Gwyneth Paltrow is SO conceited. She probably bragged to everyone that the diamonds on her gown were just her own royal droppings, since she is the only celebrity to be able to poop raw diamonds on command.

A little trick she learned working in Thailand.

I wouldn't go. These people are crazy. Four years for having a microscopic spec of weed on your shoe? Or four years for a dirty pee test? How about the fact they confiscate your passport and threaten jail if you can't pay a mortgage? Some in Dubai are upside down on condos that haven't even been built. They are virtual prisoners, if they get laid off or fired they face jail and will likely have to be smuggled out of the country.

Don't be fooled, these are still backward countries with a medieval culture. What happens when a hillbillie wins the lottery? You get a rich hillbillie.

She's a celeb so the rules don't apply, she can pretend she's not in middle ages land with a thin veneer of modern civilization, but it doesn't change the facts. I say they are all hypocrites who go there and wallow in the luxury, meanwhile the radicals plan destruction. No wonder they hate us so.

The dress is pretty, but her hair could look better.

I'm not quite sure what the big deal is. I mean the dress is great. But she'd better not be seen by Morals Police. She could end up in jail for a month and paying a fine of $250.00

Yes, Abu Dhabi is in the Gulf/Middle East, and no, if she were from Abu Dhabi and were dressed like that, she would not get stoned! I just returned from a weekend in Dubai, and you would be shocked at what they wear and how free they are in the Emerites (where both Abu Dhabi and Dubai are).

Don't confuse the rest of the Gulf with our good friends the Saudis- where such dress in public is strictly forbidden.

And the dress is beautiful. She is just another New York city blond rich girl- nothing special. Blue blood and a famous mother. And a very clean colon, as if I wanted to know.

According to http://www.visitabudhabi.ae/en/uae.facts.and.figures/culture.history.and.heritage/culture.lifestyle.and.traditions.aspx

What might be considered appropriate in terms of clothing for males and females visiting Abu Dhabi?

The dress code in Abu Dhabi is generally relaxed although it is recommended for visitors to avoid wearing very revealing clothes (e.g sleeveless tops or very short skirts or shorts) whenever they are in public places, out of respect to local culture and traditions.

National Costume

Local men and women in Abu Dhabi are easily distinguishable from expats because of their traditional dress: men wear Dishdasha, an ankle-length, collarless gown that is usually white, matched with headdresses (guthra), while women wear black Abayas over their clothing. Elderly married women sometimes wear the burkha, or a special facial covering, whenever they go to public places. Modesty as well as adaptability to the weather are key elements that have defined these traditional costumes.

Will someone please explain why it's news when celebrities clean out their colons?

That and other bodily functions that we don't need to know about. Awhile back, somebody was talking about his maturbation habits, someone else about his allergy to vaginas, someone else the size of his genitalia,, etc., etc. We don't need to know this stuff.

At least it wasn't a see-through fiasco again...(Oscars...)

It's Abu Dhabi, did Gwyneth not read the wardrobe memo before arriving?

I thought the same thing. Maybe she never heard the saying "when in Rome do as the Romans"

Exactly. I think it was a case of Paltrow getting all 'political' and 'subversive' in her own little Goop.com way.

Who did she do to get her Oscar? She has not talent, unlike her mother who deserved an Oscar for Prince Of Tides.
