BEHIND THE SCENES AT SUNDANCE, PART II
When Naomi Watts and Heath Ledger arrived at a Sundance party thrown by Details magazine, Sean John and the William Morris Agency, they found the front door too packed to tackle. So along with actress Laura Dern and Ben Harper, the Aussies retreated to the back staff entrance. Once inside, the couples danced and mingled with Andre 3000 of OutKast, Paris Hilton and Nick Carter, Nicole Richie, Mena Suvari, Peter Fonda and Shannon Elizabeth.

SUNDANCE BELONGS TO PARIS
At the Fred Segal Beauty shop at Sundance, Hilton and best pal Richie, who stopped in to have their hair done and get manicures and pedicures, had everyone giggling because they call each other "bitch." "Bitch, that looks so good!" "Bitch, come see this!" Later, at a karaoke event to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation (which raised $10,000 for the charity), Hilton dedicated her rendition of Lionel Richie's "Hello" to Nicole. David Arquette, who hosted the event (held at the PlayStation 2 Lodge), kicked off the evening by singing the Rolling Stones classic "Paint It Black." Hilton beau Nick Carter treated the star-studded audience to his version of Prince's "Purple Rain."

UNDERPAID TRUMP?
With ratings high for his reality series The Apprentice, Donald Trump says he may ask for a raise to appear in a sequel next season. "I will probably ask for the same amount that all of the people are getting on Friends," he joked to reporters in Los Angeles. "If they are making a million and a half each a show and there are six of them, I assume I should be entitled to something around that figure."

SPEAKING OF THE DONALD ...
Ever wonder what America's most famous billionaire listens to in the back of his limo? "Believe it or not, I have been listening a lot to The Eminem Show," he tells PEOPLE.com. "I really like his music. It may not be politically correct to say so, but I am telling you he is absolutely a genius." In his quieter moments, Trump is also a fan of Neil Young, Elton John and Christina Aguilera.
