CHECK OUT OUR INTERVIEW WITH 944!
America’s most talked about socialite, Paris Hilton, is all set and confirmed to host 944 Magazine’s Sixth Anniversary Party, which will precede 50 Cent’s headline performance on Thursday night during Super Bowl Week at 944 Village. Well now that we know that Paris will be there, what exactly will she do? Carly Harrill, the Corporate & Marketing Manager at 944 Magazine, told us that, at sometime after 8 p.m., the star of Simple Life and upcoming movie Repo! The Genetic Opera will appear on the main stage briefly to address the partygoers and talk about the party.
During the evening, she is expected to spend a good amount of time in the village’s exclusive Main Tent, where the VIP and celeb crowd are likely to be found. Hilton, who is featured on the cover of the February issue of 944 magazine, will, at some point, sign twenty-five copies of the magazine for pre-selected individuals. If you want to increase your chances of getting a glimpse of Paris, VIP tickets are going for $500, plus taxes and fees, at 944 Village’s website, but prices are subject to change on January 18th. VIP tickets are more than two-thirds sold out, so now is the time to make your decisions about where you want to party on Thursday night.
