'Jealous' Paris Hilton desperate for a baby!

New York, July 16 : Jealous of good-pal Nicole Richie grabbing headlines with her baby, Paris Hilton has now hit on the only way to put her back into news - a baby of her own.

Desperately trying to follow suit with Richie, the 27-year-old socialite is trying for a baby with beau Benji Madden after only six-months of courtship.

"She's jealous of all the attention [best friend] Nicole Richie has been getting and knows she's fallen off in the tabs lately," The New York Post quoted a pal, as saying.

The friend added: "A baby would put her back in the news."

And to make sure that she gets what she wants, Hilton is even swearing off drugs and booze.
