Paris Hilton sashays in Dubai

3

It’s true, she’s bringing her freakshow of a show to the Gulf and we will probably all be glued to it. It’s funny that she decided to cover up for the show “in keeping with local customs.” Whose customs? Dubai is a big party shake-your-booty kind of a town. She’s such a poser. I wonder if the actual contestants are from the UAE or Arab or just anyone living in Dubai.

She talked briefly about it on The Ellen Show, but it turns out that it’s true. She is actually doing a BFF show in Dubai. She did the US twice and the UK once. But, she hasn’t gotten enough U’s, so she is doing the UAE. The show will follow the same format, but a little bit more discreet. The elaboration on that is not made available, but I am guessing she won’t be veiled. No word yet, on what or where the contestants are going to be / from. But, it is going to be an interesting bunch of episodes. For the full article go here. Next up, Uruguay.

The father of the the little girl who played the main character’s love interest in Slumdog Millionaire has tried to sell her for 200,000 British pounds to, what the tabloids are alleging now, a so-called “Dubai Sheikh.” No names have surfaced yet and the father has been arrested. There are claims of a video tape arising about that meeting. I just can’t believe that there were two adults that would actually go along in these negotiations to buy a child. And it had to be someone from this part of the world to have no value to human life, or a women’s life, where it come to the actuality that a human life is for purchase, a la the slave trade years. What a shame! I hope the name comes out for all to know. Good thing the actress’s mother informed authorities in time.

New York Times rates Beirut #1 place to visit in 2009…

beirutAs much as I like Beirut, I don’t think they got it right this time. I mean Beirut has its charm, but it is definitely not the greatest spot on Earth to vacation in. At first, I thought the article was trying new things, but it totally discredited itself when they put Doha, Qatar in 9th place. Dubai, maybe. But, Doha?
