Make fun all you want about Tara Reid earning her dolla dolla bills by hosting a New Year's eve bash at a Chicago Marriot, but at least she didn't have to fly halfway around the world a la Paris Hilton to earn her fee. While Paris launches the new beer line Bondi Blonde on the New Year and Tara Reid hits the continental breakfast, what will their young Hollywood gal pals be up to? The LAT rounds out the list of how professional celebrities earn their dues:

• Britney Spears will be at Las Vegas' Pure with a midnight toast from a champagne total worth more than Kevin Federline's net worth

• Pamela Anderson will be at Vegas' Tao pretending not to notice that:

• Kid Rock will be at Vegas' Jet, where he'll be treating revelers to a "rare DJ set." Which, clearly, will involve a set of iPods.

• Christina Aguilera will be in New York at the Hudson Hotel, alongside gossip blogger Perez Hilton and hoards of hangers-on.

• Jessica Alba will be at Miami's Setai hotel, but unable to carry the event by herself, she'll be joined by Hilary Duff's veneers and Ben McKenzie's brooding.

We hear Talon Torriero has yet to lock down his New Year's Eve hosting duties, but luckily there's a new Valero gas station opening Jan. 1.
