Paris' Backpack Model Lover

Paris Hilton’s got a new man.

He’s been identified as a 22-year-old Swedish tourist called Alex Vaggo.

A source close to the heiress-socialite-singer-actress is quoted as saying: "We all met Alex on the street near the USA Hostel in Hollywood."

"The hostel is $27 a night and they shove in six people to a room. But in the morning there are all the pancakes you can eat."

They added: "Our friend introduced him to Paris and she immediately took a liking to him. He's very hot. He's living much better now."

According to the New York Post newspaper, Paris is so taken with the globetrotter that she's introducing him to Ford Models scouts this week.
