Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington and Lindsay Lohan are just a few of the celebrities attending what has been hailed as the ‘world’s biggest party’ in the buzzing Arabian city of Dubai.
The $20 million party on the world’s only man-made island is to launch Atlantis-a giant hotel and water park owned by South African hotelier and casino boss Sol Kerzner-and will host an array of A-listers from across the world.
“Nobody has ever done anything like this - except me, when I opened the Cove in the Bahamas last year…I’m going to upstage myself,” the UK’s Times Online quoted Kerzner as saying.
Kerzner reportedly calls the project his billion-dollar baby and has spared no expense on “the world’s biggest party,” the paper added.
Some 2,500 people-mainly celebrities, royal guests and UAE VIPs-will be welcomed with a fireworks show said to be three times bigger than the one put on at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a special performance by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, who was paid $3 million, the UAE’s Gulf News reported.
The star-studded guest list includes Charlize Theron and her husband Stuart Townsend, British singer Lily Allen, U.S. actresses Mary Kate Olson and Misha Barton. Tom Cruise and David and Victoria Beckham are rumored to be attending.
Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra and Arab singer Nawal Al Zoughbi along with Janet Jackson and her beau Jermaine Dupri, basketball superstar Michael Jordon and model Petra Nemcova are also among those expected to attend the exclusive lavish party.
