  Atlantis resort Dubai.jpgThe new Atlantis resort, on the The Palm Jumeirah resort in Dubai launched last night, at a cost of $20m.

Chefs Nobu Matsuhisa, Santi Santamaria, Michel Rostang and Giorgio Locatelli had come up with an array of elaborate dishes for party attendees such as Robert de Niro, Lindsay Lohan and Charlize Theron. Denzel Washington, Janet Jackson and Michael Jordan were also in attendance, partying to DJ Samantha Ronson's wheels of steel.

Kylie Minogue performed for an hour, and took away £1.3m for her work. Then there was a video sequence including Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra performing as the Goddess of Atlantis, a suitably evocative but vague role, while a firework display six times bigger than the Beijing Olympics opening effort hit the skies. Who needs to worry about money?
