also like sexy guys with dark hair, good bodies and a great face.  but they have to have everything else, too, besides looks. "

Do you have any secret talents?

" I'm really good at ice hockey!  I played all through school and was the best player.  I only played with girls though - I'm a little scared to play with guys. "

You're in House Of Wax.  Do you want to follow in Cameron Diaz's model-turned-actress footsteps?

" Yeah, definitely.  In the next five years I want kids - but I also want to be acting and singing.  And while we're talking about it, can I just say that Cameron Diaz was never angry with me [it was reported that Cam was peeved when Paris started seeing Jared Leto].  And I love her!  I think she's the cutest, most gorgeous actress there is."

And what about marriage?

" Yeah, but not right now.  I'm too young... There's too much divorce these days.  And I'm having waaay too much fun! " [Nov. 2004, blissmag co uk]
