| Paris Hilton at the Ballet
http://www.inreview.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=536937
Aside from celebrating Helgi Tomasson's 20th season at the helm of the illustrious San Francisco Ballet, the 72nd opening night Masked Ball gala at City Hall Wednesday crackled with excitement as revelers buzzed over the celebrity-sprinkled crowd.
And making a late but hotly anticipated entrance, the Hilton contingent: reality TV star and hotel heiress Paris, with her parents, Kathy and Rick Hilton. Invited by auxiliary PR chair Claudia Ross, the gang connected via San Francisco jeweler Rosalina, who designed Paris' necklace: a stunning cascade of golden South Sea pearls and diamonds.
"Entertainment Tonight's" "The Insider" followed the Hiltons, filming their preparty prep back at the hotel, and surely we don't have to tell you its name. The cameras continued to roll during dinner as Paris patiently greeted a swarm of hovering fans. Still, she managed to slip into the foyer and chat on her cell.
