Tracey Edmonds isn’t letting the demise of her marriage to Eddie Murphy get in the way of having a good time.

Edmonds is making the rounds at the Sundance Film Festival. Sources tell me she was spotted on Saturday at VitaminWater’s private dinner for 50 Cent at ChefDance.

“She came through a back entrance and didn’t allow photos,” a fellow dinner-goer told me.

And then on Sunday, I’m told she hung out in the Fuse TV Lounge at Harry O’s during the 944 magazine and Tao party. “She was drinking and laughing with her girlfriends,” an eyewitness said.

Speaking of the 944 and Tao bash, Paris Hilton was there. Her upcoming comedy movie, The Hottie and the Nottie, had been feted earlier in the evening at a Bon Appétit dinner prepared by Iron Chef winner Cat Cora. When the movie’s after-party started at about 11 p.m., Hilton took a trip to the bathroom with two gal-pals. No biggie—except why on earth did her big male bodyguard join them in the loo?

After that, the heiress headed over to Harry O’s, where she jumped on stage during Velvet Revolver’s performance to bang a drum or two. Then she made her way to the Green Door Mansion to hang in the Dom Pérignon VIP room. The snowstorm was in full force by the time she wanted to leave. Hilton had to stay put for about an hour until the closed roads were reopened to traffic.

Meanwhile, Kirsten Dunst did her best not to be seen. She ran into Main Street Deli at about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday to get away from the crowd. “She just wanted the back door to ditch out of here because there were people following her,” an eyewitness said.

At about the same time, Dave Matthews was down the block at Butcher's having dinner. When a young female fan sent him a beer, he insisted she come over to meet him.

Sundance runs until Saturday. I’m going to have a lot more for you as the week goes on.
