Halos slip in Dubai

Behold, the images from last night's opening of that resort in the Mammon-humping hellscape that is Dubai, where the unofficial theme for the party seems to have been "Celebrities you don't EVER have to listen to if they EVER start lecturing you on human rights again".

These include: June Sarpong, Richard Branson, the Duchess of York, Lily Allen - the Wordsworth of the MySpace generation, Matthew Freud, and Vanessa Feltz.

Those are by no means the biggest stars - Michael Jordan is always going to edge it over Feltz - but they're the ones most likely to make some big show of being conscientious in the near future, which you now know to be complete cobblers. Can't you read, Sarpong? Or was the suite too nice to turn down?
