Well, it wasn’t a coincidence that saw Robert de Niro, Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Ben Affleck, Lily Allen, Charlize Theron, Michael Jordan, Mischa Barton, Mary-Kate Olsen and Lindsay Lohan (plus SamRo, natch) all turn up in Dubai last night. They were all (plus lots more hangers-on) attending the launch of the $1.5 billion Atlantis resort on the man-made Palm Jumeirah island. If you’re feeling financially embarrassed by the credit squeeze at the moment, you might not want to know that the launch party cost $22 million, and celebrities enjoyed eating tons of lobster, smoked salmon, oysters and champagne, while watching Kylie Minogue perform a set in front of the world’s biggest fireworks display. Oh, and they were all flown out there for free, and got to stay in suites worth tens of thousands of dollars a night.
Next time you hear someone complain about “loss of privacy” or “paparazzi intrusion”, just look at their happy little faces last night. Honestly, it’s totally worth it. [Photo: Getty Images]

BEN AFFLECK? Wasn’t he just in the Congo “bringing awareness” to the plight of the poor and downtrodden there? If the truth has been told – isn’t his pregnant wife dealing with a stalker situation at this moment? Where are his so called priorities and beliefs? Guess all of that is out the window with freebies like lobster and champagne…
I know I’ve already posted, but this whole Dubai debacle really p*sses me off. We have celebs who go about touting the poor in these foreign countries – yet these celebs cash their paychecks here in the good ole USA and attend free orgies of capitalism without a twinge of guilt. According to celebs that are oh so informed and evolved -Ben Affleck , George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie – we should be ashamed that we are Americans because we refuse to jump on the bandwagon they are riding. Hypocrites!
