Fast losing its prestige, the commercialization of Robert Redford's 25-year old independent Sundance Film Festival is inundated with pseudo-celebs, who use it as a playground to party and pose, alienating the A-list crowd.

Getting the most attention, was none other than Linda Bollea, star of 'Hogan Knows Best', wearing a fur coat and pink lipstick, paraded her 19-year-old toyboy up and down Main Street , to fully utilize the photo opportunity. Nick, her son, who has spent time in jail, didn't mind the intimate canoodling of his Mama and her boytoy, who happens to be a high school pal of Nick's.

Paris Hilton, the perennial party-princess failed to make a star-studded appearance and flew in on the ExpressJet Friday evening, after attending the VIP cocktail at L. A hangar, accompanied by Brittany Snow, Sundance hit 'The Vicious Kind' co-stars and Demi Moore, who clearly missing husband Ashton Kutcher, kept a low profile.

The majority of celebrities strolling Sundance streets and hitting the hotspots like 'Danity Kane' diva Aubrey O'Day, Sarah Larson, George Clooney's ex-girlfriend, Tila Tequila's ex Courtneay Semel, who was seen making out with her on-again/off-again heiress lover Casey Johnson at TAO nightclub, Shar Jackson, the ex of Kevin Federline, with kids in tow, basically had no particular reason to be in town.

Waiting hand and foot on Paris Hilton, more slave than sisterhood friend was Brittany Flickinger, the winner of Paris 's recent 'My BFF', doing everything the hotel heiress requested.

We don't think this circus is what Robert Redford had in mind when he initiated the Sundance Film Festival for independent film-makers!
