Paris Hilton's floating around Australia looking like she's hardly the party animal she's made out to be. . . and that's a welcome change! The heiress is getting ready for her paid party hosting tomorrow night, where she will be appearing with her sister Nicky. 

Paris is pictured here heading for a Sushi E dinner at Establishment (great chiffon strapless dress, P!), and it looks like the rumored cold sore on her lip has all but disappeared. Good news for her-- that means she'll be getting ready for a New Year's kiss after all.
