"We love you Paris!" screamed the tween girls into the cold, dark air outside the Regent Highland Park Village movie theater. Little did they know that it would be nearly another hour before the object of their affection would make their girliest of dreams come true.
That was the scene from the freezing red-carpet premiere of The Hottie & the Nottie, a film Paris Hilton swooped into town Tuesday to promote. Approximately 200 people waited outside the theater with the hopes of getting a glimpse of their idol.
And wait they did. To pass the time, the crowd fielded questions from the media horde in attendance. (Sample question: "Why do you like Paris so much?" Young girl's answer: "She has like the best life. Ever.")
When the guest of honor finally arrived at a quarter to 7 dressed in a white fur coat and bright yellow dress, she posed, pouted and pressed the flesh like a pro. Presidential candidates should hope for such a reception at their campaign rallies. And after about 15 minutes, it was up the stairs to the theater, where she introduced the film to those lucky enough to score tickets.
"It's a very sweet story with a sweet message, and I'm proud to be showing it for the first time in Dallas," she told the crowd.
After that, it was off to Ghostbar for an invitation-only party at which Paris donned a sparkly dress and gamely danced on a couch to a mix of Daft Punk songs. For the night's well-wishers, it was a memorable, if not brief, experience captured by so many cellphone cameras. For the star of the show, it was just another Tuesday night.
