Paris Hilton’s Private Dinner Party

Paris Hilton’s Private Dinner Party

In Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, Paris Hilton made a grand arrival to her own private dinner party last night (January 19).

The heiress, who showed up at the Turning Leaf Lounge clad in a stunning sparkly blue dress, spoke briefly to press before joining her fellow guests for a night full of fun.

And the talk of the evening centered on the fact that Paris was wearing a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger, with an onlooker telling: “She was all smiles as she waved her rock at the waiting public and left smiling with a minder and friends.”

Hilton is in town to support “The Hottie and the Nottie,” a film she executive produced and stars in. And while the movie’s not in the Sundance lineup, the former Simple Life star is making sure to use the media buzz surrounding the festival in an effort to boost her flick’s notoriety.

According to the LA Times, “Regent Entertainment (coincidentally, also a Sundance sponsor) is having its “Nottie” party at the Bon Appetit Supper Club at The River Horse Cafe Sunday.  Word is Paris will also hit 50 Cent’s Sundance dinner and do a MySpace chat with him.”
