Superstar to build property here
 
http://www.arabianbusiness.com/50594...am-home-in-uae

why is it that every time anyone remotely famous or ex famous (or just not dead yet), comes here the papers role out a stroy of their desire to buy, build or move here......yawn.....PR machine fatigue is setting in again.

ps has anyone famous actually bought here or is it the usual hype upon hype were so used to?

I have no idea...and I don't care to be honest...I mean it doesn't really improve my life, seeing so and so in Mall of the Emirates or whatever...

So you didn't see Justin Timberlake when he visited the M-O-E the morning after his AD concert? He was charming...

likewise, but it is annoying that everytime someone vaguely famous is in the UAE the papers go on about them buying, eg the world must have been sold about 3 times over by now!!!

yeah I agree...I reckon it's more a publicity thing then anything else...and they surely won't be living here with all the restrictions...

"It's a really amazing culture. I got to watch the sunset last night and that was just incredible. I love it really. So I bought some land," Timberlake was quoted as saying.

I thought that the anti-papparazzi (sp?) laws made this place attractive to celebs?
