A GLITTERING array of stars were outshone last night by a display of a MILLION fireworks at the £15million launch party for the world’s poshest resort.
The pyrotechnics at the £1.5billion Hotel Atlantis, on the man-made Palm Jumeirah Island resort in Dubai showed the worldwide credit crunch wasn’t hurting everyone.
It was SEVEN times as big as the display that launched the Beijing Olympics in August and stretched along the 320 miles of Palm Jumeirah, illuminating the Arabian Gulf.
It followed a concert by KYLIE MINOGUE who was paid £1.5million for a 40-minute set.
Her audience included royalty, business tycoons, sports stars and a Who’s Who of show business.
Actors ROBERT DE NIRO, DENZEL WASHINGTON, WESLEY SNIPES, BEN AFFLECK and RHYS IFANS rubbed shoulders with Hollywood beauties CHARLIZE THERON, MISCHA BARTON and MARY-KATE OLSEN, singing stars DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY and supermodel AGYNESS DEYN.
