Paris Hilton has told PEOPLE magazine that she wants to have babies so she can have play dates with on-again/off-again best bud Nicole Richie.  Richie is expecting her first child with rocker Joel Madden in January 2008.

Nicole and I have been playing together since we were two years old,” she told PEOPLE at the Nissan Live Sets One Year Anniversary Party. “I was just telling her, ‘I want a baby so that our babies can play together.’”

Still, Hilton admits, she has a few things to take care of first – like finding a man! “I don’t have a boyfriend right now,” the Simple Life star insisted. “But I would love to start a family.”

I have never been a fan of mandatory birth control but my beliefs are quickly changing.
