Are you a horrible camera flash-stained, fraying-at-the-edges tabloid media
darling who mourns the loss of the recent American rococo decade? Is everyone
being poor and complaining all the time just too much for you? Well worry not,
dear inexplicably financed friend, because Dubai is waiting for you! Oh you know
about crazy Dubai, don't you? Unlike this ailing and needy nation, the Arab
Emirate is flush with sandy money and crazy man-made islands and, ooo, brand-new
gaudy hotels! Like a beacon or a lighthouse calling to them out of the icky
dark, American celebrities who had it better when the world was gold showed up
in droves for the huge, $20 million dollar opening gala for the new Atlantis
Palms megaresort in Dubai this week. Look who was there partying while we back
here in the home country hopped boxcars and ate cold soup thickened with
sawdust:
Cocaine-snazzled actress Lindsay Lohan, who is now a gay person dating a gay
woman who deejayed at the bash. Odious "actress" and model Mischa Barton (who,
OK, was born in England, but she made her money here). Tax-dodging half-vampire
Wesley Snipes. Too-bored-to-ever-know-where-she-is fashion plate Mary Kate
Olsen. I guess things here in the patriotic old US of A got a bit too messy for
them, a bit too elbow-greasy. So they flit on over to some twirling, towering
desert city of steel and glass where the champagne still flows and the hotels
are tacky and people still have the energy to celebrate it all. Fair-weather
Americans if you ask me.
While the country burns—literally and figuratively—these folks spent how much on
dresses (and, um, banana-yellow suits in the case of Mr. Snipes), to go fete it
up in the Middle East and had the audacity to smile?? Well I hope they like it
over there in Terrorist Disney World, because they aren't allowed back here.
