Paris Hilton has taken over the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel tonight...literally.

In true Hilton style, the roof is decked out in pink, from the lighting to the bubbly, and the entire wall of the building is projecting commercials for her latest venture (and the reason for the party): The Celebrity Styler, a curling iron/brush/flat iron.

The event starts at 7 p.m.  A few My New BFF castoffs mug for the cameras before Paris' parents, Rick and Kathy, hit the carpet. At 7:36, the guest of honor arrives with boytoy Doug Reinhardt in tow. The couple takes a few quick photos before Doug bows out for P's solo shots.

Then its time for pics with her parents. Kathy is loving the cameras—like mother, like daughter—until a reporter informs her that daughter Nicky was in a minor fender bender...

Tonight is a total paparazzi dream: Two parties on Robertson Blvd, and one has Lindsay Lohan on the guest list.

The first stop for me and the girls from The Hills and The City is the Undrest lingerie store party, where Lo Bosworth said she came to pick up some sexy things for her boyfriend.

Don't know who he is? That's because he's not on the show.

"We've been dating six months and he has no interest in being on the show," she told me.

Whitney Port made a quick appearance, swooping in and out (with gift bag in hand) in under an hour. Super-skinny Stephanie Pratt says she hasn't upped her gym routine, and I actually just saw her eat sushi and two bites of a Sprinkles cupcake before ditching the remainder of the treat. That's her secret! (Or maybe she owes her svelte figure to cutting out alcohol? She's due in court in the morning to be arraigned on a DUI charge.)

And where's Lohan? Follow me...

Nicole Richie was too sick to attend her own party, but the House of Harlow launch at Bebe in Beverly Hills went on without her.

The fashionista has some kind of flu, but was feeling well enough to update her Twitter about how she ordered takeout tonight. Hope the delivery man doesn't catch her bug.

Across town at the Shine On Sierra Leone party at Playhouse, Lindsay Lohan and Lamar Odom were on the tip sheet, but an hour into the party there were still no celebs. So if the stars weren't going to be there, then neither was I.

Over at the Puma bash on Wilshire, Jessica Stroup was walking through the back parking lot by herself. Edward Norton made a low-key entrance with a guy and a girl. Word is he tried getting his Fight Club costar Brad Pitt to attend, but no such luck. Hey, if we had Angie at home, it'd be hard to make us leave the house, too.

Plus, this party has Port-a-Potties for celebs and plebes alike. Thumbs down.

Next up for me and the party posse: Maxim's party at Voyeur hosted by Kristen Bell. See you there—or check back tomorrow to find out what happened.

The good news is Lindsay Lohan finally won an award!

The bad news is that it's for being fashion's biggest partyer, according to Style.com.

L.L. lived up to her Most Valuable Partyer status last night, when she hit Villa for Leonardo DiCaprio's 35th birthday bash.

But maybe she's embarrassed about taking top partying props?

She tried unsuccessfully to hide behind a jacket as she entered and exited the club.

Surely she couldn't be shy about being snapped attending Leo's soiree? After all, the two have been spending quality time together lately...

Zac Efron just got back into town from filming The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud in Vancouver and has wasted no time hitting up the party scene.

Last Wednesday, he swung by Nylon's party at XIV solo, where his High School Musical costar Ashley Tisdale was also hanging. (The two had just lunched together on the Monday prior.)

And on Friday night, Zac was all over the place—first heading downtown to check out the opening of Hyde Lounge at the Staples Center arena.

The HSM hunk hung courtside at the Lakers game for a bit before swinging by the lounge, where he held court with three guy friends.

"The boys were really enjoying the game and not noticing the gaggle of girls trying to get his attention," a source tells E! News.

But it was another story back at a West Hollywood nightclub...

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have moved in together, but you wouldn't know it by the way they acted last night!

Kristen was hosting a Maxim party for Assassin's Creed II at Voyeur but walked the red carpet without her funnyman.

Could it be because Dax has no game? "He doesn't play video games," Kristen told E! News. "He doesn't have the motor skills!"

Even inside the bash her beau kept his distance.

"They were on opposite ends of the room," a partyer says, noting Kristen's man also refused to take any photos with her. Some boyfriend!

Also rolling without his significant other at the soirée was Kourtney Kardashian's baby daddy...

Amidst rumors of her husband's fling with a stripper, Fergie is standing by her man...and flying to his side, joining Josh Duhamel in Georgia, where he's filming Life As We Know It with Katherine Heigl.

Just last night, she was spotted dining with Josh at Atlanta hot spot Chops Steakhouse and Seafood.

The couple is staying next door to the restaurant at the St. Regis Hotel, a manager for Chops tells E! News. Ironically, this is the same hotel where Tattletales dancer Nicole Forrester claims her affair with the married actor occurred.

Reps for both Fergie and Josh deny the incident.

A source tells E! News that Duhamel is extremely upset about the allegations, which he has roundly denied to close friends and associates. In fact, sources say he has broken down in tears numerous times since the story went public.

And while the Duchess is now on the scene, locals say Josh is usually out solo...

Olivia Wilde may be so sexy that she makes Megan Fox "want to strangle a mountain ox," but she hasn't decided on her own girl crush yet.

"There's so many fabulous women!" she said at last night's Jimmy Choo for H&M launch party. "I'll get back to you."

While she wouldn't commit to a crush, the House star did share some scoop about costar Jennifer Morrison's role on the show...

Although Paris Hilton left Doug Reinhardt home last night and attended the Jimmy Choo for H&M party with her family, the two are still going strong.

And what about that incident between the couple on Halloween night where P's phone ended up getting tossed out of their limo?

Her rep says things got blown out of proportion.

"There was never a choking incident," the heiress's rep tells E! News of paparazzi shots supposedly showing Doug's hand on Paris' neck. "The photographs show Doug asking Paris not to go back outside and to calm down.”

So why was her phone thrown out the window by Doug in the first place?

When you're supermodel Heidi Klum and impossibly gorgeous everyday, you don't mind getting ugly on Halloween.

That's exactly what the new mom and her hubby, Seal, did at their annual fright night fete, held at Voyeur. The couple were almost unrecognizable in crazy crow costumes, which Heidi designed herself.

They weren't the only ones who went to the birds...

Paris Hilton donned a Swan Lake ballerina costume, while her boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt, wore a Tooth Fairy costume. Inside the bash, Paris showed off her dance skills on the banquette, natch...

One party wasn't enough for Paris Hilton's boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt.

While Paris threw him a bash last week in advance of his actual birthday on Thursday, the couple continued celebrating his 24th in Vegas this weekend—doing it up in typical over-the-top heiress style.

On Friday, they checked into the Hard Rock Hotel and hit the U2 and Black Eyed Peas concert.

Saturday, the on-again duo first stopped at a pet store before heading to Circus Circus for roller coaster rides and carnival games, along with Doug's guy friends.

After a disco nap, the festivities continued at Body English, where P. presented Doug with a huge cake, which they promptly smashed in each other's faces.

Things almost turned sour later that night when they came close to running into one of Paris' exes, who was also at Hard Rock...
