Washington, Sept 16 (ANI): Paris Hilton continues to insist that she and rumoured beau Travis Barker are just "good friends".

The Hilton hotel heiress was caught making out with the former blink-182 rocker, who recently announced his split from wife, actress and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, at the Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club in Las Vegas, Nevada recently.

According to TMZ.com, while exiting from Hollywood nightclub Hyde, a photographer asked the heiress, "What's up with you and Travis Barker?"

The 'Stars Are Blind' singer replied that he was one of her "dear friends", and that she was still single.

"He's one of my dear friends. I'm single, he's my friend," she said.

Hilton had earlier told MSNBC's The Scoop that she had not been making out with Barker but one of his equally tattooed pals named Alex.

"I did not make out with Travis Barker. I was with his friend ALEX, who I met that night. It's nothing serious," Contactmusic quoted her, as telling The Scoop.

Hilton does understand why the people got the two mixed up though, for not only does he have tattoos like Barker, but also sports the same Mohawk hair style.

"He looks like Travis, he has tattoos all over his arms, and he has a Mohawk. People must have confused him with Travis," she added. (ANI)
