Dita Von Teese after Paris Hilton at Opera Ball

(Jan. 16, 2008) In 2007 Paris Hilton (mostly known for her private video Rick Solomon, the just-a-couple-of-weeks-husband of Pam Anderson) visited Vienna to be the celebrity guest of the Austrian entrepeneur Richard "Mortar" Lugner, this year on January 31th the ex-wife of shock-rocker Marilyn Manson will come to the famous Opera Ball. After other stars like Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra or Grace Jones Dita Von Teese will be at THE society event and will also show up at the Lugner City Shopping Mall in the heart of Vienna to write autographs. After many speculations - names like Kylie Minogue, Eva Longoria or Heidi Klum appeared - Van Teese was invited due to the wish of Lugners daughter. Just a couple of months ago many people were wishing that "Posh Spice" Victoria and her husband David Beckham were invited, but now they will come to Vienna - but not as Lugners guests.

Dita Von Teese was born in 1972. She started one of the first model-sites on the internet with more than 10.000 photographs. The Playboy-model married Marilyn Manson in 2005 and divorced just one year later.

Richard Lugner is one of Austria's best-know personalities due to his image as a party animal and his reality-show "The Lugners". He recently divorced from his wife Christina and started seeking a new girlfriend via TV. The chosen-one - Bettina - will also join him at the Vienna Opera Ball 2008.
