"I am thrilled and very anxious to be hosting my first-ever 'One Night In… New Jersey,'" says celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. "I'm looking forward to bringing to Atlantic City some of my favorite musical acts and special surprises, and since its Halloween weekend, some over-the-top costumes! With two hosting gigs at Harrah's Atlantic City that weekend, I'll have to have some tricks up my sleeve! Double the pressure! Double the fun! I can't wait!"
