NOW that her career in reality TV is done, and since her acting and singing careers never got off the ground, Paris Hilton is back to making money the only way she knows how - by trying to get people to pay her just to show up. A Las Vegas insider said, “Paris and [sister] Nicky are shopping their partying ways to Vegas at the price of around $500,000 - only they have the guts to ask for that amount - for a multiple-day New Year’s Eve bash. Paris will ‘party’ at a few spots and Nicky will bless the lucky host with a fashion show of her wares and model herself.” Our source says only Pure - which is so starved for publicity that it tried to host Lindsay Lohan’s 21st birthday and asked Britney Spears to show up - “may be coming all the way up to the asking price, although [the Hiltons] are so desperate now, they should be paying the clubs for good p.r., not the other way around.” Last year, Paris was demanding a mere $100,000 to host a New Year’s Eve bash. We just want to know how much of that money will go toward the halfway house she said she wanted to build for female convicts after her stint in jail. Hilton’s rep, Mike Sitrick, said, “That is not accurate.”
