Not one to miss out on a red carpet opportunity, Paris Hilton was spotted hamming it up as she arrived for the 2009 People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday (January 7).

Held at the Shrine Auditorium, the former "Simple Life" starlet was on-hand for the night's ceremony just following a recent trip to Australia for New Year's.

On a sour note, it was just announced that Miss Hilton is up for a Worst Actress for her work on the film "The Hottie and the Nottie" at the annual Razzie Awards.

The film is also up for Worst Picture, with the big losers being announced at the Barnsdall Gallery Theater on February 21.

They’ve been living it up in the land down under all week. And following last night’s festivities, Paris and Nicky Hilton were spotted out and about in Sydney again today (January 1).

The “Simple Life” babe and her designer sister looked excited as they made their way to Icebergs at Bondi Beach for a New Year’s Day party.

And Paris gave the paparazzi plenty to be excited about, sporting a sexy white party dress while Nicky showed off her own unique fashion sense with a multi-colored ensemble.

Last night, the heiress siblings welcomed in 2009 with a massive bash at Sydney’s exclusive Piano Room as part of the Bongo Virus New Year’s Eve party.

While last night’s D&G flagship boutique opening was quite the shindig for all who attended, it was an even bigger deal for Paris Hilton, who was spotted chatting away with her ex-boyfriend Benji Madden all night.

Upon arriving, the “Hottie and the Nottie” starlet did her usual paparazzi pose-down before being greeted by the Good Charlotte rocker, who whisked her inside. She subsequently pulled him into a private corner so they could talk, and did her best to ward off any shutterbugs.

After grabbing drinks at the bar, Paris and Benji headed out to the smoking patio to chat some more, each of them oblivious to anything going on around them.

However, they both ended up leaving separately, with Benji heading out with his brother Joel and girlfriend Nicole Richie, while Paris hung with sister Nicky and her boyfriend David Katzenberg.
