Niarchos and Hilton in March
Paris Hilton is back together with her ex-boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos – at least for now.
"We're together now here. We love each other," Hilton, who, like Niarchos, is in Saint-Tropez, told PEOPLE on Monday at Diddy's Unforgettable 50 party aboard a rented yacht.
While talking to PEOPLE, Hilton paused for a moment to call Niarchos on her PDA. "Stav, where are you, baby?" she said. "Come on over. I love you." Seconded Hilton's friend, Carolina D'Amore, "They love each other very much."
On Saturday night, Hilton was seen partying with Niarchos at the VIP Room nightclub, where she treated him to a pole dance. The following night they kissed at the nearby club Les Caves du Roy. Hilton, 25, and Stavros, 21, split in May after seven months of dating.
Niarchos was previously involved with Mary-Kate Olsen. After his split from Hilton, he was spotted partying with Lindsay Lohan. Hilton was previously engaged to Paris Latsis, also a Greek shipping heir.•Reporting by Dana Kennedy, Courtney Rubin and Nancy Wilson

Pamela Anderson, Kid Rock Tie the Knot
Kid Rock and Pam Anderson on July 30
Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock had a wedding ceremony Saturday on a yacht in Saint-Tropez, PEOPLE has confirmed.
In a note on her Web site posted Sunday, Anderson described the nuptials as: "The best most romantic wedding of all time." "She was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen – like a modern-day Brigitte Bardot," Jimmy Choo owner Tamara Mellon tells PEOPLE about Anderson, who wore a white string bikini to her nuptials.
"Kid Rock was a total rock star. He gave her a good kiss. Everybody was crying." Adds Elton John's husband David Furnish: "It was a real rock n' roll wedding." Anderson says she plans to post photos of the event "from inside the boat that we took" on her Web site soon.
The marriage, however, is not a legal union, according to the mayor's office in Saint-Tropez. "It was just a celebration," said a spokeswoman for the office, who explained that in France couples are required to have a civil wedding at the mayor's office in order for it to be legal.
Anderson and Rock (real name: Robert Ritchie) do plan to tie the knot in the U.S. – several times – soon."I'm going to get married a few times this month to the same guy," Anderson, 39, said July 26 during a news conference in Las Vegas.
"We had to do Malibu, we've got to do Detroit, and we've got to do Nashville." Anderson and Rock, 35, began dating in spring 2001.
They became engaged on April 11, 2002, in the Las Vegas desert, but split the following year. Still, when they ran into each other early this month in Saint-Tropez on a mutual friend's yacht, the feelings were still there. "It was like we'd never been apart," Rock told PEOPLE on July 11. "(I) love her to death." Anderson announced their engagement on her Web site on July 18.
So why the whirlwind nuptials? "It's just timing," Anderson told PEOPLE on Wednesday.
"It's being in love, obviously, and it's time for me to move on with my life and get on with the rest of it with my kids."
The British Columbia-born Anderson has two sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, 8, with ex-husband Tommy Lee, to whom she was married from 1995 until 1998.
Her kids were with her when she ran into Rock earlier this month. "It was so nice to see them," Rock told PEOPLE. Detroit-born Rock has a 16-year-old son, Robert James Ritchie Jr., whose mother is Kelly South Russell, a Detroit auto worker.

Kevin & Britney Mix Work, Romance in Vegas
Spears (left) and Federline on July 29
Kevin Federline traveled to Las Vegas for work – to shoot his "Lose Control" video – but, with wife Britney Spears in tow, managed to find time for fun.
On Thursday night, Federline, 28, Spears, 24, their 10-month-old son, Sean Preston, and seven friends hit the Sin City restaurant Tao at the Venetian, where Mom and Dad dined on Buddha Chicken and Kobe Sirloin and baby Sean enjoyed mashed carrots, spinach and asparagus prepared just for him by head chef Josh Thomsen, a source tells PEOPLE.
On Saturday, Federline, who will perform "Lose Control" at the Teen Choice Awards on Aug. 20, filmed the video for the song at Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace.
Once the video had wrapped at around 10:30 p.m., Pure opened to clubgoers and Federline and his crew stayed to celebrate.
Spears, who is expecting the couple's second child this fall, stopped by shortly after midnight and received a hug and plenty of attention from her husband, an observer tells PEOPLE.
After half an hour of canoodling, Spears headed to Tao at the Venetian with a few girlfriends and watched the dance floor from a private perch, while at Pure, Federline took center stage, emceeing from the DJ booth.
And he knew how to work the crowd – "Lose Control" was played four times, and by the final spin, the crowd was chanting along.
