Paris Hilton arrived in Vienna today to attend it’s prestigious Opera Ball. Paris and her Opera Ball companion, Richard Lugner, hit up a local mall to sign autographs, where Paris received a very cold welcome–onlookers began throwing trash at the unsuspecting socialite.

“Hello everybody, it’s so good to see you,” the 25-year-old hotel heiress/reality TV star cooed as the crowd went crazy. “Happy late Valentine’s Day!”

The session was cut short when several objects landed on the stage and Hilton was whisked away by security guards.

Richard Lugner, who is Hilton’s Vienna host, said the flying objects included cigarette packs, tissues and lipsticks. The 74-year-old married construction magnate invites a celebrity to the city’s prestigious Opera Ball each year. His previous guests include Geri Halliwell, Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra.

The Austria Press Agency reported that sheets of paper that floated onto the stage were fliers from a communist youth organization.

Hilton later dismissed the incident as “no big deal” and said she loved her fans, APA reported.

I think being pelted with shit from a communist youth organization rates on my list of things as “a big deal.”

Anyhoo, organizers expect about 4,500 politicians, socialites, and wicked rich dudes to attend the ball this evening.
