Paris Hilton Turns 30

Paris Hilton, best known for well...what is she really known for ? I guess her last name lol either way she will be celebrating her 30th birthday this Thursday. But when your last name is Hilton you obviously require multiple celebrations , so Paris began her week long party on Tuesday with a gift of a yellow Lexus. But of course that was just the beginning.

The socialite followed it up by staging her first 30th birthday bash - on Tuesday night she was joined by 300 friends, including rapper Lil Wayne, comedienne Kathy Griffin, and sister Nicky, at a 1920s-themed party in the Hollywood Hills.

The heiress wore a red basque and feathery skirt for the Pimps and Showgirls party, and told her followers on Twitter.com: "So amazing when Lil Wayne stopped by to give me a birthday present. Everyone at the party loved seeing him!"

Hilton looks set to continue the celebrations in style - earlier this month she revealed she is planning a series of parties to mark the big day, saying, "It's a big birthday so I'm going to be going to a lot of places to have parties: Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas.

I'm totally stepping it up for my 27th Birthday this September :)
